Man how am I supposed to make it though the weekend if you keep teasing me with these pics!! Excellent picture! The onimorph is as menacing as ever I see. What joy!

How's your weekend going so far? I just got back from a wedding and had a few drinks but didn't over do it since I had to drive my date home. Seems like everyone is getting married these days, well at least over here anyways.
Oi Sin, I call this one today's catch! Oh and I found a lil friend of yours as well.
T
Yeah, I think you've told me that, before, now that you mention it.
I have another American girl planned, as well, but we'll see how that goes.

Ooh, look at you! Congrats on your first patreon pledge!
The Onimorph might come back in a upgraded version yes. Not sure of when.

I'd say that 4 arms and a "living" beard is very convenient!
And if you get that excited by a tiny, tiny, tiny teaser, then you should be glad that I didn't give you a big teaser lol!

You and tmv seem to love doing that, and I seem to caught a bit of that from you two cause I have begun to write on my own page sometimes now as well!
Ah yes I did notice it right away actually and it got me all excited since now they have Ik! Just wondering if you'll be porting any of sbpr monsters over? The onimorph is still my favorite.

LOL talk about pressure! I'd be delighted to give my input and suggestions. And thanks for the teaser! Us that Cthulhu? Lol that looks awesome. I can already picture what I'm going to do with that guy. 4 arms is quite convenient heh. Well that certainly got me excited. Maybe asking for a teaser wasn't such a great idea lol

Man I keep writing in my own page lol.
Sure, I can remove the "feelers" (probably not the correct name, but anyways) from the first monster, I got the base mesh so no probs. It was intended for loose tentacles at first, until I decided to give it 'behavior'.
Have you noted that it is quite similar to the one worm that I made for SBPR?

Modding can be a second job, at least when things piles up and you end up with a lot on your plate.

The demo release on Monday is pretty much a sneak peek/teaser which Patreons gets about a week before the rest. So they get to give their input and throw ideas much earlier than anyone else.
For the time being yer my only patreon so you better shoot a lot of ideas and such next week lol.
Sounds like an interesting game. Don't think I have ever tried it before. Speaking of other creatures would it be possible to have a version of monster 1 without the tentacles? The bulb parts where they come out from can still remain. It'll allow more versatility since users can add the tentacles from illusion or ones you have created. Just my thoughts.

I'm not looking for a reward really other than making some requests here and there. You said before modding is like a second job but you're not getting paid for it, so I just want to support your efforts because your tastes are very similar to mine, there's no other modder that releases these types of mods like you do.

Ooh another demo got say? Of what I wonder?? Perhaps a teaser?? :D

I'd say your mods are worth their weight in gold. I'm glad you decided to start a patreon. I'm sure others feel the same way too.
Well, in Spore you can easily make your own creatures that can inhabit the various of planets, quite a few stock creatures along with other peoples creatures as well.
Those hands would be rigged in such a sense that those two fingers must be moved at same time, something that I tied to that particular creature's racial features (kinda backstory like).
For other creatures I might edit the skeleton a bit so all fingers (on that particular hand piece) can be moved separately, but not on that one creature.

Yeah, now you can imagine me sitting with some of my creatures that do have around 200-236 bones in them. It will take some time to get them all ready.

Indeed I have, but I haven't done too much in making some PR for it. In fact, I consider it not being properly launched yet, I haven't even posted my first Patreon post yet.
Oh god Sin, I haven't even made a reward for a $5 donation yet! The PRESSURE! Lol. Nah, just joking, you'll probably get some demo mods on Monday, if I get them all in order during this weekend.
Were planning to put up my first Patreon post on Monday with some demo mods in it.
Don't worry about how much you can or cannot donate. I'm not in a dire need of the money. $0 is just fine if the wallet doesn't allow. In the end you and others will have access to my mods.
People has been asking for like 3 years in regards of, illusion mods, about the possibility to throw put some pennies in my pockets.
Maybe around 4-5 in regards of other modding areas, or even other things. So yeah, I just opened the door for that. But yeah, it would be fun if people
does consider my illusion mods being worth a few bucks, I never really considered them being that really.
Ah okay. I never played Spore so I don't know anything about the creatures that inhabit the world.

