does this new version allow resizing of the monster? If so how plz?

Thx,

LG

@LordGarth: It does not I'm afraid. I could easily add that - but it would be more 'for fun' than anything, as all of the animations won't match up (so a half-sized monster will walk half a space and then 'snap' into the next square) as all aspects of the creature and it's animations would be scaled. If people would like this feature (again, just for fun), then I'll add it!

I really don't want to see badly animated resized monsters in people's dungeons because they "couldn't resist". But I guess if it's known that the feature is only for testing or fun, then it couldn't hurt, right?

... but could you resist well animated resized monsters ?

As an experiment I tried other resizing policies, the result seems good so far...

What I did (as now mostly manually):

• Apply scale to the local_srt node
• Apply a reversed scaled translation on the Z-axis for all the nodes which have local_srt as a direct parent

yes damnit! i want a party of ogre charging the player. or lots of knee high ogres swaming you like those little demons from the gate.

as for the snapping to square thing, what if we add a nightcrawler like puff of smoke to the monsters callem blinkers!


that spider is great! since spiders have been known to hop.

Good Job with this ! I have just tested the Tiny Spiders !
They are kind of cute ! And the animation seems to be perfect !
I can't resist to those kind of tiny monsters !

Xanathar, you should definitely make a speficic thread about this and release your tool when it is finished
I'd love to play with this kind of tool in order to make new monsters groups like small crowerns or wywerns flocks, band of snails, armies of slimes, swarms of scavengers !

You're right, moved this to a new thread so we stop hijacking this, which isn't very polite (sorry John!).

Am I right in that both tools are C# code? Could the re-sizer not become integrated into the GMT? (Just curious)

[JohnWordsworth]

A speedy update this evening... Release of GMT 0.3.0.1.
GMT Homepage ~ Direct Download

• Fixed silly OBJ import issue - it should now work fine.
• Fixed Material library issue where it was clearing textures out of memory before you were done with them.

Enjoy!
