You can make ANY island spider island if you do the following: - chop all trees and remove stumps - pick all flowers (pick, not uproot) - remove all rocks - night time only (past 7 worked for me) - dump resources on beach - clear island of all bugs = spiders spawn

We made a game with 151 unique fish, all designed by 1 concept artist. Not a single one has any resemblance to a pokemon. The fact that Palworld has similarities isn't due to some lack of creativity, but entirely due to intent to stir controversy and marketing.

I went through the entire 111 list of Pals in Palworld to see what seems like a Pokémon rip off compared to not, because I’ve seen a lot of people talk about it but no full comprehensive list. Here’s what I found (it’s a lot) 🧵

This entire thread pains me. An animation is not transferable from model to model if the rig is any way different. You can’t copy paste an animation like that. Even 1 polygon of difference on a mesh requires redoing the rigs weight distribution, so stop nitpicking SHEESH

Ai gen video and images are capitalisms response to their inability to lower artist cost further. So they relegate to illegally collecting work to produce more at basically no cost. It serves no purpose but to cheat the public and steal from artists. Fight it

Also tip: you don’t need to rush spiders, when they stand, wait while holding A and when the relax/drop you can approach closer, they stand again, wait again and then approach more

So 👏 Did further testing of the frame based pipeline. And it works perfectly with rigged models animated in maya no problemo! nearly plug and play :D I have one last fairly complex animation to do and then i'll consider this whole style 100% usable going forward ^_^

And for the record. The fact that they could recreate an older animation and improves on its quirks is just solid art direction and animation work. The world of Pokémon has its own expressions and mannerisms. Making a new animation to express the same thing can take away from it
