@Lord Nyriox was asking about these animations on Discord.  I started playing with it and couldn't stop 

I used Blender 3d, Gyro's script, and my animation splitter to get this done.

The walk animation was the only one that really needed a lot of tweaking.
In addition, I used some physics stuff in blender to make the tail move and then saved it as keyframes.

It took me a while to remember how to setup the physics stuff. I haven't done it in quite a few months.

Updated:  It doesn't work with the original mesh, so I included an updated mesh to go with the skeletons.

Sorry, @Vkoslak, but it appears that the bones are all out of order somehow. 

A quick preview in Dusho's Torchlight Mesh Viewer shows the limbs all crossed. 

Can you somehow fix it? 


Thanks for your help.  :} 

I updated the first post to have a new zip with the fixes.

@Vkoslak, @Phanjam: 

I went ahead and polished the model data (so it can be used in a mod right away).

First of all, I added all the "other" Mana Guardian model data (materials, animation-registry, etc). 

I spliced in the animation-registry from the Siege Guardian (removing any irrelevant data, such as the Siege Guardian's "idle" and "bind" animations, and the "hide/show material" events). 

I rebuilt and optimized the Mesh and Skeleton data using OgreXMLConverter and MeshMagick (so the model should be both version-matched and more efficient). 

Finally, I fixed the "bind" animation to actually have the correct properties: name="Bind" and length="0" (same as every other Torchlight base skeleton). 


I tested my edited model with a modified copy of the "Playable Siege Guardian" mod.  My patched version plays just fine. 


Aside:  Call me weird, but for whatever reason, the Mana Guardian seems far more "sexy" to me than any other TL1/TL2 model I have seen. 

Even the TL1 Zealot is barely a shadow in relation to it, as far as I am concerned.  ;} 

Fine with me.

Thanks @Vkoslak and @Lord Nyriox, and nice work !
