Rig?
No rig?
Hard to animate without rig, dude.

mooooooooooooar

Is there a rig for this or do I just use the autorigger?

We need more Tyranid models.

I get an error when loading up the model with a tongue, how do I fix this?

rig file?

im gonna give porting this fella to gmod a shot. hope no one minds. if they do, i wont release it publicly. if i am able to port it at all mind you

Can you try to port this to Gmod aswell?

it has a space hulk deathwing style to it

Couldn't you make the spawn position more of a T-pose? it's kinda hard to work with 'cause of that

nice :D

awesome!!!

'Bout time we got some 40k models on SFM.

@BlueFlyTrap Will you do other Tyranids models ? I would love to see the Trygon in SFM !

I've tried to use both auto-riggers on this model and I am unable to apply the rigs. I'm fairly confident that I'm creating the rig correctly, as I've done it successfully with extra-limbed models before. Any ideas on what I need to do?

I see, I see! This interaction between SFM and maya rigs seem to be buggy at best, huh? Seems like an interesting subject to do some research on. Let me know if I can help with anything :)

Hey, Id love to see what people do with this so if anyone uses it in a video or makes wallpapers, let me know! email is nicolettijulio@gmail.com

Thanks @Blueflytrap for gettin this up!

Mostly subtle adjustments of the jaw. Aside from lightly altering the weights here and there I ended up adding a second bone for the lower jaw. End of the tongue was re-weighted but I lost that with some file corruption and forgot to do it again.

Which doesn't sound so bad but the gaunt is actually 6 models compiled together to get around a really dumb bug source has involving mirrored uv seams. It's tedious to say the least.

Lack of source ik led me to change the axis of the arms to be a little bit more friendly to use.
Originally there were procedural bones added to each shoulder to help reduce some crumpling when twisted a good 180. Had to drop them as it needed 4 weights per verts and source maxes it at 3.

Nah I just don't have Maya. Plus no existing ik rik script for source will work on it either.

I do find odd your say of "lack of IK" since I just checked the file and every limb has IK handles / pole vectors and controls for them. Perhaps you were given a dated file?

Oh, I don't mind at all. I sent you an e-mail just now, mind telling me what those alterations were?

Well, mostly. I had to do a handful of alterations to make up for the lack of IK and slight reduction in heavy deformation.

Hope you don't mind.

That feeling when one of your rigs show up on the workshop

It's so beautiful 'o'

Dude this model is absolutely amazing, I really wanna see more Nids at such quality as this. I would use these as much as possible if I could animate very well!

Flytrap. You never fail to bring us amazing models!

Sexy.

"Let's see whose the real president now, BITCH!" Captain Falcon bellowed the car intercom, and used his presidental codes to arm the rocket tube with a mini-nuke. When it fired everyone was sure that this was the end of Samus, but just in time her boyfriend jumped in front of the missile and took the blast himself. Luckily, his suit was radiation-resistant, unfortunately the nukeblast damaged it beyond repair. Ridley was down, and so was Samus.
