Deleted User	lgcfm Feb 24 2016, 11:42 AM Don't worry MiBound, I understand what you mean - I'd say we were mostly limited by wanting to use the same model for winter and summer, so we couldn't get as much accuracy for the winter one. That and neither whalebite nor me are very experienced with meshing, and getting help from an experienced mesher that could make big edits to the model is very hard from my experience. I had some ideas on how to use two different models, but honestly I'm not used to spend so much time working on the same thing and was getting tired and loosing interest fast, even moreso after getting so much criticism (and I don't mean only on this thread), I'm pretty weak-willed. Also had some time issues so had to finish it fast before I no longer had time to work on it. I hope you can still enjoy it even if it's not perfect. As I said, everything is PD so everyone is free to edit the skins & models (and hopefully also release them). I'm working on this project as well (or I think I am. I've been getting them confused lately... sorry guys), so I get the frustration with not being able to make things perfect because you don't know how to. And yes, I know I could theoretically figure out blender, and rigging, and animating, and all the other fun stuff that is out there for ZT2 mods. I just don't have the time. Anyway, don't be discouraged. I jump around from project to project when I get bored or frustrated too. I think that's common among designers (and why we get so annoyed when people complain about not completing things "in order"). Keep it up!

Credits: models and winter skins by Jannick, molting and summer skins by Whalebite, seasonal coding by lgcfm, base coding by HENDRIX. @MiBound: thanks a lot for the support, you made me feel better

Anyway, don't be discouraged. I jump around from project to project when I get bored or frustrated too. I think that's common among designers (and why we get so annoyed when people complain about not completing things "in order"). Keep it up! I know that feeling, actually. If you want to do things but don't figure out how to do them. I think we have a lack of tutorials, that don't just show what to do, but also why, so we can understand what and why we're making things. I really like your latest creations, especially the fox and the Rock Ptarmigan, but you should always aim for making things the best way. Of course no one can know everything and so on, but if you don't know what to do ask! And ask again! And again! If I woudn't bug, peeve and annoy DM all the time (and I did so really, really often) I would not have 10% of the skills I have atm. I know, this might hurt some of you or so, but my opinion is, that, yeah, you're releasing animals on more or less a daily basis. What about don't making 50 animals, but spend all the time for 5 and make them perfect. I know people have time limitations, but the time used to make more content can also be used to make fewer things better. And always ask what you can improve if you don't know and how, if you don't know until the result looks amazing! You can really ALWAYS write me a pm or HENDRIX, or I'm sure, any other people you like! Hope to see some more nice animals from you and see you all improving, because I know it's possible. I did so in more or less a year and I really had no computer knowledge before, I was happy, if I could start the game and getting the downloads in, and at the moment, I'm helping ZooZa a lot, and I can really see, how he's improving! So just try it Edited by Yukon, Feb 25 2016, 04:43 PM.

The Download Lady Posts: 2,552 Group: Download Managers Member #23 Joined: Mar 3, 2013 Country Chile Sex Female Real Name Rayén Age 21	Oh believe me I annoyed DM quite a bit while making the fox however there's a point where I start feeling like an annoyance (have some personal traumas about that), when I feel I can't really do anything unless I'm told step by step how to, fix one thing and now other two don't work, it's very frustrating... That not to mention my time issues, I have the time to design about two months a year (reason why most of my releases are in january or february), so I don't really want to spend months working on each animal.

Then it's all core ft, but you might not have understood it. I notice that by me too, when I'm explaining. Only thing that helps is annoying. Believe me, DM is a pretty nice person and will always help you! Oh and I'm nice, too And about the time, it goes much faster, once you get into it! And just some small model edits and new skins might be enough. That doesn't take to long. Edited by Yukon, Feb 25 2016, 05:20 PM.

Next thing we know we will end up with a Arctic Hare The Rock Ptarmigan looks amazing. Will it have the same molting months as the Fox. Or will they be different?

Or will they be different? For now the months are the same on both animals, but it would be easy to change. @Yukon: I might have gotten discouraged too fast... If I find the time/interest to work more on the fox I'll update it later.
