Dino-Instinct News

[Azlan]

Dino-Instinct pits teams of dinosaurs against each other, with several different gameplay modes proposed. Such as herbivore vs. carnivore and what have you. They have released a few models to show the public. [br]

Seems like a interesting idea.

 

[B-MAn]

look and sounds good

 

[EVIL]

talk about bad unwrapping, stretch marks everywhere, and the models are pretty low poly to, for the HL² engine you would be able to pump the poly's up 2 times as much

Watch out Evil, you may get flamed.

We only flamed you because you made an obvious stupid remark, and Evil has a point.

 

[Betelgeuze]

It looks realy good, I hope they make it

^^ quote from someone.

As long as Jurassic Park isn't a reality we can make bright red dinos with red trim if we want to. There simply is nothing known about their skin color.

Did you ever think that it migt be a Blue-Team skin?

And yeah, the skinning looks a bit crap tbh.

True, we don't have knowledge of skin colors. We do however have this thing called "logic". A predator is not going to have bright colors like that, it would be far too easy for prey to spot it. Camouflage = easier food, therefore they are far more likely to have had plant-ish colors than bright blue stripes, that's evolution for you. Just look at pretty much any modern day predator. Same goes for a herbivore, it gains little by being an obvious target.

Of course, if you can find me, say, a species of crocodile with bright yellow skin and pink spots, I stand corrected. If not, then you have to admit there are things known, or at least almost certain, but you're simply choosing not to use the knowledge. Which is fine of course, it's your mod after all.

By the way, MaxiKana's post is quoted from a sarcastic remark I made on irc. Don't take it too seriously.

Hence the ""

I found it pretty funny though.

 

[Garfield_]

Whats wrong with blue dinos ?
it think its good, when you see it from our perspective ( humans with rifles ). Atleast we can see him in the woods, who are often green. :>

 

[Cruor]

If I want dinosaurs I'll stick with this mod.

I work with Dino-Instinct if you don't already know. Just a FYI.


Those are HL1 models, we were testing some new textures on old models to see how it would turn out.

 

[mattgirv]

Uhm, if its a herbivore surely it won't be interested in attacking other dinosaurs.. I think they will have to reilliterate the story of this mod.

 

[Jrgsubzero]

As self defense it would attack another dinosaur.

 

[fearian]

is it me, or is the one on the right looking camp?

'oookaaayyy darling! you look FABulous!'

just the 'claw' gesture really...

Like the Chamealeon, Tree Frog, Gecko and Manta? How about the Tiger?

stfu :cheers:

anyways, those look AWSOME. i love the freaky deaky colors, maybe a bit too neonish and not realistic camoflauge, but hey, its a game, and in a fighting game , you jsut want to duke it out.

love the idea, theres been alot of dino mods but sadly none of them will let you play as dinos, this rox.

I hope ya'll have 1st and 3rd person combat will keep an eye on this one

 

[Jrgsubzero]

Thanks polyguns

Raptors had feathers like birds and a lot of collors to attract females

The latest descovery shows that even the T-rex had feathers!
