wacom... always wacom, are imo the best....from the cheapest line to 1000 euros beast ...i have an intuos4M. bamboo series should be the entry level.. there are different size, clear bigger is better..i bought one for a friend m or l size... i do not remember for about 75 euros some weeks ago...solid, does its work, does not mess the kitchen...does not talk... much :smile: clear if you look for satellite precision and silky tantra massage sensibility prepare a bag of money...a big one, but as said an entry level will do what you need.

mate... buy a graphic tablet... even a cheap one/2nd hand or so , no need of big tecnologies, just to use a pen and not the mouse. keep in mind that photoshop wrks with layers... it's really important to keep anything in its own layer or group, so you can fix what you do not like simply removing and replacing a layer or a group... no need to redo the whole thing for a detail. also layers will help you to mix colors and effects... colors are never monolithic... there is always a range and light+shadows. to help model maker try always to make a frontal picture... no prospective, no distorsion, no "poetic license" :smile: it's great to see someone working on concept art....something often underrated...instead totally important, a good concept simplify your life in any step of game creation good luck Matthia

nothing is simplier than a common specularity line for equipment .. there are game tiers... steel ,iron, elven and so on each one should have a precise specularity base... clearly detailing and fine tune would change something in final result but is important to keep a common base. + materials commonly found in any armor set ...like leather or cloth ...this is quite simple as well, we decide the "range" of leather and any leather will have a specular into that range...as you can imagine color at this point tends to be less important and the color variations in the theme "leather" will always keep consistency having a similar specularity sometime nifsettings mess with specularity... this is the part of fine tune of nifs /or specular values it could be a little complicated.... in my opinion ALL armor set should try to have the same specularity values on nifs...at least brightness... and we can leave textures do the rest but as said many times this would open the pandora's box of compatibility with body replacers

about lighting... i guess we should involve lighting mods in the process and we should aim for consistency...in other words we should decide a common line for specularity of objects and color palette so to have the best result with the chosen lighting mod/mods

yes ...around 4800 textures actually well visible ingame,still we should not fear the number ,many... and i mean many textures are directly related one other... long story made short: enviromental , base dirt---> add leaves= riften dirt. base dirt--->add stones and moss= other area... and so on dirt +large stones=roads snow01+stones = snowroad walls: base mortar+ squared medium stones= whiterun base mortar+many little ordinate stones=other city. armour: create materials and apply same materials on weapons of the same set . in other words bethesda does not create ANY texture ad hoc but moves through steps... this helps to keep consistency,smoothness in transition and in the same time saves LOTS of time

deserved so ...welcome i did not say yet ...skaal set is really nice, well done

yep indeed very curious to see what can pop out from the idea. ...usually creation of game assets starts with concept. just throwing a proposal... since many skyrim concept arts are around from game release, but actually they never arrived into game ,or what arrived in game was very different ... (and worst) as a basic general line... what about trying to bring (where possible) some concept art atmosphere back into game? using concept as reference and not the actual game asset?

i'll stop right now tony ... sorry for the mess... but i did not deserve insults by a good to nothing child wellcome on board Hein... i was hoping for you to cooperate

Hating on me, after I'm already out of the project, you really are a troubled one """I knew you weren't right in the head What did the doctors say hu? What kind of autism you got? Or is it even worse? You need 30 animals to live with you, because humans won't""""" Moto... this is not fair... are personal things that this "person" got no right to write down here particularry when he was not even in my mind when i wrote my previous post...i was talking in general and above all none of these things are anyway related to discussion. you would accept such insults for free? zerwas... i have a fantastic wife 10 year younger than me , a super job (tecnically i could even not work) but prefer to bring home 40k euros/year and keep me busy ,1 bmw and a big land roverr in my garage last time i volountary saw a doctor was 2001...a boxing championship...won and while you make youporn rich i save dogs from illegal fighting, train dogs for rescue and guard...and lend my horses for pet terapy that's way i have 30 animals... idiot i'm happy... a lot :smile: can you say the same?... probably not... otherwise you would not be so frustrated puppy

zerwas... 1st who are you? 2nd why i should hate you? 3rd... you're out of the project?.... ciao! about the rest of your so called post.... you do not deserve an answer :D have a nice day oh right you're the one... my (crappy) work is better than yours...i'm better than any of you...can even teach you how to write a message... fine luckly you're out then... in quality check my turtle is better

....let's keep the quality control restricted and as last of our thought. i have a "family" of 6 pittbulls,9 bull terriers,4 dogos argentinos , 1 perro canarios,4 bandogs (mastiff / pittbull) + 3 horses 2 cats and a turtle ... any of them could claim to be in for quality control...but...they cannot do well the crucial task.... oh well maybe better than some people... but not well enough.
