Hope's Fire

Aellis requested a mesh for the Morrowind weapon Hope's Fire as this mesh was missing in the mod Artifacts of Tamriel. My partner in crime InsanitySorrow offered to make the mesh and twisted my left arm (very cunning as I am right handed so I could still work on it!) to create the texture for the weapon. Well, I'm glad he did as I think the weapon turned out pretty well. :foodndrink:

-StarX version: which has darker ornaments and details: http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1289618720/gallery_114_64_126123.jpg
There's no esp so you need to get the weapon(s) ingame yourself. Icon that can be used for both weapons is included.

Mesh and textures were created from scratch, so no Bethesda Softwork assets have been used.

Great intro :lmao:

Nice!

I can't wait to see the other artifacts, such as Chrysamere perhaps? That'd be awesome.


Ah, I see that this is for the mod Artifacts of Tamriel, and Chrysamere is included in that. Are there actually new meshes and textures, or is it just a simple retexture?

Yup, and every single word is true!


I have no idea really, as I don't use that mod myself. We just made a new model and texture for Hope's Fire. And please be quiet on things like Chrysamere or The Insane One will start twisting my poor arm again!

I wouldn't do that :whistling:

Awesome texture job StarX, I really like the detail. And a great model as always IS. :foodndrink:

Thanks , Though Star gets all credit here, he did a wonderful job with that texture

Absolutely stunning work StarX and IS! :foodndrink: The textures are simply gorgeous StarX and I prefer your darker version.

oh my god.

I'll use that sword with DR 6 for sure :toughninja:

Thx so much Starx and Insanity Sorrow. I hope to see some other Vvanderfell artifact in a fair future (i miss so much "Ice Blade of the Monarch" and "Spear of Bitter Mercy" ?_? ) your model&texture work is wonderful :goodjob:

Thanks for the inspiring words all! That keeps a man going! :foodndrink:

I begin to cry .... :touched:

There will be an update later today to fix the hand position as it was a little off and also to add flaming versions.

I like this one a lot! Great work :thumbsup: *downloads*

Updated file with fixed handpositioning released! Download V1.1 at the same location please. :foodndrink:

Wow, that looks awesome! And dayum, you're working on Chrysamere?! You two are my heroes. InsanitySorrow, please keep twisting that left arm of StarX real good.

Will put it on the Morrowind nostalgia list, of course.

Thanks, mate! I threatened to bite off my right hand if he kept on twisting my arm like that, so he finally stopped.

And yeah, we're going to try our hand at Chrysamere now.

:o

Thank you!

Shocked?.....Why? xD

I like making these weapons, simple yet, amazing to look at

Not for lore purists, but a great addition we included in version 1.2: offhand and flaming variants and a Hope's Fire Dagger! :foodndrink:

Screenshots made by Hanaisse from the offhand version and the flaming version can be seen on the download page!

Well, I'm glad. It's nice to have artifacts back in the game. I hope more can be made too, hoping not to sound too, er... picky.

It is nice to have more :yes:, Though I think Hope's Fire and Chrysamere will problably be the only ones we release

A picture of the dagger version has been added to the downloadpage. And can be seen in http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?app=gallery&module=images&img=11701as well.

Cheers! :foodndrink:
