Add diversity in population of mutants, now you could see various models size for several species. Small are funny, bigger are imposing.
Size is related to properties like health, resistance and dangerosity.
This is really cool. I have wondered in the past if there could be "alpha" versions of mutants that would be tougher than normal. Judging by the screenshot it looks like the "bigger" ones can have different skins? What about models? (maybe baby boars don't have tusks or something similar for example)
At this time, we only used differents sizes combined with vanilla textures (3 opus and builds ressources).
This big flesh and boar textures comes from SoC.
Like this, we have total of 12 variations for dogs as example (4 textures * 3 sizes), and i'm testing another model.
I don't know if i could edit geometry now. I didn't test it and i don't want to have problem with bones and/or animation.
Maybe we will search others textures or others models, it's a possibility.
But we can not add 20 or 30 models for each species.
The more variations the merrier.
