VinnyNotris Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 I'm working on making a quest to find the shark companion
Yanazake Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Actually the tiger shark texture fits the female argonian very well, even unexpectedly so. Anyway, I noticed that this is missing normal maps. You guys can probably use common skin normal maps [and other related maps] considering shark skin isn't slippery or scaly at all. Btw... this is only female right? :c I'm seeing a crapload of progress here, and a lot of people helping - and I'm even happy to see a new upcoming beast race... but female only is kind of sad.

Oh and yes, they are actually going to be lore friendly introduced, apparently Orcs really hate sea creatures. So I may have some tension in the factions between those races
Yanazake Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Actually, they should be more buff than common characters, then, like a variation of the wereshark. There IS wereshark lore hidden somewhere, I'm sure of it. What are you guys going to use for the head, btw? I'm sure a modification of the argonian head could be done, considering it already has a nice shape and a more than acceptable mouth for a shark.

I've been working on male textures, but for some reason I can't get them to show up in game. I've just been using the maps from the Edhildil Argonian texture for the females. I suppose I could pack those, as long as we give Edhildil credit for them. I'll keep working on the males and see if I can get them working.

Zeisan Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I made a couple more variants, and added the folders I use in game. I still can't get the males to show up in game and haven't figured out why. Here's what I've got. Shark Textures

Shark Textures unfortunately my PC just did a dskchk and ruined my OS, so I gotta do a repair install of my PC, I'm trying to backup all my files from all other things and including the esp in working on for the sharks. Goddamn stupid dskchk

I am working on multiple models both male and female, though i'm working on the female more right now, so it will be the first model i get done, but i will make male ones when i get the females out of the way.
VinnyNotris Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 I can't wait to see the models ^.^
GodSmack Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 if you want bigger argons(and khajits) there is a mod on nexus that makes them bigger and broader, dont know about females though
BrabbelKP Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Considdering normal-maps: shark-skin consists of lots of tiny, tooth-like scales, so how about using the human normals as base and add a filter to roughen them up a little?
VinnyNotris Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 We will finalize textures once we get the models

three7 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Interesting, but head is odd... Can you make some half-human version?
VinnyNotris Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Interesting, but head is odd... Can you make some half-human version? maybe after we do the original plan. Which is the pictures in the first post, however it is unlikely. We are probably just going to do the anthro sharks
lindazana Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 This race idea/WIP greatly interests me. I love shark girls...but, any chance of them being sexy and sleek, (like pics 4 and 6) rather than buff and amazonian? or, even better, small tweaks and release both versions? Or just make it body-slide compatable and everyone wins!

VinnyNotris Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 As long ad the base and primary models for female are that of the first picture. We also need to make a little backfin model so I can attach it to the race in the CK
lindazana Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Any plans on arm or leg fins? or head-fins as an optional "hair"? I'm just tossing out suggestions/ideas, not trying to steal your thunder, no worries. I'm horrible at modeling/texturing, but I'm good at making up crazy-ass ideas and decent at balancing racial modifiers.

And for leg fins on the foreleg or the thigh?

And for leg fins on the foreleg or the thigh? What about the fins on the back/upper back or possibly neck/head? I think those should be the primary fins to focus on for now
