Preview And Request: Alien Queen!

Daphisto

Ok, so I have came up with a model of the queen which I am fairly satisfied with. It looks great, ingame, as you can see from the screenies below. But the biggest thing that is missing is the animations. Since I have absolutely no knowledge of animating models, I was wondering if anyone who does is interested in animating the alien queen for me. There isn't much work to do, just basically make the queen looking around a bit and other things that will bring her to life.

AVP2 mesh. Bent, twisted, turned, pulled apart, put back together, rearranged and resized. This was a major hackjob.

Well, it'll only be released when it is complete and it'll only be complete when it has proper animations and it will only have proper animations when someone besides myself animates it because I know nothing of animating models. <out of breath>

Isn't it wierd that the aliens aren't spawned from hosts caught by facehuggers? It doesn't matter that there's three queens. This is not an AL|ENS game, so it doesn't have to work exactly like one. It just has to look like one to satisfy some of us.

Some don't want AL|ENS stuff and that's fine. They've got plenty of their own threads to complain in.

As for the animations, I'll relist my two main suggestions:

There's a spawn animation, after the hive is done building. During this spawn animation, I suggest the queen and ovipositor lower somewhat, with her face sliding out of her cowl, like in the movie, when Ripley and Newt first enter the royal chamber. While it's building, she would be higher up, and more scrunched in on herself, with her tail, limbs and ovipositor right up close to her body, head down, face hidden.

For the death animation, she'd flail, die, go limp, the ovipositor would sag down with her arms, legs and head [think of a queen-shaped rag puppet with its strings cut]. Maybe one of the supports could break, so she hangs at an awkward angle.

I would say more saturation and contrast.