I noticed those huge lines when manually adding them and they look like a pain to add/deal with. And like you said it'll be an even bigger pain when you have to look through it to find an error if you were to make one.

So you finally decided to put up a Patreon I see! As I said before I am willing to support your work and that's what I am doing. I have pledged for $5 a creation but can only do so for the next two months. Once I start school in September things might change since I won't be working anymore so I might have to lower my pledge. Anyways I hope others will follow suit and you can achieve your goals. Keep up the great work my friend!
It's intentional for Monster 2's that those two fingers goes on same IK point. It's a race feat. It can't move either of those two fingers without moving the other.
The mouth is a tad trickier due to that the upper and lower part of the mouth each has 3 hard/soft bone points, and since we can just rotate the IK points most of the mouth
doesn't follow and gets out of place. Working on that still.

The hardest part with it all is the bone list. Let's say that you have a creature with 200 bones, and you want them all to have IK control points. Then you have
to manually add each of these 200 bones to the creatures line of bones:
<5555><spine0><spine1><spine2><spine3><spine4><spine5><spine6><spine7><spine8><spine9><spine11><spine12><spine13><spine14><spine15><spine16><spine17><spine18><spine19>[...]
It becomes very tedious and monotone quickly, and if you make a typo you have a long list to go through to find it.
Rigging the meshes is the easy part.
Ah I see. I haven't had much time to play with it since last night but once I do, I will surely give feedback for you regarding the IK. Though off the bat, what I did realize when I toyed with it that monster 2's last two fingers on each hand are connected as 1 IK. Not sure if this intentional since you did say it was a rough release. I also think it would be cool if he was able to open his mouth as well. Overall it's a pretty great start! What were the challenges of creating rigging IK for items? I imagine it being a lot more work than items with no IK.

Thanks! I'll keep more coming for you my friend. This stuff is really great to play with lol. I know a lot of people in the picture thread are not into the same stuff we are so it's great that I can share pictures with you.
T
LOL, I was scratching my head when I saw you saying 'fine wines', but now I see what you mean! So you've been creating more new girls? Can't wait to see them!
Haha, well I'm actually thankful to you since I think I'm the only one still doing this always; the old ones have left, and the new ones come by and leave sooner or later. :goodtea:

No worries on the English! There's no real need to apologize unless someone actually points it out.
I did probably just release the demo about 2 days ago, so the download is quite fresh.
There's still some polishing to do on the current released stuff, but I did decide to release it in its current state so peeps
can toy around a bit with and probably give some feed back on, in regards of the IK controls.

I decided to keep them in same unity3d file so I don't have to dig in like 3 different files just to fix any issues.
The item, bone and category list are in the same unity3d file, so it's just handy to have them in same.

Not a bad first one!
I'm grateful that you have always played in the Forum games.

sorry,my English so poor゜*。(*´Д`)。*°. sorry..
I haven't checked your blog in awhile but I checked it out today and I never realized you released those monsters! I'm going to have some fun with them that's for sure heh. Thanks for your hard work and effort my friend!

So it seems like items with FK have their own list and categories then eh? The regular items are in the 00 but these ones are in a 07 file which is quite interesting.

Edit: Well here's my first pic with the goofy monster guy.
No problem!

...though honestly I haven't really talked much to those on my friends list. Even the one or two who did contact me first haven't messaged these two years. :wasclose:

If there's anything you can just drop me a line. :fulfilled:
どうぞどうぞよろしくお願いいたします(´ロ`*)
They'll win the Super Bowl...
No... really... they will...
Okay, even I can't say that with a straight face...

They've had all the talent they need for years. Now they just actually have to do it.
