Hold on, sirrah are you
Hold on, sirrah are you actually developing this?
this is awesome beyond words!
Very nice. And when you add
Very nice. And when you add the fur it will make the model more together i think.
Just the paws bug me a little tough i have no advice for them.
If you get this animated show me how you do it
Cheers! I agree, the paws
Cheers! I agree, the paws need to be reworked; I was being too poly-coy with them.
Animation has generally been a huge stumbling block for me; aside from the actual animating, I haven't been able to figure out if there's any way to export quadratic/TBC animation keys to .nif using the Blender plug-in; every time I export to .nif/.kf, the animation is rendered as linear keys (which gives rather depressing results). There's some great tutorials Rot posted here: http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/comment/274#comment-274 I've been more-or-less following those to great success other than the keyframe issues.
This looks so cool. I love
This looks so cool. I love that this concept got picked up for modeling.
I will say, I'd like it better with completely black eyes, like the original art. The current ones look a little goofy, and I think we should go for elegance with this creature.
I'll try out some different
I'll try out some different ideas for the eyes; I tend to think the black segmented moth-eyes look rather goofy in their own way, though.
Regarding elegance; that's the impression the original art gave me but the redraw feels like a more bulky, and more common, creature (more mountain goat than elk, like a VM Nix-hound equivalent). I think there is merit to both concepts, so something I was thinking of doing was a larger/older variant, slightly lithe-r and grey with larger/more complex horn arrangements.
Yes I think some longer horns
Yes I think some longer horns/antennas would give it more elegance, I made a mockup if you'd like some inspiration.
For my part, I think I like
For my part, I think I like the bottom centre eye the most, though the top left is quite distinctive. Seems like a rather subjective matter, though.
As far as the antlers are concerned, I think I prefer Nalin's direction to Crucifigo's, though they are indeed 'too Elk' as shown; basically extending outwards, relatively broad and covered in 'velvet' of some form. Tossing out some photos for ideas in lieu of making concept art:
I agree with this, would like
I agree with this, would like to see their antenna barbed or feathered instead of just straight antenna. Otherwise, I really love this thing.
I like the top-center eyes
I like the top-center eyes most. Sirrah, do you need texture help with this one?
Does: concepts, textures, youtube vids, admin stuff e.g. PR, handbook, assets, small website things. Activity level: wildly unpredictable. Still active. Find me on Discord.
The textures could do with
The textures could do with some work, I'm sure; I'll try to get a copy of this uploaded shortly so you can have a look at it.
I've uploaded my current work
I've uploaded my current work files above as insurance; cleaning things up at the moment and will hopefully have a .nif file up within the next two months.
A not-particularly
A not-particularly-interesting update: I've redone the UVs and am in the process of re-texturing; while I feel the old textures created a nice effect they were a bit limited and I was abusing some nasty UVs to make them work.
Less a bump (since Sirrah
Less a bump (since Sirrah actually updated this the day of the CM meeting, hype!) and more an update to priority and region (no longer planned as a UV exclusive)
