I made an elephant...

[Monodo 0]

hi!

I made an asian elephant (female) model which i need for my nam campaign ( i hope ill finish it some day->im making it for about 2 weeks, and i made only 1st intro   ).

ill try to make that u can ride an elephant ( new anim needed for rider too).

the model isnt animated and textured yet. i have some experiance with texturing so i will make that (when ill have time), but problem is with animating-> me n00b.

so, anybody wants to animate that animal?

i need dead/dying/walking/lying /taking a bath in water (elephant throws water on its back)/.../ anims.

PM me if u wanna help, and ill send u p3d!

TY

papa

Heard a rubber band,

I saw a needle that winked its eye.

But I think I will have seen everything

When I see an elephant fly.

I saw a front porch swing,

Heard a diamond ring,

I saw a polka-dot railroad tie.

But I think I will have seen everything

When I see an elephant fly.

I seen a clothes horse he r'ar up and buck

And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck

I didn't see that I only heard

But just to be sociable I'll take your word

I heard a fireside chat

I saw a baseball bat

And I just laughed till I thought I'd die

But I'd been done seen about everything

When I see an elephant fly.

   

Sorry, but I don't think that the ofp-engine will be a good base for all that animation stuff you want to have.

And is it worth all the work?

I think it's a great idea. I hope you find someone to animate this.

Good Luck!

animals behave far too random to be in a game, and an elephant is so big even the slightest movement is noticable ( flapping ear , slurf moving a bit , scratching leg)

i wish you luck, but all the animation that has to be done... must be some animator then

hey Monodo. This looks great. If a dog can be animated in OFP and a kangaroo for VBS then it is possible for an elephant as well. The biggest problem is getting it to work, however Teacup would be the man to ask, as he worked on the dog, as well as made a Maya rtm animator plugin.

Good on you for thinking outside the square.. OFP needs more lateral thinkers and creative people like you

This thing needs landing lights.

i agree with clink. talk to teacup...you'll probably get it walking at least

If I knew how to animate I'd help, but I don't. If tea cup can't

help talk to LT hunter.

however... i was saying that for example a dog pisses against a tree , scratches its head , barks , goes hunting , digs a hole... can you animate all that and make it work without taking in too much CPU power?

That will not take much CPU power at all, just have a script that chooses an animation at random (more dynamic things like hunting will take slightly more scripting, but still possible to keep the CPU usage down) Making the animations will be much more challanging though.

DAMN, maya plugin does not work with me.

Mig's mule had very nice anims, maybe he could help although i believe he already has his hands full, the Elephant looks nice, how about a water buffalo?

is 867 points and 1724 faces too much? how many polys is this? how many polys has BAS uh60?

I would let the addon makers worry about faces and polys.

3D Detail = faces  , if he made an Ephilump with 1724 faces he did well .

BAS choppers it has been stated is around 5000 - 7000 depending which model u use , and they are very stable addons .

If the LODS are done well enough , even lower spec users can enjoy them without to much of a FPS hit.

Texturing its wrinkly hide will be a challenge for whoever

Mig just released a number of animals ,cows ,ducks ,chickens ,his mule nd a rooster ,all fully animated.

Sincethose are finished now ,maybe he can help you animating the elephant ,he seems to have taken an interrest in these things anyway.

check it out at ofp.cz
