Everything that doesn't fit anywhere else will be thrown in here from now on - and probably a summary of all of my previous stuff too in the form of thumbnails. I'll continually edit this first post and keep it updated with new images and files as i and when i make them.

Looks great! Out of curiousity - will you do things for Oblivion only, or will you do an occasional item for Morrowind? I ask since your Necrom Ordinator armor is among the best retextures of it I had seen.

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 5:13 pm

I know the other one is your E3 showcase- but you can change the title.

I'd rather just have one place now to put everything - anychance you could use your mighty "Head of..." powers and delete my ES3 showcase thread? It's much easier to throw everything in together and this'll be the place that i do that - don't worry about the loss of any images - i have them all backed up and ready to repost here - the one's that are "finished" enough

Update on the Legion/Helseth armour retexturing experiment:

http://i83.imagethrust.com/images/3JTs/view-image/helsethss-1.html

As you can see, I'm having trouble getting the desired amount of "shine" on it. I'm using Photoshop Elements 2.0 for the textures and I'm wondering if maybe that is where the problem stems from. I'm having problems with making the alpha files - any tips/advice/help would be great.

PoHa! · Post by **PoHa!** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 5:38 pm

It looks like you need more 'pop' from your normal map, IMO.

I hate PS Elements. I don't think that you can make an alpha channel with it. Kudos to you if you can figure out how.

I'll still mod for TES3 while i learn to mod for TES4 and although my focus is more on the new engine, I'm sure I'll end up modding for TES3 aswell just out of habit.

I ended up sorting it out in PS7, I think you're right about Elements, It was so much easier in PS! (I'm never going back!) Here's how it's looking:

It's still a WIP but progress is being made.

That looks great as usual. But, wont the front clip badly if the player looks down. I guess they dont look down very often.

Your good at this.

Looks like good progress Nalin! Are you planning on making a Morrowind armour pack or something? Or is this just a one off?

This is a learning curve - hopefully leading - eventually leading to some decent Hammerfell items...

I'm still enamoured with Morrowind so yes, There is more Morrowind armour on the way.

Who's for boiled netch?

Nalin, are you sure you lost all the Telvanni stuff? There are some missing textures in the stuff you sent to Lutemoth. The tx_c_robe_tel_mlord_* and tx_c_robe_tel_magelord_* textures.

There's no Telvanni stuff on my pc now, It's my fault for constantly "cleaning up" and deleting things that I think I have newer versions of - when I don't. It's a bit of a pain in the arse - but then so is having millions of textures and meshes.

I'm just glad TES4 has a more organised "Data section" so I know what is what when I need to throw out old stuff.

As a consolation though - I'm making sure these don't go the same way as the Telvanni stuff. Just to clarify - they're meant to replace the previous Necrom armour.

Some House Dres Armour I've been messing around with recently:

A Great House Redoran statue (temporarily on display in Ald-ruhn for screenshot purposes only) that will go into "Ghostgate enhanced", a little mod I'm making to do the Ghostgate concept art justice.

[url=http://img486.imageshack.us/my.php?image=redstatwidexz7.jpg][img]http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/1778/redstatwidexz7.th.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://img486.imageshack.us/my.php?image=redstat2pd6.jpg][img]http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/7839/redstat2pd6.th.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://img486.imageshack.us/my.php?image=redstat1cd8.jpg][img]http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/3960/redstat1cd8.th.jpg[/img][/url]

...Maybe i should bundle up all the concept inspired creations into one mod? Next time i play through morrowind It's going to be with a lot of mods and enhancements - It's going to BE morrowind...well, guess I'll be waiting a while for that(for all the maps) but that gives me plenty of time to work on creating (recreating?) the other concepts.

WOW! We could have a unique Netch Leather cap imported to one of the best, merchants in HF, I'm serious, imagine finding this in a market, you'd feel so privileged.

Great work man, the texture on that thing is awesome, along with the actual model.

Lutemoth · Post by **Lutemoth** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 4:25 am

I've tried my hand at recreating some of those immense statues at the gate (also reinspired my view of what Hlaalu and Telvanni should be, according to CA). I'll see if I can get close to a scanner hooked to the net for me to use

[url=http://til.gamingsource.net/gallery/mw_TAoM_p07.jpg]in regards to his recreation endeavor of the concept version of the ghostgate[/url]

I never really noticed the tiny intricate statues, and how freakin' large they really are. That guy in the husk-dealie is from Telvanni, as those are houseman of Indoril, Hlaalu and Tel, respectively. He's apparently in his finest ceremonial beetle armour, from what the PGE states.

Hlaalu with the daedric crescent? I wondered who the rest were. I noticed Telvanni, Redoran and Indoril and what looks like Vehk in the top right hand corner - The four "Vvardenfell Houses", rather 3 but Indoril included because of thier Tribunal temple presence, make sense to me but any idea what the top left hand figure is?

Andres Indoril · Post by **Andres Indoril** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 3:46 pm

It's Mephala.... I think

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 4:01 pm

Wouldnt it make sense if the three figures on top where the tibunal (with a 4 armed amalexia)? And Neravar with the crescent?

or maybe vivec with the crecent flanked by the other 2?

Though i do like the towers as they are now with the tribunal heads on them, I really like the look of the swords...depends on how i can get them looking (The swords) with the partical effect "walls". The whole idea of this is to go back to the concepts I've seen and liked and bring them to "life", All of them. So, I'll post screens when I have them.

For some reason the word "Nightmare" for me conjures up images of dark forests...This creature fits in my nightmare scene...I love the idea of it being scripted so that when it is within a certain proximity to the PC - the PC's speed is drained to next to nothing...running but hardly getting away as this unholy abomination drags itself/crawls/lurks towards him/her (True "nightmarism"...did i just invent that word?)

Thank you - that was my first go at "modding" for OB - just a basic retexuring job - unfornately though for the armour set I picked the wrong type of cuirass to try it on (due to me not having played Oblivion enough to get a good look at the other armour sets available). Shame really because I do think the Helseth Royal guard armour (If done properly) is one of the better armours from Morrowind (though they were all pretty awesome). Maybe one day I'll get around to finishing it properly, there's just not much need for it right now. I'm glad you liked it though.
