A New Creature?

Post » Mon Mar 14, 2011 8:56 pm

I know nothing of rigging or animation. This is rather a long shot but worth a try, is it possible and if so would someone please animate this http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n99/Shezrie/AnubisGuard.jpg. It exists as a static by MJY at the moment.

So, not sure if even possible or would take too much effort........

First glance suggests it would rig to the Minotaur's skeleton and thus use its existing animations. Does it need to do any animations that the Minotaur doesn't have? The image shows a spear, and no existing oblivion spear animations exist, so is another weapon possible?

The spear could be removed and the basic minotaur animation would be perfect for it.

It would be amazing to have this creature exclusively for Pell's Gate, give people quite a shock to stumble across it. :shocking: It is all tied into the Pell's Gate Gallery Egyptian Exhibit.

Do you know that there's also an http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19843? With that, you could create an NPC that looks like Anbuis, and you could turn him into stone with the effect that is also applied to the Bruma statue.
You'd need to ask the author for permission, but he says that he'll probably say yes, so it might be a good alternative. There should even be some real Khajiit legs around somewhere, I know I've seen them. :huh:

PM me where the Anubis mesh can be found and I'll give it a try. Most of that model is fortunately in the resting position where it will match the skeleton. It's just the arm with the spear that may need to be removed and a clone of the opposite one put in its place. Then Blender's bone weight copy script should copy the rigging over from the Minotaur.

There may be gotcha's that will stop it working, but I don't know until I try it.

i think a xivilai would probably be more fitting for that body type, also theres probably enough there to hack apart and build a set of armor from and make a dremora-like race
