[WiPz?] More Unique Jewelry

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 2:28 pm

From my experience, ring meshes in Morrowind are already unrealistically large as it is. And with the textures applied, they aren't that difficult to find on the ground, unless its like pitch black. Or, as I suggested before, if there isn't a texture fix applied.


The meshes for almost everything are unrealistically large... otherwise they'd look too small in first-person.

More stuff! This time: Belts.

http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr50/Alaisiagae/Mod%20Screenshot%20MW/Misc/belt_peakstarv2.jpg - I'm also going to change the enchantment to something more useful... I'm thinking a CE Frost Shield would be fun. If you have any ideas, let me know!

Okay, folks, do I have any yays or nays for the belts? :poke:

Looks good to me. How far would you say this mod is from completion?

Oh, I still have some belts I'm working on. I might try to do something with the gloves, but that's still a bit tricky! The mod will be done when it is done, I don't really have a time table for it. I work on it in my spare time (which varies a lot).

@C_Mireneye - Thanks! :) All constructive feedback is quite welcome. If you want to suggest any (vanilla) textures that might be good on belts, or if you want to suggest a belt/amulet/ring that should have a unique texture, speak up, and I'll see what I can do! :)

Aww, darn. Oh well. I'm basically waiting for this mod to be completed before I start my new game on Morrowind, hence my wondering on its completion status. I'll just have to wait more patiently then.

Well, given that the enchantment is a boring Fortify Willpower 10pts for 30 seconds... the same as a generic magic belt you can find on a merchant or loot container. I think Peakstar's belt should be a bit more unique and special - and useful for the Nerevarine. Otherwise, it's fairly useless. Maybe I'll increase it to 20pts Willpower for 30 seconds, or 10 pts WILL for 120 seconds (not unlike the duration for other unique magic items). Nothing out of place - but at least something useful to carry with you when you assault Red Mountain.

Here are some more:

http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr50/Alaisiagae/Mod%20Screenshot%20MW/Misc/belt_knuckknuck.jpg
http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr50/Alaisiagae/Mod%20Screenshot%20MW/Misc/belt_armorOfgod.jpg

What do you think?

Just the Stendarian Belt, and then I think that's it for all the unique or special belts. I'm going to maybe see what I can do with the gloves, but that'll be a bit trickier to do.

I have to do a lot more unique and special amulets, but the vanilla amulet meshes aren't very friendly to having different texture put on them, due to the mesh kind of being lumpy. So, if anyone wants to whip up some simple geometric amulets (circle, diamond (rhombus), triangle, hexagon, whatever), I'd be tickled pink to put some textures on them. Or, if you want to chop up some vanilla meshes and put a string on them, that's be awesome, too! A shell, a tiny mudcrab, a cliffracer head, a flower - whatever strikes your fancy. :)

Tad-da! http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr50/Alaisiagae/Mod%20Screenshot%20MW/Misc/belt_stendar.jpg. I feel oh-so-clever: the belt uses the Stendar tapestry. :P And I thinks that's it for the belts.

So, um, feedback would be nice. Oh, and some amulet models would go a long way to helping diversify all those many, many unique and special amulets you end up collecting over the course of even just the Main Quest, let alone the faction quests. :)

I'm working on gloves, but I'm not having too much success. I'm going to hunt around some more for resources. I'll post screenshots soon.

At this rate, it'd be more appropriate to rename this "More Unique Accessories".

You were thinking about me when you wrote that, weren't you. :P

Anyways, I see to be past the bizzarre computer problems that I was having last week (wouldn't connect to the internet at first, then after a few minutes the keyboard and mouse went dead :huh:) so now I can get back to the darts/throwing knives that I was going to make for you and maybe something for this project. ;) I think that I made a crude ring once; I was trying to add it to one of NioLiv's gloves mesh so a char could 'wear' a ring (didn't work though), but making a few ring meshes doesn't sound that hard to me, but mapping them may take a bit of creative thinking.

I'll get back with you later. :ninja:

I love the mesh you used for the Stendarian and Relan Family Belts. They both look great. I know that the Belt of the Horator keeps true to the original color scheme, but those colors never did do much for me. :P I really like the stone in Peakstar's Belt, though.

I like the idea of a more useful enchantment on it as well.

Hmm.. well, I can try to use the Azura robe in that case, which has nice shades of blue. Let me try that on the Hortator Belt - and I agree, the pink is a bit loud. :hehe: Still, I wouldn't put it past Uncle Crassio to give the Hortator something gaudy.

@Swrdphantom: I was wondering where you went! :wave: Good to see you again!

I'm pretty sure you've mentioned this mod but could you use any of the new amulet meshes in http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=1234?

There's only one mesh in there, and I used it for the "Amulet of Divine Intervention" already. I might try to use it for more stuff, if I have to, but I'd like other simple geometric designs like that - a rectangle, a square, a triangle, a rhombus/diamond (would make a better Divine Intervention amulet if I could just put the Akatosh dragon on it), a crescent/half-circle -- all with or without a gem or pearl mashed onto it (for instance, such as that trio of gems on the buckle of the exquisite belt mesh). :P

I'll get up a screenshot of the hortator belt (in blue!) a little later. I can also make the robe use blue, too! I'm going to actually experiment putting different textures on the exquisite robe mesh, which may or may not result in a complete and utter disaster.

Someone's already made a blue Exquisite Robe retexture, actually. I'll see if I can find it again... maybe you could use it as a reference for the robe and belt.

Edit: Found it. Here's Jester_Flailsworth's http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6904.

Yup, I know that one. I want to use vanilla textures, though, so that it'll look good with texture replacers - whatever they may be. I can already change most of the silk clothing part - the yellow, pink, and light pink - by swapping it out with the Azura Robe texture, which is exactly the same as tx_c_robe_exquisite_1_01.bmp, but in shades of blue. :)

@Swrdphantom: I was wondering where you went! :wave: Good to see you again!


I'm around, just not always when you expect it; gotta live up to the 'phantom' part of my screenname. :ninja:


Anyways, here are a few quick (not UV mapped or scaled yet) renders-

I have a catalogue (Pyramid Collection) that I'm sure will give me some more ideas. ;)

Which Hortator Belt do you like best? Pink or Blue?

Next up, I want the Robe of the Hortator to be special. I've fiddled around with the exquisite robe mesh, and I've come up with two robes:

http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr50/Alaisiagae/Mod%20Screenshot%20MW/Misc/robe_ebony.jpg

Would either of these make a good Hortator robe?
