Before I even begin modelling I have to first have a basic concept of what realistic intellectual aliens might look like for my game. First, considering that they are intellectual they need sort of exoskelleton or skull to pretect their brain, or whatever central commanding organ one may have. Secondly, they need moderate sensory, we have eyes, ears, a nose, a tongue, and nerve endings that allow us to feel. I'm thinking that the standard intelleginet ET could have all or just one of those things. Next is how they communicate, this could be through the color and agle of a gil, the noise made from a nosteral or mouth, signals like sign language or perhaps via some form of brainwave communication. Next we have nagivation (how they move). The only real reason that we are bipedal according to evolution theory is that there were less forests to climb and sleep in and we needed to be taller to see preditors hiding in high grass. I'd say any form of navigation works. Finally and most importantly, how the intelligent organism modifies his or her enviroment. We do it with hands and thumbs by making tools. One might have something similar to hands except with sunction cups and pure muscle with no bone like the human tongue.
What do you guys think a realistic intelligent ET might look like?
I'm drawing my idea as we speak and I'll post it once finished.
