Lapis' Works

[LapisLazuli77]

Alriiiiiiight I felt like finally dipping my toes in here.

I already made a Brachiosaurus mod a few days ago but the file is still pending approval.

Muahaha yess join uss. Looks like you did a great job! What was your process for making the sprites if you don't mind me asking?

[LapisLazuli77]

The Brachiosaurus model is from Alvin Abreu's Jurassic World Pack. It's a lucky thing that the Brachiosaurus' model is in .bfb format and not .nif, because as detailed in the Automatic Sprite Rendering thread I'm having a problem of being able to have both the NIF import addon and the BFB/BF import addon in one version.

Overall I just tried to follow Hendrix's tutorial as closely as possible. It probably wasn't a smart decision to make a gigantic dinosaur as my first ever mod but eh.

[Goosifer]

Try Blender 2.8 and see if that helps.

 

BFB import by Hendrix has a 2.8 branch you can try: https://github.com/HENDRIX-ZT2/bfb-blender/tree/blender2.80

 

The latest Niftools plugin should work with Blender 2.8: https://github.com/niftools/blender_niftools_addon/releases/tag/v0.1.1

Your brachiosaurus is beautiful!

I think I'm already getting used to this all things considered, though it might take some time until my next one.

Animation is very fluid. Great work!

Your texture looks bright... I had that issue with my "oily cats" the first time I released them... Just activate the "Shadeless" option in texture tab if you want it to look more colorful

[Truly_happy]

I actually don't like the shadeless look. I think that it could be a little less shiny, but it still needs shading.

Alright, I lied when I said the next release would wait...

...because I ended up finishing something completely different WHEEEEEEEE

Inspired by Borsato's Raptor Patch, in which Velociraptor gets new sprites and the old sprites are repurposed for Deinonychus, I made a Tuna Patch, which gives the bluefin tuna new sprites and the old ones are repurposed for an albacore tuna!

Disclaimer: Rotations and stuff is still a bit "jank", i.e. the submerged anims are all shifted downwards. I'll try to fix it when I have more time.

Albacore and bluefin are both compatible with each other.

 

I'm releasing all these files in my signature already and I'll drop it here too why not.
