SirMagus Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Ok, so this really doesn't have anything to do with Oblivion, but still, my intentions are to start making mods for Oblivion. So I'm starting off with some easy stuff. So what do you guys think of my uber snowman? =D lol http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/1443/snowmanyy9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to keep in mind, that, while modeling for games, you have to find a balance between performance and appearance. Some modders create very complex meshes looking great and all, but forgetting that many players run dozens of mods or play on slower machines. This results in even more performance issues. So, if you want your models to be enjoyed by the widest audience, you have to keep vertices at a moderate level, especially for quite basic shapes.

JustAnotherFool Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Looks like a snowman, not a bad start. Keep it up. Seriously =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirMagus Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yeah, I'm learning very basic stuff like this. Looking for Tutorials for making meshes, anyone know of any good video tutorials? I've looked on YouTube, they only have low quality videos, I want good quality so I can see what it says on what the person clicks on and does. I think we all have experienced that, looking at a tutorial and not being able to see what button he's pressing, lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, when you've mastered the UI, it's much easier to follow the blurred video-tutorials on youtube. For most stuff you need to know it's hard to find specific tutorials. And in the end, things like rigging and weighting are learned and understood by trial and error. Creating meshes is the easiest part in doing models for the game. The problems start with converting it to a playable object ingame, which assume most time for loading into the game and testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killslasher Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Now that's great! It would be cooler if there was even animation you could download, so that snowman could be an NPC! Though anyways, nice model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihateregisteringeverywhere Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Yeah, I sort-of agree with the person above. However as further training do consider doing the snowman in a frosty-the-homicidal-snowman style ;D. (gaping maw, huge bloody claws, flaming red charcoal eyes, pentagram on the cylinder - that kinda stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihateregisteringeverywhere Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hm, yellow snow, charming... Yes, that would work ;D. That's what happens when you take a wrong turn at holiday crossing and take the pumpkin door. Next up: gibbet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
