I would not call the models a "disjointed mess" but they do need a lot of refinement. To be honest, I never liked the dragon models. I had given thought to rebuilding the whole model and skeleton and animations from scratch but that is far more work than I ever had time for.
I can't really reveal what I was working on. Just leave it that I have not given up on it and will chip away at what I need to do to get it in. The only thing that I will say is that they would have been some new appearance options which has been hinted at before.
I'll tease you a little bit with something. This is a personal project of mine that I have been chipping away at every so often for months. But I hope that sometime it might be used in some way if I can complete and animate it. It grew out of and continues from when I was adapting all the various head models to the khutit body. Just a tease, nothing more.
Frith, Thanks.
