Incredibly sorry for the bump (thread necromancy), but I've fixed my site so the files for the project is once again available. See first page for the link - it'll work now. ^^

Ah, yeah my website is down due to an old forum I tried to set up got invaded by some spam-hack. I'll contact the webhost to get it back up in the near future (at work right now, so can't do it right away). I'll post an update here when I do.

I have not installed this character but I LOVE it! reasons are that it works for the worlds cannon and the size proportions fit for the world and game. of course the bear is so big the rabbits only go up to the bears gut. the wolfs reach almost its shoulders. If this much time an effort was put int...

I believe it would. It's just that I think what David did was magic when he fixed the rig in under 10 minutes, something I have spent countless hours on working late into the night. I'm... a bit afraid. But I have the 'blueprint' for how to align the skeleton from the file he gave me, so it's techn...

For example climbing ledges causes the character's arms to spaz out, or grabbing chokehold on an enemy is more or less trying to absorb the victim into your own body, and the character's feet is either hovering above ground or inside of it. It's complicated. :< Would scaling the bear down to rabbit...

It is so awesome to see this guy still alive!!! I know you are working on custom animations, but I'm wiling to bet the custom attack .xml files will also need to be fine tuned. That's probably my only area of expertise in Overgrowth, so let me know if you want me to help you work out some nice atta...

I haven't tried out joint scaling yet! That's gonna be interesting!

I should probably do that, yes. I'll edit it within the coming days.

New patch! It has added the scaling functionality to the game, which is awesome. I thought I had to reconstruct the character rig, but apparently that wasn't required. After a short discussion on twitter (I feel so dirty for asking for help so frequently), I was told there's another attribute called...

Id rather go with the body paint, as the eyecolor is only notable in dialogues... Maybe a variation with two fur colors and 2 body paint layers? I really like three layers for the fur. It's set up as 1.) general body, 2.) belly and muzzle, 3.) dark fur at the end of limbs and along the back. It ope...

Looks amazing! :D Thanks! It shouldn't be far from release to let everyone try it out, and then I'll just patch in more animations when I feel like it. So stay tuned. :D --- I've spent so much time now fixing the palette, but now it is finally done. It's done in the sense that I won't make more wor...

Refining the palette and diffuse map even more. I also found the part of the character's script that handles the random coloring, and I took some time creating new suitable palettes for the bear. http://www.andrige.com/og/mdl_overgrowth_bear-01_anim_screenshot_33.gif Still no solution on the LoD tho...

It looks awesumn, the scars are just badass, wait its body paint? Yeah, preferably they'd be white paint, but that's not possible since the palette map is applied multiplicative. It's just the first pass though, I'm sure alternative fur pattern is of better use. Very nice. I also noticed the LOD pr...

Very nice. I also noticed the LOD problem with the wolf, unfortunately I do not know if it's hard coded or not. Ouch, that's bad. I'll take a look at the code and see if it's specified anywhere, otherwise I'll see if David would want to share with us how it could be fixed. It's going to be a proble...

I am having some issues with LoD (level of detail) reducing the poly count of the model when not far away from the camera at all. Since I had to adjust the camera to be higher up and farther away to make the character more playable, it is just in that LoD range so it pops between low and high detail...

Aye, I have added fur-fringes to the areas, but I'll be sure to look at it closely.
