Title: [QUESTION] Create a mount from A to Z
Post by: Scynic on January 27, 2016, 03:02:22 pm

Hi everyone,

I didn't find the answer to that question, is it possible to create an entire .M2 with custom animations, custom model ?

If it is, and if you know where I can find a tutorial (probably in more than 1 part ha ha), please tell me what I have to be looking for  :oops:

I know how to create 3D models (I often use C4D, but I'm learning how blender works and can learn anything else if needed), but I didn't find how the animations are managed and how it must be created to work in-game.

I'm ready to learn anything, also if I have to spend months into my project, but I don't know what I have to search.
The fact I'm french doesn't help too, because I don't know each english term of what I have to do. But I'm a good student :D

Thank you for any help/answer !

Custom model, yeah, custom animations, not at the moment.
What we can do is a custom model using existing animations, but that's all.

Thank you for your answer, I'm so disappointed :D

My dream was to create a kangaroo, the model is done but if I can't animate it... it will not be a kangaroo lol

Simply use the rabbit animations from MoP they stand on two feet have a tail and 2 arms just like a kangaroo.

Their animations would be perfect for a kangaroo.

Yes custom animations can be made for custom models, look up the MDXTOM2 tutorials by Phucko1, Tigurius and Skarn
