I thought you all might find this interesting:

Making a mob variant is as easy as copying the .an8 file and making your changes. Unfortunately Anim8or isn't very good for UV mapping, so I use Ultimate Umwrap 3D for that, and I import the object back into Anim8or when I'm done (with the extra step that UU3D reverses the polygon normals for some reason so I have to flip them when I re-import back into Anim8or).

One major driver for making a gnoll is that my test database that I plan on releasing with SimpleClient has gnolls infesting the Canyons of Gur, and for the moment I have the hook horror models taking their place. When I have proper gnolls the hook horrors will take their rightful place somewhere underground...

Damn good so far. I should check and see if you need help with texturing. I may have some time - if you need.

I'm a pretty poor texturer :( What you're seeing is the very best I can churn out. If you would like to help perhaps I can post what I have online somewhere...
