Update!: Made a few more animals (Elephant, Giraffe, Rhino, and Penguin) that are not rideable, but will be in a future zoo level I would like to make (Not going to say "going to" because then I would probably lose interest like most people do. Also gained interest in creating more Sackboy-sized vehicles like my convertible and old truck. Sorry I haven't posted my pictures yet, I have them on my Ps3, but I cannot get to the USB drive right now to get them from there to my PC. I also need to take some pictures of the new ones and upload them. Or should I simply make a level to show them off so people can play it and look at them? *original post* Alright, so right now I have a small group of rideable animals. The first ones were in my Racing at the Barbeque level, but I have expanded to a few others. These ones also run a lot better and don't have one-layer-thick legs. Basically, they are made mostly from theck and thack, trying to make them as thing as possible while still having them do what I want. They movements are not complex, just wobble bolts set to the correct speed and tweaked right. But, these have turned out great. The only "cheating" I have done has been using pieces of invisible glass to keep the critters from falling over when they run/crawl/hop. Creatures so far: Ant: 1 thick layer, 1 thin Horse: 1 theck, 1 thack, 1 thin Ostrich (yes, really): 1 theck, 1 thack, 1 thin Kangaroo: 2 thin, 2 theck, 1 thack More info on creature: Ant: This was my first running creature, I had no intention of making it originally. It began as a set of chattering teeth with a balloon attached. It would bounce and "run" across the level. I got more and more into tweaking it to make a creature, changing the teeth to legs, and getting rid of the balloon to add balance. Then I just set the wobble bolts on the legs to a high speed, low angle and it went amazingly! It was so funny that I had to go and make a level for them just to show others. Horse: After a while, I decided to make another animal. A horse, but not one of the bigger-than-normal ones you would see in some levels, but one that is close to scale for a sackperson. This animal was the first I used theck-thack material on, but it went easily enough. It took maybe an hour or so to get the legs to go at the right speed for it to run, but once I got them to work it was great! It even made a galloping sound when it was on cardboard (hooves are metal). But after a while of making covered wagons and carts to attach them to I grew bored of them. I wanted to make a Western level, but lost interest. Then, I thought to myself "What else do people ride..... Ah-ha! Ostriches!" Ostrich: It's an ostrich, in LBP.... Anyways, I made this one quickly after getting use to making them from the horses. So, I just added an oval-ish body, a long neck, a pointed beak, and some legs to test it. It ran a good bit faster than the horse did! So, I expanded on it: changing the body, adding the tail feathers, adding wings that would "flap" as it ran, and making it look nice with stickers. The ostrich was fun to ride after making the horse, but again, I lost interest. Kangaroo: This one required more layers than the others because I needed legs to hop and I had to have it where you (the sackperson) would ride the Kangaroo from it's belly pouch. Just finishing this character about 2 hours ago (it's 4 AM now. ), it is hilarious to ride. The pouch is a bit difficult to hop into at first, but it works well. The kangaroo itself is awesome and should be fun for others to ride. Now, I have a problem. I'm out of ideas! What other animals would people like to see made into rideable animals?

Sounds cool. I'll take a look asap. How about the 'Big Cats' like cheetah ( not rocket ones ! ), tiger etc. Elephant. Giraffe. Pig.

I plan on hopefully getting some pictures up on Sunday/Monday. I have work ALL WEEK LONG except thursday, which is a sleep day. I may stay up way late (like I am now) and make a level or something to put them in. I hope people see me as one of the "outside the box" thinkers in LBP, making wacky fun stuff for people to enjoy.

Updated a bit, I've made a few more animals, and even a new sackboy-sized car. Level coming soon, hopefully.
