               Perhaps in the future. I can't believe I didn't know you could add wings to non-player models. I would have had half-dragons and fey-ri creature models done a long time ago.

               I'm still flailing away, but work on my bigger entry this month seems to be going at a snail's pace.

               I see the Pun Police was able to finally snail down two notorious punsters on these boards.

Only the most invertebrate punster could make such a hard shell. I guess we're all a little nautilus...

               Trust you to winkle out all those limp(et) puns. I bet some people would just love you to clam up. Still, as long as you can distinguish your (letter sounds like sea) o c kles (danged nanny software) from your muscles...

Just a thought but could someone make an on-topic comment... Please!

Sure.

So, guess who just spend several hours last night animating a certain snail model, only to discover at the end that he'd forgotten to ResetXForm on 4 parts, so they ended up in the wrong positions in at least 1/3 of the animations?

Instant headache.  I'll be reanimating the entire thing tomorrow night...I ain't touching gmax today.

Flumph might not come until after June! It's on-topic bad news! Flumph of course takes a while (and I really want it to look good!) and I am already juggling a lot of other things. So things may be slow in that department! No pix, yet!

As for you ... YOU POOR DWAGON! Reset XForm is the most important thing EVAR, it's right there in the modeling bible, verse 16.


Edit:
I need to stop saying I am making something, because when it comes slow, I feel bad!

I reset the xform all the time on things.  Just forgot that I'd rotated and repositioned the flail stalks before I started animating. *sigh*

Oh, well.  A few hours working at the treadmill desk tonight will give me the time to redo all the animations.  I've done them all once, so a 2nd time should go a little faster (the walk and run animations are actually the hardest, to get a convincing "ripple" movement).  And yes, it is surprisingly easy to work with gmax while walking 3 mph. '>

The D&D cartoon cloak prefab will be very easy, and the quarterstaff (model and prefab) will be easy as well.  I've already got a staff model from my Reforged project I can retexture, and I'll be whipping up a small misc. inventory icon and prefab stuff so a wielder can resize it via unique power (to save on inventory space & weight carried when it's not wielded).

               The Flail Snail is done (both model work and animation).



Now to get started on the D&D cartoon items.

Oh, and since the model work was already done, I did a little resize and recolor.  Not really old school, but it does rely on the flail snail as a supermodel for the animations, so I'm tossing it in with this month's stuff...

<oooh! look, boss! rainbow snails! from the bay of stones!>
Hmmm? Oh, yes. Very pretty.
<rainbow snails! rainbow snails! rainbow snails!>
Yes, yes, yes.
<get'em! get me some rainbow snails, boss! get'em get'em get'em!>

Nono no! Was just about to do that!
