[Animation SDK] Promocat

Uly

Hey all,

Here's a little guy I made the other weekend after looking at some JetSetRadio. Once I polish the rig into a good enough space, I'll throw him out into the wilds for animators to play with. He'll have a few props. An iPhone. Spray paint. Markers. A burrito.

His texture is a 128x128. 622 tris. His eyes are a separate tiny texture so you can play around with his facial expressions.

If there are any animators kicking around here, I'd really like to know what the easiest way I can deliver him fuss-free for you guys is. Right now, he's a literal catrig in 3dsMax, but I'd like Maya users to be able to fool with him as well.








I'll update the thread with progress as I wrap it up.

Hmmm, not really an animator but highly interested, I'll be watching.

Super cool dude! Unfortunately I don't know the best way to deliver this, my best guess would be to hand out the Max scene and then supply a folder with the textures. From there everybody should have all the tools necessary to animate and display the texture. I mainly use Biped in 3ds max, but I'm really excited to do some cool stuff with your model. Looks great btw!:poly124:

There is a really good thread right Here! that might be a good venue for handing it out.

As far as packaging I'd just zip up the max file with the rig and let the world do its thing, chicken wing.
