Hey, I was wondering if anyone would be up to making some models from LOTR for Oblivion? I've looked around and can't find these anywhere...

*Aragorn's Ring of Barahir

*Aragorn's Elven Knife DONE

*Evenstar Pendant

I'm obsessed with Lord of the Rings mods and it's a shame there's not more of them floating around

Anyway, hope somone's up for the job
I will love you forever

I'd post the knife on Alex2avs' Knives thread on this forum. He does knives.

Dang, if I weren't leaving later today I would probably make the ring or pendant for you.
Great request though, feasible, good pictures (another picture or two of the Evenstar Pendant would probably be helpful). I doubt I could do the glassy texturing on the pendant any justice, but I may take a shot at the ring if it hasn't been done by the time I get back this weekend.

I'm a little curious if the MERP (a LOTR total conversion) team is creating story-specific items like this, or just general-use lore based items. If you haven't already, do a forum search for MERP. The guys working on it are quite talented, and the content is quite high quality.

Would love it if you could do the ring, hehe, that's what I'm most interested in at the moment. I couldn't really find a good picture of the pendant, and that doesn't look easy...

I heard MERP is almost complete (finally) and I can't wait. The LOTR mods I'm gathering are just until it's released, but I'll definetly be adding to MERP too, heh. Thanks for the replies guys. I wish I could do these myself, but modelling just isn't my thing

[Shredator]

Merp does look very promising, I'm excited to see how it will turn out. Tons of work has been put into it, I almost volunteered to work on it myself at one point.

To be honest, modeling isn't my thing either. My art of choice is in animation, but neither Maya nor Motionbuilder have plugins to export to .kf The ring does look like a fun project though, I think I'll plan on working on it next week and see what I can do.

[solo077]

Sounds good mate. I think I may have somone who can do the knife too and I might just forget about the pendant. But speaking of animations, I was thinking about animated cloaks heh. You think that'd be possible?

[Shredator]

Animating a cloak would mean adding an extra joint to the skeleton, which I know has been done before. Others have added tails with animations to characters, so I assume animated cloaks are entirely possible. Really, there's a fair chance it's been done already. Not 100%, but I'm fairly sure it can be/has been done.

[solo077]

Hmm. Will need to have a look around then. Thanks again

[The Last Istari]

The knife has already been done. You can get it here. http://tesnexus.com/...ile.php?id=7633

Thanks The Last Istari, I've had a look at that mod but didn't know it included the knife (there's no image of it). So anyway, knife's done and now I just want the ring ... forget the pendant
