HappyTauren: Some might be put off by the size, but I will approve this due to extreme usefulness in cinematics. Getting your camera zoomed on this model could make a nice effect!

The filesize hurts my eyes.

 

[InfernalTater]

The file size... My god, did you forget to delete the rest of the campaign model? You only removed its textures?

This banner has a big file size (has like 96 bones and all are animated), so I think this is only useful in a single player map.

so yeah, that's pretty much the reason. i tried optimizing it to see if it can still be reduced but its only reduced by 1 kb or something.

 

[~DARK~]

Cool !

You can't lower more the filesize, in the original main menu, the banner is the object that makes all the filesize, each bone has traslation and rotation, like 560 lines of data..., you can't lower de filesize.

I really don't think it's necessary to have that many bones in a tiny banner.

Of course, combining bones and changing the animations would be enough work that you might as well make your own banner.

But, really, an animated banner on a stick can easily be done within 10 KB. For someone who wants really high quality animations on the banner, it could be done with under 30 KB.

I understand what you say, as I said in the first post, is for a single player map or cinematics.

Have you seen the animations?, You will not see a banner with better animation than the menu screen.

I take the time to fix the model, when I finish the model, the file size was very large, but I had already finished, so I decided to upload it anyway.

Take it or leave it.

 

[HappyTauren]

I was about to comment on how you could decrease the size a lot by linearizing animations, then I realized they are already linear. Oh well. One of the main offenders is also animation length, I am sure those animations could be shortened, though you'd lose a cycle variation.

 

[mathuzzz]

Great! I always wanted to see this one. The animation is magnificent.

I wonder why there are so many damn trees... D:

3 sec to make the pic... I'll take a picture of the banner alone, when I find the time.

Looks nice.
