I was wondering if anyone has noticed any animal Varients? So far I have only noticed the dolphin skin (One Grey and one Blue).

Female turtles from the demo have varients, and so do the orcas I think, just not as obvious but I'm pretty sure i saw one, just the white on their belly.

I've noticed variants for-
Walrus
Beluga
Pilot Whale
False Killer Whale
Green Sea Turtle
Leatherback Sea Turtle
Bottlnose Dolphin
Maybe the Sea Lion


I find it really odd the WHale Shark doesn't have any variants, considering it is covered in spots.

Belugas have varients too - aside from normal white, they have this ivory color, and gray.

Why are there 3 .dds files for MM animals?
« Reply #8 on: October 27, 2006, 02:02:18 PM »
Are they all different variants or are they for various water levels or something? I wanted to edit a few skins and possibly make some animals but I'm afraid to mess with the skins because I don't understand why there are three.

Merging with a topic about MM2 Varients.

DDS files with a _1 or _2 next to them are varients, but some of the files are weird, as the dolphin, for example, uses _2 as its default skin. (or at least it was like that last I looked, it might have changed now). It's just the way they are programmed.

Merged with existing topic on Marine Varients.


As for the picture, I'm not sure...I haven't personally seen the Narwhal model varient, but if the tooth is a 2d object, that might be more probable than a whole model varient.

Yes, I know what you mean; what I am saying is I haven't noticed the varient you speak of. And its still possible that the horn itself is a 2d Object - I haven't messed with the Narwhal though.

I just checked the files and there is indeed a two toothed Narwhal model varient. I don't think that this means all animals can be programmed to use two models, but this one seems to.

hopefully most of the animals can this way we edit some models and have model varients! i would love a female elephant with no tusks (that the only one i could think of right now =]  )

What I am saying is that the coding doesn't exist in other animals for this. I can't even get a male seal to have regular varients right now! If the animals arent hard coded for it, we can't do it.

Also, edited models still have some bugs. Let's not get too hasty.

I still havn't encountered the double tusk for the narwal, are there any prerequisites or is it just a rare varient?

In nature, Narwhals have had double teeth. It is extremely rare, but it does happen.
