Create A New Creature

Post by **rbroab** » Tue May 21, 2013 10:26 pm

I've been working on companions for a while. I think most of you know that already. I work on companions that haven't been made before. Much like the team of TTW, I don't release it unless it functions. Meaning they have dialog and a companion wheel and act as each companion should.

Now I'm working on a few new ones, one is already an NPC creature in the game so that is no issue. But I'm also trying to work on a new companion, one that exists as an object in the game, but doesn't move or animate in anyway that I know of.

If anyone here as experience creating creatures or animating, help would be appreciated. And of course, just like my other mod, credit is always heavily given.

Making new creatures from ground up and animate them is a lot of work. If there is any way to base them on existing ones I would strongly recommend to go that route. Which doesn't mean that they don't have to be look different btw.. My Iguanas for example are based on the Molerats animations and skeleton.

My plan was to create functioning Walking Eye robots from OWB and the Wild Wasteland trait. Then use the Chinese spider drones as their skeleton. But I'm not sure where to begin or if its possible.

Making a mesh and rigging it and uv mapping it... I don't know how... and I don't think most here do. Sesom might, from his iguana mod.

Awesome, I'll have to contact the mod author about that.
