Amazing. Definitely promotional material. If we don' use this, by the way, you should texture it and make it into a stand-alone mansion mod for Oblivion. It's perfect.

Fairwater · Post by **Fairwater** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 6:30 am

Yea i totally think this amazing....how are your poly counts.....who cares it shows you have great talent!

Eternian Knight · Post by **Eternian Knight** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 10:16 am

The fact that I use Maya and have had formal training in it and can't make a useable face, but a guy with a weeks experence in 3DS can makes me feel even more like a failure lol.....

Oh btw hi, i'm new..... to posting anyway, my account is kinda old....

Yay! Man you got some skills man. That temple must have taken some time. Promotified. Maybe to many hemispheres but i does look cool!

butch3r171 · Post by **butch3r171** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 10:39 am

the poly count is huge but i never make it with the intention to put it in oblivion, just make it for fun, by the way who knows the polycount of the white gold tower and the skingrad castle?

PS: Im doing it based in the blue mosque.

Joco, please leave the "promoting" to the people who can actually promote.

Thrignar Fraxix · Post by **Thrignar Fraxix** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 8:06 am

knowing nothing of modeling I would say that looks pretty good, However what is the poly count and does the program you are using export to a usable file type?

butch3r171 · Post by **butch3r171** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 10:20 am

yep i can export to 3ds as an obj., and btw it have 8000 polys but i can reduce it.

Elfane · Post by **Elfane** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 1:07 pm

8k polys is an acceptable amount for a creature.
Do you have any experience animating and have you the possibility to do so?

butch3r171 · Post by **butch3r171** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 1:51 pm

like i said in my first post i just started at modeling, know almost nothing about animation but i think i can learn it pretty fast, i will try to animate this spider.

Ps: CAn u guys tell me whats a acceptable polycount for creaures and architecture?

angelus6 · Post by **angelus6** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 2:38 pm

well, as a fellow modeller id like to Recomend you for promotion

...and 7-9k is really the threshold for creatures but architecture is a bit lower i believe

Post by **Gnomey** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 5:21 pm

Though if you're thinking of having groups of these who team on the player a lower poly count would be better. The model seems pretty smooth, though, even for 8000 polys. (Not that I know anything about it).

Post by **Haplo** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 5:43 pm

Promoted

Awesome models man

butch3r171 · Post by **butch3r171** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 3:10 pm

right now im working on a dragon model but i think i cant keep it under 15000 polys so what u guys say, is 15000 good for a dragon, or maybe a hydra. Btw why oblivion have no snakes?

Noirgrim · Post by **Noirgrim** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 3:19 pm

Imagine modeling something that touches the ground in so many areas. A snake would have to conform to all the deformations of the terrain... extremely difficult.

If you want to model something we will be using, head on over to the 'Goldmoor' forum and PM Fairwater. He can show you a list of things we need meshed and that will be appearing in-game.

morke · Post by **morke** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 9:24 pm

i'd say that the animation on a dragon is going to be really intense. the wings alone would need atleast 5-6 seperate bone contours and (if included in the concept) the flares and/or spikes would need to be animated individualy, or atleast children of the spine bones. an OB dragon would be really killer but heading over to the golmoor section is probably your best bet right now imo.

Fairwater · Post by **Fairwater** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 9:29 pm

Or send me a PM...actually i pmed you. I have got some things for you to work on, so let me know what you are intersted i modeling and i will see what we need and we can mesh the two together!

Inerri · Post by **Inerri** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 12:54 am

Congrats on your promotion! You have some really great stuff here!

Haplo: Just wondering... If Butch has been promoted why is his title still TR Member?

morke · Post by **morke** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 1:34 am

i was just asking myself that question.... BUT CONGRATS!

Fairwater · Post by **Fairwater** » Thu May 03, 2007 4:34 pm

butch3r171 · Post by **butch3r171** » Thu May 03, 2007 4:44 pm

aro101 · Post by **aro101** » Thu May 03, 2007 5:21 pm

That is awesome... You got my respect. Do you have any concept arts for this or are you making everything just out of your head? It would be great to see some of your work ingame...

Morgoth · Post by **Morgoth** » Thu May 03, 2007 6:35 pm

He's using Pound's quagmire daedra concepts. And I must say, that fist one is AMAZING.

aro101 · Post by **aro101** » Thu May 03, 2007 8:10 pm

He's using Pound's quagmire daedra concepts

When I saw the first mesh, it reminded me off all that Corprus victims from MW...

And it still looks for me like one of them.

Nalin · Post by **Nalin** » Thu May 03, 2007 8:21 pm

Very nice work! Bethesda or higher standard

(Wants to see this [url=http://img386.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vaerminadaedraconceptskjh8.jpg][img]http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/7914/vaerminadaedraconceptskjh8.th.jpg[/img][/url] modeled!;))

butch3r171 · Post by **butch3r171** » Thu May 03, 2007 9:38 pm

nalin i really enjoied this concept ive been thinking about this one, i think i will make base meshes for all the creatures in the concept art book and then start modeling then. Maybe with help of someone i will texture then and then start working in animation.

El Scumbago · Post by **El Scumbago** » Fri May 04, 2007 9:44 am

The muscles on the first creature look quite realistic. Congrats butcher!

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Sun May 06, 2007 4:15 pm

Looking very nice so far, You've really got the muscular thing down.

NexUmMonastica · Post by **NexUmMonastica** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 6:34 am

the shoulders are reminding me of DOOM3 Hellknights.

perhaps you can render a high poly version and create yourself some textures then apply them to a lower poly model.

i really like this model!

IAMTHEEMPEROR · Post by **IAMTHEEMPEROR** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 7:32 am

Do you have anything ingame yet? Or have you not found a way around the collision problem yet? If not, I can tell you it may be due to the most recent exporter, which can sometimes crash the CS if you try to export collision. It happened to me, so I got the previous exporter and it all worked fine.
