Description
EDIT(05/31/13): Made slight modifications to the skin, as suggested by .
This model's a concept for the Fossil / Archaeology Mod by Flammarilva. You can view his thread here: [link]
Oh hey! Another mob model!
Moas, like the previous dodos, are flightless. Of course, that should be obvious just from the fact that it lacks wings. What it lacks in flight however, it makes up with strong leg power. Does that mean what you think it means? Yes, it does. You can ride these over-sized kiwis. Do bare in mind you won't be getting the same blistering speed as the ornithomimus mob, or even the Mo'Creatures ostrich. It's still a fairly fast enough to evade hungry carnivores though.
Speaking of which, moas will flee at the sight of any of the meat-eating mongrels. These birds are very nervous regarding becoming the next entree. Striking just one will cause a chain reaction, making all surrounding moas scatter.
Thankfully, you can farm them like their smaller bird cousins. Just fence them up, and they won't be going anywhere. Cooked moa is a delicious substitute for your everyday steak meals. You can even grab their eggs as well, if given the chance. Just don't go throwing them too often! They're pretty hard to come by!

I'm happy that you paid attention to the blue neck, which seems to be accurate based on fossil evidence

I hope the fossil and archeology mod does one of raptorfarians models next because he stopped modeling his last model was a sentry bird

A little bit off-topic, but he hasn't stopped modelling you know.

I need to ask a question: What do you use to make these mobs and then how do you get them into your game so you can take a screenshot?
π: 0 β©: 1
Photoshop + Techne (Minecraft modeling program). The pictures themselves aren't actually the models in game. I just added them in through editing screenshots in Photoshop.

I have an idea! How about making a Megalodon Mob?
π: 0 β©: 1
There is already one, in the Paleocraft mod. It wasn't made by Dragonith though.

May I ask what you use to make these...I've got my model saved...but how do you get on a background like you have here?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
The model was Photoshop'd into a background I screenshoted in-game. Simple, really.Β

"there do I find textures like these or can you make your own?"

Everything from the template to the model (skin/texture included) I made myself.

Could you make the model of an aquatic creature?
Personally, I'd be happy if you'd make an Archelon model. A rideableΒ substituteΒ to the Plesiosaur!

Hey Dragonith! Here's an Idea for you! For your F/S mod make more sauropods like Diplodocus and Saltasaurus and the Apatosaurus, and more horned and armored dinosaurs.

Sauropods are definitely some mobs I've been thinking about doing. Soon enough, hopefully.

Moa's a sweet, Are you going to add there predators like Haast's Eagles.
π: 0 β©: 1
Eventually, maybe.

Bro, this is great!!! No, scratch that. Its amazing!! I believe in you Dragonith!!! Keep up the good( awesome amazingly) work!!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
This sounds like something Minecraft really needed, dinosaurs. That'd be really cool to have a lost world biome that you have to discover like a cave.
The idea of this bird sounds badass too, I want a moa now!! XD

I've missed your minecraft models
The model and texture also look better then that moa I designed a while ago (it was one of my personal failures XD)

Hasn't the Fossil/Archaeology mod been discontinued?
π: 0 β©: 2
The original mod, yes. However, another team has taken the mod under their wing:

I'm sorry, I'm not really liking this particular model personally.
There's just something about the head and neck that puts me off for some reason.
I quite like the body though. I feel I'd be more comfortable if it didn't have a head, I think it might be the eyes.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm, well if you have any suggestions on improving it, I'll happily hear them out. Admittedly, I couldn't really decide on a good eye color (it was originally orange red, but that looked a bit ominous).
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I was thinking a dull yellow might fit, though it's just mainly that the eye is too bright for the skin I think.
I was also thinking the skin overall is a bit dull, you could always take some inspiration from other ratites such as the Cassowary and Emu or this Elephant bird reconstruction on Tethys Coast [link] . It doesn't need to have blue necessarily, but a bit of colour would possibly be appreciated.
As I remember (take it with a grain of salt, I'm probably wrong) the moa and kiwi diverged from other ratites fairly early, though shortly after diverged from each other, so there's probably not much that any other ratites can really tell you about it's colour.

Ere' we go: [link]
Added a bit of blue to the lower chin/neck and turned the eyes yellow.
π: 0 β©: 1
It works I suppose, just a more dull light blue eye would possibly work just as well.
Anyways have you thought of differences between the adults and juveniles, like you see in Emu and Cassowary? (I don't know how difficult that sort of thing is to implement coding wise for mobs.)
π: 0 β©: 2
Mm, well I changed the eyes according to your suggestion of a dull yellow. I suppose swapping it back to blue will do then.
The F/A mod incorporates this to an extent actually, with reskins of juvenile and adult dinosaurs. So, this would also be pretty easy to do.

Emu eggs have a good colour: [link]
(Not sure as to how that could apply, but it's a good colour.
π: 0 β©: 1
Could easily recolor the current egg to such, so that's not a problem really.~
π: 0 β©: 0
Alrighty, I'll make adjustments to the eyes.
The skin I actually based off this image: [link]
It would've been a lot more duller actually if I didn't add that second layer of brown over it. >w>;
But, I'll see if I can throw some Cassowary into the mix. Will reply to you with a preview image when its ready.

When I saw that reconstruction on Wikipedia beforehand I thought to myself, "Yep, that's the one he used."
Irrelevantly:
I quite like this reconstruction: [link]
