Ooooo, swampy. Looks awesome.


-kwm


edit - just watch the other vids, really very impressive. One little thing... Remember to take safe backups of your work!

To be honest, when I posted it was now an open project that was for Cyrodiil :facepalm:
Would you still be interested in assisting for Cyrodiil, and then possibly down the road for Argonia?




I explained it earlier in the thread somewhere, but the Darkmoor village houses are an eggsack of sorts that is soaked in water until it absorbs it and becomes a giant balloon type thing. This is a extremely early version of that without any support on it currently to keep it up.



Thats actually what Im going to be dedicating much of this week to, creating a much larger array of fauna for Darkmoor.

That's great Zackg.

Though I probabily already got too much on my plate, I'd be happy to do some interior modding for both Cyrodil and Argonia down the road.

So much modding to do, so little time :ahhh:

Excuse me for this question, don't get angry please....any city screenshot?

:clap:

How can you ask me not to get angry at a question like that?!?! You have a lot of nerve Steve!!!

lol Please excuse my sarcasm

I assume you are referring to the Argonia project and not the Cyrodiil project, of which I will say I do not have any cities worth showing. I have lame models completed here and there but overall what you see in the video is kinda what you get.

uuuu I see...thanx!!! Good work!

Just gonna post some words of encouragement: I really like what you've posted so far, it looks like it's gonna be pretty cool, and different from other landmass mods, in terms of climate - I like the idea of another swampy climate instead of more grasslands or mountains or a Tolkien-esque forest. Not that the others are bad, but I'm looking forward to this one, it looks like it's gonna be pretty cool. I haven't modded anything myself, and I imagine it's hard work but I've also seen some really cool stuff people do with Morrowind so I'm glad you guys keep doing what you do.

Those screens...are.... Sweet :bowdown: :goodjob:

Bouncing back and forth between projects and heres a little update.

For Argonia-
Ive fixed issues with one of the new plants and a few of the ferns.
I have drawn a few more designs and some more ideas for the plantlife in Darkmoor.
Ive begun retexturing the GreenWay Coast so that there is a smoother transition between teh two regions.

For Cyrodiil-
Ive seperated the Great Forest region with the Heartlands region
Ive made numerous plant models and textures, Bergamot , Summer Bolete mushrooms, Viper's Bugloss Monkshood. Clouded Funnel, Fly Amanita, Green Stain mushrooms, Motherwort, Primroses, Somnalius ferns and the Steel Blue Entoloma mushrooms.
Also been studying the constructs of redwoods through reference pics, as they are the dominant tree in the great forest.

Curiosity strikes me, are you going to do Oblivion as well?

I would love to see someone do the oblivion realms!

With the sheer size of what Im doing I dont really think making Oblivion would be feasible.

Ok, I think the only way to progress on these mods is to make goals and then set a deadline for having them done. I already do this myself, but from now on Im going to post them here so people can see just how the mod progresses. Ill post every Sunday of what I expect to have done by the following Sunday. So here goes..

For Cyrodiil-

Finish 3-6 Redwood trees for Great Forest
Make textures for Redwood trees
Make Ferns for Great Forest region and texture
Create the Heartlands plants, namely Morning Glory, Lavender, Water Hyacinth, Nirnroot, and the Sacred Lotus


For Argonia-

Model Bending root/flower thing
Model plants that hang from trees
Switch texture paths so tree leaves have more variation
Change greenwaycoast grass textures to more desaturated look

Nice forest shots! I know that it can be a big performance hit, but I just love dense forests for Morrowind. Reminds me of Solstheim, in that way.

Cool screens!

Indeed, looks very nice

Great Forest comes in at half way through.

I reorganized my photobucket account so screenshots taken before this post will probably not work.
With that said, heres some screenies! =-D

Looks fantastic. Is it just me, or are the trees in screenshot eight all a little too parallel? It might look a little better if the occasional tree had a bit of a lean.

Very nice job so far.

I was wondering can you tell me where to find an Elsweyr template?

Wow! Amazing Ayleid ruins zackg! You have some serious modelling skills!

You really need to start a new thread for Cyrodiil

Its gettin there adn Im almost ready to do so =-).
