O.O






If a picture is worth a thousand words, and a video is worth a thousand pictures, then...


...THERE AREN'T ENOUGH WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS, NOR ENOUGH PICTURES, AND EVEN VIDEOS BARELY CUT IT

[emd]

It looks very interesting! Good job!
Would you mind adding me as a friend in Steam (I have the same name as here)? I'd like to talk with you about this

[Clicker95]

I have very little time, and I almost did not appear in Steam.
And my English is horrible :c
But we can discuss the mod here.

P.S. A new kind of specular-texture c:

Oooooooooh...

...shiny...

[rob55rod]

Okay, let's see...

...I want to contribute to this, but I'm a terrible modeller, and a terrible texture artist...


...oh, I know - I can replace 7 categories with just 1, which saves valuable space.

I don't think words are very effective in this case, so here, have 1,000 of them in a picture:

See what I'm doing? Unfortunately, the category has to be on the right for this to work, and the camera doesn't really like that, but if you think it's a worthwhile tradeoff, then great.

Without further stuff, here's the files: Palette Download.

Honestly, that palette is fairly useless because it obstructs the view of the creature and leaves a huge empty space with nothing in it. That's why I ditched it after playing around with it for a bit :/

Well I solved that problem with CTRL H. Besides, once Emd cracks open SPUIs (yeah, that's gonna happen eventually), we can fix that issue, so this is rather temporary.

I apologize for my long absence. I think I will be able to collect on one part of the day, and to release the first alpha version by Sunday (08.02.15).

And little preview of new foot-part:

MY MIND IS BEYOND BLOWN


Really? This Sunday? Wow. Can't wait!

I like this template, but now I'm busy assembling the models. I'll come back to it after the release of the mod.

[rob55rod]

-snip because long post-

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO release!!!

[CamBen]

I tried the mod, and it seems like a good start but I have 1 complaint: the black or brownish bases on the parts never math to my creatures. My suggestion is to duplicate the parts onto a new page and have them recolor like the creature, so we have the option of black ones and ones that texture like the creature

Yes, do this!

(I almost suggested it)

[Clicker95]

Yeah, I colorized parts in next update (but I will leave only colorized parts, not old-black).

[CamBen]

Awesome, thanks

[rob55rod]

May I also suggest fixing the bug that prevents eyes from being placed on the heads/mouths? It makes them rather difficult to use, but I was able to fix it quite easily, so it shouldn't take you long.

I do not understand what you mean

P.S. Update at the end of the week.

Eyes can not be placed on your parts. Please fix that. It is easy to fix.

I and others do not have this problem.
