Took a long break from this thing. Finishing it up:

An update on this thing: http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/ss207/Zenlren/TheHoundArmor.jpg

Hm..update:

Are you sure about that? :) http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Photoshop_environment_mapping http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Photoshop_cube_maps_in_Fallout_3

Thx for the hi-res pic on the helmet. Done as suggested on the studs. I get that feeling from him, too and I never even read the book. Just shows how good the HBO adaptation is. @Ghogiel, I remember reading somewhere you wonder where the tutorial articles from old site are, if you haven't found them already, here it is: http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Category:Tutorials (recently stumbled upon them).

Wouldn't be the Hound without the hound helmet. There will be a close-face and an open-face version. Unless I go beyond and make a script to open and close the helmet. Finding good references has been a pain :/

Some minor update:

Sandor Clegane from Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire) Based on the HBO series design. The Hound armor WIP: http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/ss207/Zenlren/TheHoudHBO.jpg Latest Update: http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/ss207/Zenlren/TheHoundH.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/ss207/Zenlren/TheHoundD.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/ss207/Zenlren/TheHoundC.jpg

Had the same problem. You probably weight some of the vertices (the area where mesh showing up in front of other mesh) to more than 4 bones. The limit is 4 bones per vertex. So the area shown could've been weight to thigh, pelvis, spine, spine1, and skirt or something else. Do remove zero weight as well. You can see in Nifskope if it's fix or not. After that all I have to do in Nifskope is change the "Num UV Sets" from 1 to 4097, copy/paste bslightingshader, and update tangent space that's all. If the original mesh has vertex color then change "Has Vertex Color" from "no" to "yes" Also try the latest exporter 3.7.3. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=5622

It is now release, finally. Been over a month since I started. :sweat: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=11784

Thanks. Great tutorial; was just looking for how to make use of unnamed slot for cape and have it show up.

Really beautiful work. You're really redoing the scales? Perhaps a tighter diamond-shape scale formation: http://youthcast.org/audio/2010/10/3899748654_3c1126b517_o.jpg http://images.wikia.com/godzilla/images/f/f4/KingGhidorah02.jpg---or make king ghidorah :) What are you using for texturing? Polypaint>>>to low poly? If you're still looking to import Skyrim human for scale reference there's an application called "Archive" to extract nif files; locate in your skyrim folder if you installed Creation Kit. Same folder as your skyrim/creation kit exe. Open meshes.bsa and it's under actors\character\character assets\...

Some ingame screens: The Dragonslayer is from this mod. A working hand cannon might be possible for later release.

Just a little more work on the arm then done and on to rigging.

What's up Un.

A small update: It's getting there. http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/ss207/Zenlren/ArmorFr.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/ss207/Zenlren/ArmorB.jpg

So far I have only worked on the top part. The rest are just paint bucketed, but it is going to be clothing wrap.

Update with some texture:

Time for update... Low poly + normal map+ambient occlusion http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/ss207/Zenlren/GutsArmora-1.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/ss207/Zenlren/GutsArmorb-1.jpg can't resist sharing this, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrOliVhbBo8

Hey I recognize this model. Can't remember where; Polycount, Zbrushcentral? It's very beautiful work. :) There's this tutorial: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/3ds_Max:_Custom_Creatures I have not come across an up-to-date one. Good luck.

I think that's just the angle 'cause it's mirror from one side to the other(so it should be in the same position you see on the left side of cuirass). :)

It is separate not sure what you mean? It's a hook piece that locks the cuirass in. Could you elaborate. Thought I got it right. Also found this trailer with english sub:

More update: Cape will be separate equipment. Spend some more time on each pieces. Fatten the fingers and the handcannon can be animated properly. There won't be a female version. (wouldn't look good on female character I don't think) Will finally move on to doing low-poly version.

Update: Mostly done 'cept for the cape. ...and the upcoming Berserk animated feature trailer:

That's a great idea. Maybe incorporate special animation for it as well(if I know how). Forgot to say you found the reference so quick, must been really well verse. I don't even know which volume which pages show that kind of details.
