Ok...

I have some models that I got somewhere else, but I need help animating them
and skinning another one, I can't do this because GMX and all those other programs
don't seem to want to work for me :(

So if anyone wants to help, plz reply

(I'll post some info on the units to)

=====

Ok the units are both monsters:

- Darkling Glory (for those of you that have read "The Runelords: Brotherhood of the Wolf)
- Werewolf

They will both be used especially for a map I am creating (Tol-in-Gaurhoth)

Solinx: No double posting please. Use the edit button instead

Moved to right forum.

Tell us more specifically what you need help on, because we cant help you if you say 'I need help skinning.'

If you want to get better, there are some great skinning tutorials on this site, written by Nertea in his subforum. If theres a problem that you're having with your skinning, explain it more.

About GMAX and other programs not working, what do you mean? Do you mean they crash and give you an error?

So you have there models complete already? and the werewolves skin already? and you need them binded/rigged and animated well.... there arnt to many animations free at the moment so that will probably be a problem. They are all tied up in big projects mainly. Anyways what is Darkling Glory?

Well, for those who have read "the Runelords," a Darkling Glory is the demonic counterpart to a glory. It is a creature of pure evil, that is summoned from the netherworld (or the One True Wordl)

It is tall, has wings, the power of air and darkness, and seems to suck the light from the area around it.

Also, I just got an Earth Elemental model to, so its on the list :p
It doesn't need much work done to it.

Importing the balrog skeleton could be a start... ;)

Then, if the model fits the skeleton of course, bind the model to the skeleton...

Voila... :p

and for the suck light effect you can put a few (5 or something) spheres around it (going from small to large) which are totally black, but have alpha values of 0.05 or something

like so: ( ( ( ( ( demon ) ) ) ) )

they're good, but you're either going to have to remake them or experience immense lag in the game
