FORMERLY A MODEL REQUESTING SERVICE

All requests made up to this point will be fulfilled.
After that, new requests will be considered "suggestions".

Hello Pyros,

Since you asked :) I get the occasional request for adding a unicorn and/or pegasus mod... I'm decent with programming and could put together the requisite code if you were interested in mucking in on the modelling and animation side for a voxellish-but-smooth animal such....

Requirements would be:

* animation sequence for trotting
* animation sequence for gallopping
* animation sequence or single frame for standing
* has a horn and/or wings

Really that's all... the rest I could do to bring it to life :-)

If you can somehow match the horse in mobs_more_animals the textures could be re-used, but that's not a requirement - outputting a texture map/unwrap for others to use as a reference would be enough.


What would you be looking for in return, what license would you intend to use?

I personally know quite a large amount of kiddos that would be very happy about that mod!

I would like to request a wizard type character. Just based on the default player model and adding the pointy wizard hat and a beard.

Can requesters specify a license? If so, what licenses are you comfortable with? Otherwise, what license will they be under?

Ok! Thanks for the request :)
Sorry for not being online for a while; I'll work on the models and they should be ready this Sunday.
Just to make sure I got it right:

OK. About the voxellish/smooth request, mobs_more_animals should be helpful as a reference.

The license will be up to you, and in return you could do something small like a comment in the code listing my username or something like that. Up to you.

Sorry about seeing the comments & requests kind of late.

Thank you,
Pyros

Now for the bad news...

Sorry, BrandonReese.

For religious reasons I would prefer not to make a wizard model.
However, there are Blender tutorials and other Blender users here on the forums.

If you have something else to request, please let me know.

Hi Pyros

Thanks for responding! For licenses, can I suggest you release it under CC-BY-SA under your own name? And I'll include that statement in any release I make for it.

Pity to hear about BrandonReese's request - I would have thought fictional beings in a game would have not been an issue (as opposed to condoning specific portrayals and storylines).... I was also about to ask about some demonic being to make into a fightable boss-like monster.... but I would guess on principle you would prefer to rule that out?

The pegasus is basically done.
Just animation left, but first I want to make sure this is what you want:

And rearing: (whether you want that in the animation or not)

As for the UV maps fitting mobs_more_animals, that would require precise fitting, and it would be much easier to create a new one, if textures aren't too much trouble... I will PM the UV map soon and the model once I recieve confirmation that this is what you want, and animate it.
Please tell me if:
You want it more voxelly
You want it smoother
You have special requests about animation
You don't like it
You think it looks like a dog with wings (same here!)
You complain about my UV map choice
and anything else...

Correct. Sorry.
Pyros goes to edit the model request policy in his signature

Once again, sorry about delays, ones like these shouldn't happen too often.
(to everyone) Reaffirming: Normally I only log on on weekends.

Fantastic - thanks. Sent PM with notes. Maybe a github repo soon to finalize/facilitate collaboration? Or other platform/tool of your choosing?

Fine to stick to week-ends-only activity.

I had a request but then again I can always do it myself..

But anyway I don't know if you would do it through.. But that is.. A Player wearing/posed in a Straitjacket. Yes I'm Mental ill. Got a problem with that? XD JK. But I'm really Mental ill amd Think straitjackets are cool to wear now.

Edit: Witch/Wizard Hat player. Hm I kind made one before for my Unfinished (and always will) Harry Potter subgame.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

I have decided that my speed of fulfilling requests is not fast enough to run this kind of service.
From now on, this will be a collection of models free to download and use.
I will still finish requests made up to this point. After this, new requests will be considered "suggestions"
If you have ideas, objections, suggestions, or comments please tell me.

Request Status:
taikedz: almost done, animation is very difficult to make it look natural :(
Alt. Tester: yes, I could do that quite easily.

Pyros

All good Pyros. Thanks for the update :-)
