theres proof that itll work in dragon so its easy to animate. as for kazdan yeah i have him all rigged just need to animate him. which is hell. http://jkhub.org/topic/700-kazdan-paratus/?hl=kazdan

might wanna check my other posts before u go sayin all that...ashuras got a good eye for making horrible stuff look better lol so im just thankful he was online... and not 2 days... 10 hours =) and i bbq'd lol... but glad to help. if u make him a custom npc file u can change his scale and make it bigger for custom animations youll need this http://jkhub.org/files/file/1471-glamerge/ and this http://jkhub.org/files/file/1227-dragon/ instructions are on the page just make u a custom avatar and import the clawfish theres tutorials here n there for dragon but mainly the one on that page provided is gunna do it for u. so make u some custom anims while i finish the textures. make u a custom .npc file for it. maybe some bot support. then when i give u the couple of textures youre going to need u can make u a shader. then yer good.

if u can add an anim to a howler u can animate this thing. hes pretty animated as it is check him out im pretty sure u can take it from here dude. just put this pk3 in yer base and spawn a howler http://www.mediafire.com/?bxbthdsts3gvdav we can work on new anims later its mad easy just import this guy into dragon as an avatar and get at it. youll also want a custom npc file and maybe a shader and some sounds. ill give u a texture update tomorrow for it... unless u wanna reskin it. this is still by all means a rough draft the teeth and spikes arent textured yet, but i figured u could get a feel for it

yeah im not gunna animate it though im sure u know how to use a lil dragin ill rig it though no worries. ill try but im not sure how the jaw is going to line up but ill get it workable. but youll just have to animate it. hell that means ill b done with this sucker tonight or tomorrow lol sweeet i was going to make a couple of color variations and maybe one with some alpha planed babies swimming underneath it, but ill just leave the textures for u and drop the babies

well its gunna have a custom skele so no MP til they can start cracking sp i still wanna texture a bit more before i bake in a bump map i made in zbrush for it. im just gunna do a real suttle overlay though nothing too bumpy because i have a real decent normal map i made in zbrush im gunna save for it for later just in case =)

i could add some more polies in there to get the real look if its cool with everybody. i didnt wanna step on any toes as to how many verts n such in case u were planning on having a bunch onscreen.. but yer right i like the real tail too so yeah ill just build it like it looks. i was considering alpha planes but then if u wanted to get nice and close to it you would be able to tell something isnt right. yeah i purposely modelled it kind of just a general idea and saved a buncha polies, but i think it was pointless but at any rate naw its not squared maybe i could have added a little more girth to it right in that beaver tail end ill look at it also... i rigged it just to check it out and get a rough idea of the skeleton i wanted to build for it... and it seems it would be best if it swam something like a mermaid huh?

i was going to ask you the same thing lol some more texture work here n there just noticed i went wayy too dark on that . im gunna have to back a few steps n try again

ill probably keep texturing this well into tonight... but ill post progress here n there...

tongue chopped off and rebuilt 2 quads lower edit: had the bottom jaw wrong at the front

oh hell good lookin out dude! yeah thats a lot better lol cool thx man gimme a lil while im thinking of bbq'ing flatter like this though u think? i gave him that nice side ridge squashed him a bit and fattenned out his belly just a little hoping im ready to uvmap this so i can paint em

yeah i feel that lol... the reference had me a bit confused as to how skinny he was or flat it just looked like a sideways eel kinda to me. hell i dunno more like this? jaw snarl removed and a little flatter eyes a bit closer together

will do thx bro lil more tweaking

ill tweak him a bit more to get him more spot on before i uv map it. im just gunna wait til later and get a fresh eye on it first.

crap man i had a whole friggin menu tutorial typed up n screwed the pooch typing it lmao.. well id say just pm me so were not blowing this thing up if u need anything

yer implying that this is a bit more accurate than this? now thats just silly =) i think i got a pretty good idea what needs to be tweaked ill just post the finished pics on here soon instead of step by step. because u ladies n gentlemen.. are dix lol

thats really helpful i appreciate your critique lmfao ridiculous

looks like 3dsmax. id erase the whole envelope on the hand, reposition the mesh of the hand to match the skele bones, and re-rig the hand. 20 minutes. as long as repositioning the mesh of that left hand doesnt make the hand look asymmetrical to the other one. suttle movements lol

yeah i was just tryina give him the simplest way n let him go from there... and ill render em with xsi if u do the work dude. u can use modtool and then gimme the file n i can import it in my xsi2012 n render it with mental ray it would be sick man its worth the effort. i was doing something like this... but like mini said, since i was making a roq i decided to go all out bump maps n high detail and it just took foreverrrr so i backburnered it. but, it would be nice to use an all original model and slash around in zbrush with it and give it nice scratches n bumps n texture then export that normal map, use the normal map for the rendering, as well as ingame once they start hacking this code up and possibly implementing something like normals. that way as sick as the model looks in the roq, itll look the same way ingame.. minus mental ray (which is a big minus lol) but it would still look more authentic and well organized. speaking of mental ray... i should do those tutorials huh? i know the basics, rendering with AO and bumps and lighting n shadows, but theres nice things like raycast n photons n things i have no idea of how to utilize

only issue i see there is with the kotf menu it had transitions... and i havent messed with those yet. theyre pretty self explanitory like the rest of the menu stuff... but i just havent dabbled with it yet... but everything else is no worries thats maybe a day of working on it. what kind of platform? id say... instead of the traditional way u see right there, which just calls for a model and an anim for it and u can just place it on the screen wherever u choose... what i would do since u want a platform is maybe build the platform in xsi and rig bobs's cloth and make a .roq file from the renders of boba standing on the platform with his cloth swaying in the wind, maybe have him look left n right every once in a while... that way yer not screwing with blending the backround in with a model and making it look all planted there... instead, you would have a .roq file with all the detail and physics and beauty in the world lol and it would just be madd easier. u could throw boba on a platform and make a lil video of him just standing there idle with some cloth stuff n random movement every now and again... then u would also be able to "animate" that coruscant backround yer talking about. make it all dope n legit. u mess with xsi? or 3dsmax or something? its honestly like a days work to rip that boba model from the game, rig a few things, slap the backround on build a lil platform and render it.

um.. no? a bit hungover if that matters. wtf has this thread turned into? lmao my grammar offends u? lol wait.. wait wait.. for the sake of all people foreign depending on google translate to communicate i will possibly use more correct grammar.. but that is funny as hell i can haz 3rd grade? u still got those felucian assets ash?
