               I have been working on some  NWN Ehanced version 2 unreleased content that I will eventually be publishing to the vault. I have posted some pictures in my creature picture album for anyone interest to see what will become available.

Jenna WSI, I have taken a quick look in your PW world and found some interesting files that I want you to take a look at. I created a non-dynamic NPC from some of your content that if you want you can PM me here on the forums and I will send you what I have done. If some adjustments need to be made I can can also accomidate you on that.

               Welcome back, Cervantes! I am looking at your stuff right now and it looks great! The bear especially caught my attention.

               Looking really good! Will it be possible to get clothing/body part items for the humanoids here. Like skin and hair of the yuanti and the clothing from the human?.... to use on a pc?

Thank you Jax, It's good to be back.  I have finished several of the bears in this fashion and am contemplating doing several of the bears in the CEP.

Thank you for the compliment, I am sure it could be done but I don't normally break models into parts for dynamic models acually I normallly do the opposite. The general reason is I have not even tried doing plt's and I don't have a plug-in for my texture creating program. Besides I am slow modeler, and to make a good dynamic model takes alot more time.

The werebear  I want to use was created by pstemarie for NWN Enhanced version 2 and I have up to this point been unable to talk to him about using it hopefully I can get ahold of him soon. LOW has already said before that I was allowed to use and modifiy any of his stuff so expect alot of that to show up.

I am on good terms with the members of Project Q and they have used stuff from enhanced that I worked on, it was in one of the updates see there credits. They are always welcome to use anything that I work but a big reason some is not included is that parts where used from NWN2 and that is against a policy they have established. See pstemarie monster mash hak which contains Enhanced's bugbears and orcs.

Keep Checking back as more pics will be added as drudge on.

               Cervantes feel free to release anything I created for NwnE. It'll be good to get that stuff out and about.

               Those files you found in our mod were used from vault releases, I don't have any ownership on them... feel free to repost it to the vault.

Henesua this is my first dry run of my new werebear. Pstemarie created the model I textured it please let me know if it's a like or dislike. All opinions are welcome.

There are still plenty of creatures in the pipe to come.

                Cervantes, I think that is a good start. It has a similar form to the wereboar in Q that I like. I assume that it is about the size of that wereboar, perhaps a little bigger which I think would be great.

Following are a couple criticisms which I hope you find to be constructive:
  • I do not like the exposed bone/horn texture on the bear. I don't think it fits especially not on the feet which now look more like hooves. I think feet textured in a similar to the were wolf (in Q) is more appropriate.
  • I think it needs to distinguish itself from the wereboar with a heavier form. I've always liked the look of this mini.'Image
[edit- forgot how to post an image in BBCode. had to google it]

               I'm not as fond of the v2.0 release, but the v1.0 release of Nalfein's werebear located here:  

http://nwvault.ign.c...s.Detail&id=376

is pretty nice.  Could use a higher resolution texture.

               Good constructive critiques I will work this puppy over and see if I can come up with a newer version that fits the bill a little better. I also thought the red eyes might have been a bad choice as well,  I believe werebears are actually chaotic good and a different color might be in order as well. Thanks

I've seen those werebears that are reskins of the grey render. I don't like them. The proportions and stance of the beast are wrong. A werebear really should be almost pear shaped rather than apple shaped. These guys are too top heavy.

Eyes in a single bright colour, be it red, green or yellow, always look lifeless to me. More like a light emitting diode than an eye. Even evil monsters with glowing red eyes should have pupils.
But I guess that's just my opinion, because there are so many custom made monsters that have those eyes.
