Animations in progress, TODO list Options

[T.G.Maestro]

I thought it would be nice to have a list of animations we can expect from this project - WoRm, if possible, please list those avatars you want to do next, and I guess even visitors of this forum can tell you which animations they would like to see in the future.

As for me, I'd be most interested in a thourough Demon/Devil collection. Also it is worth to note that once you get yourself to convert Balors for example, it would be essential to convert the animations with their specific weapon(s) - the flaming sword.

[WoRm]

So far what I have done (just waiting to be tweaked(shadows) and uploaded)

1) Werecat-weretigers
2) Werebat
3) Gorgon
4) Gelatinous Cube
5) Avarial (male and female)
6) Devil
7) Purple Worm (this ones cool )
8) Improved golems..Iron/Adamantium/Flesh/Clay
9) Deep Rothe
10) Giant Leech
11) Displacer Beasts

and what I plan on doing next

1) Balors (with/without sword and whip)
2) Various PC like characters like Amel and Vedred (got any special characters?)
3) DLA's awesome ogre
4) DLA Sharks
5) Dracolich (I'm really..really trying for this one)
6) Medusa


as T.G.Maestro pointed out, here would be a good place to make wishlists for what you would like to see.

[T.G.Maestro]

Devil

And what is this?

Either way, this TODO sounds most promising, I'm waiting for those Balor animations (not to mention the Dracolich... now that would be an achievement!).

Oh, and as I remember, Galactygon asked for Lich replacements too.

[Caedwyr]

A variety of Baatezu, Yugoloth, Tan'ari, as well as a variety of celestials would also be nice. Also, a few more creatures from the elemental planes would be appreciated too.

Especially water elementals, since BG lacks them (IWD isn't good enough).

-Galactygon

[NiGHTMARE]

My top five Would Love To See:

1) Thri-Kreen
2) Kenku
3) Troglodyte
4) Rust Monster
5) Centaur

[T.G.Maestro]

Especially water elementals, since BG lacks them (IWD isn't good enough).

I wouldn't recommend using the NWN version of Water/Fire/Air elementals, they are the worse implementation of these creatures. My vote goes for either the IWD or the ToB versions.

[T.G.Maestro]

My wishlist so far would include:

Undeads:
- Spectreal undeads;
- Greater Mummies (at least one version);
- Lich;
- Bodak;
- Bone Golem;
- Vampire (Male/Female);
- and of course the Dracolich

Others:
- Manticore;
- Intellect Devourer (at least one, but non-undead version);
- Extra Golems: Demonflesh/Mithral;
- Vrock

[Galactygon]

My vote goes for either the IWD or the ToB versions.

Unfortunately, the ToB water elemental animation is closer to the water wierd animation than the actual elemental itself. It is even marked in one of the IDS files as "weird" or "water weird" or something similar.

That is true, I admit - that is why I added the IWD variations as an alternative. Either way, I think that while NWN has many great creature animations, the ones for elementals are not among these.

My top five Would Love To See:

1) Thri-Kreen
2) Kenku
3) Troglodyte
4) Rust Monster
5) Centaur

May I ask where these creatures appear in any of these games?

[Caedwyr]

To be a bit more specific in my earlier requests, I'd love to see animations of the following creatures if they are available:

Khargra
Xorn
sea hag
water elemental
water weird (I'd like these two to be somewhat distinct in appearance, so either/or works for me)
Cloud Giant
Aerial Servant
Ice paraelemental
Nereid
Triton
air mephit
galeb duhr
pech
sandling
azer
firetail
Sylph
Phantom Stalker

@ Caedwyr:

The following creature are NOT present in any of the NWN campaigns, IIRC:
- Khargra, Xorn, sea hag (though this one appears in ToEE), Cloud Giant, Aerial Servant, Ice paraelemental, Nereid, Triton, galeb duhr, pech, sandling, firetail, Sylph, Phantom Stalker, Agathinon, Amnizu, Chasme, Molydeus, Mane, Rutterkin, Bar-lgura, Uridezu/Ratfiend, Hezrou, Nalfeshnee, and all the Yugoloths you listed.

And these creatures are already present in BG2 or other IE games:
- water elemental, water weird, Lemure, Cornugon, Nupperibo, Glabrezu.

[Baronius]

Aerial Servants are also present in BG2.

[NiGHTMARE]

As are air mephits and nereids.

[T.G.Maestro]

And Nalfeshnee in PS:T.

[NiGHTMARE]

Come to think of, there's a Xorn in the Community Expansion Project:

Sure, but I understand there are a variety of player mods out there, and someone may have done one of these creatures up. As well, I seem to recall something about porting over other game's creature animations, so I may as well have a wish list out there somewhere

You are correct, but since WoRm works on this alone (for now), I think it would be a little bit wiser to focus on animations that are actually available and doable, and keep the questionable ones for the future. There are plenty of portable creatures in NWN already, I think we should concentrate on those first.

Also, since this thread is becoming somewhat confusing, I suggest sorting the requests to NWN / non-NWN sub-groups.

[WoRm]

There has actually been an extensive amount of custom models done by the community and a majority are very, very well done..for instance off the top of my head....xorns, kenkus, tri-keens,centaurs, ants, wasps, centipedes,rust monsters, a majority of the demons listed,etc all have been modeled...so chances are it may make it to a bg2 conversion. I search the NWN vault all the time so no new creatures make it past me and since I adore BG2 waaay more then NWN (sorry atari) I mainly use my NWN as a kind of usable database of BG goodness.

so keep the wish lists coming!

(p.s. sorry about the delays in new material, just going back through everything and fixing shadows/syncing and overall lighting before i start any new model conversions.bear with me though )

[T.G.Maestro]

Different varieties of Devas

Whilke there are no different varieties of Devas, different varieties of Celestials are available:
- a female Deva (HotU);
- a male Planetar (HotU);

WoRm, if you ever intend to start working on these, please make it sure you add the correct weapons these creatures tend to use according their pnp descriptions: the Mace for the Deva and a Two-Handed Sword for the Planetar.
