There was a Beta Signup for CK Remastered, though several sites posted that the official release will be next week (claiming to be confirmed by Beth, just google last 24h). greetings

... or merged with this one: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/471358-if-you-can-draw-it-i-can-model-it/ These two guys should start a kickstarter campaign for the greatest mod that will never be made. Peter Molyneux might join :laugh:

I love it how people keep on requesting stuff without realizing that they'll get nothing - read the thread, at least one or two pages :D

Santa is dead...HE'S DEAD, JIM ! :psyduck:

So, how is it going?

Hello Have you ever created a mod for Skyrim before? We already had plenty of (often new) members that promised a lot, but never did or finished anything. Not saying that this is the case, but you never know :D My favourite: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/471358-if-you-can-draw-it-i-can-model-it/ Greetings!

3D Modeling (to create the rough shape of the mesh): Blender (free), 3DsMax, Cinema 4D, Maya etc. sculpting and texturing software (to model details and draw directly on the mesh): Sculptris (free), Mudbox, Substance Painter, zBrush, 3D Coat etc. image editor (to create/tune/convert texture): Gimp (free), Photoshop, PaintNet etc. Plugins: Nvidia DDS plugin for image editor (to convert texture to .dds = Skyrim's texture format) NIF plugin for Blender/3DsMax etc (to open/save .nif = Skyrim's 3D model container) NifSkope (to edit .nif files) Tools: Crazybump, xNormal, quixel suite...mainly to create normal maps, but there are plenty other features and tools out there, impossible to list them all :D There are quite a few tutorials on youtube, can't list them all right now (there is an own tut thread as well) - but tbh i personally would suggest to start with static items, like weapons - IF you never created anything before. Armors/clothing is much harder to create because you have to weight the mesh (so the 3D model sticks to the character's body). Sometimes quite a messy and time consuming job. There is my weapon tutorial in my signature, just to get an idea for the whole process. You can exchange the used tools in each category - and you don't have to use them the way i listed them above. Example: zBrush is listed as sculpting/texturing tool - but you could create the 3D model with it as well. Just a matter of workflow. Whatever, i guess as a beginner you start with free software or trial versions. I'm not using it myself, but Blender=>Sculptris=>GIMP should work well. greetings

You could use Nifskope to export the 3D model of your item as .obj and open in in Sculptris. Then you import the texture as well and paint directly on the 3D model - or just check, which area fits the texture's position. I'm using different software but the process should be quite the same - no big deal: http://pixologic.com/sculptris

Like this? http://666kb.com/i/d94ptmj04nemddwtp.jpg ... if yes, file attached. Extract to Skyrim/data, so the file placement should look like: Skyrim\data\meshes\weapons\scimitar\1stpersonscimitar.nif Skyrim\data\meshes\weapons\scimitar\scimitar.nif greetings

Hello Back then i modded Skyrim, took a break and might come back for FO4 - at least i wait for GECK's release and give it a try. I mainly created melee weapons for Skyrim, so firearms would be a welcome change. Much to learn as well i guess...so here we go. I started my first project yesterday, it's an armenian Vahan. Not so well known i guess, that's why i picked it - and i like its design :D http://666kb.com/i/d7m6gfrqxdlgwr425.jpg Will update this thread when i make progress... Thanks and greetings, Ghosu :smile:

Hello What kind of clutter would you need? Greetings, Ghosu

Well, in fact you just want to get rid of the game and only want to use its engine...is it possible? Yes. Will someone create this total conversion you just meantioned? If you can't do it youself, i guess no ;)

... zumindest auf einen Sprung ^^ (... at least for a short visit) http://666kb.com/i/d7doti9jvada5plql.png

WIP: http://666kb.com/i/d7cruieuqz6zz3wic.jpg http://666kb.com/i/d7cwl4kpkfazcffx0.jpg

Austria. But who knows, one day he might try to make the world great again :D https://youtu.be/8lGH_DvtBEM

Created 'bout 200 mods (many smaller personal ones) and many personal video tips as well, 30 mods on the Nexus itself, combined ~ 1 Million downloads, my YT tutorials and video views are ~ 500k. donations: ~ 50$

I think it's quite impossible to help out all people, since for most folks modding is just a hobby. Back then i spent 'bout 10 hours each day here on the Nexus. Takes a while to learn modding, create tutorials yourself, helping out people and make mods. I created >200 personal mods, tutorials and whatever - and my inbox was still full 24/7, not even talking 'bout answering questions in the comment section of released mods and on youtube. The request:modder ratio is something like 50:1 i guess or even worse so yeah, you can do the maths. And when it comes to comprehensive education, i think there is plenty out there . At least i've always found everything i needed when it comes to CK modding and object creation/import - with very specific demands you might run into problems since there are less hardcore modders around (like my problems with weapon animations quite a while ago). Greetings

You could modify a skeever to make Trump :D

... and his hair. Not sure, if i'd do this his supporters might beat the sh*t out of me :D

Thanks folks. I'm quite busy this week, but here is some kind of preview version...jeah, the stats are a bit low right now but just to play around. You can adjust the values in CK or wait a few days - i'll upload an overhauled version with various dmg values to the Nexus when it's done - maybe a 2h version as well or whatever. http://www.file-upload.net/download-11398585/GhosuBrokenSword.rar.html Just unpack to Skyrim\data\ , it's craftable at the forge => IRON or in console help "broken sword" 4 player.additem CODE 1 I guess you know the process better than me since i was gone for a while :D And btw, just found a very old mod that i never uploaded to the Nexus since it's just a simple modification of a vanilla sword. Broken Imperial Sword...not sure if it's craftable since it's one of my first mods, but you can add it via console for sure. Here we go: http://www.file-upload.net/download-11398602/Ghosu-BrokenImperialSword.rar.html http://666kb.com/i/d7a0bheloowfe7um2.jpg Greetings

The sword is in my weapon pack http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/28545/? ... and afaik there are several other mods as well if i remember correctly.

http://666kb.com/i/d77vwb36uc4n67qok.jpg https://youtu.be/o4sZX2UhkjQ Quite finished, just have to do the Creation Kit stuff to import it as standalone weapon. Will find some free time to do that within the next 24h i guess. Greetings

Thanks for your feedback Yeah, the old versions are just source code...already tried them. I've got the old versions on my old HDDs, t's easier if someone could send them. Well, my inbox is quite full. Might take a while to check them - received a few mails since my last visit. Thanks a lot!

Hello I'm looking for Nifskope 1.1.0-rc4 or 1.1.0-rc6, so if anyone got it and could upload/send it to me...thanks a lot :) Greetings!
