I'm done modeling this lamp. It also has a great set of UV coords. The texture will be forthcoming. I've uploaded an updated .obj file.

how is the texture coming morden?

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 7:48 pm

The lantern is coming along well. I've had to re-layout the UV coords to deal with some unexpected stretching errors, but it should be good now. The texture has taken quite a while, but its coming along slowly. I'm uploading a nif file and my current texture. No normal map yet.

kickass lantern!

The texture cooperates with the mesh very well

How much more work does it need, Morden? Our lamppost is already in review, a new lamp would be a very nice addition to it.

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Fri May 23, 2008 8:07 pm

Model and UV coords are finished. The texture itself needs to be completed. I don't have time at the moment to make it look good, but otherwise it's ready.

If you could finish it during the first week of june, it would be nice. If you won't make it, I'm gonna addthe current version of the lamp to the OoT. I believe it will be better than any other placeholder.

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Fri May 30, 2008 3:30 am

I'm working on improving the texture. It will be acceptable, but we should consider future updates. We could also make a few variations to get more out of this mesh.

aro101 · Post by **aro101** » Fri May 30, 2008 3:45 am

Are you thinking of simple main color varations or something more fancy?

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 8:50 pm

I rebuilt the texture and I should be done in a couple of days. If I have time I'll try to zbrush some detail into it.

Post by **Haplo** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 8:54 pm

I just want to say, Morden, that texture looks great

aro101 · Post by **aro101** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 6:47 pm

Great news, thanks Morden

This was much harder then it looks.

Looks pretty, though.

Sexxieh. I can't wait for more your work

Here's a screen of the red variation. It's probaly the least cool looking of the colors, but i'm still refining it. The light yellow and blue look the best. I've also made green and 'off' variations.

Edit: I added another version with a better glow map.

Are there any red-light districts in Goldmoor?

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 6:14 am

I've uploaded my files to the claims browser. Five .nifs total.

Crap that was a lot of work for something that seems so mundane.

It could be used for the concubine place in Rihad. There's also always the Dura Ungai and the fight club which, if I remember correctly, was supposed to be in Goldmoor.

...

Indeed, it is.

Edit: To explain the Fight Club thing, it's under cover and officially illegal IIRC. Though it probably has nothing to do with prostitution etc. Red lights would still fit "symbolically".

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 9:48 pm

Yes, this is ready for review.

Gez · Post by **Gez** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 9:58 pm

Vvrooom!

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Sat Jun 14, 2008 6:44 pm

Anyone have a chance to check this over?

Post by **Haplo** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 6:20 am

I want to check this out tomorrow, along with Nemon's Rihad claim CTD mystery. I do have a question, when you first started the process of the light creation, did your CS CTD?

Gez · Post by **Gez** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 10:36 am

I've already explained my Big Theory of Why Custom Lights Crash the CS.

There is a hidden flag for lights which is "make the CS crash", Bethesda added it just because they're mean-spirited. Boo, Bethesda, you big bunch of bullies!

By default, this flag is set on "yes". So to create a new light, just modify an existing light (whose flag is on "no") and make it a new one by changing its ID.

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 2:04 pm

I did what Gez said... i didn't try starting a light from scratch.. i did modify the parameters though, once i had my light renamed.

Post by **Haplo** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 9:50 pm

The lamps look great to me, although I'm not an expert on critiquing models. I'd say they're definitely ready for aro to check them out and approve them or send them back for something that I might have missed.

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 4:57 am

Anyone else get a chance to looks at this? Or can we just put it right through?

Jelle · Post by **Jelle** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 8:47 pm

I gave this a little review, and I'm pleased to say that you did a great job. It's perfect

Approving then, a review and a half + Morden's work
