Different robe shapes?

Post » Sun Aug 29, 2010 6:12 am

I've never liked the huge round rigid puffy sleeves that the robes have. It looks like the character stuffed 20 pillows up each sleeve or something. Are there any mods or anything that change all the robes to have tighter sleeves and/or even a bracer-ish look to them, like http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://th02.deviantart.net/fs28/300W/f/2009/247/5/9/Speedpainting___Dark_Wizard_by_godofwar.jpg&imgrefurl=http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/141/index/3141746/1&usg=__Cinh6cBRUqFAJ1C0yq1rmnzEZlY=&h=531&w=300&sz=36&hl=en&start=26&tbnid=JoMdLF-V-mWfXM:&tbnh=132&tbnw=75&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddragon%2Bage%2Bmage%2Brobe%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26rlz%3D1T4ADSA_enUS380US380%26biw%3D1579%26bih%3D588%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1 robe? I always thought MW's robes looked a little too monk/priestish. In the heat of battle, having all those loose flappy bits would be really annoying...

Sorry, there are not. That would require a LOT of modeling, and modelers for Morrowind are somewhat scarce.

hmm i am not sure it would requoire alot of modeling. you would only need to close off the robe ends making them narrow right?

Also, if that is too much, you could always take the sleeves from a BB shirt which has close off ends and then apply them to a robe no? ( that might be easier)

But i cant model so I might just as well throw hot air into the sky or somethign :shrug:

If I ever actually get into modding myself this type of thing would be the first thing I do...but with my work schedule the way it is, and my lack of even rudimentary knowledge of anything technical, that might not happen for a long long time, if ever. Ah well. Some robe mods do this, but it's always for female robes... I don't think I've ever seen an intricately modeled male robe (intricately textured, yes, but modeled? no)

CanadianIce's http://canadianice.moddersrealm.com/RobeReplacer.html has better meshes for the female robes and some of the male ones as well.

The problem with grafting sleeves from a BB shirt on is that they won't line up with the robe body - there would be gaps, and they would look horrid. And making the robe ends narrow is more work than you think: since vertices were moved, the sleeves would have to be re-weighted, and that can be fiddly. Plus, you would have to do it for every... single... robe. As modeling goes, it's not a hugely complicated job, but it is a fairly big one, and it would have to be done by someone who knew their way around Blender or Max.
