Texture Claims Open

If you would like to claim a texture please check this thread to see that it is not claimed yet, then post that you are claiming it. Please keep us updated regularly on progress, preferably with screenies. Ok, here's the new list of textures that need doing:

Armor:
--Mountaineer Armor: a heavy armor made from troll hide with iron plates overtop of it. A set with white hide and one with brown hide is preferable, please mix and match meshes for this set. The texture of the iron should look like the Iron armor, or the Legionaire armor.
--Wolf/Bear Armor: Use the fur armor set and the cuirass of the savior's hide mesh, and retexture it all to a new color. Feel free to throw in a few leather meshes if you can make them fit. Also don't just make the Bear and Wolf armors different color variants, mix it up to make them more unique. Unique helmet models needed.

Creatures:
--Rieklings: Retexture orcs to a pale riekling blue and give them pointy elf ears.
--Wolves: Just retexture stock Ob wolves so there are more color variants. (Black, Brown, white, flaming, and frost. Fire and Frost should have shader effects). [DONE]

Tilesets:
--Snow Cave/Mine: Retexture a cave to give it a snowy look (not ice), it should look like a tunnel in the snow.
--Moss Cave/Mine: Retexture the Cave and Mine Tilesets. The rock should be a kind of muddy color, and have a muddy look to it. There should be moss, lichens, and other types of funguses growing off it. Enough to give a "green" look.

Weapon Sets:
--Barborous Weaponry: Retexture the daedric weapon set to look like very battered steel or iron. There should be bits of rust on it, and it should be covered in dents and scratches. It should look like something that would be used by a Berserker, Bandit, Barbarian, or just a vagabond Nord who's been using the same weapon for a long time. Quality wise its meant to be between Steel and Silver.
--Huntsman Weaponry: Based off the Huntsman Weapon set that shipped with Bloodmoon. Use iron weapon meshes, or if possible through Nifskope cut the blades off Daedric weapons and paste them onto iron hilts. These weapons are sharpened rocks tied to wooden hilts, look in BM for more ideas. Quality wise they deal damage slightly better than silver, but break more rapidly than iron.

Once created please bring them ingame with the prefix 1SK (no modder's abreviations), leave stats and stuff blank please.

Rieklings have already been done, however we still need a new riekling helm(retex of Orcish) and curruias(retex of leather, made to look patchy).

Hey

I am a part of the team over a TES IV:Vvardenfell, so I thought I'd stop by and see if you have any texture jobs for me.
I want to work on the mountaineer armor. If you send me the meshes, I can get the general Idea, and then I'll create some textures.
I think you guys should come up with some concepts for armor, you made up, that fits Skyrim. I can draw some of my ideas for sets of armor, and creatures, and that kinda stuff.
But, anyways, I'd love to join the team, and help out.
Thanks!

Welcome!

As you seem to have guessed there's no concept art for the mountaineer armor. However if you get any interesting ideas feel free to express them on a piece of paper.

Someone will still need to model it though. Tongue

The original idea was to create the armor by welding together different pieces of stock OB armor in NifScope, and while making a new model is always cooler the NifScope approach is still a possibility. Yes

Now that I think about it I might do a quick sketch of this mountaineer armor thing if I get a good idea.

Anyway... thank you for offering your help, it is most appreciated. I'm sure you will get a chance to show your mad skilzzzzz!

Thanks Psychotic!

I saw there is no concept, but I think I can sketch one out.
I asked Ghogiel if he could PM me, and see if I could get him to design a model.
I'm not really a modeler, because 1) I dont understand how, and 2) no one ever taught me
But, I will express my 'mad skillzzzz' soon...lol
I guess I am a part of Vvardenfell, and Skyrim now....I requested to get into Black Marsh too...that was mostly because of the concept art though...lol
I think you should add a werewolf hunter armor, and faction....then ask slof if you can use her Morrowind-goth shop- werewolf coat, and hat.....that'd be pretty cool.

Actually, back in the old days of the Skyrim project, way back before Oblivion had even come out, I drew a concept for "Troll Hide Armor", and that is what inspired the mountainteer armor. Why I didn't post the original concept is beyond me, but oh well, this thread is very very old. If you would like, I can try piecing a mesh together in Nifskope (if I can figure out how, I've never done it before)-- overall that might be better to, maybe we can get Ghogiel to make something a little more unique/ellaborate for us if he's up for it Wink

BTW I've got a few other concepts here.

Cool

Thanks Siegfried
It would be great if you pieced one together
I have 4 concepts for Mountaineer Armor, but My scanner is broken. I designed 3 different types, Mountaineer armor, light mountaineer armor, and inlaid mountaineer armor.
I asked Ghogiel, but I havent gotten a response. We'll see.
If you didn't know, I'm working for 3 different projects right now, so concepts may take awhile.
I'm over at Vvardenfell, and Black Marsh too.
So, I'll get back to you when I get my scanner fixed.
BTW I added you and Psychotic to my buddy list, for easy PM-ing

RE: Cool

You can go ahead on the boots, gauntlets, and greaves. Retexture Iron Boots, Blades Gauntlets, and Steel Greaves. I'm working on the making the Cuirass right now for you, its basically done, but I have a problem with the arrangement with my Ni-Trishapes that I need to fix before uploading it. I'm not sure what to do about the helmet, whether we should just retexture steel or legion, or if we should do a new mesh.

