Description
Kinda embarrassed to post this, but... oh well.
I'm still new to 3D, don't expect perfect work.This is the model for BeastEon game. The gryphon body design is theirs.
Models will appear as a small sprite on isometric maps.Β
They are much faster for me to make and animate, than pain-stakingly drawing 2D sprites like these again.
Β
(that was the first attempt. I tried to make this model and animation very similar to the sprites)
These markings are totally made up. I don't know what markings will be generated on gryphons yet.
And please excuse the mistakes (wing clipping through tail etc) - I'll be more careful with the next beast models.

Very nicely done! Its smooth and looks good for you being new to it at the time. Very nice.

this is bad? no this is gorgeous! i'd pay like 100 dollars and over to have a perfectly Mesh rigged model like this for SecondLife

I'd be happy to try that for you, but I'm not familiar with the file format that they use... I could only provide Blender and image files with the mesh/rig/texture and maybe a few animations (idle, walk, run, fly, idk what Second Life allows).
Then you'd have to ask someone else about the exporting, and getting it working on the game.

well overall I think it looks beautiful! if you get into rigging and such with your 3D modeling work you could make a great deal of money making avatars for SecondLife : DD
other than that I think talking toΒ Teager if you make an account would help~
Secondlife especially now that it has a new bone system for animation called "Bento" there is much much more customization within the game
i've always admired your work and I truely hope to see you spread your "wings" per say more into 3D stuff <3Β

Huh, so they don't use the bone/animation data sent with the model? You upload the model and then create bones and animations with their own system?
That sounds strange. If the model is made by person 1, do they have to upload and rig it? Or is the commissioner expected to rig and animate it?
From a quick search, it looks like you have to pay to upload things. I'm confused lol.

I'm getting so excited for Beast Eon, really I am

I've used blender before so I feel your struggle. But omg no that griffin is amazing and the fact that you made it on blender is just great! Keep it up man, good stuff!

I can't see anything to be embarrassed about, it's lovely! I didn't notice the clipping either (sorry, I still don't see it! lol)

Oh wow, you did a great job! Don't be embarrassed at all. I went to school for animation and game design and I'm pretty sure this would get you top marks. There's at least one teacher I had that I know would kill to have you in his class. It's not just the modeling that's excellent, it's the skin you've painted and how amazingly the parts move together. Beautifully animated and textured!
Can I ask what program you used? I'm familiar with programs like Maya, ZBrush, and Sculptris. This is seriously awesome and I'm even more impressed since you're self taught! Doing great.
As someone who plays Beastkeeper, I look forward to BeastEon even more so now.

Sorry for late reply, been busy. ^^' How are things going for you lately?
Thanks for the comment. I use Sculptris for meshes and texture-painting, and Blender for rigging/animation. This is a good tutorial for rigging: cgi.tutsplus.com/tutorials/buiβ¦
Ignore the IK thing if you want, and obviously if you're rigging a non-human then some of the steps like fingers are redundant. Instead you'll have to find creative ways to handle wings and stuff. I could send you some screenshots/blender files if you want to copy or mess around with rigs? Though things quickly get spiky and ugly if bent too much. No Pixar quality here, lol.
And yay, I'm not actually familiar with BeastKeeper myself, so everything about BeastEon is new to me.

Totally fine and understandable! I've been doing alright for the most part. Yourself?
Hmm. I haven't used Blender. But I see it's free to use. So I'll have to download it soon and mess around with it. I've been messing around with Sculptris and learning more about 3D modeling. Had to drop out of school just as I was starting the 3D courses so I've only got the basics. lol. Might take you up on the offer to examine some files. Always helps learning to look at someone elses stuff. At least for me it does. Thanks!
I'm Riverspell on there just like I am here. Profile ID 47758 I believe. If you join, feel free to look me up. I've got some pets I can pass on if they interest you.

Β whoa so cool... i wanna learn how to do that!

It looks really nice, but the fethers at the end from the wings are... intresting.

Did you rig and animate from scratch? If so what program did you use?
I'm kind of a noob but I'm slowly crawling the stairs of Blender and Zbrush.

do you have any tips of sculpting critter feet in sculptrist?

May i ask what program yer using to do 3D on o.O?

I only noticed the messy wing feathers, but otherwise I love this model. I'm sure any future ones you make will improve exponentially, as this is an excellent model and animation for a new medium.
Now I'm going to follow that tumblr and see what develops.

It's not a masterpiece, but considering it was not made to be viewed by the masses it gets the job done perfectly! I'm surprised you even bothered with creatingΒ a skin for it, but I like the design you went with to show off your model.

This is amazing! What are you talking about? XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you.
The clipping, the jagged wing feathers, the chest being stretched between forelegs, the wonky bending tail... those are the issues I was talking about. x) But at least they are identified, so can be avoided in future. Hopefully.

My pleasure
Well, I have got to say, I really did have to look for those issues XD
But yes, what you say is true

This is great for being new to 3D. I didn't notice any clipping.Β I agree that 3D models are a lot faster to animate than 2D sprites. It's making the models that takes a lot of time.
The running animation is nearly spot-on. I just think the one frame where all four feet are on the ground doesn't feel quite natural for me. It may help to get an image sequence of a lion running. I think I saw one in Edward Muybridge's photography collection.

Thank you. Little mistakes don't really matter for these models, as they'll be tiny sprites in-game. Still good practice to avoid them though.
You're right, the running animation is a little off. I haven't figured out exactly how to position legs and bend feet to jump naturally... some of the other beasts are like lions and wolves, so I'll need to get those right. Will look for that lion reference, thanks!

That's okay. Glad I could help.

Hehe, if you say so. Thank you.

Look great to me! I've seen a lot of 3D programs and I've used a few but I've never been able to do something like this. Did you use Blender 3D for this or another program?
π: 0 β©: 1
Modelling and texturing in Sculptris. Rigging, animating, texture-adjusting and rendering is done in Blender.

Oh I see!
I have played with Sculptris but I cannot get feet to work out T-T

Wow. Why have you done this :> IT'S AMAZING

I really want this talentΒ Β
