Better Bodies Dagoth Ur? : III

» Sun Aug 08, 2010 4:59 pm

Has anyone made a better bodies version of Dagoth Ur and the Ash Vampires?

Agreed. I demand a nice bb version of DU!

Westly was working on a BB version of Dagoth Ur, but in the end I think the idea just fizzled. Many have tried! D:

From what I understand, a Better Bodies version looses the Dagoth Ur animations, and I have to admit that he wouldn't be quite the same if he just stood there.

Agreed. Although I did see someone who made a bumpmapped mask and some other changes, that would be neat. Perhaps some glowy eyes too ^^

That's not too hard to do. Anotehr thing that might be done is perhaps enchance the model in blender or something.

Tho I don't see why would it not use it's animations, Winged Tilight has also been enchanced by BB IIRC and she's using her normal stock animations.

There is no reason why a BB model couldn't use the Dagoth Ur skeleton. I have done it many times with various creature skeletons, just sometimes they require a bit of mesh editing in blender is all...

As I thought

at least there could be a workaround, otherwise this wouldn't work:

i'd like to see an updated version of dagoth ur, too

Dirnae was working on the animations to support the BB skeleton (else just applying the BB model to Dagoth Ur's base animations leads to distortions and awkward elongations of the neck, arms, and legs). I sent my part of the files for the BB Dagoth Ur to Dirnae a while back. Maybe he lost interest and felt like moving onward to a new project (as taking a break from something is just fine by me as it keeps the mind fresh and ready to go). Else, there is more info in the previous BB Dagoth Ur thread ...

What if you used everthing else besides the BB body? Wouldn't that work? Let alone that would be a great improvement. The mask you made looks great ^^

I assume you are speaking of copying and pasting in nifskope? Those distortions are nothing that can't be fixed up in a 3D program.

reminds me of the effect almalexia spellcasting animations had on my half-naked darkelf. is this the same issue?

I see the makings of a full-blown Dagoth Ur replacer, right here in this thread.

Plz give me that Ur replacer, or I'll throw a jar of cookies in your face

Pretty nice! Personally I'd just make the lips a bit thinner, but other than that it's pretty cool :thumbsup:

Dagoth Ur's mask is a funerary one from ancient Egypt?

Well it's not mentioned as much as I know, but it's not unlikely that devs were inspired by it.
