yote Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I am still taking a break from from this. I seem to have forgotten several key steps in unpacking and repacking .bsa files.A few things that have kept me from wanting to start this back up:Complaints over the texture quality. Guess what, I happen to have no actual background in 2d digital media, so I am using the low resolution textures created by Blizzard for their models. You don't like them, either make your own, or don't bleeding use this mod.Repeated requests for armor imports. WoW torso, leg and belt armors are just textures mapped to THEIR models. The only meshes that could be used to make body armor would be the body meshes themselves. I spent two weeks banging my head on my desk trying to turn WoW character meshes into armor, and when that was turning out to look like shit, I tried the WoW approach and made the armor textures into color textures for nude skyrim bodies, which did not work. Furthermore I would have had to resculpt a nude male mesh to make it work, AND would still have to deal with people crying for their favorite body mod.Working on importing a singular armor sucked up 2 weeks with nothing to show for it.In short, stop asking me for WoW armor imports. I have no desire to tackle that problem again as I am full time college student, and I am NOT majoring in what ever the fuck you call computer graphics.What I will be doing, is fixing some of the outstanding issues with the weapons I have already ported, cleaning out the two erroneous items, the bloodknight circlet and the breadsword.I am only doing this because people still want this mod, and for some reason I feel ya'll should know WHY it hasn't moved.In Chinesehttp://bbs.3dmgame.com/thread-3382073-1-1.htmlZin'Rohk, Destroyer of Worlds Grand Marshal's Claymore Shadowmourne The Hammer of the Naaru The Greatsword of the Ebon Blade Apolyon, the Soul Render The Hellreaver The Tankard O'Terror Probably mostly good enough.The Bulwark of Azzinoth The Royal Crest of Lordaeron The Crest of Retribution The Bloodknight Defender World of Skyrimcraft.zip
Guest Lehshara Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Looks good in 3rd person, but in first it sucks, you should fix it. And btw. you have nice clouds there in Skyrim 0.0
yote Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 I'd love to fix the ugly textures, but unless someone has some tutorial handy for making higher res textures I'm at a loss.
zang187 Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 In WoW that was always my favorite 2h mace. Great mod, hopefully you'll share it with us
yote Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 In WoW that was always my favorite 2h mace. Great mod' date=' hopefully you'll share it with us [/quote'] Thanks. It's slow work. Weird things tend to happen when I port the weapons and shields in. Especially shields. Like the corner and spikes on the Bulwark of Azzinoth. It is also ridiculously huge and clips like crazy right now. But I got one my favorite weapons in WoW ported in rather smoothly. I did a lot of heroic tanking with it. But I don't know how to control how the weapon sheaths yet.
Tortanic Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I'm going to be watching this mod in hopes of an upload. These look awesome so far.
yote Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 This is the Greatsword of the Ebon Blade. It is making me angry. I can fix what I am now calling "pixel cancer" if I don't use a normal map, but then it looks like this. Another example of the pixel cancer. Crest of Retribution
zang187 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Pixel cancer or not, they look amazing. Hope it all works out, this is great stuff.
yote Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 Well someone beat me to the punch on the steam workshop.
Speakerphone2 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I love seeing all these! Brings back some memories :') Good luck on the project
yote Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Changed the orientation of the Bulwark to be closer to WoW.
night_flame1406 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 the greatsword looks lovely, hope to see this mod complete soon, nice job btw
yote Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Rimefang's Claw The addition of a normal map made from the low res Blizz texutres seems to be causing the pixel cancer. It might also be the environment mask.
scarredtitan Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Love the work i was just asking wen someone was gonna impliment WoW gear in skyrim. i ply both a lot lol.keep up the good work cant wait to see if u add armors
yote Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 Love the work i was just asking wen someone was gonna impliment WoW gear in skyrim. i ply both a lot lol.keep up the good work cant wait to see if u add armors Armor is in the pipeline, but significantly more difficult than weapons. Everything but head pieces and shoulders are just textures painted on the character model, and shoulders are divided into lefts and rights. I know how I want to start with armor, but it will take a lot of time to just add one armor.
scarredtitan Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Well take ur. time ur doing great work. im loving it lol think its awesome and ur really good at it. mucho kudos
yote Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 Hellreaver from Hellfire Ramparts. Still needs a normal map and environmental mask. Oh and maybe that sexy flowing lava animation. Maybe one day.
moozoo25 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Hellreaver from Hellfire Ramparts. Still needs a normal map and environmental mask. Oh and maybe that sexy flowing lava animation. Maybe one day. Now that has me stoked
yote Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 Anyone have an ideas how to get the sexy lava animations for the Hellreaver? And a slow pulsing glow effect? This is what I mean. http://www.wowhead.com/item=24044#modelviewer
inforsir Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 mind tryin this guy http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=28883 and if anyone could make it play its sounds while in game would make it god like.
yote Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 I think I got Hellreaver about 90% good. Still getting some weird bloom from intense reflected light, but I got a slow pulsing glow in the lava. mind tryin this guy http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=28883 and if anyone could make it play its sounds while in game would make it god like. I'll toss it in my list.
