Lilandra and Bride of 9 Spiders

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Grenadiermeshes16/files

Did these in the weee hours. I was inspired.

- Gren

p.S. Could someone skin Lilandra. Thank you in advance.

laughing paradox · August 23, 2014, 05:58:26 PM

Great work on these!

Don't worry about Lilandra, I got you.

grenadier · August 23, 2014, 06:38:19 PM

Thanks LP.

Cyber Burn · August 23, 2014, 07:09:14 PM

Man Gren, with these last few releases, you have really outdone yourself. The animations on these are just fantastic. The "Bride", is especially nice, her movements are extremely fluid.

grenadier · August 23, 2014, 08:14:32 PM

Thanks, SlickAlice had a skope and skin of the Bride. It fired me up to come up with something different. I was going for the creepy effect and so my first thought was the movie "The Ring". After that, it was just a matter of following the flow.

I finally figured out what was causing the jittery effects in the animation that I wasn't noticing in max. It's a time consuming fix and it doesn't always get rid of them all, but in this case it came out smoother.
Glad you like it.

Sweet more meshes!
I'm really not familiar with The Bride of the Nine Spiders, she's one of the Immortal Weapons isn't she? Still very cool mesh and those animations for the spikes are impressive.

murs47 · August 24, 2014, 03:37:07 PM

Bride is simply brilliant!

SickAlice · August 24, 2014, 08:26:21 PM

I am SO pleased with those I can't find an adjective to describe it. You remain the master as ever.

Bride of 9 spiders is really awesome.

Yiiiiikes ... that is so good

Great Job LP.

I like the line work.

Gren is good to see you back in action. We haven't met in the forums, you can call me Jim. How is your health?

Cyber Burn · August 28, 2014, 01:30:52 PM

That is fantastic LP. Your line work is very clean, and your faces have a nice unique look to them. Excellent work my friend.

Nice to meet you.

Health is way better than it was compared to last year. Thanks for asking.

Jus finished another mesh. I'll let LP unveil it once he's done skinning it. I just emailed it him.

Tease.

grenadier · August 29, 2014, 08:17:50 AM

Lilandra Mesh now has LP's Skin with the mesh size corrected.

Bride of 9 Spiders also has size corrected.

My first attempt at skoping. (Yes it's my first. I got too lazy to do it in MAX.)

So good to hear it. I chekced your new meshes, they are neat. Great job both to you and LP.

martialstorm · August 30, 2014, 02:35:47 AM

Two great releases and I'm especially excited about the bride!

Epimethee · August 30, 2014, 05:17:32 PM

Thanks for the great new goodies, Gren. Especially glad to red that your health is better.

Is Bride of Nine Spiders for FF or FFvTTR? I'm asking because when I try to view the mesh using Character Tool 2, it crashes

Knowing Gren, it's probably for

, but you could just convert it to

using the "EZNifConvert" tool.

Cyber Burn · August 31, 2014, 04:07:11 PM

Yeah, I had to convert mine in order to use it in FFvt3R, so I'm pretty sure the Standard mesh is for FF1.

I tried that. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

grenadier · September 02, 2014, 05:18:41 AM

Yeah I see a lot of errors. I think I'll stick to meshing until I get better with skoping.
Is the bride the only mesh with a problem or does Lilandra have issues too?

Did you get any kind of error message when you tried to convert the mesh? Generally, EZNif Convert will give an error message when the conversion fails. I don't recall ever seeing a case where the conversion was successful, but the mesh still crashed CTool2.

Gren, for what it's worth, I was able to convert both the old version and the new, resized version and even tried converting the mesh without the keyframes and everything still worked fine in CTool2.

grenadier · September 02, 2014, 08:19:33 PM

Thanks Hoss20,

I went back and did it the hard way. I re-physiqued the mesh to the correct size. Tweaked the existing animations. Checked the mesh to see if it properly converted to FFVTR. Works fine. The latest version is up on the yahoo site now.

My skoping skills still need work, but that's something I'll leave alone for a bit.

Anyone have any tutorials on how to make a map.
I've an idea for a map but I want to make it myself, I just don't know how as of yet.

If you want to PM me an E-Mail address, I've got a few files I would be glad to send you. I haven't gone through them, so I don't know how detailed/accurate they are (And there may be duplicate files, just with different names), but like I said, I would be glad to send you anything I have.

Xenolith · September 02, 2014, 11:45:21 PM

I had the same problem. I thought it had something to do with Windows 7 and that whole "permission" issue. same with the absorbing man and some other meshes I recently downloaded from LP's website.

QuoteI had the same problem. I thought it had something to do with Windows 7 and that whole "permission" issue. same with the absorbing man and some other meshes I recently downloaded from LP's website.

I don't recall LP having Absorbing man on his site, but nevertheless, I just ran nifconvert and tested my absorbing men and they converted fine. did you convert both the character and keyframes ?
I noticed some meshes I had to convert both and some just the character.nif. As to why, I don't have that answer.

Note to Everyone : I make all my meshes for FF1, if you want use it for FFVTR, just use Nifconvert. I do it so I have the best of both.
