Just got Oblivion and willing to help.

[zackg]

Hi everybody, I just got Oblivion for PC and Im interested in giving a helping hand. A few months back I started and am still working on my own Argonia mod for Morrowind and I want to contribute to this one also. I can landscape, do exterior/interior design, write books, etc. I am a noob at modeling, just started in Blender a short while back, but I can give that a shot, and I am fairly decent at texturing stuff.

Oh,welcome to here,welcome to us dear Argonian friend!
Hope you have a lot of fun! :goodjob:

It's just what I asked Santa for - a texturer!!!! :bananarock:

You are so welcome...and just on time. I can't talk now (I have a mouth full of mince pie) but I'll be back soon to give you the lowdown on some potential projects that you might like to undertake. A very big welcome to you, zackg! Things are starting to really move with this mod now.

Okay...back again. We're still in the process of setting up a clear claims system that lets new members pick and choose their projects. That will come with the new region generation for Blackwood and other regions but for the time being I'm just going to have to 'debrief' you in person.

Here are some possible options for you at the moment:

• Wait until shortly after New Year when we have the Blackwood region generated so that we can work on the landscaping.
  
• Begin working with our 'mossy ruin' interior tileset to create a dungeon that will be used in our beta version.
  
• Take a look at the threads relating to the settlements of Stormwastes, Chasepoint, Gideon and Stormhold and pick an interior that you'd like to take care of. Some of these are already taken but I can quickly let you know if it's available if you make a selection.
  
• Feel free to write a book on anything lore-based. As a Morrowind-modder, you will probably know more about the lore than me as I tend to just take as many liberties as I can with Argonia's rather loose lore demands. However, run your ideas by us first before you launch into an epic.
  
• Work on creating house-based clutter (or other items of special need), preferably with a rustic, tribal or 'roots-based' feel (by that I mean the 'root furniture' that we have planned for objects in the home that are hewn from natural, organic resources. One such example is an item of flora whose roots dig deep into the soil and provide fuel for a lamp or a wardrobe that looks a little like a 'pod' from some exotic item of flora. Or simply wooden cutlery.
  
• Finally, and very, very importantly, I am extra keen to bring in a texturer who can finish off some of the new rocks provided by Sachiel besides re-texture some other rocks from SI so as to create a 'jungle set' that will help me to set up the region generation for our next region. This one is especially important right now.
  

But the best advice I can give you is to scout around the forums, get a feel for the mod and see where your skills can be best applied. I'll look forward to hearing from you...I hope you had a great Christmas!

Welcome mate! Welcome! We can realy use the help.

I remembered another option relating to textures. This thread: Hel Borne's Final Resource covers the use of medieval buildings in Gideon and elsewhere. As it stands there are textures (I think) but they lack the stained glass windows and so on. This could be quite a nice starter task.

I spent some time today making some trees for Murkwood over the last few hours and I think they look terrific, theyd really fit for the region (one looks identical to an outstretched hand, very creepy). Unfortunately I have to work in the morning so I dont have time to post screenies but Ill do it tomorrow. Til then.

Ah so you are working.Great really!
Can't wait to see your trees!

Begin working with our 'mossy ruin' interior tileset to create a dungeon that will be used in our beta version.

This should be an easy job, even for a newcommer. There are already textures there that can be used and replicated with ease.

This is another easy job, its easy to make new rock textures. or at least make re-textures for rocks you already have.

Two easy jobs for a new texturer, enjoy ya self

Thanks for the comments, IS :goodjob:. I would also be very interested to see what zackg comes up with for those Murkwood trees though...
