Thanks Cranlox. Dean does some good work, and using the Sims3 CAS really helps turn out some nice characters

I'm starting to do some prelim work on a Popeye diorama, so here's some characters tht will be appearing in it;

Bluto, as Sindbad the Sailor, and Wimpy. Sindbad had some minor mesh corrections done to it

Both characters meshes and skins by Cranlox.

Both are rigged to Tommyboy's trek_t, and Wimpy has a burger that can appear, because it would just be wrong if he didn't have one.

Meshes / Re: What could be done?

Very True, Cranlox, but without the model, there'd be nothing to work with either.

So many good cartoon models that you've pumped out for me to work with.

Models can be easy to very difficult to rig depending on the polycount of the model and the shape of the model itself. Legs or arms that are joined together must be separated, and many of these cartoon models that Cranlox is doing for me have body parts that are out of proportion, usually shorter than a normal human form.

We still have a few content creators around, but at present I'm the most active when it comes to rigging. Until a model is rigged it won't animate in game. I'm working at a good speed at the moment, working on rigging as well as my dioramas and other projects. Cranlox has pumped out a ton of good models, more than I could keep up with, so there's a chance that some models getting rigged will be far in the future , if at all.

I've got a few tutorials up and will help anyone if I can who wants to learn how to rig.

I knew it would be difficult to be on the computer these days, but at least I got something done!


It's not the best, and it has a horrible damaged tail that needs to be cut off.

I'll probably sit down later today to work on some models. Besides the RD list, I have one or two requests I haven't finished yet. I want to reiterate that I don't create the final playable characters, only the captured models. A huge amount of meticulous, handcrafted work is needed to match the skeletons before they can be implemented in the game.

Thank you so much RD, to my surprise the movie really impressed me. I wasn't expecting much, but the three singers and their music have their charm. Without a doubt, they were the stars of 2025, so I'm glad they had their place at the celebration and also at FFVS3R. :thumbup:  :thumbup:  :thumbup:

Great wardrobe options for these guys!
That jacket looks really good. The monster is very well done too.

Jonny Quest - probably my favorite classic cartoon ever. Besides the great stories and extra detail in the animation for what was a prime-time series, it has one of the best theme songs ever.

Of all the episodes, "Monster in the Monastery" is one of my top five. Steve Rude did an alternate cover for DC's "Future Quest" comic and I used that as my base.

I couldn't get the narrow cliff path in, but everything else came pretty close to the artwork.

Along with the Thor DD, probably one of my favorite dioramas so far.


Jonny and Hadji - Heads were created in the Sims2 CAS with some editing in Blender afterwards. Bodies were done in the Sims3 CAS.

The yetis were done for me by Dean on a male_heavy mesh.

The flashlight, jeep and boulder are from the Models Resource site.

The rope bridge is from the Sketchfab site.

The icy rocks are from the "Zoo Tycoon" game

Thanks Dana.

Hopefully these dioramas are bringing some good memories to others as well.

One of my favorite Abbott and Costello movies as well. Your wolfman skin was perfect for it.
