Since most #Pokemon don't posses anything even close to resembling a neck... the special animation that follows your viewport looks kind of bad even before the creature is combined (clipping). So I will probably just "break" this animation inside the Object editor so it becomes disabled. #Seaking

Had an idea to create a separate box object inside the torsos of all my #Pokemon creatures, so when you combo them with #Haunter the connections on the torso would be invisible. But that might have caused issues with the OG creatures... so I am going to take the simple route on this one as well...

I wanted to use a separate flame animation for #Ponyta and overlay it over other animations. But it seems to only work if creatures you combine with have the same animation in its file, or I just don't fully understand the tool... Anyway, I give up I will simply bake it in other animations by "hand"

Not sure if prehistoric lizard boys walked with this much swagger back in the good old days, but not like anyone can prove me wrong. #Postosuchus #ImpossibleCreatures

Went with a very simple Dark blue + Orange combo for #Postosuchus for my #ImpossibleCreatures mod. Now on to rigging and animation.

#Postosuchus taking shape for my dino mod for #ImpossibleCreatures. Took quite some time away from modding IC, but will try to slowly return to finish off my current projects.

#Dodrio was actually one of the first models I tried to make for my #Pokemon #ImpossibleCreatures mod, but just now gave it some textures:

#Pidgey for my #ImpossibleCreatures #Pokemon mod. Using almost 100% of my Pteranodon flying animation. Wing textures are a nightmare though...

Combo test between #Squirtle and #Bulbasaur for my #Pokemon mod for #ImpossibleCreatures. Bulbasaur looks kind of cute with that shell.

#Dimetrodon got its textures, might still do some work on its face before I call it done, but tis time to animate!!! #ImpossibleCreatures

#Dimetrodon taking shape as the next addition for my #ImpossibleCreatures mod:

It would have been smarter to make #Gastly smoke cloud using IC effect tool, but these effects do not appear when creating your army. A janky solution I came up with - make a sphere around main body, and invert its faces... kind of looks like a sprite imitation... #Pokemon #ImpossibleCreatures

At 2:00 in the morning after consuming 1 techno mix and 2 coffee cups - initial #Lapras model for my #ImpossibleCreautres #Pokemon mod. Threw on some rough color textures to get a better idea of how it will end up looking.

At long last I finished #Anomalocaris and #Cameroceras creatures for my #ImpossibleCreatures mod on Steam. Must say I am happy to return to modelling the overgrown lizards.

#Bulbasaur + #Tauros combined and tested inside the game for the pokemon mod. #Pokemon #Impossiblecreatures

Mucking around with #Pokemon. #Ponyta work in progress for #ImpossibleCreatures mod. Main reason my Dino Dawn models have been rolling out slower than usual as of late... oops.

The thing I didn't think about at first when I started modelling #Pokemon for #ImpossibleCreatures mod was that the textures are quite simple, its mostly flat colors with some shading. The one caveat - they need to be accurate, since everybody knows what a certain pokemon should look like. #Rattata

#Anomalocaris is no longer crashing the game and is starting to receive its first animations. #ImpossibleCreatures

Here is what #Rattata looks like with #Bulbasaur animations, some adjustments required but otherwise not bad... might actually save me some time. #ImpossibleCreatures #Pokemon

#Cameroceras textures - done, played it Safe and Brown... any crazy patterns on shell either looked too "painted on" or too muddy and hid the base texture, creature skin patterns are still a bane of my existence. Also slightly tilting down its nose gave it a more "dynamic" look. #ImpossibleCreatures

Cameroceras grayscale textures are pretty much finished, and animations are advancing as well. #ImpossibleCreatures #Cameroceras

Cameroceras is one creepy looking ice-cream cone. Its like animating 8 tails... on the wrong side of the creature. #ImpossibleCreatures

Finished smoothing the Cameroceras model and assigned vertices to the bones, next step will be limb designation and testing - this time will try not to fall victim to my own hubris like I did with Anomalocaris, and perform texturing after I know it works. #ImpossibleCreatures

As it turns out my Anomalocaris patch count is a bit too high to combine specifically with my Pteranodon... So - while I ponder which parts should be cut down in their patch count, I started to block out a second creature - Cameroceras. #ImpossibleCreatures

The grayscale textures are pretty much finished for my anomalocaris. The eyes and its mouth are not "real life lore" accurate, but I feel it fits the IC design language better. #impossiblecreatures

Might be the ugliest step of the process, unwrapped the model for texturing. Anomalocaris was morphed from thylacine, therefore I initially used its textures for unwrapping. Next step texture painting! #impossiblecreatures

Crimes against Pokemon nature continue #Pokemon #ImpossibleCreatures

Next 2 creatures I have planned for Dino Dawn will be a bit more different. #impossiblecreatures

I originally planned to paint the "Fake eye" pattern on its crest, but I stumbled on this cool color combo online, and wanted to try and replicate it instead. Looks like the rejected 5th member of KISS. As usual - a few adjustments remain. #ImpossibleCreatures #Dinosaurs

Starting to shape Styracosaurus from my Triceratops model. #Impossiblecreatures #dinosaurs

Had to spend half a day on a really strange "bug", no matter what, the top shell was treated as the creatures main body for texture blending, ending up in somewhat ugly appearance. Ended up making the shell a separate element - that did the trick. #pokemon #impossiblecreatures

Mlem! #pokemon #impossiblecreatures #Shellder

Damn... grass does indeed beat water - RIP Magikarp. #pokemon #impossiblecreatures #magikarp #bulbasaur

Funny, how well this fits. #pokemon #ImpossibleCreatures

Usually I am afraid of putting too saturated/bright colors on my dino models, but this one looks pretty nice imo, some minor adjustments remain. #ImpossibleCreatures #Dinosaurs

Take Stegosaurus, move some stuff around, boom - Kentrosaurus... ez pz. #ImpossibleCreatures #dinosaurs

Starting to add more signs of life to the Archelon model, might push the skin color to a cooler tone, not sure yet #ImpossibleCreatures

Grayscale textures for Archelon are finished #ImpossibleCreatures

Time to dig out my old-ish model of Archelon that I worked on, and finish it for the IC mod #ImpossibleCreatures

My god - this was an annoying one to texture, but calling it finished... time for bones and animations #impossiblecreatures #dinosaur

Color layer is also finished, only a few minor adjustments left #ImpossibleCreatures #dinosaurs #mod

Carnotaurus stun-locked me with its texture painting, but finally at a point where I am ok with its grayscale set up, time for color. #ImpossibleCreatures #dinosaurs #mod

Poke chamber design for IC pokemon mod. #pokemon #impossiblecreatures

Rattata taking shape #pokemon #impossiblecreatures

Testing the poke chamber build animation for my IC pokemon mod. #impossiblecreatures #pokemon

Exploring the possibility of replacing the creature chamber in IC with a bokeball chamber for a pokemon mod #impossiblecreatures #pokemon

Sure feels nice to animate a creature that effectively has a single bone to animate. #pokemon #impossiblecreatures

Ankylosaurus is gonna be the death of me, or the game, not sure it will support this many patches per model... #impossiblecreatures

Got the Voltorb animation to roll #pokemon #impossiblecreatures

Weedlesaur for IC #pokemon
