Tails

Okay so this is Tails for our Sonic Campaign modler2 and I are making. The mesh made from scratch. I used Knuckles as a refrence but I didn't use any previously existing mesh of it. I just looked at it as if you would a picture. I did the mesh and the skeleton in Milkshape but the animations were all done in Mdlvis. Custom animations with 2 excellent attack animations. The tails actually move as they should. And the texture is based on DvO's skin for Sonic. I just used that as base for the texture and redid it to fit Tails. Some stuff such as the added Tail texture part on the left side are obviously new. But the layout and original texture is by DvO. It was a rare occurrence of mine to make the texture before the UV. :razz:

I hope you like my model. Please give credits to me if you use it in your map. Its preferred you don't edit it without permission but I'm 99.99% will allow you to do so. I just prefer being asked first. If you want to edit it just pop me a pm and I'll most likely grant you permission.

A little bio quoted from Wikipedia:

Tails is Sonic's sidekick and mechanic. He is able to use his two tails to propel himself into the air like a helicopter for a limited time. He is a humanoid orange-yellow fox with two tails, hence the nickname.

Update: Added attachment points, changed to a more fitting death sound, fixed collision object/selectibility.

Anyway, the model will sure be useful in Sonic maps.
 
Apology accepted. =)
I like the mesh and the textures. Animations are decent (some could have been done a little smother though).

Also, I've discovered some flaws when I've tested the model ingame:
- The model lacks attachment points, so effects like stun, slow and auras won't show on the character.
- I had to be on the exact location (head and tails of Tails) of the model or drag select him in order to select him, or else he's not selected. I know the solution of this by editing the collision box you've added (the one with your author name and stuffs) in Node Manager and change the radius to 50.
- (Optional) Not important, but a deathsound for Tails would be nice. Since his voice sounds like a kid in newgen Sonic games, the Villager Kid deathsound would fit for him.

Zerox never fails hahahaha could you be the reincarnation of black_stan hahaha.
Hah I doubt it as he's not dead (I think :xxd:) and I don't really make Japanese like characters.

wow simply good model look very nice i hope you will make more models like this :)
Don't worry I'll be making lots more Sonic characters. :razz:

So is this approved with the moderator's comments?
Yeah DvO approved it. But now something odd has happened.

A job well done Zerox.
Nice to actually see that you are doing great models nowadays!
+rep
Thanks its good to be modeling my own stuff now. Instead of just editing.

Erm... why is this back to "pending" O__o
You got me. Its probably a glitch I'll pm DvO.

Awesome model. Its been a while Z... or did I miss one? xD
It has been a while yeah. At least since any were approved. xD I uploaded Cinematic Illidan just a few days ago.

I'm glad you like my model but I won't be making what your asking for. Thats what the request forum is for.

Amazing mesh, I'm very impressed. The animations don't seem too good, but hey, its hard to criticize custom animations.

All in all, good job. :)
I admit not all the animations are great but I didn't think they were bad. Glad you like the model though.

Zerox should make One Piece models... MORE ONE PIECE MODELS...!!!

I doubt I ever will. I don't really know anything about One Piece, the characters in it, or what the story even is. I haven't ever read the manga or watched any of the anime. I only know about One Piece at all because of the few models of it at Warcraft 3 Unlimited.

Only a few!? Do you know how hard it is keeping an index updated on just let alone One Piece models that we got!? DO YOU!?

Anyway, comment model thingy. I just love classic Sonic characters so decided to actually comment on this for once :p

:D Tails is my favorite character!
Years ago, I used to always bug my older brother to play Sonic the Hedgehog 2 with me, just so I could be player 2 as Tails. xD
Recently I came across Sonic X, and started watching it a bit (Japanese subbed, thank you very much). Oh my god, Cosmo is my second favorite character, if including the show, followed by Sonic, who's my second favorite in just the games alone.

Anyways, relevant to the model...
I really like the model. Better than the other two Tails (ahaha...) models that I've seen before. I've been planning to make an RPG of sorts with video game characters, and my top 3 ideas so far have been Tails, Samus, and Spire. Most likely, the Tails in that RPG is going to be yours. :] Good luck with your project!

The more I see models like these (and holy snaps - GeneralFrank's and HappyTauren's models), the more I get tempted into learning modeling myself. xD
