doing females later today.

it's great to see how little response a walking cactus race gets to a cuirass...

No tension mate, just sad to see daywalker go if for a silly reason.

:laugh: That's hilarious, I thought it was a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOrM7K2AYdY. It's right cute with that tummy of his too. Why not give him a face and have the barrel as a helm? Dead curious how you're going to dimorphisize the female. Hope you not just going to slap on some t*ts :shifty:

haha yeah actually and make them a bit thinner and more "fair" in appearance. nothing.... unnecessary... cause they're cacti.

That brings it back to my pun about 'pears' - you could strategically place two little budding cactus pear fruits. :cookie:

hahaha, i could... i can... i might... :celebration:

^^ I'd rotate that gut 180 degrees so that the cacti has more of a bust area. Then if you want to add "pears" no one's stopping you . Interesting race btw.

It's not a "silly reason", in the sense that he's not leaving because of one conflict with one member. TDW sees the existing lore of the game as fundamentally opposed to his creativity, and he hates to work within those sorts of limits. It's a philosophy that doesn't really mesh well with the Morrowind community, because a great deal of us (myself included) do care about the game's lore, and like mods that fit more or less seamlessly into the existing template. Tamriel Rebuilt is a great example of a mod that is creative and distinct while working within the confines of the Elder Scrolls lore, but as he's stated before, he's a TC kind of person. He doesn't like adding to what's already present, he likes bulldozing it and building something fresh. So it's probably healthy that he's leaving (or taking a break or whatever ends up happening) because this isn't a conflict that's just going to go away and he's only going to be frustrated the longer he remains here.

Skinjack is finally figuring out this texturing thing. (Gee, that's only taken what... four years?) With a huge amount of assistance from AOF (who helped me figure out uvw unwrapping) and Chainy (who is currently still beating me over the head to get the texturing thing straight). There should be automatic sainthoods granted to anyone who is stup... er...um... brave enough to say "Sure, I can help you with that, Skinjack." Thanks to them and to all the modders who take the time to pass along the tribal knowledge of modding.

Not sure I'm satisfied with this yet, but its a decent start for a first texture. Sorry the pic is grainy. I really need a computer with a video card. Or a better screen capture program. Stupid integrated graphics. Whose bright idea was that?

That looks pretty cool

Was http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj197/dagoth_jeff/ShipAss.jpg once upon a time.

Holy crap Skinjack made something with a texture on it?

It looks very Final Fantasy-ish, which isn't a bad thing. I think it is pretty well done. Perhaps the pommel/hand guard (whatever its proper name is) might benefit from some more/different style detail, and maybe a better grip texture?

Wow man, looks awesome! Love it :goodjob:



Crap, that's nice! I might as well give up from my share :glare:

(:P)

Was kinda furious I had to start the wood over again, but this time it turned out better then I imagined it would be.
Few pics:

What you all think?

That looks incredible Chaka, and I imagine it integrates very well with the rest of the game.

http://i53.tinypic.com/2ldyomu.jpg

Unbelievable! The wood looks so dark and gloomy, yet warm. Somehow warm...I gotta say that the exit/entry hole thing is EPIC! I love it! I can't wait to see more of this. Who exactly will be inhabiting the wood? Some sort of Sylvan people?

Chaka ZG that wood is amazing! Nice job - show us more!

A crib - now there's an expression I haven't heard in a long time and the last crib I stayed in was definitely more run down than that

I'm a very slow modder, so you'll have to wait until I actually make more but thank you, you guys are boosting my ego



Hehe thanks. This is like uh...remake of the Silvarga wood I was working on some time ago (just as everything else, I was not satisfied with my work back then hopefully it won't happen to this work as well ), so the story is the same as in old Silvarga forest. Can't find that thread atm, so long story short, in ancient times young wizard did something very wrong, creating a path to the hidden temple by making his way to it by roots and trees. This area is version of that forest, really mutated forest my the magic and stuff, and these interiors are deep somewhere in the middle of those trees (hence such a darkness, and warm gloomy atmosphere, it was just what I was aiming for, and I hope I'm going in the right direction). If anyone even remembers the old thread, the bottom of this wood is where all those crystals of blood are and evil souls roam.

The "epic" hole you see hehe, is one of the exits from the forest that goes to one part of the treetop city (at least by my lore, it hasn't been made yet ) that looks on other region.

Unfortunately neither side of that city is inhabited since all the believers that have seen the evil rotten region across the mountain wall were fooled by evil magics by one of the souls, and they thought it became a promised lands without tide, and they built huge arcs and went that way. However, also fooled by the soul, the tide never came, and while they were floating the water disappeared and the nice look of the neighbor region went with it, and all those arcs fell into the green abyss of the jungle.

However, there were few nonbelievers that still preferred the life in the woods and were outcast, so there will be a village or two among those trees No idea which race will they be, since I never did a lore about that, but back then when I was making a lore I imagined them all as simple humans, so that's what they probably will be, mostly a combination of non fantasy races ( some combination between bretons, imperials and redguards I suppose).

Wow, and sorry for the wall of text, I tend to get carried away when talking about my lore :whistling:

It's a good thing to get carried away with lore, especially if you're the one coming up with it . BTW, when you say "arc" do you mean "ark" as in boat or as in some type of metaphysical transport? I'm assuming a boat, though the second does sound interesting...

Well this is embarrassing
I meant ark as in a boat haha.

Now that I have the bump maps implemented, I decided to have some fun with them

I guess this is the first tileable texture I ever made. I like it a lot, it just need some more "soul"
