History: Sinbad Model
Preview of version: 5
Sinbad is the name of our official Ogre mascot.
The 3D model was created by Zi Ye (aka omniter).
It contains a couple of animations and can be used for free in uncommercial projects.
In March 2009 omniter purposed his idea of a 3D model as Ogre mascot. After many months of development his model was published officially in January 2010. Since Ogre 1.7 it's part of the Ogre SDK.
The models name is an appreciation to the Ogre founder, called Sinbad, who was the Ogre founder and leader for 10 years.
Animations:
- idling
- walking
- jumping
- unsheathing the swords
- horizontal sword wipe
- vertical sword swipe
- putting away the swords
- dancing
- some animations are combinable (??)
- all his upper body animations will look different when he's running than when he's standing still

Development
User omniter was bored and painted this sketch. Then he got the idea to create a fully animated character model to be an ogre mascot.
This is an second sketch, which he used as base for his 3D model.
