Title: Sea Creatures
Post by: Lowkee33 on October 09, 2010, 08:32:14 AM
I don't like making requests, but...

Whales, dolphins, sharks, jellyfish and other fishies would be real neat to see.  Thanks.

You already have whales, you just have to make sure the water is deep enough for them to swim around in

Interesting idea, it will make the seas more alive :thumbsup:
By the way, how about sea monsters? ;D

I wouldn't haven't mind a Loch Ness Monstor lurking the waters, what a good idea...

Not sure, but I think this will implicate playing with those game files which we are not allowed to play with or mod.  &mmm

We can also use mayor mode ploppables. Just "plant" some dolphins and sharks in the sea ;D

Indeed, much easier to place as flora.  My batting skills leave a lot to be desired, but I really do want fish.  I recently learned that many models exist free online, so I may just take them.  Every once and a while I return to the fish idea.

Don't know what to say, it's a cylinder with it's points moved around.  Looks like it could be a fish from far away :)

I think that is possible to make seasonable flora creations. For example, we can make a dolphin that jumps is summer, dives in autumn, swims in winter and prepares to jump is spring. So i think that "living" sea animals are also possible :)

It would be difficult.  The only thing that can be consistently placed at the water level is a building.  The models I made were just rendered above the z-axis (they are a little more than a tile long).  Some one would have to make 3 models at different heights and even then they could only be placed at a certain water depth.

Props would work well too, as their timing is much more specific and can appear randomly.


@Catty:  I thought I replied here about a month ago.  That must be some really deep water.  Until recently I played with low graphics, so I hadn't the chance to see animations like that.

@MrBisonm:  We can make our own animations, like traffic lights, or Cogeo's solar farm.

 I was thinking more on the line of schools of fishes like Tuna or Cod.
