Here's what it'll look like when it's not flying (we're still discussing in the IRC how exactly this will work, but we're fairly sure it will involve scripting). There are 4 separate animations in the video, with the first being almost motionless (it moves a tiny bit, but you can't tell unless you're close), and the next three being various fidgets it will play at random.

That's hawt.

Finished the take off and fly idle animations, both shown in the attached video. The wings are a little awkward but it'll probably look okay ingame. If not, I'll try and put some sort of blur mesh in there eventually.

new video with special effects

Great progress. Can't wait to see it in game.

This is looking perfect

Next time you sign in superllama, PLEASE post a WiP.

Sorry about not existing for the past few months, life dragged me to school for a while. I'm actually not sure how to export the animations I have so far into a kf (I have the exporter but I forget how to use the animation feature), but I'll at least hop on the irc and work on it without being non-existent

EDIT: Just thought I'd attach the latest two videos of attack animations. If you'll notice the claim is updated with my .max file, since I can't seem to export it due to Morrowind not being installed inside my VM (and a friend has my disks).

Nice animations! And welcome again, good to see that the work is not lost
heh

Any updates on this one?

I've emailed SuperLlama to see if we can get a sitrep to see what happened

Super Llama · Post by **Super Llama** » Sat Jan 21, 2012 5:21 pm

I never got an email from you, but I'm not dead. I went to school and have had lots of other things to deal with. Like I've said in the past-- I don't die, just disappear for long periods of time.

When we last left off, I was trying to get a Morrowind disk so I could install it in my VM so the exporter would work. I recently obtained the disk, and I'm ready to start again; also, the mibbit says I'm banned and xchat doesn't connect...

Thrignar Fraxix · Post by **Thrignar Fraxix** » Sun Jan 22, 2012 2:33 am

That is an incredibly strange bug that has appeared recently. (people randomly being banned despite not being on the ban list) Try connecting again.

I've never had any trouble with XChat2, when did you try and connect and what exactly did it say?

Super Llama · Post by **Super Llama** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:02 am

I'm using XChat2, and it just won't connect. I think it's my school's firewall.

Still kicking around, SuperLlama?

Super Llama · Post by **Super Llama** » Fri Jul 27, 2012 7:03 pm

yeah-- I hope you don't interpret my extremely slow work the wrong way-- the reason I'm taking ages is because I simply don't work on it very often because of the fact that the model isn't high priority. I've actually been using it as a test model for my game engine lately though, so it's far from the back of my mind. Btw, if any of you want to add me on steam or skype so you can remind me more often my steam is super__llama (two underscores) and my skype is super.llama. I'm always happy to work on the Skyrender or any model, it's just that it's never seemed very important. Hope that makes sense

Post by **Haplo** » Sun Jul 29, 2012 9:06 pm

That makes sense

We just worry about people disappearing for a long time, is all. The user "super__llama" doesn't exist, however.

Super Llama · Post by **Super Llama** » Sat Mar 02, 2013 7:21 pm

It should. Also yes, I disappeared again, and no, it's not because I don't care or have died. I'm easily distracted and there are things that I work on where people do remind me often (Runecraft, Gravity Hulls, Game Engine), so other stuff just falls by the wayside.

Again, steam or skype would make it easier for me to stay available.

The username is in fact "super__llama" like I said before, but maybe steam changed the way you look up friends, I don't know. I added the URL to it this time. Right now the main setback for this project is the fact that I don't have my morrowind exporter working and I'm currently enrolled with 18 credit hours in college so my free time is limited

I know our model department moves at a slower pace compared to the rest of the mod, but Super Llama hasn't been here in over a year now. I'm revoking this. Does anyone want to look at his last file and see if his work is salvageable?

Edit: Or I guess we could try contacting him on Steam, but I'm unsure if he'd be motivated enough to finish this after more than a year of not working on it.

Super Llama · Post by **Super Llama** » Sat May 10, 2014 4:57 pm

Yeah, sorry about that, a gazillion things happened this year (gained and lost a job, gained and lost a girlfriend, went to school and came back) and I'm only just settling down again, so here's a long-overdue status update. I think the file I uploaded is current, though I don't know if anyone will be able to open the max file since it's from 3dsmax 5.1. I recently got my old version of max working in linux under wine (funny how it can run old windows programs better than windows can... it normally doesn't even install on anything newer than xp), so I'm able to open the file myself and change it to another format if someone else wants to finish it. As I recall, it only needed a few more animations (notably the death animation) before it would have been ready to turn into a .nif, but I haven't been able to get my .nif exporter to work. So yeah, I'm still available, but life decided to rudely separate me from anything interesting I might have done instead, and I'm afraid I'm going to start another job on the 27th. Mostly I just forget to check forums these days, but I'm always logged into Skype (super.llama) and usually Steam (super__llama) as well.

Yeti · Post by **Yeti** » Sat May 10, 2014 5:18 pm

Do you want to claim this again Super Llama and see if you can put the finishing touches on it?

I hope your life settles down in the near future. It's a crazy world out there, isn't it?

Super Llama · Post by **Super Llama** » Sat May 10, 2014 5:28 pm

Lol yeah, sure is. I might end up finishing it, but I don't really trust myself enough to say I could take back the claim just yet... the sad thing is I've been meaning to get back into some MW-related stuff for ages now, especially since a lot of people are wanting me to finish my beta MGE fork for the Oculus Rift, and if I do ever get back to that then I might even have an opportunity to install TR again and actually keep up for a while-- unfortunately, I've discovered while working on my own projects that despite the semi-decent abilities I have when it comes to modelling and animating, I'm really a programmer at heart and never really enjoyed modelling and animating quite as much, so if anyone who does have fun working with artwork wants to take over where I left off I'd be glad to hand it over. I don't want to be distant and I'd love to stay involved somehow, but it's really a matter of motivation and I'm afraid I rarely feel like modelling anymore. So unless you guys ever need a crazy C programmer, I probably won't be much more active than I have been for the past few years, unless I randomly get my artistic side back. But yeah, if I do feel like opening max again before someone else decides to make the death animation, I might go ahead and do that myself, but I'd say it's probably safer to still consider this unclaimed in case someone else can finish it faster than I can. If I do start working on it one day then I'll claim it.

EDIT: also I'll try and keep this tab open so I don't miss any more posts in case someone does need me to send them a better file.
