Dear lord that's scary-lookin... (and people compliment my worm)

You can do animation in Milkshape, by the way (unless you were trying to state that you don't know how to).

As always, impressive work Dres.

Holy mother of fuck ! That's cool ! But I suggest removing those moss from him. Or it is not moss ?
Now we have a worm infestation

Be prepared.

Really? That's not good.

Hey Dres... as a curiuosity, how many polys does your worm have?

From the Chumbalum Soft (Milkshape Devs) forums:

I model in Milkshape for Morrowind but the otherwise excellent exporter does not export bones or animation

it can import the skeletons, but it cant import and export animations at all.

I've heard the same on the ESF forums. There may be the 'strip animation' and 'include animation' options in the exporter, but they are blocked and I imagine they are simply there as a placeholder. Remember that the NIF exporter is still in alpha, and may never get out of that stage, seeing as it is made by freelance guerilla programmers and is unaffiliated with Gamebryo NDL. You never know though.

But hey, don't take my word for it, try animating it then exporting it yourself and see how you go.

nice! i am not to fond of the head tho... it seems angular, and the texture is kinda..um..not realistic looking (eyes loor painted)

sry, i know im not a mesher/texture artist, so i dont technicly have the right to coment on these things.

just my 2 cents

If you can do an unwrap, I'll be happy to texture it for you

How big will this guy be? If it is following Dex's concept, then it would have to be slightly larger than a Dunmer.

I reckon that we should make it a mid-sized beast as an average and then either scale up or scale down

Dres · Post by **Dres** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 11:21 pm

ill put the height so it will be a little bit bigger than half a dumner :D and for the texture yu can try to change it graf if yu want

With a dark-green retexture, I think this would be most perfect for the Argon Jungle.

Dres · Post by **Dres** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 11:53 pm

i ve removed the moss and i rescaled it

oh and it have 3416 polys

Hey Dres, still working on it?

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Mon Sep 05, 2005 5:54 pm

Yeah, a mossy one for the jungle and non-mossy for the caves. That could work.

The Old Ye Bard · Post by **The Old Ye Bard** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 4:43 am

wouldn't it be better to just have one.

Vernon · Post by **Vernon** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 4:55 am

At 3416 polys, it certainly can't be used in the Argon Jungle, as the FPS there is abysmal as it is. This will have to be indoors only.

PoHa! · Post by **PoHa!** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 3:00 pm

Certainly the polycount can be reduced some...
Dres, you still around?
