Thanks, I'm pretty sure you'd do a better job than I ever did. I remember the one I used to wish you a happy birthday.... Eugh, that thing animated horribly! Help

@Loki: Can you try see if you can make a youtube video of the fish swim animation trick as in like how to do it? If you don't know then its fine. I'm trying to think up a good sand walker creature for ya. ^^

by **SuperLoki** Fri Nov 19, 2010 6:56 am

I've been thinking of doing the tutorial for a while now.. I might do it. There's actually 2 versions.

Also, video of the current species. I decided to make things look a bit more.. professional? Just to play around with people Razz

May still be processing...

by **Shadow** Fri Nov 19, 2010 6:59 am

How did you get that animation?

by **SuperLoki** Fri Nov 19, 2010 7:00 am

Something to do with invisible limbs. As I said, I might make a tut Razz

by **Shadow** Fri Nov 19, 2010 7:01 am

Alright then.

Ever since I downloaded the Assym Patch, I noticed that I couldn't do the invisibility glitch anymore... I might not be able to make a creature for this.

You can get some good animations by place stuff carefully on the creature.

I endlessly test every creature for animation, and if you check my sea creatures, a lot of them animate quite smoothly. I achieve this by placing stuff below the body, most of it is visible actually. The problem is, they will always appear to be swimming near the bottom of the ocean.

I keep saying this, but I wanna update my extincts (which includes my sea creatures) so they look better and animate better.

Good advice vek, i'll look into that.

by **Shardna** Sat Nov 20, 2010 4:09 am

I agree. Good advice Vek.

by **Vektrix** Sat Nov 20, 2010 4:18 am

To continue a tad, my plesiousaurs, moasaurs, tylosaurs, pliosaurs and even fish have their flippers angled downwards so that they are lower than the lowest point on their body Wink

by **Shadow** Sat Nov 20, 2010 4:19 am

Interesting vek, i will take apart one of your creatures and analyse it.

by **Kevin92** Sat Nov 20, 2010 5:13 am

i start creating some prehistoric fishes now Wink

by **Shardna** Sat Nov 20, 2010 8:09 am

Okay everyone. I'm finished making the *surprise* creation for Loki's project. It took me ages and I'm happy with the results. ^^ *Unveils the curtians*

....Do you want a crab I've been working on for an abandoned Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy adventure?

It's surprisingly well made, for my standards. ILoveItPlz

loki, i have made one with realistic movement for you. But the invisi limb shows in the PNG, how do i make sure it isn't showing?

EDITED i mastered it^^ here it is loki, it animates like a fish and should be usable to you.

Ok dokie, I'm gonna start testing now (managed to finish two videos)

Shadow, if you want I can fix that for you. With all of your permission, I may make some modifications to the creatures (with credit, of course!) which also means I can try to fix animation, glitches, and any expansion-pack related troubles Aquatic Stage Project - Testing - Page 2 76233

Aquatic Stage Project - Testing - Page 2 76233

Gonna test these now, as I have the PNGs:

Aquatic Stage Project - Testing - Page 2 500680160149

I'm also gonna take up your offer Saki and have a lookie at your sea creatures and buildings Aquatic Stage Project - Testing - Page 2 292741

I may start the environment now.

EDIT: Sorry Lum! I forgot to add, I'd love to use that creature if you'll let me, please? Smile

by **Shadow** Mon Nov 22, 2010 6:59 am

If you like my latest fish then i'll make more for you, you can do as you like with mine as you have my permission but i have fixed all glitches on this latest one.

by **Shardna** Mon Nov 22, 2010 7:00 am

You have my permission to edit my creature. Please remember to give me credit for it won't you?

by **SuperLoki** Mon Nov 22, 2010 7:00 am

Shardna- Oh of course I will. I'd kick myself if I didn't!

Shadow- Thanks ^^ I assume it's in your sporepedia? Going to have a look now.

by **Shadow** Mon Nov 22, 2010 7:01 am

Yes it is loki Smile

by **Kevin92** Mon Nov 22, 2010 7:10 am

loki, if you need coralls and so on you should check sakiara's "under the sea" adventure Wink

by **Shardna** Mon Nov 22, 2010 7:15 am

Thanks Loki! Your the best!

by **SuperLoki** Mon Nov 22, 2010 7:29 am

Thank you all for helping me! Aquatic Stage Project - Testing - Page 2 76233

Kevin- I know, that's what I'll be doing once I'm finished with these, thanks Aquatic Stage Project - Testing - Page 2 292741

Now, Shardna and Shadow. You've both made fantastic creatures, but you both also used some C&C, and the animation with the parts clipped a couple of times Aquatic Stage Project - Testing - Page 2 153487

Aquatic Stage Project - Testing - Page 2 153487

Don't worry, though. I've made some modifications (more with Shadow's) to suit the adventure. But I just want to check with you two first, since they are your creations Aquatic Stage Project - Testing - Page 2 76233

EDIT: Oh woops, I didn't realize I made Shadow's one so pink. I'll fix that.
