On a more serious note are you able to put cliff in game, just using dragon anims as a placeholder?

I'd prefer more necessary mobs were worked on than rats and mudcrabs. We can configure them to be closer to the Morrowind style when the more important stuff is done.

mudcrabs and rats are everywhere tho, so it would be wise to work on those. we cant make our own anims. beth made sure they put a creature list in .spd form that is no where to be found, some stuff points to that dir. but we cant find that file. its the last we need i think. we have replace every other file that has directory to creature files.

That really sucks, are you able to at least get cliffy in game then using dragon stuff until/if we can figure it out?

Looks good, one suggestion is if you could give his butt end a bit more structure, maybe something like this? Just so rear end doesn't look so much like a poodle. Great job :)

hmm i skinned it to wrong bone i guess.

Yeah the Nix Hound looks good, along with the butt his face could use more detail and modeling near the mandible region like in Happychappy's image, but otherwise its design is great!

me remodeling it would require a new skin, and since the skins i make in my 3ds barely ever work i dont know if i would want ot remodel just yet. so this is what ill do. ill release this one, then later if i can rework it and make a better skin i will.

Good News... Great news!!!!!!

 

me eloth and ravanna cracked the code on exporting materials to textures in zbrush, thansk to ravannas superior knowledge of how zbrush works we were able to do this. these materials add an insane amount of depth and realism, pushing this project further towards greatness. here are a few pics of what i mean. before and after pics of the shaders being applied to texture.

You sir, are a tireless factory of creature making! It will be a sad day when you have to go back to school.

Can you make them a bit dirty? They live in mud in caves, but currently look so clear and shiny like if they are living in water.

Wow, that is a stuning contrast. Keep up the fabulous work. It was also awesome to see it in game with the animations and everything! Well done!

I thought I was the only one who saw it.

Alternative for the betty netch. Uses multilayer parallax for a refraction effect. The result is that the membrane looks more gelatinous and solid. But you lose the detail of the inner brane and the branes are much closer together. I think we can have both versions floating around in game, as they both look good for different reasons. In any case another brilliant job by alex to get a beloved creature into the game :)

[EDIT - fixed version]

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1vwmz6hbHGPakkzVDNFWVRwLTA/edit?usp=sharing

You can make it appear by using command console player.placeatme ??001A37

?? is the load order of the BettyNetchRefractionMembrane.esp

Did an alternate colour for inner brane texture. The uploaded version has a blue version instead. Both have their merits...

From both pics atop, the first one seems to me just perfect. Probably the way they would have done it in Morrowind if the engine/performance would have allowed it...

Dannnngg that is cool looking.  smiley

it looks good but... it looks like a big brain in a jar and that's creepy i want more jelly and less brain like the old 1

So just a quickquestion? We had some big nice list of creature replacers or place holders right? Has anyone put all the placeholders we have permission for in the game yet? Did we ever get permission for the dwemer specter one? And is ravanna back?, he finish wicked awesome ash creatures for us? Eh eh?

I tried adding our goblin placeholder, but the goblins we got weren't compatible with the goblins that appear in Morrowind or Oblivion. Namely, they didn't support the right animation types for the weapons our goblins use.

Karma: 0 (0 votes)

Hmm , it didn't just use the new(our) goblin animations? Oh Well at least you tried! Better than what I can do

here it is folks. me n eloth worked on it for hours... okay like 3 hours but anyways its morrowind mudcrabs

It looks pretty good but I think the mudcrabs in morrowind had the "jaws of life" (or death :P ) looking mouth that it used to attack you instead of the traditional crab pinchers. heres a picture of the original mudcrab

heres a picture of the "jaws of life" machine for kicks

But of course I could be wrong. In either case I like what you guys have done and its only really a suggestion. But I'm sure bones and skinning are being a pain so I don't really care if you guys take my comment into considuration.

its not possible to do that, have to make a custom skeleton and new anims for that to happen
