Posing
🕑 Added 2025-11-17 02:01:08 +0000 UTCI've talked before about being able to pose the dragon in the dragon creator, which I'll further elaborate on in this post. The idea is to have two modes that you can switch between, editing and posing. When editing, you can change the features of the dragon like usual by swapping parts, morphing, etc, similar to what has been shown so far. When switching over to posing, you instead get control points spread across the body that can be moved to easily change the pose. It gets automatically set up for the specific body so that you get natural poses by just moving a few key areas where you want them, like specifying where a foot should be without having to manually rotate the leg bones to get there, or having the neck automatically adjust to where you want the head to be.
The pose then gets saved with the dragon so that every dragon has its own unique pose, letting its personality shine through. It might appear later in the game at different places where a particular dragon is featured, like if there is a dragon bestiary with depictions for example.

The more I see of the details you're adding, the more my mind swirls with the possibilities of what i can make!!

Yes, and the size is very small! For the pose it only needs to save the locations/rotations of the control points, everything else gets calculated at runtime
