Well it's been a while since my last mod release...

I took the time to polish my skills in modelling and texturing a little bit and I'm working on some new stuff for quite some time now. The release should be soon so I wanted to show you a few pics first.

The mod will add a new armor for both male and female characters, two new shields and a bunch of new weapons. 15 new weapons to be exact. All new meshes and textures of course.... nothing retextured or anything like that.

Most of this stuff is based on concept arts which were made for Warhammer Online with the exception of two or three meshes. For the first release I actually planned to add even more armors but I had to drop that idea due to the immense time amount that is needed for the creation of the various high-res meshes required for texture baking. It would have taken too much time and I really don't wanna spent any more time on this mod since I plan to switch to diffrent game engine after this is finished.

Anyway, here are the pictures. Take your time cause there are alot of them...

http://images.mmosite.com/warhammer/images/races/socc_07.jpg was made by a guy named Daarken. The whole armor has around 25k tris (triangles) and uses the HGEC body. The polycount could be lower but I was pretty generous on some details and 25k is still decent for a main character.

I'm not quite sure if Daarken also did http://images.mmosite.com/warhammer/images/races/socc_01.jpg, but I suppose so. Concept art was done for Warhammer Online. The whole armor has around 20k tris if I remember correctly.

http://www3.pic-upload.de/10.09.09/c87ow5sbtw.jpg were made by several artists for Warhammer Online. Can't remember the polycount for each one of them but none of them exceeds 2,5k. Most are around 1,5k.

The axe designs were made by Dan Scott for Warhammer Online. Axe01 has around 1,9k tris , axe02 and axe03 around 1,6k and axe04 around 2,3k.

http://www.danscottart.com/Images/Empire_Longsword_Epic.jpg made by Dan Scott for Warhammer Online. Has around 4k tris. Pretty high for a weapon, I know, but it has alot of details and since the mesh is also seen in first person I didn't had much of a choice. 4k is still ok though. Nothing dangerous for performance.

Design was also made for Warhammer Online. Don't know who did it. The mesh has around 1,6k tris.

Well that's obviously not a design made for Warhammer Online.
It's Genesis' Rapier from the game Crisis Core - FFVII. I made it sometime during last year and never released it. Decided to put it into his mod.


And finally two more WIP pics...

http://www.pic-upload.de/view-5226865/ABBowRender01.jpg.html

The first one is just another sword desgin for Warhammer Online and the second one is my try on the Ancient Bone Bow as seen in World of Warcraft. I just love the whole design of the bow. It was my favourite during the time I used to play the game.

Well that's it for now. Hope you like what you have seen so far....

greets nex

I love all those designs. Beautiful work!

Very nicely done. I especially liked the metallic finish on the high-res shields. I hope that when you finish, you consider offering a version of the mod that place your models and textures both in leveled chests, and for huge amounts of cash in one or two stores. Regardless, thanks for taking the time to work on all this!

Wow, those are some amazing models, and I like the designs. Keep it up! :goodjob:

Those axes look incredible

Wow, these all look very professional! Can't wait for the release.

Warhammer Dark Elf equipment in Oblivion?...
That what I've wanted since the start, you're my hero!
Too bad I use Robert's for both male and female.
But man, am I happy with this, thanks!

What an amazing quality!

god I wish i could model and texture...those are amazing! (well..I have to say i don't like the first axe, but damn! those swords - and shield - are AWESOME!)

Very awesome work. Bone bow =

That is some of the coolest, most unique stuff I have ever seen. :goodjob:

I would've liked the male equivalent to be more reminescent of the female version. You know? Two versions.

Beautiful work, nexon :foodndrink:


Love the design of the concept arts for Warhammer Online, if you ever feel like polishing your skills in modelling and texturing again,
might I suggest one of these:

AWESOME!

Give us http://blog.gamingnexus.com/image.axd?picture=blackguard-look-03.jpg and I will be soooo happy!

I'm going Dark Elf Sorceress, those armors are GREAT!

First, thanks for all your feedback.



I would love to do it this way but that would cause major incompatibility problems with several mods.





There is so many stuff that I would like to do but it takes a good amount of time to create stuff like this in a good quality. It's much more a matter of time than skill or anything else. Since I'm busy enough with my own stuff, I won't take any requests.

Still, I love the Guild Wars concepts. Someday I will definitely give the "Avatar of Balthazar"-one a try. Looks amazing and not to mention pretty challenging. We'll see if this will then end up in Oblivion or maybe TES 5.

wow .. this is brilliant. amazing armors & weapons!! can't wait! =3

everything looks great, hope to see a release soon

Ah, I came back to this topic to check out the models again and it seems the server is down for whatever site you uploaded the pics

I've finished the sword and bow mesh...

I'm gonna prepare the release now. It's scheduled for this weekend but if that is not going to happen then it will be next week for sure.

The bow is PURE AWESOMENESS.... :rock:

looks great :thumbsup: can you make two handed version that sword?

*jaw drops*

Damn Nexon those are freaking awesome.

So much details put in to the models , amazing work Nexon :foodndrink:

Already done. I will offer offhand and two-hand versions wherever I can provided that the design of the mesh allows it.

This weekend?
You're awesome. :mohawk:

I was on a foreign website and i found this http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.confrerie-des-traducteurs.fr/site/mods/armurerie/armes/les_epees_de_lempereur.php&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dancient_laws%2Boblivion%2Bmods%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DN3K%26rls%3Dcom.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&rurl=translate.google.com&usg=ALkJrhgWvuVrqW7cv9LFFGvL1mIY9izpxA , it looks a lot like http://www.pic-upload.de/view-5226947/EELongSword02.jpg.html

So it does,
it looks like it has a different texture; hard to see with the quality of the shots.
