question for chalid about the dragon modle

[jamie006]

Just a question about the dragon modle. Is it going to be useable in any mod or just the ffh??? If it is useable in anymod would you be able to do it in 3 colours. Red black and blue. (blue being most important) Its for the eragon mod and there are 3 dragons.; One blue one red and one black. Would it be possible to do 3 modles in diffrent colours?????

thx

So far everything Chalid has made will be available elsewhere. This is the CFC afterall.

I can't wait to see them skinned a variety of colors.

Not sure for FfH, but once you get the dds anyone can skin them.

yea i would but im not verygood...

Ah nearly missed this one. Just found it at the bottom of the forum. PM would have been easier through.

Yes it will be available for everyone here at the forum.

The Dragon will come in three variations (C.Roland has agreed to do the skins so you can be sure the Skins at least will be awesome) a Gold one, a Black one and a Red one. They all will share the same basic body but will have different additions like horns, armor plates and those things. Unfortunaley it will take some more time still till that monster is completed as animating it is quite time intensive.

Oh and you will have to make sure you do not very few of them on the screen at any given time....

Here is a snapshot of the basic body mesh (not skinned) during IdleA animation.

Edit: Recoloring one of the Dragons to blue will most probably be not be that hard to accomplish (especially Gold -> Light blue should be easily doable).

lol stupid question

How many polies is that bad boy?

 

[Chalid]

At the moment? 2922 Polys but the horns and armor plates and so on will be created after the animations are done, so expect the completed model to be 4-5k Polys.
Its not to bad if there are only two or three of them on the screen (actually one group of praetorians has 3600 Polys) but you nevertheless will not want to use whole dragon armies.
