Hi king evil,
Yes there is some progress, I have mainly spent the last week collecting resources, retexturing and making trees. So I had something to show I started the creation of part of the small island (images). There is still a lot of resources left to make and find. Palms and many more bush/tree varities are most important. If anyone can do this for me I havn't modelled much but these cant be that hard (i learn't to use blender when learning to rig). All they need is a bent tube with lots od curved planes sticking out of the top like leaves. I will do these (if they are not done already) once I've retextured everything I can.

I hate how oblivion can't handle fronds but we will just have to live with that.

Also there is a small problem with the Ndib apart from the lack of collisions they are not affected buy fog. All the colours on eventhing else fades but the Ndib just stick out and stays normal. Not a big deal but is there a way to sort this out aprt from make the weather clear 100%.

yer I know but that will be one long wait. Like I said he is not willing to let anything out until he has released it for while. I see why I would if I was in his positio. All of his trees and colour enhanced vanilla trees with different bark (i think, maybe not even that). I am doing this now, by selecting relevent trees retexturing the leaves and bark. I'm sure I will be able to model new plants. I think I will ask Azkur as it would take him not time at all to do it. I will do all the texture work.

Very cosy - :D note that it is windsurfer creating this ideal beach setting - the boat is cool, but where are the surfboards and the beachboys sounds?

Thanks for the comments, I only made that landscapoe because you asked to see what I had done. I didn't do it well at all. It was also nice for me to see what it all looked like together. I have already deleted it.

Flesh is going to send me the whole pack which I presume your mangroves are in. If you have anything you made which flesh doesn't have I would be very happy to have it.

No surfboards i'm afraid, they would be pointless anyway with oblivions lack of waves!!

here is the whole mangrove tree pack , the textures are just vanilla oblivion textures , but they look pretty good on the tree . Perhaps merge these into the next .esm ?

Are they Mangroves, they are just very tall unatural looking trees (branches come out at 90 degrees). This is what mangroves look like.

Edit:
Actually they sort of look like that:

Look What I got!! Dancing Banana
I found a palm model on Lady E's morrwind resources. It wasn't perfect as the fronds were a brown colour and the trunk was perfectly straight (since when is a tree like that). The truck texture was so bad (just pure textured brown) and so stretched that I redid it totally. I have bent the truck and will now make many variations of height and bentness (not a word I know).

Here are some screens:

Got soem more screens of how it looks now. The only thing which is entirely stock are the picture plants which look great as they are! Flesh I have also got all the Ndib so dont worry about that but if you have any other resources that will be great.

Only a quarter of the small island has been done but here are the screens:

Wow, that looks great! Great work windsurfer. I don't think there are any other resources besides the rainforrest trees made by Walrus, which should be in the Valenwood ESM. I've been so swamped lately I completely forgot about the N'dib set, my appologies Frown

You really need to get some more helpers around here, by now you should have a fair amount of resources to use!

Also just realised that none of the Ndib textures have normal maps! I'm supprised they even work ingame. That is also the reason why they are not affected by the fog and look so dull. (thats some more work for me too do)

I have also added havok to the ship (still need to be refined so arrows stick in, not sure if the rest does this either).

The problem is textures, we have many models, but not so many textured. We do have a lot of Camoran swords and a couple of bows, I just need to get them off of their modeler.

EDIT: And the screens look great Wind Surfer Good job! Amazing work so far.
