I think 'pink' (looks more red'ish to me) matches better with the other colors of the belt.

The blue Hortator belt looks best to me. As for those two robes, I'm not really wild about either of them.

I prefer the blue belt myself - and while the robe should be also blue (to keep an unified look) I don't really like the blue robe - the purple and black parts look out of place IMHO.

I like both belts, maybe the blue a bit more, but none of the robes. The "bonemold" isn't that bad as the "ebony", but I would change/remove the bonemold part.. it just dosen't look like it is armored.

Mmf. Well, in that case, I'll leave the robes alone.

*grumbles about wasting 2 hours with the UV mapping...*

Well, don't get rid of the Bonemold Robe material just yet. That one is a really nice robe retexture. I just don't think it works as the Hortator's robe. But on its own, its really nice.

TWO HOURS!? I hope you're over exaggerating...

If not, then I honestly feel sorry for you, what program are you using to UV map these?

Well, no, not for the robes. I'm using NifSkope. It does take me a long time to do stuff, because I have to constantly browse the CS disc for textures, try them on, tweak the UV maps, try different color combinations, blah blah blah.

Let me know what you think of these, as well as the other newest batch I mentioned a few posts back.

Also, I have a few things to ask your opinions about:

http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr50/Alaisiagae/Mod%20Screenshot%20MW/Misc/robe_hortatorv1.jpg - yay or nay?

http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr50/Alaisiagae/Mod%20Screenshot%20MW/Misc/boots_chodala.jpg - yay or nay? This will be a separate mod, as it requires Better Bodies for Silaria's boot mesh. I've already made a simple .esp for it and tested it in game.

I like the Telvanni door texture on an amulet. That looks pretty cool.

Not so sure about the limeware platter as an amulet though.

Love the boots and robe! I might have to cannibalize those textures for a female version; CanadianIce's Robe of the Hortator is nice and all but her Mantle of Woe has the same design in different colors, so switching out one of them would be no great loss.

Both the robe and the boots look nice. Especially the boots.

Wow, first time looking in on this thread. Everything looks spectacular. Can't you cannibalize meshes and copy in paste in nifskope to get the desired shapes.

Use an existing Ring model and then import the pearl mesh and oila.

Both the robe and boots ar FTW I agree with tealpanda, the limeware amulett is weird...

@blake: I have no idea how to do that. I know very little about nifskope.

@Petiboy: yeah, I guess the limeware platter does look a bit odd. I'll keep hunting around for another texture (might change the mesh if I have to), and see what I can do.

@everyone: Thanks for all the feedback! I'm going to start on the icons for the belts, as I'm still doing little tweaks to the amulets and rings.

There are a few ring meshes that I'm having a bit of trouble with. If someone proficient in Blender could modify them (some need the mesh broken up to take different textures, there's one mesh that needs a component slightly moved), I'd be very grateful! As it is, I can't put textures on them such that they look good. Hmm, MediaFire is doing server maintenance at the moment. If anyone is interest in the files, let me know, and I'll upload them as soon as I can.

Okay, I was able to upload the meshes. If you'd like to check them out, http://www.mediafire.com/?jiojc5d4kjy. I also included a readme that describes what changes could be made to the mesh to make it more manageable to put nice new textures on!

I've also made Helseth's Collar. I used a belt mesh, so ideally it needs to be scaled down. While I can scale down individual mesh parts in NifSkope, they don't end up being aligned properly once I finish scaling them. If someone would be so kind as to shrink down http://www.mediafire.com/?mnqztmqmj1v to the size of the other amulet meshes, that'd be fantastic!

EDIT: Oh, and I did some more items:

Let me know what you think of them!

Aww, I liked your old rendition of Arobar's Amulet. Oh well, though; this one's just as good.

I really liked the first Almsivi Intervention amulet, this new one seems kind of bland.

Also, I really like the Bonemold Robe. Just saying.

I'm inclined to agree with you, regarding the Almisivi amulet. I wanted something maybe a tad more low-key, but the new one is a bit boring. Too bad there isn't a Temple reward that is an amulet...

Looking good. Thanks for doing this, it's the little things that really add up!

Ooo! oo: They look very nice! The bands on the Basic Diamond ring and the Silver Ring look a bit narrow compared to the band sizes on the vanilla Morrowind Rings. :unsure: The fancier ring looks very nice! Hmm. actually, if you increase the size a bit, it might make for a nice decorative necklace/choker!


Thanks, Karpik! I'll have to test it out in-game, I'll try to do that soon (I'm on a roll with my spreadsheets at the moment). I hope it didn't take too long to resize it - I might want to go with a necklace or choker type mesh, if one is created.... Were you able to resize it in Nifskope? If so, could you walk me through the process?

I want to make the Vampire clans have unique amulets. Umm... let me know if these are a yay or a nay...

I really like all your work so far, but these Vampire amulets don't look that great. Maybe try something to do with the Bats, or blood?
just an idea.

A few seconds I did it with Blender - I'm not a moddeler, but I find it useful sometimes



The Divine amulet doesn't look bad, but the three clan ones just don't fit my game. Besides, why would the three clans want so similiar looking amulets in the first place? Aundae could be more ornate (mages like shiny things ), Berne common-looking (they favour stealth after all) while the Quarra one the most crude (they're berserkers). Just my two cents.
