[WiPz?] More Unique Jewelry

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 10:01 am

So, I'm working on this for my clothing rebalancer mod (yes, it actually exists now! No, it isn't done yet). There are so many special enchanted amulets and necklaces, but they all have the same appearance with little to differentiate them. So, I've started fiddling around with meshes and textures, and searching for resources. A big thanks to Daduke, IggyEGuana, and Arcimaestro Antares for the new meshes.

Nice work :thumbsup: !

I get tired of boring meshes/textures for Morrowind too.

Those are retextures, rather than new meshes. :) Also, I'm trying to use vanilla textures, so that they look okay (or even better!) if someone uses a texture-replacer.

Have a look at the Hidden Pathway by StarBoi (over at ElricM). He made some
fantastic rings and things (while a few inspired/based on LOTR, they would not
necessarily be so with a new texture or two).

StarBoi did make some nice stuff, some of which is also in his Magical Goods mod. The Varla ring is particularly cool. He said he isn't modding right now so he'd probably give you permission to use them.

I seem to remember Heaven's Lookout by Andy! had a nice ring mesh and maybe an amulet mesh?

He gives permission in his README; I wouldn't have mentioned them otherwise ;).
Magical Goods (a.k.a. HP 1.0) is included in the Hidden Pathway 2.0, along with
his Elvish Weapons pack and Epic Armory :D .

Ooh, oh, my apologies. I misunderstood what you were asking. :) Faylynn put out a necklace pack a while ago, but I can't remember if there were any new meshes.

I'll look forward to seeing the release of this, more jewelry and clothing is always a good thing. :D

Best of luck with your mod, I particularly like the amulet because they look so unique.
I also use the Unique Jewelry mod by Tealpanda but new meshes for very special amulets/rings should have been there from the start, so again, best of luck with your mod!!!

Faylynn's did have new meshes, as a matter of fact. I know because I am missing one. :D Those necklaces actually show up on your character when you wear them.

The screenshots look great. I particularly love the Ring of the Hortator, the antique feel from the metal band seems very appropriate. Perhaps a moon and star motif for the band of Azura's Ring? I know there's the Moon-and-Star ring, but all of Azura's statues have her holding a moon and star. I do like the blue stone, though. And the Amulet of Almsivi Intervention looks perfect.

I like what you've created so far. It's often bugged me that the Sixth House amulet looks exactly like the Amulet of Recall and Amulet of Shadows.

That always bugged me too. That was one of the main inspirations for making http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7335. I never changed the Sixth House amulet though. I didn't want to mess with the only blocked amulet in the game. I should add something for the Amulet of Shadows. *wanders off to mod*

That link to the 6th house amulet looks really good though. Good luck in the search for new meshes!

Thanks. :) Credit goes to Acimaestro Antares for the mesh, though. I tweaked the UV map on the 'head' part so that it included more of the ash-statue texture (and thus look a bit more detailed).


@Westly: those meshes by StarBoi are very intricate! But, they feel a bit too fancy compared to the other meshes in Morrowind.

@Dragon32: Thanks for reminding me about those - I know I've come across them a few times, but usually when I was searching for other things. Downloading now....

@Lyssia: Thanks for reminding me about that, I might be able to use one of those moon-and-star textures - either from the ring, or her statue. I've been staring at textures so much, my eyes sometimes glaze over and I forget about the cool ones. :P

@Everyone: If, you know, you want to make a new mesh as a resource I could use, that's would be totally great! *hint hint nudge nudge*

New stuff and tweaked things:

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

Tweaked the UV mapping on the Hortator and Azura ring, particularly the gems. Let me know what you think about the band for Azura's ring (none of the moon-and-star textures fit on it). I also made Sheogorath's Signet ring different; the band uses the Daedric Door texture.

I like it! Looks better with the ornate band, IMHO. :thumbsup:

Also, Sheogorath's ring is awesome.

how about a new Barilzar's Mazed Bend?

And I also we could make a ring with a skul on it. I have not seen yet something like that.

I think namira's ring has some sort of cow skull on it... which isn't quite as creepy and cool as a human-type skull. :evil: Let me know what you come up with! :twirl:

Oh, yes, a new Barilzar's Mazed Brand would be good. I'm not quite sure what to texture it (if I use a standard mesh) with, though. When I think of a 'brand' I think of hot iron (cow brands?). But the "Mazed" part makes me think of labyrinths. Do you have any suggestions and/or advice?

:facepalm: Do you happen to know of anyone who trains in the skill "Critical Reading"? It get's worse: I thought it was "Barilizar's" until Antares pointed out the correct spelling up there (though, Barilizar does roll off the tongue better).

I like the way those look actually. If anything, some of those should have custom glow in the dark qualities....

I got some ideas for the Thief, Mage and Fighter (heretofor to be known as the Warrior) Rings. See, they are the same as the Guardian constellations, and in Tribunal, there are panels depicting them (in the same style as in the http://www.imperial-library.info/astro/#A1 game).

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

I also fiddled with the two 6th house rings. One of them (the Blood Ring) had its Nif Material properties set to very dark, so I fixed that. Also, two of the common rings had non-standard material colors, so I corrected those, and now they look better. :P

Let me know what you think of the changes - I didn't go overboard, I don't think.
