Few things Koiking: Turkey wings yeah, but I actually didn't want to change the shape of the Peafowl wings because I wanted it to be accurate, but now since it's messed up ingame, I'll make it fold like turkey wings I take no offense, it is like that XD But I said I'm gonna fix it anyway.ZKG: I don't like doing hybrid animals sorry. manbeast: well on the side, that's the way it folds, that's the best I can make it fold, I noticed that too, but remember BF Peafowl's train, it didn't even come properly from the back, which was inaccurate. The Spiky thing again, that's how the bones come together =/ And I'm sure it's better then BF's M shaped folding. Same for the eyes patterns, Though I'll see what I can do, some of BF's animations are really messed up and rushed if you ask me. amkid:Actually the real tail, I ALREADY have it on my model, I only didn't show it to you guys, coz that would require another explanation ![]() SO READ Carefully: I know that picture is KINDA inaccurate, don't worry I have done enough research on the functioning of the opening and closing of the train to make a mistake like that. So basically the tail SHOULD be where it is, at the end, so when it raises up the Body tilts fully with the tail holding it in place AS MinxFox said, but to make the body tilt I have to do a whole lot of work which I don't think would end up in a very nice manner as well, so I didn't do it. But in the SAME time I thought the Tail Holding up the Train was an equally important thing to do, so I put it on the back so it gives that sort of an appearance. And it gets hidden within the back when it folds. I also thought that I could keep the tail immovable so it would give a better effect when normal but then again when it opens out, it wouldn't support the tail coverts as it should. NOW, I think that's a better idea because, when the train opens out, who's gonna see the back, right? So thanks to you guys' suggestions, I am going to bring down the tail so it is beneath the tail coverts (and doesn't expand) in normal times. I think that's a much better decision. *the thing to note is, I've done the tail feathers at start itself XD LOL* Minxfox: Lol yeah the train shakes really awesome now XD Kiwilover: I don't know why it matters much about a messed up train really, cause even in real life they're sorta messed up, the train that is. XD Anyway thanks, Although I will fix the train and wings to make it better. (Please note it's not the model itself that makes it messed up, it's the animations) Note: I don't want people saying the back is inaccurate by just looking at the pic, I already stated why I did that, and how I'm going to change it. |

Well that's fine and all the detail in such a magnificent animal will distract the crappy animations BF has. I use to visit my grandparents who had many indian peafowls they reminded me of colorful chickens because they would always run away from me if I tried too pet one (the males) but the females and chicks would let me touch them. I caught a male once but he jumped out of my hold and landed in a tree about 5 feet higher than me I want to see them jump like that ingame.

Really? My male peafowl walks right up to me and the hens are the ones that are shy and run away. Really good job on the real tail, it looks really awesome, so much better and realistic! Max 2: I am guessing they won't be guest friendly. Like some green peafowl are said to be a little agressive, some males have been known to attack their owners! A reason why I might not have green peafowl and just have blue.

In my experience, green peafowl have always been in aviairies, only common peafowl have been free-ranging. Great work by the way Simba, it really is fantastic. |

Yes but it makes sense where they lived it was very public and people would try picking the males feathers and stealing them (which a certain person stole about 3 before being tooken away) the females didn't really care they would happily make nests in the homes of people who lived their and the chicks weren't shy at all. I really want to own peafowl someday they are magnificent and beautiful. |

That would make sence. I am supprized the male I had that ran away was not afraid of me since he was a zoo bird. I really hate it how people chase peafowl around. You should be able to own peafowl if your grandparents have some! Yes adding on to what Markun said, the greens are normally contained because 1. they are more likely to wander further than blues and 2. They are rare endangered birds, so I don't think you want to risk them being eaten because they are so prized for rarety & cost.

i agree the real challenge there is making it look realistic is actually making it looked messed up. but what you've done, which is amazing, is a perfect example of a green peafowl in its prime. its skin is perfect! and i think it will be the most amazing bird for zt2 yet! |
