So....getting back on topic, I really would love to see Connary?s take on daedric & especially glass. Some modders have made the daedric stuff glow and that looks amazing with the Darknut textures I currently use. The glass bit he showed so far looks great although its easy to tell its early stuff because he hasnt retextured all the glass objects so far, but it isnt clear if he envisions glass beign a bit transparent or solid looking green.

Connary's work is arguably some of the best in Morrrowind retexturing.
I remember back in 2007 when he released Illuminated Books, the level detail was immediately noticeable.
It is amazing of how much his retextures improve the overall look of the game.

This question has probably been asked many, many times before,
But what is the status of the complete morrowind retexture? I can imagine that such an undertaking will take a few years to complete.
I am just wondering how much of it has been completed.

It's getting quite far and wide between connary's visit here o_O I hope he's ok =)

He has been gone for months before, I'm sure he's fine

He probably goes away to some kind of secret Dojo, where, with the aid of 10 Monitor liquid cooled supercomputer, he creates these awesome textures.

At least that's my theory. :shrug:

When anyone takes on a big project like this is can take a very long time. So by him not posting just means he hasn't gotten enough new things made yet. He's stated that the stuff he made at the start of this project are now things he'd like to replace. That's how things go as you take quantum leaps in skill through the creative process. So between real life and massive improvement he just don't like to post just to post. He's drive by the joy of the creative process not by posting a lot just for fame. It fame was his goal then he would have his releases up for voting at PES so they would make the hall of fame.

^^. You know, it wouldn't surprise me at all. Makes you wonder thou how does this guy come up with all these wonderful textures. Merely looking at the screenshots posted on this thread (http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/9765/telv1om8.jpg http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/9590/sadrithmora1yw7.jpg http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1101/naga1jv5.jpg http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/9765/telv1om8.jpg), almost makes your eyeballs pop out of your head of the sheer amazement they provide.

I gonna give out my half-dollar and say that I believe that this guy is a professional. By looking at his material you get the indication that this dude is working on sometimes to perfect it, then he does it again, and again, and .. well you get the picture. It's professional stuff, so my thought is this guys works on some new game design for a next-gen game. Perhaps the next Elder Scrolls game, perhaps a brand-new MMORPG game, who know's. It just drips of ambition, charisma and quality over all he's work. You can't be a mere amateur and still create this wonderful things, or can you? Anyhow, that's my guess

http://bethblog.com/index.php/2007/11/06/mod-interview-talking-with-morrowind-modder-connary/ That may answer some of your thoughts.

I'm sure the megapack will make it in there, eventually.

If you don't allow voting then it can't make it in there.

But if he allows voting? ..

*Finished reading* I knew it! The guy is a pro! :celebrate:

It doesn't matter, so many people around here are amateurs and still create amazing work. Besides, the word "Pro" and the word "Amateur" are both just to describe if ones actual real life job is the thing they do, of course, there are many Amateurs who could easily be confused with Pros. Just look at the Blender Artists forum.

Skydye what did you do to your Avatard? it SCARES me. =o

I hope he replaces his Grazelands retexture; it's the one work of his I don't use.

I didn't like his first take on the Ebony armor textures, but the new ones... daaaamn. It's gonna make me not want to use any other armors.

Let's just say this forum has toughen me up over the years. :toughninja:

Sorry posted in the wrong thread.

I simply can't wait for the Ascadian Isles retex to be released.......95%? Pleeeeeease, can't I have it now?

Great work Connary, although I prefer Darknut's Armor, weapons, and creatures, your landscape mods and all the other miscellaneous retextures are so essential in my game. You've made a lot of people happy, myself included. Keep going man.

Any news???(Please,please, please, please say yes)

Yes... Um, no... Um... Connery's not in at the moment, please leave a message after the beep....... *BEEP*

Sorry to hear that.

He'll be back. He has disappeared for several months before and when he finally popped up again quite recently he gave us a lot of new teasers: Everything at the bottom of the original post was from his last re-appearance.

I've updated the links of a few shots so that they link directly to the full size picture.

Edit: A few major screw ups later... It all works now.

Damn....just damn...

I've been looking at the screens for 15 minutes and am simply marveling at the absolute beauty of it all.Morrowind has never looked better.Thank you so much connary.This is my most awaited mod

Bump for Connary 8).

Connary, I was wondering if you have seen http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7459? It is a mesh replacer, but I assume that if you edit the same meshes too (for shiny goblets or whatever) they wouldn't work together. Maybe you could contact the author and see if you can use them in the Compendium, if he doesn't mind?
