OMG
Why?
The key :3
There are actually 3 models collectively.
The difference in these three models is the lag they cause. The first one is very blocky which almost creates no lag. Second one has more “curve-ness” which causes a big of lag. And at last, the third one which creates so much lag that I had 20 frames while making it as it is the smoothest one by far.

piggy one?
Yep, you guessed it right. The front view looks really weird and I still have to tweak some stuff.
okk (:
At first I saw a bomb 
oh my god you are HIM
And I finally finished the Piggly model!
I was really rushing with this model unfortunately, there are stuff I wanted to tweak but… The studies are coming on… And this is not a random year, it’s 3rd secondary, so I have to lock in.
The hardest stuff were basically everything, the nose, the body, the legs, I had to learn new stuff just to finish it, like:
- Sculpting for Body
- Boolen for Nose
- Unwrap, Texture Paint for Legs
- Screw for Tail
And the eyes are weird, making this weird front pose that I’m not sure if that’s how the original model look like…
Of course this model isn’t that the best thing.
You can still play around with the model, or even improve it!
I also added new extra section in the main topic, feel free to check it out!
Idk that piggly looks like piggy bank… -(actually I never see pigly just in CI2)
Here’s the original, just for reference:
Any thing which explain me whole game
nice
Similar to what I did with the logo. I was able to make a good eye template that’s even better than in the chicken models and way easier to pose:
I know these models looks basic but it’s a side thing to make your own characters (even outside CI) and make eye posing a little bit better.
Also, I was able to make some animations finally. What I still don’t know is how to export them.
Just updated few stuff, changed CI4 chicken lighting, added more stuff to the eye model:
For the eye, I just added eyebrows, eyelashes, that’s it.
I was planning for way more stuff than this but you it’s already look overwhelming, a single task takes way more time.
One of the stuff that I was forced to is making the body thinner that actually it’s in game. The beak is made in a different way than I thought, being an extruded triangle apparently.
I have a list of these tasks, if anyone can do some or even a few amount of them, it would be great and you probably will receive a surprise gift. (:
The tasks list
My to do list of the model remake:
- CI2 Chicken: Body Size, Shape, Better Clothes Topology, Fix Eyebrows inaccuracy, helmet adjustments
- CI3/4 Chickens: Better Clothes, More accurate body shape, Beak retweak, Addition of new eye models, Better Tounge. Fix Last Comb on the Back, Better Eyebrows.
- CI5 Chicken: Same as before, eye tilting required for accuracy, Apply Nosetrils. Better Tounge
- CI5 Sarge Chicken: Better Beak, Apply Nosetrils. Better Tounge
- Besrek/Normal Chick: Better Clothes, beak kinda, probably feather details
- Alchemist: Better hair needed, Eye Red things readjust to be farther
- Ships: Better engine details, Better Cockpit, Fix Back Connecter
- H&C Ship: Fixing weird side holders instead of being spheres.
- CI2 Ship: Better Cockpit, Background World Needed
- CI3 Ship: Better World Background + Fix Back Connector
- CI4: World Background again.
- Turkey: Fix Weird Red Comb on Nose, Apply Nosetrils. Probably add feather details.
- Feather Brain: Actual Remakes of Feathers, Bow, Head. Probably Add Feather Details
- Hen Solo: Better Alignment, Probably Background World needed
- Rabbit: Eyes, Cheeks fixes needed for more accuracy, probably fur details.
- Logo: Bevel Option enabled, curved bottom subtitle
- Piggly: Fix Eye tilting, add piglets clothes.
Other stuff:
- Make Joined objects parented instead.
- Make better obj formats.
- Better General Lighting
- Better Nostrils control using spheres
- Subdivision Surface is the key
Notes:
- The nosetril thing here is that the nosetrils will be there but they will be used in boolen of the beak and will be normally hidden, change the position for more controlable shapes (:
- The beak a triangle extruded to make sphere shape. I just make triangle, extrude it, to up and scale and then extrude down until a sphere shape.
- The Sarge Beak is just has the top stretched of the og but the bottom is more spherical but it gets narrower the further it gets from the head.
- Now I see how the lighting should work, strong one on the left and slightly weak one on the right!
If you finished these tasks you can send the edited model to me through a DM and then I apply it to the zip package. Good luck!
I didn’t mean actual new backgrounds what I meant is applying “the world” to an environment background, this is to test stuff like shininess of metallic objects (e.g CI2 cockpit)
These ones might be used if they gave better results than the originals bgs.
So, I got some stuff to say about the recent stuff, good news and bad news.
I’ve finally was able to make the chicken more accurate and also made the beak more accurate but with worse topology.
I was also able to separate the fingers of the wings so they can be more controllable:
Also, I was able to make the clothes lines with array modifier and curves. Took me a while to get the idea, It also can make rope like shapes. Otherside the new cloth system, I improved the eyelids to include shrinkwrap modifier so they don’t get inside they eyeballs.
This all looks good but I still have bad news, they may not be bad for you but I asked iA about the piggly front pose, this is how mine looks like:
And this is how it’s acctually its:
Yep, it’s really that different, I may have to read just the nose, body for this and maybe even use my new eye system here too.
There are stuff need to be remade entirely, probably ears, tail.
There are also plans for adjusting Piggly model to include piglet clothes and eventually, CI2 Piggly model.
And even better news, there are plans for burgermeister model, I already see it’s made of simple shapes. And with the new modifiers I learned recently (Screw, Array, Boolen) this may be easy.
For the little text “BurgerMeister 3000tm Space Burger Corp.”, I tried to search for the font but couldn’t find a matching one, but with the help of @VerMishelb, I was able to find a font that’s very similar to the one used:
There are differences in the numbers style, and how it’s stretched but I think it can do the job.
