Models, Spider, Fem Dermorian, Stonebreaker?

[Gentar]

I just downloaded the wallpaper of the spider and the sewers and the exploring planeshifters, along with some of the other renderings and got to thinking. Since they have these 3d models, of such things as the Spider, The Female Dermorian, and the Stonebreaker, why dont they go ahead and put them in the game. I realize thats harder than it sounds but since they have the models, isnt that half the work done right there?

Also, speaking of models, are the modelers no longer with the team, because we havent seen a new one, other than the Klyros, since Crystal Blue was released. Perhaps they are waiting to release them for the next version? I dont know, I was just wondering. I may not know something that others do, so please inform me otherwise.

This has been stated several times alright, but... ;)

The old models couldn\'t be reused with the new skeletal system, so they had to be recreated, I believe from nearly scratch. It\'s a lot harder than it sounds.

Well thats interesting. does this mean that they will have to remake them once again when newer versions come out, or have they thought further ahead this time.

hopefully people would think they are wise enough to stick with the same system... but we\'ll see.

As Karyuu said, old models are kaput with the new workings used in CB, and as we haven\'t seen new models, not that we should because you will get them when Talad decides you get them, there is no 3D team from what i am aware of, Djagg and Erik stopped for their own reasons, of which i don\'t know about so don\'t bug

however we do have Cherppow, who is still learning blender, but kicks 3d ass none the less, plenty of people try to contribute, so we\'re not out of luck one that end, I too am trying to learn 3d with 3dsmax, but it\'s proving a pita to figure out this converting and stuff, I\'ll get there eventually, maybe do a few things for PS
