I found a model on the internet that I want rigged for Garry's Mod. Can you do that? http://www.mediafire.com/?tbi1ec7m3dftqq2

Luna? oogaboogaman might rig it, along with others.
"Pony_model_luna" oh god..
Yes. It's spreading like a virus. You will be assimilated into the herd. Resistance is futile.
oogabogaman on dA? He's been pretty unresponsive. Probably schoolwork.
He has an account on Facepunch.
Luna released already? Damn. I'm already working on Celestia...![]()
Where will you release them?
Probably Equestria Daily again.
If you can, send a note to me on dA with a link to them. :)
Lyra and Bon-Bon have also been released, but I don't know how long they have been out and they are all in pose 0.

If those two follow the same pony template (Which looks like they do) they should be easy to rig/add to the collection.
o.o how long does it take you to rig those things cause they did lyra and bon bon too
I've already said about Lyra and Bon-Bon.
Just let him get on with it. The less people that ask him about it means that he will get it done quicker.

These are reskins of many background ponies. I'm not sure if Lyra and Bon Bon are there.
If they are, you can use those for now until the others are rigged.
Yeah, but my many reskins are look-a-likes, so... you decide.
Lyra and Bon-Bon are in that pack.
Man, now my inbox is going to be flooded with updates from this thread.
That's if people keep on posting to this thread, especially oogaboogaman.
Well she compiles, barely, but she's like 50 million polygons. Not sure if possible to make outline version.

I got a count of 16,632 on the low poly version of her. Think you could try that version for the outlines?
you may also want to look into removing hidden polygons that have no chance of being seen. Ex: The inner part of Celestia's Chest plate thing.
Wow I totally overlooked the low poly version. Thanks, makes rigging this much easier.
I'll see how smoothing this goes.
KP-ShadowSquirrel is apparently working on a enhanced Derpy model (few extra polygons maybe?) and a Trixie model after he makes the complete poses for Celestia and Luna. Also bringing to question that would the hat and cape that she has be body groups or seperate props if they were made and ported to GMod.

The textures on the model look pretty good.
I'm thinking that making a Nightmare Moon model was be just a simple reskin of Celestia.
I doubt It'll be that simple as she'll need her armor.
In the mean time, I'm making a Nyx ragdoll by using pices from Lyra, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash, and modifying them where necessary.
I can try to make NM, if i have free time.
oogaboogaman, can you port trophies? This is will be quite useful, i think.
I can as a prop. Though, I have no idea what size they should be.
Hmm... probably like a mane six.
I cannot rig them as a ragdoll because it would take far too much time and work due to the model being asymmetrical and not following the other mane 6 pony template.
And i think need as prop, not ragdoll, and if that will be difficult, leave the same size as they are created.
-snip-
The original model would look slightly better due to Garry's Mod's, well, modeling. You CAN make hi-res reskins, but ponies are highly animated in their show. Thus, having alot of polygons and joints. This makes for quite a large file, so having it be a little more low-res would be better.
I can't see how a cartoon animation affects the balance and flexibility of 3D models, I know that in the show that the characters are pretty flexible depending on what they do.
What size is that? Do you have a reference? Or should I make it the same size as the other ponies?
I'm guessing he means that they should be the same size as the mane 6, and maybe a 2nd set where they are down sized and as big as the Saxxy trophy.
Alright got the low res rigged and she's eye-poseable. She's also 2x easier to pose than the mane six, since I've tried to optimize the hell out of it.
Not sure what to do about the hair and tail... I think there will be too many bones. Maybe make them separate models or something. (Currently she doesn't have poseable hair or tail.)
I'm liking the work you have done so far!, by the way.. the way that Celestia looks at the camera just makes me feel... uneasy... (Molestia?)
OMGOMG IS PRETTY! Sorry. Couldn't hold myself for awhile. I think you should make the hair jiggly bones. That should be equal to, say, the amount of joints in Pinkie Pie (her hair's posable, so I'm using her as an example)
Jigglebones are not the best idea for a model with hair that big.
Good point. But imagining Celestia without hair? *shudders* I think I'd rather be banished to the moon for 1000 years then see that. But, do what you have to do.
Jigglebones aren't practical for ragdolls. Maybe only if they are npcs or playermodels.
I also might be able to fit enough bones for the hair and tail in one model because of optimization.
I'm guessing the Luna model is going to be a little bit of a copy/paste of some of the bones and flexes from the Celestia model or something.
