[Sansui]

Awesome. Should be fun have not animated anything in a while.

 

[Kwaliti]

I'll enter...

No offense, but those dragons of yours need feeding.

 

[Pyritie]

Nah, it's only Firch's skin that has the ribs showing. And I don't like fat dragons.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Dragons normally have some fat, not just ribs unless they are really turning around.

The reason that games normally have ribs of dragons showing is that it makes them look more hungry and thus more fierce and willing to fight.

A healthy normal dragon should have not too much fat, nor too little as they should be wellfed as well as not being totally overweight (due to compitition not letting them have all they can eat).

 

[Pyritie]

Yes, well Firch is the bad guy, and he's been exiled for a while, so he's been surviving by himself. So he's probably pretty hungry.

I dunno, ask Dionesiist. He made the firch skin.

 

[DesKaladA]

Oh ide jsut like to comment on some small thing

i'm just kinda mad that there isnt a file format that i can use without haveing to RErig the mdx

 

[donut3.5]

What do you need?
--donut3.5--

 

[DesKaladA]

I dont know
i think .x or .lwo might do it

 

[Pyritie]

Donut, he uses Blender3D.

 

[DesKaladA]

ya so perferbly .blend

 

[Pyritie]

Soo... has anyone started yet?

 

[RED BARON]

Just for the notice, I might do something for this.. but exams is closing in.. but then again... in a week I got some good amount of freetime.. so

 

[Pyritie]

Yup, this one lasts for a whole two months.

 

[DesKaladA]

Well sorta
Its going to take ma hours to RE RIG
the entire thing....
i wish there was a .x 9 versoin of it

 

[TDR]

hours? man, it's for wc3 not for a cinematic...

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Took me all of 15 minutes to rig it.

 

[Pyritie]

Well Chriz, apparently Sansui was having problems with your model. Something about the faces on the head not being welded properly or something.

 

[Sansui]

yea man that thing opened weird, it was broken into way too many pieces.

And it wasnt rigged... plus the jaw was misligned... maybe i downloaded the wrong file either way. I has it all fixed up and awaiting animations im just lazy.

 

[Kwaliti]

I'm racking up ideas about flight and stuff

 

[Pyritie]

But they're not flying...

Unless you're talking about Scorch's "tumble-fall".

 

[DwarfZealot]

i'minfoshoy'all

edit:when i try and import to max an error occurs any ideas?

 

[SuPa-]

The skeleton of unnatural godliness!

 

[donut3.5]

Supa, tell me how that works for you, because I hate the one I'm currently working on
--donut3.5--

 

[SuPa-]

I haven't actually rigged it yet

There's an annoying amount of unnecessary polys. If it works well I'm going to put it here, if not, I'll try making a better one

 

[Pyritie]

edit:when i try and import to max an error occurs any ideas?

Ask Chriz. He did the max rigging.

 

[DesKaladA]

Still i'm pissed that there is no cross editor safe file format

but once i get it done i'll sumit it here

Also
can i just do it in gmax and uplaod the .gmax file?

 

[Pyritie]

No. Mdx's only for your final submission.

WIPs can be in gmax, but good luck trying to export it.

 

[DesKaladA]

grrrr

..... i shall find a way

 

[Deleted member 126647]

The max file is rigged, I didn't use bones, I just used the mesh. You can change it if you want, I just tried to make it as detailed as possible.

As for issues with opening it there shouldn't be any, and I don't have any idea what your problem is Sansui.

If you rigged the max file, could you send me a rigged one without material applied because i use 3ds max 7

 

[KingBob]

I'll join the contest!

 

[Pyritie]

So has anyone even started on this yet?

 

[DesKaladA]

I need it as a boned .md2 file
so i cant
also the mesh has sooo many usles points its impossible for me to do it efectly

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I'm just going to have to come right out and say no. I won't explain the reasons, I think I've already told people countless times why I'm so busy lately. I do hope to try this though; I would love another award icon.

 

[KingBob]

So far I've finished 4 and a half animations (stand 1, stand ready, attack 1, death, and sort of a walk animation). I've started to get lots of work in school lately though, so I don't think I'll be able to add to it for a while : (

 

[Pyritie]

Hmm. What program are you using? Maybe I could make it into a .gif as a WIP if I have that program.

 

[Pyritie]

I attached a poll because this contest so far doesn't seem to be working very well.

 

[RED BARON]

well havent been around my pc in this week as I thought I would, (you know why)

can't recall when this contest was bound to end, but not sure I am going to have time to make anything. Damn school.

 

[Pyritie]

The contest is 2 months long.

 

[RED BARON]

The contest is 2 months long.

Okay, but some has gone already, so still unsure I get to make something. Maybe I just make somkind of random anim jsut for the fun of it. You might have a use for it
