[Req] Modeler needed to create a mesh replacement for a mod' : IV

» Tue May 10, 2011 4:59 am

Artifacts of Tamriel is supposed to be a decent dungeon crawl with some great weapons.
However, after reading the comments on Nexus, it appears that the author may have used a mesh from Morrowind and was required to remove it from the mod. I can confirm that the Hope's Fire weapon mesh is NOT included with the dl.

Is there anyone who would want to re-create the Hope's Fire weapon for use with Oblivion?
I'd give it a whirl, but I don't have Morrowind to reference the weapon (not to mention I pretty much svck at modeling :nope: ) Hell, I don't even know if it's a sword. I'm assuming it is.

If someone will create it and doesn't want to hassle with the release, I'll match it to the textures that came with AoT and then up it to Nexus for everyone to enjoy. Of course, the modeler would get full credit for creating it - I'd just do the packaging and release.

Crossing my fingers...

Hmmmm I'm interested, I like making weapons :lmao:

Hope's Fire is indeed a weapon, it's from Tribunal I think, http://images.uesp.net//thumb/d/d7/TB-Weapons-Hopesfire.jpg/800px-TB-Weapons-Hopesfire.jpg

I suppose I could ask Nico if I could use his assets, but I would like to see a "true" Hope's Fire.
That is a mean assed sword...

The readme states you may use it if you want to

, I wonder if I made that sword, could I get StarX to texture it (Expects him to now pop up and answer :lmao:)

Didn't even look at Nico's readme.

If you make it, I'll use it. I love your work.
And if StarX will texture it.... :drool:

Usually a good idea to look at the readme :lmao:, If you don't wanna use that then I'll make the sword

SWEET!!!! :celebration:
No hurry on this. When you have the time. AoT's been out a long time with the missing mesh.

Just to keep you posted: I started on the texture today. :foodndrink:

It's cool that there's a new model in progress that will certainly look great, but I don't understand what's wrong with Nico's version :huh:
It has the flame, the shape and some really great textures. What am I missing?

that IS and StarX make just as amazing weapons, and variety is always good

Well, Nico's shape is slightly different in several places from the reference pics for starters. Also the colors differ from Hope's Fire. There's nothing wrong with Nico's work (he's one of the most talented peeps out there!), but his scimitars weren't meant as Hope's Fire.

Thanks John, I just hope we can live up to that expectation. But we try our best. :foodndrink:

I think what confused me was the statement that Hope's Fire should be more "badass" than that, and I'd say Nico's scimitar is pretty badass already.

Anyway, I'm very interested in seeing what you and IS come up with.

Actually, I heard a lot of good things about Artifacts of Tamriel as well, but I was always put off by the screenshots that showed badly retextured vanilla armor etc.
I wonder if we could also find some modelers who'd be interested in making updated versions of the other artifacts found in that mod, like Lord's Mail (which is currently a retextured Legion Armor)... :ninja:

Oh you will, after what you guys did with the arsenal, i have no doubt hopes fire will be just as amazing! :pints:

Not sure who made that statement and it doesn't really matter, but Nico's blades look mean enough to me as well. I hope he'll be back for TES V!

@John: Thanks mate, that's good to hear. :foodndrink:

Woot! Again!

I think the "badass" came from me (I haven't reread my posts).
I recall saying that the screenie of nico's simtar was badass, not that the hopes fire should be "more" badass.
Also, as others have stated, there is nothing wrong with nico's models. It's just that when IS offered to make one, well, I jumped!
