"Fully-Rigged peacock" by MotionCow

For the bargian price of only $149.00 its all yours '>

                  
      Or If you prefer one that works in real life (for all you steampunk-clockwork-lovers)

This truly astounding automaton depicts a life-sized peacock with a fanned-out tail spanning over 7 feet.

From the auction listing:

The peacock begins its grand performance in the tail-down position, regally he turns his head and body separately from side-to-side. then he proudly raises his elegant tail plumage and fans his tail out for the fullest effect. The bird then turns side-to-side again, such that all can appreciate his beauty. At the conclusion, he lowers his tail back down in a graceful and realistic manner. All the while, music plays.

The maker is unknown and no other examples of this model are known to exist! The size, age, condition, superb construction, and uniqueness set the estimated value of this automaton between $50,000 and $75,000 USD..

That one might cost a tad more '>
      

Wow...

*can't wait to have the time to learn to do 3D stuff like this*

               Started a new project area and uploaded a bunch of free 3d mdls and textures for various types of animals.

Hey! Turtle... dragon... Maybe Greco can finally get his dragon turtle! ;-)

Dragonfly... have to see what Cestus can do with that :-)

Bunnies! Rubies! =)

Very nicely done, Carcerian!  I love peacocks.  Grew up around them.  Seriously mean and dangerous birds (especially the males) but very beautiful.

BTW, did somebody mention deer? 

Anims based on BioWare deer model.  Skin mesh and texture from RigsArena.  Time spent on rigging is about four and a half hours so far.  This one was extremely difficult and will probably blow up on me again before I'm done.  Model size is just 111k, texture is 256x256.  If there are any texture artists who would like to take a crack at reskins, the base texture is on the link to RigsArena.  I only shrank it down to 256x256.

Luscious reskin.  BioWare kind of funbled the run anim on the deer though.  It's hindquarters kick up way too much.  Deer are light on their feet, BioWare's deer...not so much.  The walk anim looks good though.  That's not a critique of your work, that reskin is simply amazing!

               that deer model is awesome... a few reskins of that to give us a mule deer, and a variant without antlers for a proper doe would rock!  Always hated the bio-bland one.. also need a variant to replace the white stag model!

The peackocks will make a great add too! Not sure where, but I'll find a spot!

Rolo... I actually don't even need the dragon turtle.. I just wanted the statue of it :-P  Doesn't need anims! the PW/campaign I run uses the FR setting. Starter "Good" city is Loudwater, which has a canon bank called the Watchful Turtle, named after the statue of a dragon turtle that's supposed to be nearby... but I currently lack said statue '>

               <firing off...>

Hmmm...

The Watchful Turtle: The Watchful Turtle rents guarded storage space. The Loudwater bridge next door has fanciful, snarling carved stone heads resembling dragon turtles that stare at the warehouses, giving the place its name. The proprietor, Agrath Dundai, is full of tales about Loudwater and the lands around.

Canon or cannon?

Stone, then... I'll see what Cestus can do ;-)

I will be sending my Gorilla's , 2 normal versions (mean face, normal face) and 1 armored (weapon and shield wieldable one)

as for the Wasps I have on Arbor Falls, I cannot take credit for that, that is an old CODI model I received from BatintheHat waaaaay back that wasnt finished, I merely cloned some of its animations to finish it out as a usable game model. But I will upload that as well with credits to CODI for the model/animation

[Legacy_gutwrench66kg]

               Animentals look great!!

a few other random ideas for the month...  Animal placeables?

• we have fish.. maybe ones that jump out of the water to indicate a fishing spot?
• There's already a birdcage model, maybe a variant with birds inside?

For hunters/rangers/butchers/tanners/cooks

• taxidermy animals/mounted animal heads
• Skinned fur placeables,  (full pelts for various creatures.. e.g. buffalo robes)
• MGskaggs made a number of  banquet placeables, various animals on cooking spits.. maybe some similar remakes?
• While playing on Age of Conan, I came across a half-eaten elk placeable that had a wolf encounter that was preoccupied eating it while I was sneaking past them... maybe a few partially eaten animal corpses?

A Luecrotta and a tressym would both be welcome as well!
