Just a WIP shot of my creature. 1680 polys. Still working on texture seams, eyes, and animation.

Very good.

Actually, "KKK" sounds like laugh in our language. We do not support Ku Klux Klan. I would kill KKK if it was a man. Cheers.

Here is a quick shot of him in game. I may increase the normal map intensity but I think it looks good for my first FPSC model. I will do some bloody textures for the Alt texture, so when you stumble across one feeding...

I guess I'll get started on the rigging...

Very interesting what did you model it in and more importantly how did you texture it... Zbrush or the like? Textures are my current weaknesss

:S it's clearly a UV Map for his texture, not a zbrush dynamic texture... Look at his first screenie.

Actaully I modeled, mapped and textured it in Hexagon 2.1. I use UVmapper pro for clean up and welding, and photoshop for seam issues, displacement overlays, and details. While Hex doesn't support millions of polys like zBrush, it does a good job under 300,000 polys and it has one of the best UV unwrapping tools. I will be using blender for rigging and animating, as well as export to .x format.

Edited to add: I make texture brushes and displacement brushes for Hex using photoshop as well.

It kind of reminds me of an enemy from some PSX RPG, possibly Chrono Cross
Very Nice work

Cool! - I was just gonna suggest making it a FPSC beastie then you already thought of that.

I'm surprised nobody has made a critters pack for FPSC, like HL style headcrabs, insects, aliens, rats... stuff like that - I'm sure it would sell.

We're going down... in a spiral to the ground...

Well, I do this as a hobby with my kids. They want to make games so I bought FPSC.

I am surprised as well, I figured aliens, robots, and beasts would be very popular. I figure the rigging and animation is what deters most.

As for the Birdy, I will be improving the beak textures and doing a blood variation as I mentioned. I started using Blender on the 15 of this month and I am happy to say the rigging and animation is very easy to set up. I hope to also have a second FPI for a baby birdy AI.

Thanks, I am well underway with animation. I have made walk and run cycles, as well as an idle animation that just has the critter breathing. I may do two attack animations, one for the beak and another for the front legs. This way I can randomize the attacks to the player and adjust the damage done for each attack.

I do have a question regarding movement though. The fpi actions for movefore and back, are they relative to the rotation angle of the entity? I didn't find any moveleft or right actions is why I ask.
