Seashell House

[Ibsen's Ghost]

Maybe it's just my crappy eyes but I don't see much of a difference. Nevertheless, I'd like both sets of textures if that's okay with you. Then I can take a look at the models in NifSkope and make a better decision. I agree with the guys though...nice work :goodjob:

You might be able to attach the files here if it's around 1mb but I'm guessing that sandor would appreciate it if you send the files straight to me. That way we reduce the amount of data that the forum uses. I'll PM my email address to you.

I have to agree with Ibsen. From the screenshots I can't see any significant difference.

Thanks for the compliments, guys: much appreciated. Like I say, I think the texture makes a difference - but I've been staring at it for hours!

Ibsen, you have mail - let me know if there's anything I missed.

I'm still having a look at shellhomes, but it's a proving bit much for my current level of modelling skill so don't hold your breath...!

I think I'm going to take a break from shells for a bit. I'm not yet happy with the other models, so I'll hold them back for the moment. Is the clam enough to get by with for scenic seashells, or do you really need more? And if so then when?

I'll still be around, but I want to catch up on other stuff I've promised.

As I mentioned in my email just now, I see the difference in NifSkope. Nevertheless, I went for the lo-res one as I think it shouldn't be too much of a drawback.

As regards the other models, I'm thinking that maybe I can just get sandor to do a search and replace on this model and then, if there are any more, I could either hand-place them or maybe I can persuade sandor to switch the items again for the region in question. Theoretically, that sounds perfectly do-able. This means that I can get the mangrove region done and you get a bit of space to model more freely without time pressures....

I'll trust your judgement on the texrtures, of course.

I think the closed clam should be pretty common but anything else could be rather more rare, making hand-placement practical. I'll tackle the shells again when the mood takes me....

@ morcroft - Thank you for your work on the shells that you've done so far! Tis much appreciated. And they look good, too.
