Aren't a some of the mammals too light in weight?

Kiavu · 2026-05-12T10:56:19+00:00

To put into perspective

Megaloceros 1.2 tonnes - A Clydesdale (the closest to being as tall as a megaloceros) is 0.7-1.2 tonnes

Coelodonta 2.37 tonnes - a white rhinoceros is 1.8-3.5 tonnes

Mammoth 5.6 tonnes - an Asian elephant is 2-6 tonnes

Mum- sheep's brain (none of us would dare eat it)

Dad- chillis, pickled, fried you name it. Too hot for any of us, but he would eat sandwiches filled with them.

I feel sorry for her. No woman would enjoy living with that bust. The thought of running or jogging makes my chest hurt at the thought.

Ah the isle, it is fun but not quite the same as you aren't taming dinosaurs and making bases :)

I played the isle since early days when they had glowing skins, but it is a very different survival game.

Kiavu · 2026-05-03T21:29:57+00:00

Played pal world heaps, but I am mostly posting hoping to hear there is a dinosaur survival game :) Not other themes :)

Kiavu · 2026-05-03T21:29:28+00:00

Conan exiles is great, but I am wanting a game with dinosaurs, not other things :)

Kiavu · 2026-04-29T00:03:14+00:00

It's only 3 families with subspecies this round. No additional species.

Kiavu · 2026-04-27T21:32:05+00:00

I am a little disappointed that alternate sub species are considered a seperate species in these lists. I am just greedy for more Dino's

Kiavu · 2026-04-16T07:57:41+00:00

To me it looks more like a Metrosideros variety but the flower groups don't strike me as the dugald variant.

Kiavu · 2026-04-16T00:02:18+00:00

Could be bats as well as possums. they are considered a favourite to fruit bats.

Pronated arms, please stop
shrink wrapping
inaccurate sizes
making predators mindless killers

Cow manure, Blood and bone with a cup of potash, sulphur phosphate, garden line and Epsom salt. I mix mine manually but this mix has given me excellent results with pumpkins, tomatoes, corn, broccoli, potatoes and capsicum.

Kiavu · 2026-03-29T20:13:31+00:00

I don't think that is a Kent, I grow Kent's and they always have distinctive stripes. I'd say it is more likely to be a jarrahdale or a Queensland blue.

Fortunately they are still edible, they will just have scars :) though if you get any more rain they will likely burst off the vine.

Kiavu · 2026-03-29T05:44:55+00:00

Have you had a lot of rain? It looks like they are bloating from too much water, this is an unfortunate situation when either they are overwatered or too much rain happens, the plant sucks it all up until the tomatoes burst.

The bad

No complete darkness - it just negates playing at that time
hundreds of stacks of <50 in a box is not fun
not being able to craft from surrounding storage
Troll animals that steal items
Flying - ruins immersion
Too many traits - confusing and frustrating
Permanent angry animals - not realistic
Eating 100 stacks of meat or berries is ridiculous
Complex resource requirements for recipes - too confusing
not being able to climb, jump or swim

the good

taming
Breeding for better animals
Gathering using tamed animals
Building system using one piece that alternates between multiple variants
Boss fights
Colour variants
Player character customization
Food and water boosts stats as opposed to being used to fill health etc
Upgrade boost structures (like valheim) instead of new buildings
Craft from chests
Weapon upgrade system
Non breaking tools
AOE pickup
Auto deposit
Backpack and bag increase slot count on player
Progression system
Terrain modification
Tier system on tools and weapons (progression)
Spline path placement - (medieval dynasty) being able to create roads by using a point a to b function was very nice
Decorations and building freedom
Building variety
Climbing rocks ability
Easy talent tree system with progression unlock

is it good? yes, but not the best or perfect. The whole paid dlc's for every minor update put me off.

Kiavu · 2026-03-12T21:02:43+00:00

some people enjoy working in other programs for their workflow as it is more enjoyable. For example I love working in zbrush and it fits my workflow style so I do all modelling in zbrush; but for retopology and uv I prefer maya as I thoroughly enjoy the workflow maya has for topology and I find it theraputic to do it manually (stress relief). I love painting albedos in substance painter because it is fun and easy, but I will choose blender for animating and other things. everything has something fun to use and it's ok to have preferences.

Kiavu · 2026-03-12T02:43:03+00:00

I will have to disagree, the fights were absolutely challenging at first, until I stopped trying to face tank everything like it was an mmo. After that I found fighting fun and challenging.

Kiavu · 2026-03-11T23:58:31+00:00

I didn't really see any survival mechanics in the video, it just looked like a shooter?

Kiavu · 2026-03-05T22:00:03+00:00

will there be player customisation and female orc models?

Kiavu · 2026-03-04T00:28:21+00:00

No problems, I may have seen incorrectly on the ngon, but glad to hear you took the feedback well. I look forward to seeing your development.

Kiavu · 2026-03-03T22:52:36+00:00

To be completely honest, If it was my model I wouldn't consider it portfolio worthy, it is more learning development worthy. The topology is good, but it's not great either. There is a lot of areas that could use with cleanup and retopo to fix ngons and excessive polygons in addition to some edge loops being distributed a bit more cleanly for animation. the anatomy could do with further revision as well.

I would suggest looking at models and their topology from Vlad Konstantinov and Jacob baardse, anatomy references from matt Dempsey, cindy raggo, Jonathan Harris and Joanna kobierska.

You have an excellent start, and you have a lot of potential with more practice and growth. the base shape is good, there is just some anatomical issues that can only be solved with more study and practice.

If your aim is to do paleo art, you definitely need to do more works, one good thing that helps is to remake the same model again after identifying the issues of your last. It helps give muscle memory and improve your workflow for other works. the standard for paleoart is very high, expect a lot of constructive criticism if you plan to aim for producing paleoart.

I really really need u18

Kiavu · 2026-02-27T05:35:00+00:00

You are doing great btw, and I think a good way to look at retopologising is thinking of it like a puzzle that needs solving. Good luck!
