Arthropleura


yeah the max verticies for a model in carnivores is 1024, this one has 1020!

more coming soon, eg later today!

so i was working on my protoceratops model, and two models came out of the 45 minutes worth of work i put into them:

Protoceratops


Isnt it so cute??










Halfway through editing, i got this:




a little baby chasmosaurus, for purposes of herds. its got big feet and no horns, plus the original nose horn and tail

Iguanodon



heres one more model for today. i would appreciate comments. ps, all models are much smaller than they should be (and backwards) and are just .obj and .an8 files. if you want a .3ds file, i will glady supply it.

Nice models... Wow! Those are really great. You're really good at that.

Yeah, RK2 is good at this! Once skeletal animations work, these will def be tried out!

if you want to give it a try with this:

im on a modeling spree, so enjoy a basic, feathered raptor:

and a comps

Nice man, seriously, once the skeletal animations are working you will sees these guys come to life.

oops... wrong picture on the compsognathus:

Hmm, is the Compy the same size as the Raptor mesh? You may need to scale them down because Carnivores doesn't automatically scale stuff down... Unless you add the Scale0 to the _RES but we should avoid setting the Scale0 at the best of times.

all these models are mis-sized. and backwards. so i will need to fix that, but you need to do the rest

Of course, and they will star in-game as soon as the engine supports Skeletal animations or if I manage to work out that Divisor crap for the current animations.

i can make individual .objs for each animation, after all i have no social life

Well I was going to make a command prompt tool that does all the math for you aslong as the mesh still has the same amount of verticies and triangles as the original mesh. It would then fix the animations to portray the 'new' dinosaur.

sure, but thats taking too long (no offence, i know your doing your best) if all the animations are is set coorinates, couldnt i just set up a doc for you with all the coords like this:

Anim1{
Frame1{
(2,3,2) etc
}
Frame2{
fjadflkj
}
}

That's the problem, they are not just co-ordinates or the .CAR's would be almost 2 times bigger.
They use a set of short data types, which I think are 2 bytes. And a Divisor for each animation. The Game then calculates the animation co-ords from the floating point XYZ of each verticie by dividing the SHORT with the DIVISOR like so:

short(divided by the Divisor)float[x/y/z] = new co-ord

weel thats a pain

well i could try to make some animation-less objects, you can add an C1o/c2o extractor

OMG! I can't wait to be walking through tall grass and have a pack of these guys jump out at me from nowhere!
(Are these the little tiny dino's?)
Great work once again!

yeah theyre the tiny ones from jurassic park 2. maybe they could alternately be troodons. anyway, im workin on a couple more models, namely Therizinosaurus, a carnivorous and more realistic dimetrodon, and an allosaurus that looks like a real allosaurus eg:

got the allo done. looks so close to the real one!

Nice Allo, though the head seems a bit big/long. Its nearly as big as it's body.

IDK, I kinda like it! It has a "freakish" sort of look
Great Job!

here thanks for the comments, th head a little off anyways, so its fixed now. its mostly the perspective BTW. it looks great! probly my 2nd or 3rd best model

The head looks good now... The arms look too long now though. Although, I'm comparing to the walking with dinosaurs pic you posted.
