Goosifer's [Normal] Projects

[Goosifer]

I hope it's okay to keep a separate topic for my normal ZT1 projects. I'm still working on my API, but my last final was yesterday so I am taking a small break from coding while I mentally recover lol. (here is a visual aid to help you understand what I looked like yesterday). I've been sharing the latest updates with Jay and Fern so I've made a bit of progress since my last public post (I got the game loop and an in-game command console kinda working!...woo! Anyone?)

 

Now that I'm on break, I want to learn how to make proper mods because it will help make my API better knowing more about the game files. I used to design scenery objects for a ZT2 design team named Artifex, but that was 15 years ago so I am wayyyy out-of-practice with Blender. Let's hope this goes well.

 

This is my first try at an animal in either game. Can anyone guess what animal I am trying to make? :)

 

    

 

(I just realized that the legs aren't level with the ground...ahhh)

But don't foxes? dig holes so you are just giving it a head start.

*angrily reaches for the star button*

 

Well done. ?

[pukkie]

is that a bat eared fox?

Or a fennex?

[Goosifer]

Yeahh, a fennec fox!

 

 

Look at their adowable ears.

 

Here's my awful attempt at painting it with a photo stencil:

 

 

I'm going to try handpainting it instead so that it blends with the game artstyle better.

[pukkie]

Perhaps when you finised it you could consider a bat eared fox

The ears are quite similar but the size of the fox itself looks larger to me

 

 

[Goosifer]

Woahh, that fox looks SO cool! ? I had zero idea others similar to the Fennec existed. Absolutely, if this first one turns out alright I will 100% make that one next. 
 

Yeah the shape of it looks slightly different. larger hind legs and the body arches a bit more. I think it would be fun to model, thank you pukkie!

[(Designer)Z.Z.]

That looks cool!

[Goosifer]

Completely redone the model. Wasn't happy with the topology on the old one...plus old one was missing eye sockets, visible mouth, and nose. New one still needs some work though. Kind of learning as I go.
