WIP generic creatures

[glasz]

A new thread to collect random creatures not related to a specific game or mode.

I'll start with the generic deer's first walk loop :

And a couple repos to put them in

https://github.com/MetaTerasology/AmbienceFauna - raw models
https://github.com/Terasology/AmbienceFauna - game files

Nice to see you back at modeling, @glasz

Some very small suggestion: Maybe add one more vertex at the hind leg? This one sharp edge/corner popping up during the walk cycle kind of bothers me - but then it could only be me

 

[glasz]

@Skaldarnar the flat edge on top you mean?

added some idle anims :

was to lazy to try to remember how to use git so put them there :

Hi, very nice, so many animations already

I worked on preparing a module that combines your simple model and my very basic AI which makes it walk around randomly.

I got it somewhat working by editing the model and animations manually so that the head is no longer a root bone. It's now properly displaying the model but the head is broken.
That what it looks currently:

I would also suggest that we make the model about 30-40% larger so that it is clear that it doesn't fit through 1 block high holes.

 

[Cervator]

Isn't model size something we should be able to designate in the prefab? So we can have size variants and even grow/shrink stuff in-game

some in game footage :

 

[SuperSnark]

Very nice @glasz! Now you can start making chogs, mibbles, and cutters.

I just stumbeld upon the creatures folder in TeraMisc: it might contains some valuable models for you guys. It even contains a deer, too
