Have you searched for hours and hours, looking for a way to properly animate your entities? Well look no further! The AnimationAPI is a mini-library that allows modders to (more) easily animate their entities.
Information
Although the AnimationAPI is supposed to be easier for modders to use, it still is quite complicated, so a tutorial has been made to guide you modders along the way. For other information, you can check the rest of the wiki.
Examples
Can't believe unless you see it? Check out these photos and a video by ThnxCya of some of my animated mutant creatures.

We have decided to take a short break from the mod until we get a new coder.
If you are an experienced coder and are interested please pm me.

We have been taking a short break. I have done a few models and textures. We are starting up again now.
1
For now the models are final. At some point (when we get a coder who is good at rendering and animating) we will redo the rendering and animations.
Yes. Using the staff you can change in between human and dragon.

collect gold to add to your hoard. The end result should be a mod that
allows you to be a Dragon and it should be fully Multiplayer compatible,
along with a few different functions in the mod itself (attacking
custom villages and towns, fighting the king boss, leveling up with
coins and much more).

Just thought I'd mention that I updated the thread and cleaned it up a bit. If look around a bit you can get a few sneak peaks at what's coming soon.
1
Small update!
We have added the Skeleton Dragon with Invisibility.
We also added a new funtcion where you start off as a player and have turn into a dragon (the silver dragon) using a staff.
I have modeled and textured the Water Dragon and textured the Gold Dragon.
I will add pics and update the thread ASAP.
1
Both of those are planned for the dragon/combat update. As we stated before we weren't focusing on the 3rd person view until we add more dragons.
1
v0.2.0 is out.
The thread hasn't updated to download so I guess we'll just have to wait. If you can't wait go here: http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/229166-draco-animus-dragon-soul
