===[COMMITTED]=== Zebu Rigging

[Stan`]

Well that was quick lol I'll look at it tomorrow.

@LordGood Thoughts ?

[Lion.Kanzen]

I talk with @Alexandermb and I show some scenes very strong of some series and movies. about cattle dead.

[LordGood]

Yess that's what I'm talking about. Wish we had an active sound department to make a nice thud to go with it lol

[GunChleoc]

Maybe bend the legs too as it falls?

Sirvió mas de ejemplo el de la escena de roma, la de Alexander casi ni se ve, y como dice lord el sonido ayudaría bastante.

@Alexandermb Can you bend the legs a bit on a second variation ?

I'll mirror this one for variety too.

[Alexandermb]

@stanislas69 you mean like this or when falling ?

I think many animals stiffen up as they die. Or maybe have the animals legs give out first and have it fall straight downward and then fall to the side secondarily. Or front legs give out first then the back legs. Just some ideas. Many ways of doing it.

yes there  are more videos but with real stuff. I'm not sure if share that in this post.

Reading this thread, I wondered if that "falling" animation could be achieved with a physical simulation (ragdoll ?) in Blender?

[Stan`]

@Alexandermb I'll commit it when I'm done with the chariot. I have weird bone rotation when I export with Blender 2.79.

@Leyto Yes it's possible @enrique did it for his horses, Unfortunately the blend files haven't come so far.

[wowgetoffyourcellphone]

Could the same rig be used for the Sanga cattle? Thinking Terra Magna/DE for the Kushites.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Yeah probably.

[Alexandermb]

@stanislas69 i tweaked a bit the zebu armature and added helpers for animations + other additions, as soon i'll get the cattle textures i'll upload the blend + mod folder.

Changelist:

• Added Bovidae_ suffix for avoid breaking other armatures.
• Added walking relax animation.
• Added running animation.
• Added 2 death variant animation (Still have to recreate the ones already done).
• 4 Idle animations
• 1 Feeding animation
• Merged similar meshes on the blend file (Cattle - Sanga Cattle - Zebu).

You have been reminded.

Go ahead @Alexandermb you have to power here. Be wary of tabs and spaces

[Alexandermb]

i require some of your knowledge here @Nescio for specific names for this mod:Cattle.7z

it includes the changes mentioned above. and also would require some help with the icons too if possible @wowgetoffyourcellphone

Here you go:

• Bos taurus taurus (European cattle)
• Bos taurus africanus (Sanga cattle)
• Bos taurus indicus (Zebu)

The calf actor is as large as the adult cow, perhaps you could have a look at it? Other than that, great, hopefully it'll be included in A24!

[Nescio]

By the way, it would be nice if you could also create their wild counterpart, the aurochs (Bos taurus primigenius), which is now extinct (since the 17th C AD), but was still quite common in Europe in our timeframe; its numbers decreased in Late Antiquity due to habitat loss and demand for Roman games (the Romans introduced bull-fighting to France and Spain).
