I found the screen below here. Obviously it still needs a skeleton, rigging, textures and a horn :) , but it might be a start. I checked with the site and generating a creature is OK under their guidelines. I haven't joined yet, 'cause I need to make sure that I can use that in Max, and no Max yet. Frown

What do you think?

Do you have Max8 Morm? If so, can you go to that site and try their sample 3DS?

Thanks,
Steve

SACArrow, are you doing all the narmatee work up to and including animations?

I'm asking because I offered to rig a completed model to the slaughterfish skeleton, in exchange for future help for the Ocean Mod.

OblivionMon has been real busy, so he hasn't posted yet regarding the post I made on his behalf of agreeing to limited resource exchange.
Tell me what the ultimate narmatee plans are, and if I'm still needed for the job.

K, thanx!

Koniption: I'm a complete n00b to critters; I was barely able to animate a bartop. :) Any help in rigging and animating this would be appreciated. As for helping The Ocean Mod: quid pro quo, Clarice. :D If you're giving, you should be getting. I have some ideas on that topic that can be discussed off-line so as not to clutter this thread.

One skeletal question: are there animatable fins with the slaughterfish skeleton? It would be cool to animate the front fins.

Thanks,
Steve

Hmm, I looked at the slaughterfish skeleton, and the fins have bones, but they would end up being in the wrong location, so custom bones would have to be rigged to the slaughterfish skeleton and given animations for the narmatee flippers. Those bones and animations would be easy enough for me to do, I believe.

Cool. Mormacil has verified that they work with Max 9, and since it's 3DS, probably 8 as well. What's yout version? Once I sign up, I can PM the model if you like.

Looks amazing its a little while since I've rigged but I reckon I could do it :) . It shouldnt matter to greatly if the fins arn't in the right place as the collision can just be moved to the correct fin pos (if I remember corectly)

I'm OK with the idea, but it would disrupt Koniption's weight-painting, so I'll let him weigh in on this, 'cause I've never painted weight. :)

I've decided I'll redo the weight painting, if the narmatee model that was sent to me, is sent to Mormacil or someone who'll model it up to look the way it's supposed to be according to Morm's ideals. Then have the altered model sent back to me, so I can do the weight painting on the finalized form.

Be sure to tell me anything else I need to know before proceeding, that might be an issue. Or if you don't want me to continue working on it, be sure to tell me that too.

Ok, that's fine. I'll save my files. I would offer to remodel the narmatee, but since I'm not intimately knowledgeable of how it should ultimately look, I think it's better I not go there. PM me when you're ready to move forward. Until then, I'll be hanging around here and there.

Here is the updated pic of the narmatee, horn shortened, with temporary texture (slaughterfish one):

For those who inquired, here is a pic of what some animations are causing the mesh to do, being blown up/skewed and all (I will fix these):

Here is a link to a short Youtube video of one of the animations being used, a test video of sorts:

A bit off topic, but I googled 'narmatee' it to see if was manatee in another language and to my surprise all the results were either from Silgrad.com (this thread), a Japanese site that appears to be spying on us, and two reference to names. Neat huh?

That's it? I went through all that trouble for just a croton plant, which I could have whipped up myself?? No offense, but I think something a little more substantial is needed as well, even if it is just us being allowed to use an altered version of the animated beast in our mod.

Ok, I'll make it a distant cousin of the narmatee. I'll make ObMon a croton of his own, if he so desires, since that's easy for me to do. Thanks guys.

Very well, you can have the creature I made, and I won't allow it to be used in the Ocean Mod, nor will I ask for anything in return. I won't call it a narmatee anymore, since you don't feel it came out right, though it works ingame. But seeing as how this goes against my initial post here: ATTN: Valenwood - from The Ocean Mod

.....well, I don't know what to say to you.

Go ahead and keep the creature, I'm sure to make others I can use for myself in the future. Consider this as now being a contribution.

Ok, all is well now.

For the final record: we'll use the seabeast in OceanMod, and it will be different from yours, either because of textures or maybe also some minor modeling adjustments.

I agree, let's all forget about this.

Alasdair, it's ok with me if you make the creature into a horker. But you might want to see what Valenwood has to say.
