Do you think we could ask him to make a camel?

ive talked to aro about this. i think many of those animals are pefect for hammerfell. a camel would definatly be a good adition... but i dont know if he would be willing to make it due to the amount of work (extensive modeling not just modifying a mesh and whole new anims). who wants to ask?

I sent him a message.

Regarding the Rhino, I think the mesh/texture we have is better.

It's not helped by how the color of the head doesn't match that of the body. Probably a lighting discrepancy or something like that (just like what plagues all the necks in Oblivion).

But, is our own rhino fully functional yet?

It's a matter of adding animation to it. And if we use anything from this pack, we can just take this pack's rhino animation, and either use it point blank or modify it or use it as a guideline to make another one (shouldn't be too hard, but then again, I'm not an animator... it may be the hardest thing in the world), and then sounds. We have some working sounds but some tweaking would really help.

Waalx rigged his rhino to the boar skeleton, so it has boar anims. He showed a video in one of his previous threads, and it works convincingly.

Yea, boars. That was exactly what I was thinking about for combining with the rhinoceros mesh.

Sidenote: I don't really want too many RL animals. And I'm still not sure in which region should the rhino go. Propably helkori plains. Not for goldmoor for sure. While the camel goes to the dessert and needs to be really yoku equipped like on Elfane's dunedweller concept.

Yarrr, Rhinos are totally savanna animals.

I really like the antelopes he did though.

Yea, but remember it's still a WIP

Let's see what this dude can make for the final version.

I thought we had a camel already? I definitely remember seeing it around maybe a year or so ago.
