WIP: Chocobo

[~Dark Side~]

So can we expect it within the month?

 

~Dark Side~

[LightNinja]

well, i'll start when Cuillere send me the model "Resetxform-ed", though im rigging the model i have to have all or some of the animations done when he send me the model. I can't say a date, it depends, i can finish it in one day if i'm amused by the fact that im animating, or i can do just a walk animation in one week (yep, a bit wierd).

[LightNinja]

rigged, tomorow i'll start with the animations

[~Dark Side~]

Why does it have black around its feathers?

 

~Dark Side~

[Psyk0Sith]

Because it uses alpha channels to cut out the feather shape, great work guys!

[Szico VII]

yeah, i just assume the shader isnt present for that pic.

[LightNinja]

yep, i dont know how to use the alpha channels in 3dsmax, but it will look like in Cuillere screenshots

[~Dark Side~]

Good, good. Now hurry and finish it.

progress:

 

death animation done, i put some bones in the eyes to make them move a bit, just a bit, they cant close the entire eye but well, its better than nothing, i have to make a skin for the mouth and dont worry about the FPS is because i just pressed "render" without selecting fps, ingame it will look ok.

[Szico VII]

looks good, as said on gf. sprinting anim anyone?

[~Dark Side~]

*drools* ahbmgguhh......

 

Must....have.....

 

Ooo oo, sometime later you should make a Bionic Chocobo, so it's more like a swoop (i.e. super fast, and shoots lasers) instead of a Tauntaun.

thats an editing request so do it in the apropiate forum (which means no, i won't do it)

 

and for the run animation i found this jewel:

exactly what i needed ^^, also if anyone hasnt noticed it the stand pose is like the one of the ff game

[Grievous..]

I think the colours need to be darkened on your model , But its Great looking! and good luck with the animations!

It wasn't a request, it was a suggestion to spice the vehicle up a bit. But looking back on it, that would seriously screw with animations, wouldn't it? But either way, just release this vehicle so that the Chocobo jousting can begin!

[Szico VII]

plus chocobos aren't suppossed to be bionic Final Fantasy and chocobo genetic engineering are a no-no

[~Dark Side~]

Geez, you think I don't know that? It's called creative license, sheesh.

 

~Dark Side~

[Szico VII]

Still, I think a bionic chocobo would just not be in the spirit of ff at all. Just my view.

[~Dark Side~]

You still working on it, LightNinja, or are you taking a break?

 

~Amakou~

[Szico VII]

I think he's off in new york or somewhere at the moment
