Tamriel Rebuilt

The collision can be havoked anyway you like. It's just a case of changing a few numbers via nifskope.

My only other suggestion is maybe change the texture apply mode on the glass tristrip, apply_hilight.

Glad its of use anyway.

real life stuff mostly. new girl. training.

modeling wise I'm not doing huge amounts. just tidying up loose ends, I'm still about helping any new modellers get into the scene and up to speed where possible.

the redware textures aren't donatable, shouldn't be too hard for someone to find replacements.

Who said anything about a 700 Triangle weapon?

dunno

3k tris for a sword as long as it looks badass isn't a problem. 700tri isn't a very friendly poly limit imo. Unless you want a no frills weapon. On an average weapon I'll use 1-3Ktris. If you have the high poly and a low poly mesh you can set a couple lights ups and use projection on it to RTT a pro...

No way! putting weapons and armor in game takes 10mins. statics are pretty much the same. I guess creatures is a fraction more complicated than armor. and architecture well....I have avoided that so far. anyway. UV maps. They could be better.....I have been trying to do my homework lately on them. M...

Wait...I missed that....WOW an offer to try the most evil of all acts...... texturing!

I'll pray for your safe return from the hellish damnation of eternal photoshop torture.

K....so bonemold is dunmer. Didn't really cross my mind that. I actually want or rather need to have a discussion on the armors material. It will not go any further untill It works in my head. I kinda like the ceramic idea. but even a lacquered metal like Japanese and samurai armor would work on it....

I think I PMed Lutemoth a couple weeks ago. no reply.

I think I have a good idea for the texture. Basically it is indoril. Which is high qlty bonemold, A prestigious armor in its own right. But inlayed and gilded with gold trim. Well thats the hard part over with. :) understanding the material, how it's made, who's it for and its function are essential...

I see....... Lol. I try to avoid metalalics. Never could paint them well. :) Its almost done now, modeled and UVed. aside from some basic texturing. I may have some time to try out a metalic/ golden scheme on it. I have some UVmaps if anyone can paint metal work worth a damn.....they are welcomed to...

well heres my stab at a concept texture. snake leather and bonemold or something.

any thoughts

not that high really.

its 11k tri for the whole suit. at the minute. theres gonna be at least another 1k before it is finished.

question: anyone know what material is the armor made from?

Well, since the question was asked. Why did I even join the project? well you see when I joined I was trying to learn to model. I thought it maybe wise to join a modding forum. Perhaps I would be able to acquire the knowledge and get a few tid bits of info. And encouragement hear and there. It seeme...

Oh sorry that wasn't directed at TR or aything.

Its weird sometimes I just get the feeling people just want a pet modeler on the end of a leash is all. Please spend 25hrs of your life Ghogiel modeling and textureing and rigging my power ranger suit....PLLLLEEEAAaasssseeeeee :roll: I don't really do requests either(I slip on occasion if asked nice...

I don't work for anybody. Also don't be confused. I have 1 of my own mods in progress. Since I have also been collaborating with a modeler called necron on another mod. and have made various misc objects/weapons ect and a nord long ship for Skyrim. I work purely as freelance and wish to have no resp...

lol I was just about to edit the too part

Lady N - useless fact - I was born in Baltimore too

edit: think rigging is working for me. Well I'll find out if it is quite soon. *fingers crossed* That would mean I would be 90% the way to getting something in game WOOT!

So yokutan flavor is like a bit mongol/tibetan/ with a TES twist and a side order of persian rug? I have a idea for an asianesque Gladiator helmet. I may make a start on something in perticualr from the concept thread. Any sugestions or priorties for clothing/armour needed for Hammerfell? I expect l...

Dude, 'experienced modeler' is actualy modest for your level. *looks at pics.... looks at my own pics, cries for .29 ms, then runs off to the 3d lab*

Could be the heavy armour, I was thinking of a breast plate for the heavy myself. I'll probably just add that to whats there. I'm not even planning on implimenting my models into any mods so to speak. ALthough I used every aspect of the TES3 CS, I haven't even opened it for OB yet. [url=http://i25.p...

Bumpys..... just something I knocked together so that I could learn rigging and the finer points of nifscoping a piece of armour so that it actually works correctly.

HOLY CRAP, some of those concepts are looking wicked! I've got my eye on a few already :) I will get around to properly looking at all this stuff. Cool, TR Modder. I'll get moving on something. In couple weeks I'll make some really good models. I've gotten better at modelling since I started a coupl...

I've done my homework. the TES4 Dwarven armor is a replica, I'm not certain what kind of metal the smiths used when recreating it, but Dwemer didn't have a hand in the construction of the armor pieces. The TES3 armor, is Dwemer in origion. Both material and construction wise. It also said that the m...

I just had a fiddle and warmed the yellow a bit. I will be going much more sparingly on the verdigras when I go to texture it for real. I like it myself. but will need to ease off it a fair bit and use it more intelligently. it just begs for corrosion and rust imo

I do plan on making the texture. but this is a place holder to some exstent. I still have to re uv map the final model....so the texture will need to be redone. I like the colour and tone of the latest one. I think it looks old and rusted. and the yellow is subdues enough without it looking like my ...

bump

because I now have how I would like the texture concept to look. I disected a piece of iron armor and knocked this up really quickly


[url=http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c85/lego-botz/texturealmost.gif]Looking more like it [/url]

I think I'd be good at anything that sparks an interest in me. I've never tried architecture or anything else for that matter. eyeball- yes please. because I am so noob to modeling, I've seen a tutorial on uv mapping. what I realy want to know is in the vid the guy has a vertix align snap thing, I c...

Phew this is tough.....I'm testing out uv mapping the helmet even though its not quite tweeked to perfection. I'm not satisfied just yet. I've got my head around it alright but dang is it tricky to get nice and clean. Its an art all to its self. And I can't seem to export a nif from max. I just get ...

I've updated my screens. If anyone cares to look. I do have a question. Beth's cuirass meshes are multiple pieces. Is that because it has to be that way for animation and all that bone stuff I haven't a clue about yet, or is just simply because its easier to model multiple pieces and then just put t...

poly count is 572....so far, the original is 1516

so I'll make it atleast around that. I'll shoot for 2000+

I'm trying to keep it low while I'm still fiddling with the general shape/proportions. Its my first model so I'm probably going off the deep end

Sure thing boss -

I'll do something Hammerfell related if that'll make everyone happy First things first though.

I'm new to 3dmax, just picked it up yesterday and was up till 4:30am making this, (WIP!!!) its supposed to be a dwemer cuirass from TES3. I've almost blocked it out and am about to work out some proportions and better lines. I just choose this as something to get my feet wet in max with. Its going t...
