Really hope you can work your magic on them! :thumbsup:

I do too. My plan is to make two versions. A higher res vanilla ghost. And a more ... traditional ... variation.

This is going to be great!

Pictures added. Still gotta try out this stuff in game

I confess I had missed out on your textures until I saw the thread about your Gatekeeper retexture here, but I was impressed by what I saw, and searched for your other rextures, so far, I've been quite pleased with the results. And I look forward to seeing what you're doing with ghosts. Hope you'll have screenshots ready soon.

Edit: Guess I'm a little late to be saying I hope screenshots will be ready soon, seeing as they are, now.

The screnshots do look rather promising so far, the face on the first one is rather creepy, which ghosts are supposed to be.

Oh, that actually looks very good. The black eyes are a good idea!

Thanks. The uv mapping is a bit funky (mirrors the left and right side) so I couldn't get too detailed.

wow those picks looks amazing! keep up the great work dude! :goodjob:

Wow, the mesh actually looks really bad. That's not your fault or anything, I just think it's more noticable with your new textures, all the clipping kinda sticks out more if the rest of the ghost is so much darker.

I'm not so sure about the black eyes. They look too big, and I think the effect you were going for - that hollow-eyed empty stare - doesn't really come across. It looks more like it's simply a dead Bosmer with huge eyes.
Also, the lips are very pronounced, and big. With the open mouth, it creates the association of an infant. Like, not a scary infant, just an infant.

Yeah the mesh is terrible. Plus transparency on top of transparency is a big no no. In game the face distorts into a pained expression and the mouth opens and closes so it's a bit scarier.

Edit: Actually now that you mention it he does look rather baby like! I'm not sure if that adds to the creepiness or detracts from it. The eyes had to be that big because of the [censored] uv mapping. And I guess it does look a bit like a baby alien. Are baby alien's lore correct?

Aaaaaghhhh!

in game pics up.

Very nice.

wow. that is one of the biggest improvements ive ever seen, youve really out done your self here sir!

Looks great.

Was wondering - just a suggestion - if possible to change the glow or even remove it for a more stealth effect instead of the happy halloween here comes that ghost glow.

Should be. Not sure where that get's added onto the mesh though. Could be in the cs?

Looks awesome.

Nice to see Myth around these parts again! Ghosts look good but the horrible vanilla particle effects look bad in comparison.

Thanks! Got rid of the inner transparency on the high res ghost. It looks a bit better now in my opinion. Gonna see if I can finish up textures for the wraiths. I'll post pics in this thread.

Also found these http://www.gamesas.com/?showtopic=1074031 on my external hard drive. Looks like Goblins might be included in the ghost release.

Ghosts and Goblins ... Oh my!!

The rags look great on the ghost. It makes me think of executions where the victims have cloth around their faces.

Wraith Pictures added Thoughts? Fears? Nightlight requests?

I'll need one.

Great job on these! I especially like the variation on the ghosts. Could we see more variations with the Wraith? And I'd like to see what you can come up with for the 'king' wraith (can't remember what these are called... :sweat: )

Working on the king wraith now

Gloom Wraith added. Tried to keep a bit of continuity though out the ghost textures: holes for eyes, not overly evil looking. Kind of think the vacant dead look is creepier than the vanilla evil expression on the textures. But that's just my humble opinion. bliviongate:
