I'll finish it in march because i have exams soon, a skilled guy @gamingforums will skin it while im on exams so most probably there won't be any problem to finish it, hope you like it

You have to select the mesh, then push the mirror button and choose reference in the mirror window. Nice to see you around

LightNinja · 01-07-2007, 06:12 PM

well, i haven't done that tutorial, and i've never used meshsmooth on my models, i'd recomend you www.poopinmymouth.com video tutorials, and also yep, remove your posts later please and we'll discuss it at JA Modelling forum.

Id like to try to make flying NPC for your Hot Dragon

may I when ready to playing game ?

also I hope you make flame come from Dragon's mouth

Pahricida · 01-08-2007, 08:07 PM

nice looking!
... plus for everyone still browsing these forums which I guess is just a handfull of modders it's good to see they're not the only ones with output.

The Mapping and modelling are completely finished, just waiting for Tobe to skin it, and in march i'll start animating it, also i'll have coding help from Tinny to make this dragon fly. I hope you like it

Nice work. Inspired by Eragon ?

LightNinja · 01-17-2007, 05:38 PM

Hahah not really, I think... I just had to do a dragon model at least once in my life. A stupid reason maybe, but enough to do it

Sith Dagger · 01-19-2007, 12:46 PM

Awesome, truly Awesome

Buffy · 01-28-2007, 06:08 AM

I hope coming soon

LightNinja · 01-28-2007, 07:43 PM

Its skinned, an awesome skin btw. When i have the skin i'll post an screenshot over here. Then when i'm done with the exams by the 19th feb i'll start animating it.

LightNinja · 01-29-2007, 04:52 PM

Here are some shots of the dragon skinned, i dont have the skin yet, but once i have it i'll post bigger shots:

Sith Dagger · 01-29-2007, 05:10 PM

LightNinja · 01-30-2007, 11:08 AM

Sweet!

How about smoke puffing from the nostrils every so often?

Cuillere · 02-18-2007, 08:07 AM

Cool dragon my friend ! What's your plan now ?

Johnpp · 02-22-2007, 02:45 AM

Helloo??? when is the expected release date? I love the look of this thing! It will be a nice feature to Trinity TC if you would allow it.

Thrawn42689 · 02-25-2007, 04:28 AM

Yo LN! Been a while man, you've gotten tons better at modelling

Dragon looks nice, did you know the raptor got ported to the HL2 engine and got really popular for a while in that "Garry's Mod?" I had to bust skulls until they gave all the proper credits

Pahricida · 02-25-2007, 10:10 AM

They've ported much stuff for Garry's mod including Haps models and my weapons. :/

Johnpp · 02-25-2007, 09:03 PM

Why is nothing being done about it? Did they give Fake Names or Email adress's?

LightNinja · 02-26-2007, 02:30 PM

Hey Thrawn nice to see you

, thanks btw. Yep you told me it by msn and i saw some screenshots of the raptor ingame, it's good to know that you finally got the propper credits. Damn it I'm sorry to hear that Pahricida I hope those people don't put the dragon in HL2, once Its done without asking permission.
@Culliere, I'm just finishing a barbarian model and a knight model for a medieval mod for JKA and then I'll start animating the dragon which will be really really hard... btw.. do you still want to animate the juggernaught?? =P

Cuillere · 02-26-2007, 09:22 PM

Send me a Tutorial "how Cuillere can put his stuff in JK with XSI because he sux in animation and rigging" and i can make anything you want

(I already have the plugins for maya to XSI)

Neo dark age is the medieval mod for JKA ?

I see the models on filefront, and that really cool mod

Can't wait to beat your dragon

LightNinja · 02-28-2007, 01:26 PM

Lol man i'm too bussy to make a tutorial on animating plus i dont have xsi mod tool so i don't know how to use it, you should ask minilogoguy who seems to know how to animate things in xsi mod tool, he may teach you. Anyway I have the juggernaut half weighted i believe, i don't know why i stopped on animating it, probably because i left modelling for a long time i can finish it since its only one animation (moving wheels) but i'd send you the .glm with the animations and you'd have to put it ingame and all that annoying work, you decide.

And yep, thats the mod

.

Sith Dagger · 05-01-2007, 06:46 PM

Any news on animating, etc?

Johnpp · 05-03-2007, 02:53 AM

Yeah, it looks great. This will be realesed in the Dark Ages mod, right?

LightNinja · 05-04-2007, 07:32 AM

Yep it is for Dark Ages mod. Theres no news on animating, since i've done 2 models for the mod (warrior and barbarian) and this month im gonna have to study for june exams, so i think i'll animate it in summer, i won't leave it unanimated.
