Silgrad Tower from the Ashes

Hello, folks of Silgrad!

I read somewhere here that you're going to copy a part of the Cyrodiil/Tamriel world space to your own. Now I'm wondering how is that done, could someone please tell me?

Oh, another question: do you have any free 3D modelling program you would recommend to use for making Oblivion models?

Btw. can't wait for your next playable version of the mod, so hurry up!

I assume you know how to handle the HM editor.

• Export the the HM quads from the worldspace (WS) you want to copy. Select the correct area and export the the HM quads (4).
  
  
• Rename the raws so that these are outside your own HM area. Assuming you only need one quad.
  I attached the grid (36 quads) for ST e.g. '-4_-4.raw' would be possible (lower left corner).
  
  
• Import the raw into your WS save etc.
  
  
• Go to the the area you want to copy and select it (lasso, square). Press CTRL+C and go to the HM location where you want to paste the copied content and press CTRL+V.
  
  
• Correct the borders using the smooth tool etc.
  
  
• When done, remove the -4_-4 quad with the Gecko.
  

That's all.

Thanks a lot, Sandor. Can someone recommend a free modelling program for making Oblivion models?

In terms of free, I believe Blender with the NifTools scripts is the way to go. You can check out blender.org and the NifTools forums. I have no experience with Blender though.

I use Blender, still haven't worked everything quite out yet, but I'm getting there. A lot of people find Blender's interface very frustrating, but once you get past that, it can be a very powerful tool IMO.
