MrBohannon_ 403 Posted October 29, 2016 Ok, so myself and a few others are creating a wild west mod we just wanted to know how hard it would be to create a good looking horse mod. This goes out to the people in arma who know how to animate could you do it and could it look something like thishttps://youtu.be/DZRvYwP5MWs Here is the model we will buy http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-brown-rigged-looped/675027 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheJMEShow 2 Posted October 29, 2016 Really unique idea, as for the animations, if you download the Arma 3 Samples on Steam, there is a config for a rabbit. You can use that as a reference if you need. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vvalerie2 48 Posted October 29, 2016 Wild West is a great idea by itself, but if you manage to put together a working horse and release it as standalone, even that will be worth an applause. Horses would be great for so many different uses in different eras. Good luck and ~S!~ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can use that as a reference if you need. Good luck The animations used for the dog would work well-it has good running movements. And the goat walk is okay too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggyluv 2130 Posted October 30, 2016 A western setting would be fantastic. Of course we need women, piano, cards, whiskey and women.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ineptaphid 6413 Posted October 30, 2016 American Special Forces on horseback??! Ok, confirms we have zero idea whats really going on over there. Cool read tho That picture is actually from Nov.2001. The first SF teams went in on horseback-it was the only way. The start of the conflict saw a lot of horse usage-including cavalry charges.Read the article :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PuFu 4591 Posted October 30, 2016 1. i see this is called WIP , but i see no wip content whatsoever, just a lot of generic bif enthusiasm (which all good) 2. since the mesh you plan buying is already rigged and there are already basic animations provided, the job is partly done. it needs cutom defined bi rig and getting it to work together with a humanoid character to actually be able to use it... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R0adki11 3945 Posted October 30, 2016 Someone made a working horse for OFP, maybe have a look at that :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I posted this because I wanted to see it was possible to do before we spend hundreds of hours on the mod. Because we can get western models and a map no problem, but horses on the other hand may be impossible. What's the wild west without horses. However, since we see positive feed back we are going to go head and buy the model and see what we can do with it. I'll keep all of you posted soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was under the assumption you are going to make western models rather than "get" them... I have replied to your question: it is absolutely possible to make horses in ArmA. I am pretty sure it is possible to get "riders" as well (synked animations and attached is one way). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delta Hawk 1829 Posted November 1, 2016 If you want a 3d horse model I may be interested in making you one. I don't suppose it would take very long to make one. That being said I would highly recommend you make a horse that can be used for multiple mods and scenarios, such as western, modern day, Revolutionary war .etc. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domokun 515 Posted November 1, 2016 How has no-one mentioned WW1 nor WW2? For example, within the Wehrmacht, horses outnumbered their mechanised cousins : http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=2486 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horses_in_World_War_II Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon01 902 Posted November 2, 2016 In WWII, there were even successful cavalry charges. :) Courtesy of Polish lancers, mostly, and not against tanks as it's commonly believed (they were actually charging infantry. The tanks just happened to be lying in an ambush nearby). It was a pretty effective tactic, despite its age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
