3D) ]Klyros

[Moogie]

Long tails on land animals are primarily used for balance. In fast-moving predators they also serve as a rudder to turn sharply while running at speed (but only if the bones are fused). Tails also serve as a counter balance for some species of animal, particularly if they would be top-heavy without one.

The point is, a Klyros\' tail would most likely be somewhat flexible, as it would also help with swimming. It\'s likely that having the wings directly attatched to it would cause problems in flight, such as the whole body becoming unbalanced, or being completely unable to steer.

I would then say that Klyros arn\'t built for sustained flight like that, and the tail attatchment should be fine. But the wings on this model are far too huge to just serve as \'gliding\' equipment, so let\'s not even go there...

Maybe... I was expecting the tail to have highly powerful muscles that would serve to hold it in place. There wouldn\'t be much strain on it during normal flight, as the wings will move up and down synchroneously, but there might be problems when turning sharply, since then the wings would be involved to give extra propulsion / repulsion (and thusly be moved in almost opposite directions at any given time). Maybe if the tail was as thick as the legs are, it\'d have enough power to do so...

We\'ve been through all this already, just coming from the opposite direction.

is the klyros goin to fly or glide? If it were to fly then we could put points into body develoment and we would fly longer but have to come down, then you have to wait double the time you flew to be able to take off again, and lifting off of a flat surface might make you air time less because it put\'s great strain on the wings.






personally i would LOVE to be able to fly and like...i don\'t know.........not just float but actually fly....

[Seytra]

Krahan, you obviously didn\'t bother to read this thread, since otherwise you\'d have found that

- there was, despite the relatively clear, albeit short wording on the race description, some confusion on this matter (I hope you did at least read the description)
- this confusion has been mostly removed
- the current conclusion is that they actually can fly
- that the body development idea has been proposed and received well already

If you, however, didn\'t even bother to read the description, I\'d rather not see you in-game. :tdown:

Ya usually it helps to read the starting of the thread. Then you dont get people complaining about what you say. Tips for the future.

[Krahan]

sorry lol i was a little confused and yes i read every single races discription...sorry again

Hi Zeraph, I was looking at this post, and I just got 3D Studio Max... and I was wondering, could you post the current model in that format for all of us?

I sincerely apologize if it was already provided or asked for.

I don\'t think he is going to release it just yet.  You don\'t want other people messing around with your models when you are still working on them (especially if this is going to be in-game).

:emerald:

[Adeli]

No he definitely won\'t... it\'s not finished, he\'s going to try and submit it, so yeah.
Plus, he\'s busy testing CB like you Arcane.
