Q. Is it possible to create an immobile mannikin stand that can wear any form of human (armor) clothing? Like one of the armor racks, but as a static 'creature' that can accept the full range of human armor settings (with tinting)? I think that could be pretty useful.

object type creature
SetCommandable(FALSE)
no AI scripts
EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_FREEZE_ANIMATION)


maybe -- likely to be problems with things like mouseOver tho.

Thanks, but I was thinking more of an actual clothing stand, rather than a frozen human.

[kevL]

ah :)

I guess one could give the frozen human model invisible head and limbs, then position the figure around a walkable armor rack. It might not show a proper neck hole though. Perhaps a burlap sack texture applied to the head?

I've created some model VFX that I use as static armour placeables, however only the main body of the armour shows up (chest, legs above the knees, and arms above the wrist). They're fully tintable, but each set of tints requires a separate SEF. The accessory models (shoulders, bracers, etc) can't be rotated in a model VFX, and are often facing the wrong way in their default orientation. Upside-down shoulder pads just wouldn't cut the mustard.

 

You could always introduce a fashion model NPC who walks back and forth, showing off whatever armour you've equipped on them via script. That way you can view your armour before you buy it. It might require a special 'Blue Steel' animation though.

I saw this Salamander variant project show up on the Vault:

To me they look like fairly decent, with some interesting spikey bits. I don't have a use for them personally, but I know they appear in the Baldur's Gate 2 so perhaps they could be useful for SOAR, if somebody is interested in a porting project.

A modified NWN2 yuan-ti abomination or temple guardian might be the easier option. All it'd need would be a new head, a few wavy spikes along the back, and a bit of re-skinning. Then it could use the existing yuan-ti skeleton and animations.

 

You wouldn't even need a new appearance type if you made it an armour variant of one of the existing yuan-ti models. Just drop the new model and textures into a hak file, create a blueprint, and you'd be good to go.

That is not bad, it would be cool to see a project make one look closer to the picture I linked below. It is close to they looked like in IWD.

That's a nice looking image - except for the presence of nipples on a reptilian creature!

This is D&D we are talking about here. Nipples on reptiles would definitely be far from strange in that setting!

It's so you can milk it.

That's right. Where else would the salamanders attach the leathery eggs at feeding time?

[kamal_]

There are reptiles that give birth to live young.

Anyway, [waves hands] "a wizard did it".

Did you get better?

aye.

Then she must weigh the same as this duck.

I do not see any Fomorians for NWN or NWN2. Were any ever created? I could have sworn I saw Fomorians for NWN at one time, but the vault and nexus do not seem to have them.

The problem with fomorians is that they're all supposed to look unique, each with different bodily defects. That would require several head and body models, perhaps with some different accessory options as well (you could use accessories as tumours, humps, clumps of hair, etc). That'd be the equivalent work of creating several different new creatures.

 

Their asymmetry might also make them a lot harder to rig and animate.

[FaerzressSparkles]

No creature should look exactly the same unless it is a twin that has had the exact same environmental and nutritional conditions. Even then, the chances of the exact same cellular divisions throughout development are extremely slim. One could make three variations of heads, 3 hair styles (not including shaven/bald), two-to-three bodies, and it would work quite well. It would be a lot of work for sure, but a very nice addition to our giant selection.

EvilEdison's NWN2 hill giants + tint purple = Formorians basically. Other things might be more time efficient.

They're much too pretty for fomorians.

 

They're supposed to be twisted and deformed, so nothing with a symmetrical body would be very accurate.

 

[FaerzressSparkles]

The Demonflesh Golem I converted is asymmetrical. The Ettin may be as well. One could just make a model with one leg being fatter, or have legs be the same same, give a hunchback, etc... To me, that photo looks like the legs may be identical or the right one is a bit wider. The right one seems to have more fat on the front, and a patch of torn/infected skin. There is a hump on his back as well, but other than that, seems to be be symmetrical for the most part. I think a menacing giant with such deformities would represent the species well. Texturing it with veins and uneven skin tones might help too.
