Whoops, forgot to mention... The Seriema needs to be rigged. So... if that's a thing you can do, and would like to help out, shoot me a PM. Full credit will be given, as always. :)

Also, thank you for all the kind words, guys! They're motivation fuel, for sure!

Edit: I've been advised that the seriema doesn't fit a single existing node set. Boooo D:

Edit 2: Apparently meshing actual wings onto the model will allow "someone" to make a whole new animation set for it, so don't expect this guy any time soon :3

Dear MiBound, just take your time! Like you, we want the best and this takes time ;)
At least I will sit and wait in front of my laptop and start grinning the moment I saw this animal released! :)

Why not secretary anims? I think they'd work just fine ;)

Apparently the legs and neck proportions are very different and won't fit. *shrugs*

It's much easier and quicker to reconstruct the bones in any case - overall they are very, very similar.

I'm at the mercy of the people kind enough to help me out. If he/she wants new nodes and animations for the Seriema, I'll defer to his/her judgment. I don't mind waiting if you guys don't. ;)

That narrows it down to about 6 or 7 persons, much less if you count the ones who have actually released completely new animation sets - just saying, making a complete set of animations is a super tough job ;)

I'll agree here, secretary anims would be the best choice for the seriama. Just code it to be flightless :P

Again, I can't rig it at all, so if the person volunteering to do so wants to create a custom node set and animation set (and he/she IS one of the people capable of doing so), then I say have at it. If someone else wants to rig it to the Secretary Bird sets, the model is free for anyone to use in Okeanos' unfinished project topic. :)

Everything is looking great MiBound. I am really excited about the Sereima as I have always wanted more ground birds like it.

Really loved the seriema! You made me remember when I saw one for the first time in front of me. It was like I was looking at a small dinosaur XD Great job as always!

Butterfly House Collection
Posted Image


I used the game's default butterfly ambient model for these, but skipped skinning the butterfly body (because it's hella ugly and hella HUGE), and instead skinned the wings only, placing the body skin there to make them more accurate. I don't think the body will bend in-game, but I won't know for sure until I start testing.

Species are: Monarch, Zebra Swallowtail, Tiger Mimic Queen, Forest Giant Owl (I used the topside of the wings rather than the better known owl-eyed bottom, because reasons), Large Tortoiseshell, Peleides Blue Morpho, Peacock Butterfly, Speckled Wood, Paper Kite, Green Spotted Triangle, and Glass Wing Butterfly. :)

Would you guys rather see these as separate animal-ambients or just one model with variants?

Gonna have to be separate because size on these guys varies greatly. :P

Maybe have the bigger ones be one model with a few variants, and the medium and smaller ones the same. Anyways, the look really nice.
