There is a weapon scaling factor in the appearances 2da. Apparently needs to be increased for the slaad.

Just tried that, but it didn't change anything. I compared as well to an ogre (for whom the size of weapons is supposed to be 50% larger), and noticed that even for a stock creature a size 1 club is exactly as big as a size 1.50 club. Unless it's changed only in game and not in the toolset?

 

Edit: same as VFX, the change of size of the weapons will only appear in game.

The green slaad now has a the dying animations for unarmed, one-handed weapon and one-handed weapon + shield combat. Progressing slowly, but it's taking shape.

I imagine that octopus will be a nightmare to animate.

I finally restarted working on this creature, and I have to say I'm quite happy with the result: looking at a live octopus makes the animation look more natural!

Idle and Walk are close to being done (just a few things to fix, like some accelerations or wrong rotations between frames, but that's really easy to solve). Run is therefore done too.

Attack and Death may be more difficult, we'll see.

OMG! When this work is done i'm so going to have to add the Elemental Plane of Water to our server! And be damned the pain its going to be.

 

The octopus is progressing nicely, but in the meantime I added a jellyfish:

 

 

 

As you can hopefully see, it's animated and almost invisible (but I made it tintable, and the semi-transparent effect can be removed).

 

I'm not aware of jellyfish being aggressive, so I only made the idle and swimming/swimming fast animations (the idea is that the tentacles are poisonous, so if any creature comes too close it'll suffer the effects, but there won't be any attack).

I am not sure which program you are using to animate, but here is neat little plugin that might help with the octopus

Thanks for the information! I see the plugin is for 3ds max, which I use, so that should work. I'll keep you posted.

 

Edit:

Installation of the script was not so easy (made for 3ds max 2008 and 2009, whereas I'm using 3ds max 8 [2005]), but I finally got it working. Now I need to understand what all the parameters do.

I had time to make some tests though, and I must say it's a really nice addition. Thanks again for the tip.

I'd like to be

under the sea

in an octopuses garden

in the shade...

the great white shark is available on the new vault and nexus.

The tiger shark is not yet released, but it will soon be:

That's the first on the left. I put RWS's mako and hammer shark and my great white to show the differences.

I'm going to have these swimming round my Sahuagin city

The tiger shark is now available on the new vault.

Note that it requires the great white shark package (they share the same skeleton and animations).

[4760]

I've fooled around with using the RWS sharks as mounts:

 

I've been wondering: does the rider move with the steed?

[rjshae]

An Orca would perhaps make a more suitable mount, size-wise.

[Dann-J]

I've been wondering: does the rider move with the steed?

 

The shark is a visual effect. There's really only the rider there.

Most of the animations are now done. I now need to watch them in game and see how they look.

Mmm, a tossed green slaad with balsamic vinegar dressing and goat cheese. That'll nicely complement the giant crab cakes. Wash it down with a nice Chianti.