Maybe

I'll start retexturing, but it mihgt take awhile. I have Photoshop on my mac at work. But my photoshop at home hasnt been ordered yet. So, I'm kinda stuck right now.
Unless someone teaches me how to use Nifskope.
I can do all of those retextures, and on the helm, I would use A custom Oreyn Bearclaw helm, just the jaw part(make it smaller of course), then put the back of a steel helm inside it, and then add fur or whatever to it.
I'd kinda like to have someone make a fur cloak that hooks on the front of the cuirass, and falls over the back. (Like the leader guy in 13th warrior)
Great movie by the way.
Anyways, just keep updating on progress.
Thanks

Edit 2007.07.16 17:21:
I figured out the basics of NifSkope so I have a lot of models, and textures. Thats all I did on the ride from Oklahoma to Montana.
I also have GIMP, so I can create some textures too.
Thanks for the cut and paste info for Nifskope Siegfried.
I'll keep working on the models, and textures.

Thanks Dan,

This is a concept model for the armor, that I made in NifSkope.
I have some more that I'll put up later.
The axe is from the druidic axe mod, that was released recently. The back pack was a modders resource. The Harness, and belt were part of a thieves tool belt mod.
I textured the armor, helmet, and sword.
The shoulder pads were based off of Pale_Dragons mod, but they are in game models, and textures so we dont need permission to use them.

Wow, that looks almost like an entirely new model! Great work man-- though the weapons should probably be removed, and maybe some of the pouches as they are likely to clip-- that's probably my biggest concern about this-- that its going to clip like a bastard-- if you could upload us a version with an esp and just the new nif that would be great, so we can try out and see how it behaves ingame. The textures do need some work though I think-- you probably should create original textures from the ground up, as the current ones look too much like they were just grey-scaled fur textures.

Overall good work though.

lol, yeah it kinda does.
I'm with you, the clipping issue is going to be a bitch to fix.
I would have done new textures, but my GIMP is flipping out on me. I installed the dds plugin, and it loads it, but the files show up like they are all alphas. So I can do anything with them.
But it only does that on my Mom's laptop.
When I get home I'll work on new textures.
But, thats not till next week.
Tweak it however you wish.

PS Whats your Email?, I'll send it to you.

I don't care if you screw it up lol, just don't get it 99% done then vanish lol. Modellers tend to be doing that of late =/

You must swear an oath to us that if you are sticken with zombie virus or ebola or rabies, you will give us prior warning and post any work up lest it disappear into the modeller's abyss with you =(

lol, I'll be sure to tell you if I'm stricken with a zombie virus.XD
Ohh, I'm not a modeller, I was just bored, and was supposed to be a texturer, so I thought hey, why not try modelling too.
I'm still working on it, I'm designing textures. But, I need to know how to make it where it has steel plates, then has chain/fur under it. That peeps through in some places. I can do that with seperate models, and textures. But I'd like to make just one texture.
I'm using GIMP.
-Tlo-

PS I was wondering if I could just design a model, and textures from scratch, see if you like it, and we can add it to Skyrim?
I have a cool idea I think you'll like.

Here are more concepts for Mountaineer armor.

Wow... no really, WOW! Eek 2

Are you sure this is not a completely new model?

Sorry for the late reply, been a bit busy in RL.

I especially like the second version of the armor, I think we should use it. Yes

Though why is it so bloody?

Also, I think the look of the helmet is a bit off though. Something like a simple fur hat/helmet would be more fitting I think.

Overall... Good job!

Its cool, at least you replied.
Cool, I made it bloody cause he is supposed to be a warrior, that kills trolls. But I'll make a second one that isn't bloody.
I'll make a different model.
Thanks.

I have some more models, but my NifSkope if trippin' out. So, If I get it fixed I'll post some more images, and maybe make a final rar file, to include in the next .esm file release.
Have fun!

Hey, I wanna claim some more stuff.
I want to do the wolves retexture, and the wolf/bear armor. Though I need permission to use Ghogiel's bear helm mesh. And I need permission to use DN wolf helmet, off of his wolfsbane helmet.

I dunno how, its too big to attach to a file.
Where do I put it?
Its only the models, and the armor textures. I didn't put the textures for the other stuff(bags, belt, that stuff) in the .rar file.

I'll be doing the barbarous weapons today. Due to time constraints they'll just be simple recolors, but I think they'll be adequate.

Sample:

The current daedric[weaponname]_n files can be renamed and used.

Look's nice n' battered. though it doesn't quite look metallic enough, I would perhaps make it a bit more grey and shiny. Also I would suggest re-texturing the handle to make it look more like a leather/wood grip (you can still use a stock texture for that). The spine like effect on the spikes gives away it's daedric origins, it should be bashed up in a more random way in those areas.

You can do some cool stuff with normal maps as well, which can radically alter the look of the weapon in game. A normal map with runes inscribed onto it can give a weapon a really nordic look.

all done

Done. Shall I post a link to the upload here, or email it to someone?

Also, I just remembered that they were supposed to have rust. Too late.

Edit: I just read your post. It isn't shiny because nifskope doesn't render gloss. As far as the rest goes, I know. I just needed to get this over with, or it wouldn't get done at all.

All weapons are included, including thequiver texture. I couldn't find a texture for the bow, so hopefully bows, arrows, and quivers all use the same texture file.
