....without it looking horrible with some animations....

That's why you edit the Skeletal Weights. Focus on matching the reign weights to the Neck weights, starting at the head and working down to not much further than the middle of the neck.

Re: request for uber chocobo!

Looks awsome, the only think I don't really like is the contrast of the saddle and the Armor... mabye if someone could reskin the saddle to make it match?

I'd do it myself but I suck at these things >.>

Re: request for uber chocobo!

I know about matching skeletal weights, I just don't think I'll be able to get it to be smooth with all of them. I don't expect it to be very hard to make it look smooth when walking/running, but making it also look normal while digging and dismounting would be a little trickier.

I'm going to leave the one I've distributed there. But I'm going to keep working on it, call it a beta or something. Currently, I'm adding armor onto the legs. After that I might go back and add a little more onto the chest plate, possibly add reigns as opposed to a handle, and lastly I'll consider changing the seat to match the rest a little more.

Re: request for uber chocobo!

Nothing special, I Just threw together 2 reskins of the war chocobo. I'll make better ones later. I made one silver, and one gold....ish lol ... wasnt sure about the gold one from the begining because of the yellow and gold similarity but...figured meh, why not? Anyways heres the pics, let me know what you think. dats posted as well since the actual models werent made by me to begin with...I just reskinned them.

Re: request for uber chocobo!

I think the nice thing about grey armor is that it matches the seat on top of the bird ^^

Re: request for uber chocobo!

Re: request for uber chocobo!

Leg armor more of less complete here. What do you think?
...Probly needs to be darkened a bit.

Re: request for uber chocobo!

looks good to me ^^ ...yeah it does look light...also the texture doesnt really match the other armors style but its all good, nothing a bit of reskinning wont fix anyways lol ...also.... I figured id mention this.. although I'd have to see it in MV myself and look at different angles... side view mainly.. it looks very think to be leg armor, I think maybe a scale armor type may look lighter? not sure, its up to you. I just thought maybe give it a texture that looks.... light, sturdy, yet flexible.

Re: request for uber chocobo!

Did some work on adding reigns. They came out better than I expected. And the skeletal weight balancing was muuuch easier than I had anticipated. The skinning on them isn't final by any means. Feel free to leave some suggestions as to what they should look like.

The ingame pictures are rather dark and hard to see, heres a shot in the model viewer:

Wow, that's a really cool chocobo @.@

Re: request for uber chocobo!

Allright. I've reskinned the saddle and darkened the leg armor. I think for the most part it looks pretty good. I wont be back until later tonight, but leave feedback/suggestions on it. I'll read them over when I get back, possibly make some more changes, and then most likely release this version.
