The Realm of 3D Mobs

[Alo2]

Here's the best I could do. It looks pretty bland without actual texture.

Did you rig this
plus i am not new to blender.

Any better graphics can make the FPS worse on a weak computer, the 3D mob option should be able to be enabled and disabled. Not on servers but in client options.

Like they alway say in the open source community, "Make it an option." Actually, I think that's all they say.

[Calinou]

...you think 20-100 triangles will strongly hurt performance? No, just no.

[MisterBananas]

Depends on how old/weak the computer is. For mine, yeah, Minetest wouldn't even be playable anymore.

[Gambit]

So should we stop making 3D mobs then for the sake of old computers? Or should those who want 3D mobs focus on a fork of Minetest that wants to gear towards newer machines? (legitimate question)

Today's GPUs can render a lot of polys easily. Also, slower computers would handle several hundreds of additional polys just fine.

[Gambit]

How old are we talking about is another question I have. When I got my first pc, it was win98 with 126 mb (I think) and 1.2 ghz of cpu... it came with games like MDK, Soldier of Fortune, and Vampire the Masquerade. They ran very well. Minetest runs far better than those games did on the old pc.

A Turtle... make soup, armor, and ninja powers.

Great! :-D

Somehow it reminds me of a transport.

Made these some months ago for a project I was trying to make on blender but gave up. Hope it inspires anyone



Notice I divided the human's legs and arms, really hate that in minecraft XDD

I dunno, too many limbs. I honestly don't mind how minecraft form their model. It's kept simplistic.

Anyways, I got a monkey model.

[Stef]

Wtf your awsome

I HOPE THEY CAN BE FAST ADDED TO THE GAME

[Mito551]

I really do like gambit's artwork, his textures and especially oerkki model!

[Gambit]

Oh it doesn't end there. I have here a bison/buffalo. Some thing for the desert and plains. I'm thinking of making a kangaroo for the aussie friends. Also if anyone have any more ideas for animals that could

[InfinityProject]

A dog that will follow you and won't hurt you (a pet).

[NakedFury]

The ability to handle animals and train them would be interesting but restricting to a dog would be lame and extremely too minecraft. Then people would want cats.

[InfinityProject]

True, ooh I know. How bout a dragon or dinosaur or something else gigantic and mean.

[slasheree]

Why not
-Dog: Attacks any type of enemies (Ground)
-Turtle: Can grab it to swim faster (Water)
-Eagle: Monitors the area for loot and maybe attack only the smaller enemies (Air)

[slasheree]

Did it right now, tell me what you think of it o:

[NakedFury]

how big is it?

[slasheree]

how big is it?

I don't make my model to a certain scale :\ I guess it will have to be rescaled if they are putting it in the game, but I was thinking it would be almost the height of the player ( like a boss [not the meme])

[slasheree]

Does this look like a good bear ?
