The swamp snake

This is how my new model looks like.I need to texture it and maybe replace the body.

Infinitium · Post by **Infinitium** » Sun Oct 30, 2005 11:18 am

Besides the fact that it's rather crude, the head is a tad too round and seems rather disproportionate to the rest of the body in my opinion... otherwise gj I guess (not really into these kind of things myself).

Also horo, your posts would be MUCH more easy on the eyes if you put a blankspace between your sentences.

No such thing! All of the exporters available for Morrowind are here:

Bad luck mang. You'll have to find someone with the right tools to export it for you.

ps have you textured the model

It's cute, so as it is now it looks more like a caterpillar than like a snake.

But since there's now a moratorium on EoT, you'll have plenty of time to work on it before submissions are open again!

yeah, it is a bit of a lumpy snake really... but it's good for a start! keep on fiddling with it and see if you can make it more snake-like, maybe.

For a swamp snake, use this pic as reference.

To be honest, I don't really like that mesh, I don't think a 'cute' swamp snake would be much of a good addition, and the mesh looks very lumpy and artifical. However, I do think you've hit on a good idea, in that a large snake or slug-like creature with big teeth would be a 'fun' thing to meet in a swamp. Especally if it happened to like to hang out so most of it was invisible under the water, and sneak up on the player.

horodnicdragos · Post by **horodnicdragos** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 9:42 am

All can be resolved.I have to work at the teeth.And maybe at the head(it is too round).And I don't want to make the monster of Logness.

I want tomake a simple swamp snake with sizes like Kwawan Forager's.It is my first moder after all and any sugestion is welcome.

horodnicdragos · Post by **horodnicdragos** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 10:02 am

How about this one.I replaced the teeth.I need help on the head.

Odowacar · Post by **Odowacar** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 2:03 pm

Looks like a smiling caterpillar with dracula teeth. It could be a new pokemon but I don't think that it could be a new creature for Morrowind. Unless we will make it an easter egg for the player..

Maybe it'll look better if you retexture it a bit.

snake have their eyes on the side of their head, but ofcourse this is a fantasy game, so it won't matter that much

You need to texture the model.

It's sooo cute, it looks like a Halloween toy.

Ok!I wanted to make a dangerous and ugly snake.But it can be something cute too,can't it?And about the easter egg.What do you want to do with it?

horodnicdragos · Post by **horodnicdragos** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 9:34 am

This is how looks retextured.(I don't like it like this)

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 11:10 am

Try making the head less round, and placing the eyes on the side of the head, will make it look more "snake-like"

Orix · Post by **Orix** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 1:27 pm

Meaner eyes would be cool too

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 4:09 pm

Is this creature rigged and animated?

Arthmodeus · Post by **Arthmodeus** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 10:57 pm

Please smoothen out the model and make it less bumpy.

horodnicdragos · Post by **horodnicdragos** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 5:28 pm

It is not animated yet.But I will do this after I finish modeling on it.And I am thinking at red eyes...How about this one guys?Shoude they be red?I don't know how should I make it less bumpy.It will be something small and people will not realize that.And by the way!I need some cool textures.If anyone has one it must be posted here.

horodnicdragos · Post by **horodnicdragos** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 6:08 pm

I want to present the new head of the snake.It is better than the other one.I am still working on it.Now any awesome suggestion about it is welcome.

Vernon · Post by **Vernon** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 7:35 pm

I would have put it into a prone position to animate it. i.e. not curled up like that, but straight. But hey, it's your model.

horodnicdragos · Post by **horodnicdragos** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:51 pm

This is the new model.I will modify the body too.I worked the whole day at the head.I hope you like it now.

horodnicdragos · Post by **horodnicdragos** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 10:05 am

And here comes the body!the waited smooth body.It will be easier to animate it too.

Odowacar · Post by **Odowacar** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 1:07 pm

That is much better though it still doesn't look like a snake but a caterpillar with sharp teeth. And it still needs some texturing.

here's a pick of a snake-head

could be usefull.

For textures you could check out the wilderniss mod, and ask permission to use their snake textures.

EDIT; i found some realy nice snake textures but i can't upload them for some reason.

Uhhhhh....Did you said texture?No problem!Here's the texture

horodnicdragos · Post by **horodnicdragos** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 6:44 pm

Here is the new body of the snake.If you don't like it tell me what to do.(Lots of thanks to Dexter)

horodnicdragos · Post by **horodnicdragos** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 7:14 pm

This is the diamond-shaped head.This looks better.

Infinitium · Post by **Infinitium** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 7:55 pm

Sure does. However it's still to large for the body, and the snake seems kinda stumpy as well (elongate/thin out the body if possible). Mouth needs some work as well, though you're certainly heading in the right direction.

Also once again, your sentences would be oh som much easier to read if you had a space in between them.

Gez · Post by **Gez** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 10:55 pm

The head is better but needs to be reduced in scale slightly, to make the snake look less like a tadpole. And maybe the eyes could be put even further apart a little bit.

horodnicdragos · Post by **horodnicdragos** » Sat Nov 05, 2005 7:48 am

Ok! The body will be modifyed. First I must make it a bit longer. And the mouth will be the same. I am not doing a simple snake. I want to make something more S.F.

And I don't see what's the problem with the eyes.

Resadyn · Post by **Resadyn** » Sat Nov 05, 2005 8:20 am

Its looking better. About the eyes i think he means just moving them over some.

The eyes on your snake are on the top of the head. You see here, that the eyes of real snakes are on the sides. The way your snake is now, he wouldn't have a very good field of vision.

Hermit · Post by **Hermit** » Sat Nov 05, 2005 11:21 am

Is this snake segmented?

Silverwood · Post by **Silverwood** » Sat Nov 05, 2005 6:03 pm

I've been watching it since it was the "cute" snake with the little vampire fangs. Its coming along very nicly, i like the mudish design on it that would work as camoflauge in muddy swamps and ponds. Hmmm, maybe you should make him longer, he does look like a just went through segmentation.

horodnicdragos · Post by **horodnicdragos** » Sat Nov 05, 2005 7:20 pm

Well these are the lastest modifies.And I will make it longer if I can.

Resadyn · Post by **Resadyn** » Sat Nov 05, 2005 7:21 pm

Arthmodeus · Post by **Arthmodeus** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 5:47 am

Looks good, now. All you need is a more variable texture.
