LHammonds Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 FYI - Almost done with the UV Map on the Jaffa Staff. Another 15 minutes this morning and I would have finished the UVs on the last two parts! Should be ready to begin texture work tonight. EDIT #1: I think this will be the final version of the UV Map http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/Conan_Lon/Oblivion/WIP/Jaffa_Staff_UVMap.jpg EDIT #2: Added the reduced size as requested. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/Conan_Lon/Oblivion/WIP/JaffaStaff_SizeCompare2.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/Conan_Lon/Oblivion/WIP/JaffaStaff_SizeCompare1.jpg EDIT #3: After much trial and error, I have finally got my copy of CrazyBump working!!! Turned out that my anti-virus program automatically flagged it as suspicious and would not allow it to run. DoH! I can now make spec maps to be included in the alpha channel of the normal maps which control the shine-factor of the materials! Yippie! EDIT #4: (Oct 25, 11am) - Just finished the movie-accurate version to accompany the Serpent version that I created first. This is the needed correction that was noted in post #9 to give the base an oval shape rather than triangle. Here are some pics. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/Conan_Lon/Oblivion/WIP/JaffaStaff20.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/Conan_Lon/Oblivion/WIP/JaffaStaff21.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/Conan_Lon/Oblivion/WIP/JaffaStaff22.jpg LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHammonds Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 The Bashaak Training Staff. Question: Should this be implemented in-game as a non-enchanted staff which does nothing or as a double-handed blunt weapon that can deal out melee damage? If the latter, it might look a bit awkward being so large. ;) http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/Conan_Lon/Oblivion/WIP/Bashaak1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleglas Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Well unenchanted staffs do nothing, so I think it would be better as a melee weapon, but I'm not totally sure, because of the size of it. I'll leave the choice to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the latter, it might look a bit awkward being so large. ;) I'd implement it as the two-handed blunt. It's better than a staff that does nothing, after all, and I've seen it done before. It works rather well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleglas Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Have there been any developments? Just asking for an update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Nothing further. It is just about finished when I last posted but I got an unexpected contracting job and have been doing that. If I do well on this job, I might get more...first impressions and all that. I might even make enough to buy the much-needed PC I've been wanting for the last couple of years!!! Once completed, I will get back to this hobby and finish er up. Oh, I didn't mention that one of the few things I did get done so far was the wooden Bashaak being completed and configured as a 2-handed weapon which looks pretty good. I also optimized the mesh a bit more and reduced the poly count a bit where it was unnecessary (although still fairly high). I made up the difference using a high-poly version to bake a normal map based on the shape and then melded it with a normal map of the texture to provide for a very nice finish.
