Hey guys, just another quick model. I have been swamped with school work (no pun intended there) so the model and texture aren't at the highest quality, but i think they work well enough to be a distant scene setting model.

Ok first things off, this pack comes with all source files so go nuts on modifying it. Second the model has 3 animations. One idle, basically it sits on the shore wagging its tail. A idle swim, useful if you want a gator to swim in a straight line in the some water. Then the swimming curve, this makes the gator preform a sharp while swimming, perfect for that death pit you all have been wanting (wink wink Draco!).

Thats pretty much it. Thanks for checking it out!

Oh wait, be sure to check it out in action in this sweet vid yo.

Shame I removed my gator pit for my artpass map :p Any chance of a skybox version? Most of my water is in the skybox.

Pop open the .qc file and set the scale to 0.03125 instead of 0.5 and recompile.

Ahh, i should have included a skybox version. My bad guys, Draco is right on the money though, just do that for now if you want a skybox version. I will update it sometime with more animations and a skybox version.

I want to see this in action with some proper particles!
also the specular looks kinda weird to me. too plastic-ish imo

awesome stuff tho

Yeah, i played around with the phong a lot and couldn't get the right wet yet scaly setting i wanted. This is as close as i could get to how i imagined it looking and it still looks a bit plasticy.

Oh well, something to improve on in version two!:p

I gotta say a skybox version would be cool,but this model can use different skins.It is awesome but it needs work.Like maybe a skybox version with less detail and a skybox version with more detail.I think this is a great start.

I like it very much - i just want to see it eating a dirty spy - OM NOM NOM :D

Same here, all it needs to be able to do that is a chewing animation.
