If you have success with Dimetrodon you could also have a go at Edaphosarus, you'd need to change the graphics for the head. We'd also need to list them as reptiles as well as they are therapsids, rather than dinosaurs, although 90% of the people you ask would think they were. I remember correcting my primary school teacher on that at the age of eight & he still reminds me whenever I see him, hes in his late eighties now!

Edaph was never one of my faveroutes, although I suppose I could include it just for you prof! Depends on how many people know it though... then again, not that many would know what a Segisaurus was either!

 

Great goodness, eight rotations of animations for every new animation set... this will take a loooong time to complete! :laugh:

 

Adding Edaphosaurus to the list... thought it was spelt Edaphrosaurus? Ah well, I have too many Dinosaur names to remeber these days! :)

 

Moondawg, would you mind confirming for me as to whether you'll be doing a Pteranodon longiceps or sternbergi? :)

No, you don't have to do eight sets, you need five:

 

North, North East, East, South East and South

 

When you put in your animations into APE for the NE, E and SE animations, APE will mirror those sets to give you your NW, W and SW animations. Very handy, means you don't have to do those extra sets, plus you don't have to take the time to put them in! :cheerlie:

 

And1 takes a different way of doing brand new animals by only doing the E and W animations, and using the East set for N, NE, E and SE, then putting in the West anis into South. Try downloading one of his files and taking a look.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< will be that one looks like the sternbergi :D

[DinosaurDigs]

Thanks, you do sternbergi and I'll do longiceps then. :) Makes it all the more easier on me 'cause I can use the same model twice and just reskin it for each different Dinosaur! The sternbergi variety is my all-time faveroute Pterosaur. Thanks for informing me on your choice before we both did the same one!

 

Hmm... the East and West method was useful, actually. I don't know if it would contain just TOO little for a Dinosaur though... it would be fine for the Jellyfish and Killer Penguins though! I didn't know APE had an automatic mirror effect, that saves me so much trouble! Thanks, Genki! :)

 

Some of my animals will have simple animations, such as the Pteranodons, but others such as Dilophosaurus will take much more.

Nice one! They look fantastic... may I ask though why there seems to be such a massive difference between the small black ones and the big brown ones? and why the brown ones are longiceps Pteranodons?

 

There's me off on a palentological rant again... :laugh: Nice job on the Pteranodons though, they look beutiful! Can't wait to use them in-game... I notce they're the same ones as in your sig, too!

Moondawg did you use your avatar to make the Pteranodon?

[(Professor Emeritus)Professor Paul]

I think the "black ones" are the shadows.

[Chickndaddy]

The black ones are actually the babies. If you look in the thread where Pukkie tested them she talked about jr...lol And why he said when unattended they really multiply. :)

[moondawg]

Yes the black ones are young its the only animation i could find that was small enough and looked the same as the adult i tried to recolor them to make them the same color as the adult but when i did that the game kept crashing so i stuck with the black color ...................... Yes Alicia i used my avatar to make them...
