Emerald Garuda is one of three major temporary Summoner pets that does a single large attack. When summoned, it will perform Aerial Blast.
Emerald Garuda has several technical details that need to be considered when creating a replacement.
Emerald Garuda is classified as a flying/floating creature.
Emerald Garuda is affected by in game /petsize commands.
Emerald Garuda has 1 to 1 scaling. Any creature that is used to replace it will be its true size when set to Large.
An Emerald Garuda replacement generally involves several basic parts
Model replacement
Skeleton replacement
Binder replacement
Idle Animation replacement
Spawn Animation, VFX, and SFX replacements
Despawn Animation, VFX, and SFX replacements
Aerial Blast Animation, VFX, and SFX replacements
In addition to the basic parts of the replacement, there are often other factors to consider that are more advanced edits
Scaling the model, skeleton, animations, and binders.
Shifting factors necessary for putting a terrestrial creature onto a flying/floating summon. This requires three versions of the summon to account for the three /petsize commands.
Emerald Garuda does not have attachment settings. So when replacing it with a creature that is supposed to wield a particular weapon, the weapon has to be located and manually attached and weighted to the skeleton to be added to the model.
Some creatures, like Demi-humans, have multiple separate pieces that are combined by the game to give them variety. These parts have to be combined together to use as a replacement.
When thinking about what kind of creature you want to use for a replacement, think about some details about the creature.
Does it have any attack animations? Mounts do not usually have attack animation unless they are a variant or used in combat somewhere in the game. This can make creating a replacement far too difficult to execute well, which may result in me turning down the commission request.
Does the creature have particular attacks that you already know of that you can see replacing particular abilities that the summon has?
$15
If you're still interested in commissioning a creature replacement, and want an idea of price, I've thought of a base price to set for a basic replacement of the basic parts indicated above.
If the creature you want to use for the replacement requires more advanced editing and work, a higher price might need to be negotiated based on the complexity of the following.
Scaling
Shifting
Model combination
Weapon Attachment
