NeoMarz1 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Ok, Im working on a Bantha... Only problem is I dont really know how to animate him right now, so he may be a static model. I mean you will be able to ride him, but it wont be anything to great till I can figure out the animated part. I will post screens soon, and if anyone out there would like to help me out on this project, well...... Mars out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord60 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Sounds Great! Can't wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairwalker Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 yay, now i wont need to make one and it wont be crappy! The animating part is pretty much the same as it is done in Quake3, only the animations are stored in a seperate GLA file. Using Assimilate, just add the animated xsi file instead of the gla, proceed, and check the 'make its own skeleton' box. Then set up the animation.cfg, and you should be done... Very basic explanation, but you should get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotokan Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hey that's pretty cool, but aren't the horns supposed to be a bit fatter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord60 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Very cool work NeoMarz1 I agree horns should be fatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lassev Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Very nice model! Bantha is, for sure, one of those models a lot of people have waited for. I might ask you one day for a permission to use it in my next SP map, if you deal out permissions. We will see... The bantha should be able to eat people. There has been so much bantha fodder around lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been so much bantha fodder around lately Thats would be cool to do, not sure at all how you would do that. Sure you have permission already, as long as you give me credit. You will need to wait till its released at our site http://www.aotctc.com... but your welcome to use it. Mars out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3rr0r Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 fur should definately be darker, mouth should be bigger (make it able to open ), and the head should be more defined... ie, not hidden in the fur. also, the head juts out more than the body, and the beard doesn't go to the ground.

[FotF]Maddog Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Looks pretty damn cool, I cant wait to see more shots or get this puppy ingame. BTW real quick it reminded me of Mr. Snuffaluffagus I think it was the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMarz1 Posted December 6, 2003 Author Share Posted December 6, 2003 Ok I finished the animations, they look pretty good, but I am having a heck of a time getting ingame. For instance Im getting an error for not having the torso weighted... Dont know why, cuz its weighted. Mars out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverhoodian Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 With this Bantha model, it seems to me like someone could make a killer Tuskens vs. Moisture Farmers Siege map or something. Anyway, good job on the model. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoMarz1 Posted December 7, 2003 Author Share Posted December 7, 2003 "Bantha's in the Wild" Thanks to Psyko we were able to work out some of the big bugs, now the Bantha is ingame. I have to tell you all about this little "safari":D I spawned a herd of Banthas, and unleashed some predator's on the pack. In these shots you will see the Banthas sprinting away, as these howlers leap at the weaker ones in the herd. It was like watching the Discovery channel. Way cool! While the camara was running, a couple mercanaries came at me on swoop bikes... I quickely clammered up the side of my tamed Bantha, and did my best to ward them off with my blaster. The Bantha took a lot of fire, and sadly to say, met his demise. But at least I made it to some shelter. Much like the Taun Taun, these creatures seem scurry away at approach, so it takes a bit to get mounted on these wild creatures. Well here are the picks from my Safari, Hope you like. The animation, looks pretty good considering its my first attempt. Releas may be soon, but we are still working out bugs. With the success of this model, I think my next will be the Dewback!

RaSiN_HeCk Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Crickey she's a beaut! but yah have to be careful around these creatures, cause those horns just aren't for show! if you agitate them enough they'll stick on right through your belly! and it seems strange that these little buggers are wearing saddles in the wild. Blimey they're beatiful! Oy! there's a howler! lets see if I can pick it up by it's tail! thenI can shove my finger up it's (censore) to see if it's a shieal for a guy! lol, like your presentation Mars ; P nice job too! it looks like on the one you're riding that you're like sitting in it, I can't tell because it's from behind but you look low. You going to make a wild version? (no saddle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You going to make a wild version? (no saddle) Thanks Mate! Me and Psyko are trying to add more animations, Death, Buck, etc... I may release an early version.... I dunno, we'll see. I just downloaded Duncan's Dewback, and was amazed at how well he did it. I may not do the "Dew".... (hehe I'm funny) Any how, I probably wont make a "wild" version, cuz I'm excited to move on to the next project. Mars out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
