Varan

Description
ATTENTION, READ THIS CAREFULLY: This is a reupload. I did not make this, Ultimo did. I can not, and will not make what you tell me to, as I have virtually no experience in porting other than basic props like the Gotengo.

Also, please don't reupload this model elsewhere unless given express permission.

This isn't a playermodel, vehicle or an NPC. Whine, beg and/or moan about it, and you deserve every bit of snark, satire, sarcasm, disapproval and shaming you get.

Enter Varan, perhaps the most forgotten and underrated member of Toho's Kaiju library! Varan is a rather unusual creature, resembling a cross between a monitor lizard (which is also probably the origin of Varan's name, given that most monitors belong to the genus Varanus) and a flying squirrel.

In his original 1958 appearance, Varan was awoken by a scientific expedition and proceeded to wreak havoc on Japan, completely unbeatable due to his incredibly-armoured skin. He was eventually defeated after he consumed several bombs at Tokyo's Haneda Airport.

A second Varan appeared in Destroy All Monsters, where he was briefly seen in two shots. Varan hasn't been seen since.

Ultimo put a ton of work into making this model work and look good, so I wholeheartedly suggest that you make full use of this model.

Like most of the other models, Varan comes in four sizes. He's also got fingerposing (which you can improve with the Advanced Bone Tool) and a bone to move his jaw.

As always, you need to read Ultimo's original description for this.:

Behold, the very first model I've ever ported, remastered, and overhauled to actually look presentable. You'd need just look at the pictures to see the difference.

Also known as the "flying squirrel" kaiju, Varan is oddly able to glide using the flaps of skin along his arms and legs, Varan is nonetheless, a rather average kaiju. Still, he's a favorite among many fans.

Now I cannot stress why I've not ported this for gmod compatiblity before. That is because the model was initially stuck in a "flying pose" that I didn't like. After much tinkering, I've fixed the model into somewhat of a T-pose, and I've cleaned up the mesh for it. I've even rerigged the tail into a more straight pose with more bones to increase it's flexiblity and range of motion.

Like all my models, it comes in four sizes, and is gmod compactible.
Credit for the original model is MMDCharizard, who intially rigged and compiled it for MMD, and Kaxblastard, who ripped it from G: Unleashed

That's all for now.

Strange indeed, that. As for the movie, I'm definitely interested, yet cautious too. I really hope this doesn't bomb as films based on video games tend to do.

Looking at the first pic, I really do hope that there is a program in progressive work that gives low-texture models high definition details. And on a separate note, because I can’t seem to comment on your profile, any opinions on the Rampage Movie??

@STG - Fuck off. You know the rules.
