Hi,

I've been out of the loop for a while and can't remember if there are any animated chests out there (ie, ones that have their lids open). I've searched around and can only find ones for Morrowind, or ones that say they are filled with gold and gems (I want them empty). Does anyone know of any?

That one has an empty animated chest.

There was also a project going on here not too long ago to make chests that items could actually be placed in. I believe it was for a project on ORE. Meek may or may not have been involved.

found it: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1037394-req-openablecloseable-chests/

I believe Harvest Containers just changes the model slightly, it doesn't actually open the empty chest so you can see what is inside... I'll try it out again to make sure




I didn't realise Starcon's had an empty chest. I'll take a look at it. But I'm hoping for different types of chests as well, not just the one (animated vanilla ones would be best). I'm trying to cut down on the amount of modelling I need to do personally as I have enough other things to get through as it is. My hope is to put items into the chests, so if anyone knows about the mod showler mentioned that would be very helpful.

Thanks! I'm reading through it right now.

Hmm... seems there is only one chest model for that one too, and it doesn't look like it was released...

Looks like this might be something that got missed this time... I might have to make my own, unless someone knows of something I'm missing...

There was one model and several textures being worked on.

Meek was going to use it in a special town for thieves she was working on, and that project is ongoing. The Resource release may be being held back until that town is released since it was a custom request.

Likely, you'd have to contact her or the modeler to see how much the project continued. If the technique was locked down, then it might not be too difficult to get extra models made.

I've PMed the modeller. Hopefully the news is good.
