For a template i am creating i need a few models that are not licenced so if you have a funny walking model that has a walking animation
let me know. It has to be a character or a creepy crawler. The spider from the resource site i could not use as it leakes when i use shadow.

Your name will be in the credits (or you company name) if you can
help me out on this.

best would be if its a character to be a fantasy one it only needs a walking animation.


Thank you all for your time i hope people will donate models to help me out

thx for your time

^ I can't make you models, but I'll see if I can patch the leak in the spider. No promises I suck at model work ;.

at arteria3d there have been some animated models free to download and use: a wizard, an elven swordsman, and a human swordsman. if you say "I downloaded but accidentally deleted", I can send them to you.

i will look there. Was there not once a scorpion model in d gamestudio ?

Scorpion

I have closed the spider's mesh. Could you add the closed FIXED mesh to the AU rsite. Also note the skin is and never was a power of 2, causing slower rendering of this model.

SPIDER2.mdl
SPIDER2.fbx
SPIDER SKIN BMP

Edit - do to fbx scaling the spider is small - fixs
scale fbx in 3dsmax before export.
scale fxb in Med during import.
scale mdl7 in med with global scale tool then resave

it has no animations the frames are there but it shows
only the spider without movement.

Iglarion thx for the scorpion it seems the scorpion has the same
problem ah well for now i won't use stencil shadows then.

Oh Sorry, it seems the mdl-> fbx export I got from the forum 11.2006 fbx did not export the animation.

Solutions -
Get me a mdl export to fbx with the animations and I'll close the mesh again.

My testing shows that even with the animation, the new mesh is different and the animation would be corrupted. And so I say, things are not easy and simple. period. If it were simple then it would be simple, it is not.
Then so
or
Load the spider2 fbx into your fav model editor, build a bone rig and create your own animation.

Best regards

For the most part closing a mesh in 3ds max is easy, until it is not. However you will run into the same issue -> losing the animations. I can fix the open mesh, however 3ds max doesn't come with a "make perfect and preserve animation for 3d game studios" button.
