Very curious to see how this plays out over the next couple of months, in the mean time I wish you the best of luck!

I think this qualifies as proof, so i'll move the topic back to the design section.

This is great to hear. I hope it works, then Zoo Tycoon 2 modding will go ahead a whole new level :D

No more wonky-walking small passerines :D

There'll be no foot-walking! Just air-flying!

Now I'm kinda curious how you're going to do the perching, as many birds grab the branches with their toes :P

Thank you for the set, Azrael!

Whatever the case I can't wait to see what comes of this. I never use the small passerines because they were so unrealistic behaviorally, but maybe after all of this is said and done we'll have some accurate birds to use. :D

I'll ignore that matter and give the perching behaviours stand anims, as it would hardly be visible anyway and it would increase the required anim amount a lot. ;)

I would recommend based on a sparrow, to create a good basis for small birds :/

the skeleton looks very good and I'm anxious to see what's next :adowable:

but the skeleton does not have very long legs? O.o

Well, as crows are passerines just as well the anatomy is very similiar. The movements too. ;)

The legs are covered under the feathers, until below the knee or even till the ankle.

This is a interesting and useful project you are working on Hendrix, I can not wait to see what you can come up with, This will make zoo tycoon 2's birds very realistic.

I have tweaked the rig of the foot so the toes bend together as the foot moves up, automatically. :D

With new animations being possible now, its great to see you taking the initiative to give groups of animals what they need to bring them to life in the game. Is this simply a design resource project, or do you have plans to release a birds pack with the primary feature being these animations?

It's more of a designer resource if you wanna see it that way, I don't plan on making huge amounts of birds, just some species. I've made enough birds already, after all :P
