SLOAD MODELS

Duke Nathan · Post by **Duke Nathan** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 2:16 pm

Hello, I`ve got a quick question.

Do anyone of You still have some of those Sload`s models, mentioned in [url=http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?t=4268&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=sload+model&start=80]THIS TOPIC[/url] ?
I spoke with Noirgrim about it, but unfortunately he doesn`t have it anymore.

It would be very useful for my Morrowind project, that`s why I`d be grateful for any informations about this stuff.

Regards

Well, I don`t know if anyone had those models formerly, but I assume that someone downloaded it - that`s why I`m asking ;]

It seems you know more about TR than me lol... I don't even know if you're able to use our models. I'm not the right person to answer your question.

As far as I know, those models were never animated, so you would have a lot of work to do even if you could find the models (either Ace's or Noir's)
Sorry I couldn't help more.

I`m also not sure about Your TR rules and I hope that it`s only a matter of author`s consent...

As for TR, I only know that you`re making a great work for the TES society ;]

EDIT: Hmm, I read about some animations in that topic about Sloads... Is it possible that they`re all gone ?

I do remember that model, but I never DLed it. As for permission- Yes, anything at TR belongs to the author and he/she is free to share it with anyone. However, you may have difficulty finding either of these people, as they are no longer with us.

You should read that entire topic about the Sload model. It's a laugh...

The sload was fully textured and had a walking animation and an attacking animation. After I left TR I dumped all of my attachements, and since then, 3DMax stopped worked, so I got rid of all of the models on my PC also. I know someone out there has the NIF file, but unfortunetly, the NIF file is all that you're going to find, as the original max file is long gone.

Someone here will be making a new sload model for Hammerfell, but it will be for Oblivion. So, check back with TR later on, and at that point, ask the modeler if they can do something for you.

EDIT: and the topic you refer to is a topic talking about the first Sload I made. I made a second one which was better. See if you can find that thread. It may give you some clues if someone had downloaded it.

If anyone does find the .nif, it isn't hard to extract the .obj from the nif and tweak it again in Max. I hope someone does find it, though.

Glad to hear that

I sent PM to Ace, but there`s no response since yesterday.

For the moment, I haven`t found anything new about these models.

I'm working on detailing the Sload that Ace made with a normal map that covers upwards of half a million polys - I tested a similar normal map on a model in the doom 3 engine and it ran pretty well, so I'll keep working on this for now.

While the result may not be as ideal, you can save yourself hours (or days) of modelling time by applying a high quality texture to the Sload mesh and then using the default Nvidia normal mapping plugin for a base normal map. From there, you can edit it freely to add your own details.

Nothing new ?

I wonder if anyone has at least any 3DSMax screenshots of these models ? :>
