Naga's Plan

[Lore_Naga]

Well maybe ill try it as a side project but you have to see that i only want to do it for the Thras project and the people who want these guys playable,

Also im a mer over man lover so i want to get things done that haven't been done before, And to add to this is that Zaneeba and KP i know you like the idea of hermaphroditic but this thread is about my plan so if i wanted the Sload plan to work it would need to have both sexes regardless on what people think due to the fact that im sure the CS has to have both female and male filled in to work.

I hate the fact everyone sees Sload and other "Non" playables as impossible,
Naga is a half non playable in itself due to the fact it has a tail,
If you stop dubbing the idea down as negative then maybe something can be done with it and Why am i bringing up a non BM subject into BM because a sload could be a nice counterpart when your race picking after all it is like a paatru,

I want to know who is making the paatru body and head because by my view of paatru that they are quite alike to the sload
(Im meaning with worts and wrinkles or what not,
A young sload who looks like a paatru could in-fact make worth as a race in BM then we would not have to go through all this Crazy processes we just talked about
So in fact im sure a young sload is a very big possibility for BM and since Thras has died out then this is the best project to bring this up in.)

You may not have seen this post here yet: Zaneeba's monster book of models but my main point was that Sloads are not a priority. Therefore, they would be very welcome (especially if ZS has modelled them beautifully already) but both non-hermaphroditic Sloads and other Sload types would not be a project supported at BM.

llamaranger was working on the Paatru if I remember correctly. The relevant thread was here: Possible Paatru ! . I'd stick with your Naga idea, NA. You could always stretch your skills further later.

(Ok ill huff and puff and blow that idea down)
Ok naga is starting to work for me but,
Facegen is having problems importing and exporting models due to some reason its something to do with the new versions of the modelling programs i downloaded,
I might have to buy a new Facegen and that will take some time so hold on!

Ok now the free version of Facegen wont export models, Gah!

Bad luck seems to be following me around the place

[Ibsen's Ghost]

AFAIK you're the only Facegen person we have around here. You may need to make a few more connections with other facegen people. There's a Bethesda member called 'Fluffy Knight' who posted a message here: http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index....p=14977035 but said his own skills were with faces only. Perhaps he could help or knows where to find a bit more help from some useful forum somewhere....

[Lore_Naga]

I removed Facegen because it was damaging my hardware,
Ill have to use other facial morphing programs and KP has already told me some via PM.

Please if you have any ideas for the naga then post it now!
What im going for is something like shiver-tail's head model(Looks like a scalon =) So that was what i was kinda going for) he made and tentacle like hair,
And a snake tail with the main body (Dont remind me that is insanely impossible, Im talking to KP about it so dont worry).

Im going to try and yet again fix my internet (Damm thing!) so i wont start anything till i can get my hands on them big BM files (The bsa and esm),
So if you want to juice the main ideas here and maybe when i get down to making it ill think about adding it
(Just read a post where senten said "I always thought naga as a creature" or something like that and thought "Oh no!" So i thought up a new title ha ha....
- The Cataclysmic Cut-throat Conjoined Creature Twins Of The Wild Provinces).

Okay, so we have as inspiration so far:

• the WoW Naga - all I have to go on here is this: http://img106.imageshack.us/i/nagaarmorih2.png/#q=naga in which the tail theme is used and the right-hand figure shows a small amount of tendrils...and yet I think we're agreed that we'd prefer it to be slightly more humanoid....but that could be debated.
  
• Other points of discussion from the races thread that have identified Waalx's 'Gnoll' model as a potential source of inspiration for the body: New Race Selection and New Race Selection .
  
• I don't have a pic of TheGreyWizard's Naga head, I'm afraid but this is an option if it can be found. Despite having spoken to Grey at times, his personal circumstances meant that he had to leave the project long ago. At the last time of speaking, he hinted he might be able to return at some point.
  
• Other inspiration pictures are found on the internet here: http://www.elfwood.com/fanq/m/a/maelthra...rident.jpg , here: http://www.cerealart.com/controlpanel/im...1986-1.jpg and here: http://th01.deviantart.net/fs5/300W/i/20..._kyoht.jpg . There's a lot on offer elsewhere, of course.
  
• Just as an extra point of interest, check out this amazing pro-modeller stuff: http://www.runtimedna.com/Artifacts-Naga-Throne.html . Pretty cool! :yes:
  
• As you know, the 'Predator' mod could come in useful.
  
• Finally, having looked at these options, I would recommend using the Xivilai as a base model and adding the tail and 'dreadlocks/tendrils' options.

Thanks for your input ibsen =)

Anyone else feel free to give your views before anythink is made,
Ibsen did you make the naga huts?
Because you know these guys are 7-8ft tall so the doors of these huts aren't titchy tiny things.

Xivilai as base..... Hm maybe,
If i wanted these guys playable i would some how have to manipulate the base body Or if i made a whole new playable skeleton with a hundred and something animations it would be impossible (According to LN, You know i agree with that now seeming "I" can delve a little deeper with modelling on my part)
So a manipulation of the base body but the tail ill have to test and try,
I could also be very nice and generous and give the main body to akavir for making a tsaesci.

If im successful with making the naga playable then theres no need to make a creature now is there?

Sorry for so manys "I's" its just i love myself (Ha ha :crown: ,Joke but i do seriously need to cut back on the I's,
Me should ask ibsen for a different word then the letter "I")

[Ibsen's Ghost]

Koniption made the Naga huts but I think I may have added the doors later (again, Koniption's models). We hadn't really figured on the size at the time. They'd just have to duck... =) Nevertheless, they'd still fit inside if they were Xivilai-sized, I'm sure.

Sure, the base body could go to Akavir. If you're making it then it's your property. But, as I always say, it would be nice to keep BM as a very fresh release with lots of genuinely new models to enhance the wow factor...but base models don't affect any of that anyway.

does anyone know what setscale is 7ft or 8ft in-game?

I mean like Setscale 5.3 = 6ft (Im guessing).
