Although it is tempting to think up of new exciting beasts to model and import, as a builder/DM/player I have three requests regarding animals:

1) Make existing models more dynamic (more emote-wand friendly with more moves than roar/play dead)

2) Make better models of animals that have already been done (elephant (Mammoth?), hoppi, dolphin, whale, camel, cats, chickens, ducks, geese, swans, pigs, goats, sheep, flamingoes, rabbits, ostriches, kangaroos - just to name a few).

3) for birds, adjust the 'flight height' of existing bird models so that you will now have 'Seagull - flying high' as well as the current seagull 'flying low').


Other random suggestions: hedgehogs, porcupines, lemurs, meercats, seals, 'swimming penguins' (for underwater areas), giant butterflies, peacocks, ****rels (to supplement the hen-looking chicken model), pheasants, koalas and kiwies).

Like the giant butterfly suggestion.

Swimming penguins have been done. CCC November 2011: Underwater Stuff.

I'm going to do a bunch of little cute animals. Because NWN doesn't have enough cuteness. Aside from my vast array of Hello Kitty-themed spells. But those don't count.

If I'm allowed I might rip some of the familiars out of my haks, fix them up a bit and post those up too. Not sure if the vault already has bunnies and stuff. :x

Thank you Rubies! Some regular critters would liven up woodland settings!

Other thoughts I have had:

Normal sized rats

Small cats that look like house cats and not just a resized big-cats (small cats walk with their head up, big cats with their heads low and forward)

Small snakes (of the critter variety, that will act like snakes and flee, not attack, on sight)

Goats (regular farm-sized and 'Tanngrisnir & Tanngiost'-sized)

Stork/egrett/cranes/flamingo/etc... at least one if not a variety of long legged birds, both regular large versions would be fun

Mountable and pack animals...

[NWN_baba yaga]

i already did 2 normal sized rats from the lowpoly mouse model someone did a few years ago. I can submit them as a "bonus" because they arent completely my own work...

Ooh! Could you do a Teddy Bear guardian?! Carcerian put up this pic and I *want* that cute little bundle of fluffy defense =)

Very cool bird.

Thx:)   Zoidberg thinks also a nice portrait why not?

Nicely done!

[OldTimeRadio]

Very nicely done, Carcerian!  I love peacocks.  Grew up around them.  Seriously mean and dangerous birds (especially the males) but very beautiful.

BTW, did somebody mention deer? 



Anims based on BioWare deer model.  Skin mesh and texture from RigsArena.  Time spent on rigging is about four and a half hours so far.  This one was extremely difficult and will probably blow up on me again before I'm done.  Model size is just 111k, texture is 256x256.  If there are any texture artists who would like to take a crack at reskins, the base texture is on the link to RigsArena.  I only shrank it down to 256x256.

[Carcerian]

Very nice!

(lol I hear peacocks every morning, also seriously loud )

Found a nice elephant skin and tusks for anyone who wants





The mesh is a bit high in the poly area tho (40k vs hydromancers elephant of 883 polys)

[henesua]

Very nice deer!

The speckled ones are the young though (out here anyway). Please include one without horns as well as one with. Could be otherwise identical.

[Carcerian]

Speaking of Hydromancer, a few Velociraptor Heads

OTR - constructive feedback: I second the request for a horn-free version; also its hind quarters are a bit wide compared to the rest. However - otherwise it looks brilliant! A definite improvement on what was there.

Deer is such a 'staple' spawn on most mods/PWs it would be great to finally have a decent looking one.

Spotted deer are native to India and look almost exactly like what OTR did.

Carcerian: the peacocks look good too.

"Fully-Rigged peacock" by MotionCow



For the bargian price of only $149.00 its all yours


Or If you prefer one that works in real life (for all you steampunk-clockwork-lovers)

"The Magnificent peacock Automataon"

This truly astounding automaton depicts a life-sized peacock with a fanned-out tail spanning over 7 feet.

From the auction listing:

The peacock begins its grand performance in the tail-down position, regally he turns his head and body separately from side-to-side. then he proudly raises his elegant tail plumage and fans his tail out for the fullest effect. The bird then turns side-to-side again, such that all can appreciate his beauty. At the conclusion, he lowers his tail back down in a graceful and realistic manner. All the while, music plays.

The maker is unknown and no other examples of this model are known to exist! The size, age, condition, superb construction, and uniqueness set the estimated value of this automaton between $50,000 and $75,000 USD..

That one might cost a tad more

Google images "Automaton peacock" search also brought up the recently dicovered chimera "peacock Mantis Shrimp"

Wow, nice links! Amazing stuff.:tu: In the article though, I never saw any reason why they say there may be 750,000 new species. Is it just to make it a nice even (Dr. Evil) 1 MILLION species!? ... Or is it just a guess? Not that I necessarily agree or disagree, just wondering.

(peacock Mantis Shrimp? Seriously? freakiest thing I've ever seen. Love it!)

A rather colorfull little fella

That elephant may an option for me now with such a good reference. Thanks carcerian:)

And great looking peacocks and deer;)

And about the unfolding tail which is possible carcerian. You can sent me your modelfile and i rig it with a pause animation for you to see how its been done.

Will do

peacock source model was the walking white parrot from Birds, modded from 1.69 seagulls. (c_a_chicken based)

Awh, I was about to add my phoenix to the list of submissions.

And I'm totally making a teddy bear guardian based on the teddy I've had since I was a baby (and the same teddy who's keeping me company at the moment)!

PS: That deer is one of the cutest things I've ever seen!
