Hello
I am a total animation newbie who wants to show his children how the dragon_adult in Sintel flies. I downloaded the Dragon .zip and found 2 files
dragon_adult_cycles
dragon_adult
The first is a very simplified model with a sophisticated rig that has a flying cycles. The other is a model with textures.
How does one attach the 2 together to make the full model do the cycling?
Also, when I link the dragon_adult_cycles into a new blender file, I am unable to parent the linked file to an empty so that I can move it in the scene. Why is this?
I am sure that these a very naive questions …
Thank you
I would recommend using the simplified version on Blendswap. The version on the disk has a heavy multiresolution and will destroy your computer when rendering unless its a monster computer. Plus that one has been grouped – to use it, just append the group named “Dragon” (or scales I can’t remember) and you are set to go. Also append the text file called “rig_ ui” if you want the controls for the bones.
The blendswap file looks like what I need. Thank you.
