[Fantasy] Dragon

[tjedge1]

Assorted links will be coming when the animations are ready. (The fire Animations nearly are, just one or two more special effects.)

Planned Animations are:
Firedragon
Icedragon
Toxic Fumes Dragon

Any chance of a Lightning One? With Blue scales? I'll need one for my plans to remake the Mystara mod.

Looks great. The name "Flavor Armored" is due to the Armor plates along the tail and on the head. I tried some more plates on the legs but that did not look so good.

I like the wings!! But can you make one additional Version where the armor plates along the tail and on the head are golden and not boney? About the green touch Rabbit mentioned i have to see in in the game. Maybe a version with a bit more red touch might be good, too (ok that is simple so i will do it myself ).

For the specularity. I think, as you, that it is needed for the metallic touch. Maybe I'll try to figure out how to apply gloss maps as the specularity on the wings is not needed, but the rest needs it.

@Rabbit: Yes i have thought about transparent wings. they would fit for the flavor aqua dragons. ill have to try them but probably the do not look good as the wing is volumetric. so one might see some overlap (meaning layers with half the tranparency.) Ill make some tests with this this evening (if i finally get the breath-attack for the golden dragon right)

Announcement: New fire breath effect will be availabe today evening
I figured out how to make the fire look much more glowing (like the fire used by firaxis) yesterday evening, but as it was late i had not time to publish the result. It looks much better than the fire breath that is in at the moment.

EDIT:
@C.Roland: Please send me the skin including your nif when it is ready (or attach it to the FfH Art thread) as i have to transfer the (material-)parameters to the new nifs that are needed for the special effects. I"ll add them then to the first post. Maybe remove your download links during the thread as well as they have the old nif and there will not play any special effects or sounds with those.

Momentarili im working on some more animation/special effect sets.

Fire and Toxic Fumes (purple) are ready (note there will be a new fire version this evening)

Ice, Toxic Fumes(green) and kinf of holy/golden looking one will be ready soon.

About lightning: I have something like that in the back of my head but it will probably need some more time as lightning effects cannot be made with the same mechanic i am using for the other effects. so i will have to learn how to do such a effect first. One blu scaled dragon is available at the moment that is more aqua/Ice like. Dooing an lightning one (maybe with blue more like this) will be easy. The Skin (I'll do it) should be availabe until sunday or so.

Cool, you don't have to try and rush for me though. I won't be actually be starting the mod soon. It's a couple months away before I have more free time. Besides your doing so great now, I'd hate to put any pressure on you. Great job. And that blue shade would work for me. Thanks.

 

[C.Roland]

I will do other colors and I'll prbably do a dark blue and a purple that may fit for a lightning dragon.

@Chalid : I'll post the skin in the FFH forum when it will be ready !

Unfortunateley i there is still some work (mostly with the secondary ranged attacks) for the animations but i hope to be able to finally release the five above mentioned animation sets tomorrow.

Here is a preview of the new firebreath in comparison to the old one:

Really nice !

 

[Ploeperpengel]

Yeah! almost smell the burnt flesh. Well, could be the hot dog stall outside...
Good job!

 

[tjedge1]

That is a very big improvement. "Did the fire look at you?" It sure is looking at me.

So I was just playing the new version of ffh2 and sent a couple of hunters to take a small barbarian city.
I nearly craped myself when I saw that red dragon!

It looks even better in the game, smoke billowing from its nostrels.

BEST. UNIT. EVER.

Quote worthy of a signature.

Do you think it would fit in mine, Rabbit?

 

[Rabbit, White]

That's what I was thinking, yes.
