Bird behavior

Models & Misc Finished the T3 Dragon's Friendly call. We're keeping those calls short and simple so the calls of the T4 wyrms shine! Reorganized and reimported all files for all currently completed wyrms (Scoria, Iceclaw, Levin, T2/T3 Dragon, T2/T3 Wyvern). This has been a fairly time-consuming slog, and we're happy to have it finished for the wyrms! Began organizing and reimporting files for NPCs. These took a lot of time to sort out, and included fixing errors or adding animations that were missed before, or would otherwise improve things. (Ex: Juvi Wyvern was missing Swim/Underwater Idles, Bellbat now has a Glide and Dive, Common Venna has idle-to-eat and vice-versa transitions.) Materials have been standardized and set up in preparation for the skin system, and LODs have been set up. Made a new Eat animation for the Common Venna, which will be used most of the time. Its old Eat animation will now be a rare alternate one. Remade the size comparison charts, so now you can see an up to date version! Cetapod is in a separate image because it's Too Large to be contained in the chart with all the other creatures.

Coding Updated models in the animation graph logic. Implemented the Levin Darter as a playable! We mentioned this before when we added Iceclaw, but thanks to previous work done by us, implementing new wyrms is pretty quick! Adding the completed Levin and tweaking basic parameters in-game was a 20 minute task. Of course, we'll have to do much more in-depth tweaking to make the wyrm feel right, and add unique abilities in the future, but we're pleased that we can have a wyrm playable in a basic form so quickly! Here's your first glimpse of Levin in the game. There are some animation transitions to fix, so things might look janky. Levin still needs movement values tweaked, and the video is using a placeholder map and the very WIP new flight system, so there are many issues we're aware of. Hope you enjoy glowy Levin!

Stellers Jay? 👀

A four panel comic called Happy Halloween From The Birds. In panel 1, a pileated woodpecker has pecked its huge gaping rectangular holes in a pumpkin. In panel 2, a yellow-bellied sapsucker has pecked a face using its standard rows of small holes. In panel 3, a satin bowerbird has carved a pumpkin into a bower and placed its favorite blue candies all around it. In panel 4, a loggerhead shrike has impaled mini pumpkins on a fence's metal spikes and is saying "fight me."

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.

And that's how you integrate digital elements into an exhibition. Part of the temporary "China's Dinosaur World" at the Shanghai Natural History Museum, China. Closing this November.

How do you pull out of a dive so smoothly? I almost always end up slamming into the ground no matter how much I tilt my hands back up.

I'm pissed at current events, so:

Trans rights are human rights. Everyone deserves to be comfortable as the most true form of themselves. Accepting that is one of the easiest things in the world, and I literally can't compute why so much hate exists

I'm a lil late but happy hatch day!!!

Oof, I know what you mean. I will also chime in with how much I love this edit. I popped in just to check it out and ended up staying up till 2am vibing as a 5m tall bird monster in a field with a couple friends.

Sometimes you just wanna be a giant, fluffy bird monster for a bit

It's very sweet of you to share it! I have the dang thing on my list now for payday and I blame you LOL. Your edit looks so goooood

I figured xD Wobbly does great work! I do QA for Beasts of Bermuda and he's done a ton of our animations so I recognized the reference. My other fave is the one with the raptor being all scary in the dark

Getting in that good scritchin

"what's this big resonite update that people keep talking about"

well

New archery system! Not only are the arrows now throwable after impact, but they are reusable as well! They are also flammable with spacial variables of Fire! If you have such reactive things in your worlds you can use the arrows to set them on fire and then set its targets on fire! #resonite

(Flashing lights warning)

The fluffy moonfang supports vrc light volumes now! Also, if you have Normalizedcrow's feathers and fur shader, I shared the edit in their server.

I'm turning creaturetime's scaled wyvern base into the ender dragon #vrchat
