I think I follow the consensus and suggest that the shield is too different from the original but I liked Cabrons suggestion of it being for a unique addition . Its too good a shield to scrap so might I suggest that it be part of a more ornamental , dress armour set that is of lower protective value than the original but would be used on occasions of importance by say , high ranking Telvanni hirelings . Just an idea ...

Hmm, the shield design kind of reminds me of a dragon. And that reminds me of the legendary shield (that is not in any TES games) Fearstruck (http://www.imperial-library.info/dfbooks/b037_lysirius.shtml).


As revealed in TESIV, even if the physical form of a daedric artifact is destroyed, it will later return to Nirn again (from http://www.imperial-library.info/tsoo/tsoo08.shtml):

Not familiar with http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6383, eh (read description, you don't have to bother downloading)?

This made me smile. Yes, purists on one side and fantastics on the other. I count myself as a purist, so I'm glad to see that I'm in talented company.

I can't believe its wonderfulness !! It retains the original feel of the place but greatly improves it as well !
Very impressive work judging by the last screen-shots and even your previous releases. I really like the modular nature of the project although I'd probably end by using most of your work once it's released.



I am personally using Westly's re-textured Hi-res version and it looks great IMO. Especially the female version (I don't quite remember the male version since I barely used males characters). It has a small issue though : The skin tone doesn't really match certain heads but it's a minor thing considering the enhancement it brings to BB mod.

As for clothing, Darknut re-textured the better clothes mod and the whole thing (combined with his weapon/armor replacers) looks great in the game.
Westly's clothing project (another highly expected mod) looks VERY promising and it's going to be modular too.

Who ever thought (few years back) that Morrowind would turn to be very superior to Oblivion graphically ?

I only meant that Fearstruck was never in a vanilla TES game.

connary, you've got another eagerly awaiting this release. Keep up the good work!

connary, your textures are absolutely amazing. theyre so detailed and well-done, yet faithful to the original textures. your textures are probably the most atmospheric out of any textures ever created for this game. why did you take down all your textures though? just curious.

Also, is the allconnarytextures download missing some packs? There isn't anything for the nordic houses, a lot of the land textures, interior ground textures, and many others.

I hope you r a patient man,lol.


Humm, long history. Its better dont touch here such a matters, XD. But basically i decided to clean the net from my old mods with the idea of a nearly compendium release. Then some things goes wrong. I dont know which allconnarytextures you are talking.

Nice use of the concept art in the book.
Everything is looking beautiful.

I can crying ? :bowdown:
:drool:

great works, like usually ^^

Weird thing to go crazy over, perhaps, but that candle in the foreground is amazing!

nm

Wow, that green bottle resembles exactly that look-and-feel i always imagined the glass armor and weapons to look like. :foodndrink:
Awesome work as always connary and nice to see back on these forums mate. Any chance to get a glimpse at your work on the silt strider? :hubbahubba:


BTW:
Do these bottles have a 'real' reflection effect (using environment mapping or something) or is this just baked into the texture?

I'm most interested in how much percent of the work is done.
I'm getting eagerly sice connary is active at tes forums again. :laugh:

Absolutely ! And the writing on the potion bottles ! Wonderful Connary !

:shocking: :drool:

Just one question, what is the name of the book in that latest screenshot? While I love the idea of using concept art as Illustrations, it'll have to match with the text inside the book.

That's a pretty epic picture. Makes me want to reach through, take a swig of whatever is in the goblet and flip to the next page of that book.

Real life always takes away from precious morrowind time, haha. I can't wait for your full release. The picture looks absolutely beautiful.
I mean the pack posted on megaupload here on the forums a little while ago (I dont remember which thread, I thought it was this one, but looks like I'm wrong). That pack seems to miss some textures. Is there any way I could get a hold of your Nordic textures or any others?

One thing is for sure the books pages could do with being upped by a few polygons, as it stands it does not do textures the justice it deserves.

I am very impressed by those bottles, they look fantastic.

Is there a normal map on the bottle? I didn't know that morrowind engine allowed normal maps.

Thanks all for the nice words?? I dont post the quotes due the limited quoted blocks of text.




Silt strider, arrrghh :bonk: i will change this beast for horses, lol. No mapping. I deleted all mappings from my meshes except basic reflections and glows cause every change in MGE or in code patch changes the look of it. Some rare things appear an i decided to not waste any time with this for the moment , in the final process we can add all the effects needed but i dont want reflections that looks odd in several lightning conditions.


Impossible to say. Im changing things continuously but start to have a very final look in a lot of places.




Humm, Its impossible without creating special meshes for every book. Not im my agenda for the moment. I roleplay the idea that we are not reading the entire book only a chapter of our interest, then other illustration can appear without breaking immersion. Not the best but correct, better that gothic illuminations or nothing at all. Its all about collecting nice looking things.




I dont going to give more support to my old textures, simply i dont like them. In fact i dont know if i maintain any of this textures in my HD.




Yes it is truth but for me Morrowind its a polygonal island, lol. I dunno but i ended up liking the archaic look of things.



No.

Stunning screens, very nice!

I like that you're adding a little dock to Balmora. It makes sense that if it has a river that hits the ocean/sea running through it that it would have at least some boat traffic, even if it's not the bigger ships like the ones that run from Ebonheart and Tel Branora and such. I also like the stain below the drainage pipe.

I'm using your older textures right now, and looking at those Azura's Coast screens, I can't really see much different. It's probably more subtle than items like that book and potion. Still, looks good, keep it up!
