Hey people

I've been wanting to make a swamp, but I find I'm severely lacking resources.

What I found sofar, are the shivering isles roots (scaled down), havoked roots, those tree stumps, and some misc things like the lilypad and the miscfireflies.

What I would really like, is (in order of importance);
-Frogs ( ! )
-Mangrove trees (with the roots and all, so actual meshes)
-Dragonflies (like the moths, fireflies, and butterflies)
-Snakes
-Any form of suggestions.

Now I am not really sure if any of this is already available... I looked, but could find nothing.

If anyone knows anything swamp-like, be it vanilla or not, please let me know.

Of there are no frogs yet, I would atleast like to request those. Where is a swamp without frogs, and how could they have been overlooked so far...?



Thank you,

Lucifer

If you can find me a free to use Frog model , I could create a new skeleton for it and animate it.. I would model it myself , but I lack the time.

For the frogs (if someone makes them), you should probably find some frog sounds to use as a sound effect around the swamp.

@Alonso
Thanks man, that really helps.

@LordFrostCraig
Indeed. I'll start looking for sound effects as well than.

I just looked... It turns out I can't really find a model of a frog, because they all cost money

Some models appearantly cost up to twohundred dollars...

There wouldn't happen to be someone around here with a frog model lying around, huh...?

[LordFrostcraig]

Err, I think you're looking at actual frog anatomy models. Are you sure they're 3D computer models? I looked for some too, but I came up with ones that were made unusually (at least, to me), because they were made with joints and bones, not how models I know of are made.

[GreatLucifer]

The only free one I can find is a torrent with no seeds, no luck there either.

And yeah, some anatomy models pop up as well, but there are chargig model sites too...

I was searching for frog model, frog 3d, frog nif, frog obj, those kind of terms. Can't really find one. So if you found something, be it strange or whatever, please do share.

Examples;

I will in the meantime keep searching, and start searching for sound effects as well. There are also appearantly 3 vanilla sounds for this, btw.

If, in the meantime, there are any other swampsuggestions, I'd love to hear. I'm sure some of you have made a swamp before... what makes a swamp really a swamp? What did / would you use?

Thanks sofar,

Lucifer

[LordFrostcraig]

Crocs. Can't forget the crocs.

[GreatLucifer]

Crocs, quite swampy indeed.

Wouldn't happen to know where to find any, huh ?

[MarkInMKUK]

Croc? Just stand a daedroth in the water so only the top half of its head shows

More usefully, if you check the old Morrowind mods, there was a mod which gave enhanced swamp sounds. Contact the modder and ask if you can port his resource over?

[LordFrostcraig]

Actually, you could probably just edit the Daedroth a bit to make it more croc-like, and then retexture it dark greenish.
