Cartoony Monsters Pack [Webplayer]

Hello,
I am working on a monster pack in my free time. It will be available in the assetstore. The theme is cartoony, a bit wow-ish, but perhaps even less serious. Currently it has 3 mob type, and each monster is animated (idle, move, attack*2, being hit*2, die, +some additional anims for each monster). Monsters have at least 3 texture variations.

I am interested, what is your opinion, what more is needed. More mob types? (raptors, lions, various insects, earth elemental, golem, robot, etc) More animations? Maybe some environbent objects related to these mobs? Please post your opinions in the comments.

Anyways, here are the pics, and the webplayer demo:

 

are these free?

 

they look amazing!

 

Ahah they are great!

 

I think you summed it up... all these look smashing ! Animations seem to be more then ok for normal enemies.
Perhaps some giant bosses that might spawn the little ones ?

Great work !

 

They look nice but what are this cubical things on the images,maybe rigs?

 

Hello,
thank you for the encouraging.

emmanazir: No, they won't be free (maybe I will make one monster free, and the rest of the package paid, so the customer can try it whether it works for its project or not). Price is not yet decided, I am thinking 20-30$ per mob or so.

ivanzu: yes, they show the rigging. Most notably the number of bones. I know it is not very informative yet, in the final product, these will be showcased better.

 

Hey,
The RPG creature pack just was accepted to the assetstore, here is a webplayer demo:

New creatures:



I will make an announcement at the assetstore forums tomorrow, and I will prepare a "demo" figure that can be downloaded free of charge.

Very very nice works (and price).

Excellent work!

 

They're really cool, good work.

 

Awesome.
There are still to few nonHumanid, cartoony characters in the assetstore.

I really appreciate that you tell the number of the tris and the bones and show us the geometry of your models.

That should be standard at the asset store.

 

Well, the "official" announcement is here:

It is worth checking, it has a link to a free animated demo monster

 

This pack looks soo cool. Very good job. 5 stars!

 

Nice, are you using 3ds max CAT for rigging?

 

No, just simple objects as bones. I don't have CAT since I have an older version of 3ds max.

 

What does that mean ? You just model objects on your own and assign them as bones?

 

Well, yes. However I wouldn't call it "modelling bones", more like "putting down a box and extruding the faces a bit" On the Animations tab there are the Bone Tools, there you can set it to be a bone, so it will get exported to the FBX file as a bone and not as a model.

I found this method very good compared to the bones that max offers by default, since it is much easier to select, see, judge the size, shape, etc. I have multiple commercial games under my belt where I used this method, and never had any problems with it; I've read it in an old tutorial quite a while ago.

However new maxes might have better solutions; this was done in 3ds max 9 (not 2009).
