[WIP]Mermaids

[Monsto Brukes]

I got bored and made some tridents..

 

 

They need to be unwrapped for texturing.... Glad i left the stack on the spiral one..

 

And if you need any help with meshes Suludi you can ask me, and i will help in any way i can. 

 

lol nniiiice.

 

your work, as always, is top shelf. These are very good starts and concepts which is why they won't fit in skyrim (=

[mantaman]

 

so, i just now decided to add bandit camps, didnt know they could go into wilderness cells so fast, anyway, i'll be seeding the land with buildings and npc's(once we finish the mers)

 

oi, btw, anyone know where i can find an imperial tower, pre built?

[Suludi]

 

blah

 

more blah

Suludi, did I already mention that I love you? Seriously, without you this thread would just be another all-talk-no-work topic. But you actually have the vigor to push this forward and now it even looks like you're doing this alone. I know that I already mentioned before that I think you're doing awesome work but I guess this can't be mentioned often enough. No bootlicking intended. I am just couching what (hopefully) every mermaid-fan here is thinking.

 

Keep up the good work!

 

 

Thank you.

Those are awesome! Much better than anything I can do. Can you make a coral one, too?

 

alright here's an offer. . . 

 

I put up the site for hdt support. If you want, I can put up a private forum or irc or whatever for mermaidmod dev. Right now there's only a small handful of people involved, but it would aid communication and just be as organized or messy as needed.

 

Suludi: youtube, nightasy tutorials.

 

Any scripters paying attention in here?

 

I think it's a good idea to move the development phase elsewhere. If you want to set up a forum, that would be awesome. And I already discovered nightasy and will check out his?her? videos. Thanks for the tipp!

Whoa, you're working on the worldspace now? That may get us into trouble cause everything's packed in a esp, not an esm. If you want, I can put the landscape into an esm, then you can plant your changes onto it with an additional esp.

[mantaman]

oi, sure thing man!

[skirmish]

Hey guys. After browsing around and reading this thread early on, I decided to make my own mermaid mod. But, then I got distracted by other modding things and life things and I just have this model I made and I thought I'd let you guys use it if you wanted. Keep in mind though, it's not finished by any means. I've been having some problems with faces not showing and it's not UVW mapped.

 

It's the SevenBase Natural 0 weight body. Converting it to 100 weight should be as simple as swapping out the torso and welding the verts.

 

I've never done a body mod before and I'm not totally sure if I did it correctly. I converted it to an editable mesh after it had been rigged to the skeleton and then modified. Which makes it easier to skin wrap for weighting, but It might give it some distortion or something. Either way, it shouldn't be hard to fix if it's wrong. If someone knows that'd be great and I could fix it up.

 

Anyway, after being unhappy with SevenBase weighting in the elbow areas, (the actual mesh I've noticed is kind of messy as well) I was thinking about doing a CBBE version or finishing up working on a modified SevenBase body I've been messing with and using that.

 

Anyway here's some pics and the download of what I had so far. It'll work in game, though, not well.

[mantaman]

all these great mermeshes, yessss

 

yaman, cbbe seems like a good idea, since (im guessing) all the other mermeshes are cbbe?

[Suludi]

Mine is. So now we have four different bodies, that's a good start. Thank you, skirmish!

 

Mantaman, I'll esmify the worldscape tomorrow and put it up for download. Just keep in mind that it's not finished yet, I'm thinking of deepening some parts but if you stick to the islands for now, it shouldn't be a problem.

[mantaman]

suludi, take your time man.

[Suludi]

Woman, but ok.

[Suludi]

My new wallpaper. (Ignore the two ships stuck into each other, LOL)

oh man, thanks EB, i finally got my favorite mertail

 

and, as you would have guessed, i used the crawl on fours animation, and, good god, its the perfect animation set. aside from the fighting animations, they can be barely tweaked

 

so far, ive tried doing animation breaking stuff with the merbody, using grindstones is very awkward now, and when riding a horse, the tail mainly clips into the horse, but enough of her tail is shown to make you think she's riding side sattle

 

oh, and Suludi, i tried the tail with your swim animations, they're beautiful together

 

and finally on an unrelated note, i modded that bandit hideout to be camouflaged as a sunken ship, will post screen shots soon

Really man? That's all you have to say? Honestly EternalBlack, I think it looks great. Please keep up the amazing work.

Ok I'll say more . . . that I was being sarcastic.

 

In a sea of more and more mediocre hacks, this and vioxsis work always stand out head and shoulders above the pack. 

[Suludi]

How do I download it? What's a decryption key?

You will find it if you read the TC that pops up

[Suludi]

LOOOL - typical case of TL;DR. Now I feel stupid.

 

Thank you!

Hi Suludi, I hope you can make your version of the mermaid tail as a playable race too, included in your Lakerise.esm.

[Suludi]

I'll certainly try but it will take some time to understand weightpainting in 3ds max. I wish I could do the entire thing in Blender where I'd at least KNOW what I'm doing. I also want to include my pretty new scale texture for the upper body.

 

 

[firepower02]

Wait, are the scales texture for when they are human, or when they are a mermaid? If they are in mermaid form, I hope you will cover their nipples with scales, and a few other places on their upper body. I'm not too keen with them being scaly as humans, I really hope they are for their upper body when in mermaid form.

[mantaman]

oi guys, i ran into a few problems

 

the mermaids can only wear the glass/ebony gauntlets and helmets, although i think i can fix that

 

and, as much as i expect they'd be able to wear clothing without legs (dresses) they cant, i'll see about fixing it soon

It'll be fine in human form. As it is above, I think that's perfect. . . just a little subtlety to show that "hey i'm something different than just a normal humanoid"

[Suludi]

We can make different presets.
