Shield Bracers

[foto1000]

i just got an idea for making a mod.

in infinity blade 3, isa blocks with her bracers, and i thought it would be pretty cool if it was possible in skyrim.

does anyone know if there already is a mod, otherwise: Let's create it!

 

for anyone who doesn't know what i mean, look at the picture included.

1. block with that on your arm instead of a shield.

This is actually a pretty good idea. However, you can already do this sort of. Just wear a shield and make it really tiny to where you can't see it and wear any kind of bracers you want.

 

I did this for my mage play through (spell in one hand, small shield in the other) but you can make it super tiny to where its pretty much gone. There might be an option to set it to hidden, i'm not 100% sure.

There isn't. but you can just make a shield with nifskope that has an alpha channel and a transparent texture.

Omg I want this!

 

@Niobia: Do you resize them inside of racemenu? I tried but it won't work on the shield for some reason =( it does work on my weapon.

 

@morgananinuala: I have no idea about nifskope and all that, but it's time to learn, I always wanted to use shields but they're so enormous.

i'm going to try to make it, for the 100% done mod goal, look here:

but first, i'll just make a invis shield version.

 

i'll post a link to nexus and loverslab when it's done!

You know they have to be a total different Design bracers.

You might need the xp32 extended skeleton: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/68000/?

 

I'm not 100% sure. I just know it works for me.

just two things:

does anyone know to play the .hkx animations in the skyrim bsa's.

i already extracted them, but i want to view/edit them.

calling on an animation in skyrim is also ok, even better how to bind an animation to an item.

 

and

 

the only 3d modeling program i understand (yet) is sketchup.

is there a way to use this for modeling?

if i have to use 50 converters for this, i'm not gonna do it.

you can indeed, but if you resize the shield, actually everything in the offhand will be resized.

Quick Question, Does the size of the shield affect the effectiveness of it ability to block projectiles. I ask because I'm using the Yamato Sword mod so i've been using the Sheath as the Shield

nope, tough it should be possible to program, but i won't do that.

from now on i will post any updates on the programming of the mod on this thread.

 

i'm now done with the preparation of modeling.

now i will create the bracers and make a replacer version of the mod

 

edit:

it's going to take a while.
