Request for a suit of Armor (Images provided)

They have projects of their own to do. They might wish to work on a project that they really like the look of. If it's easier, then it's quicker, and less of a strain on their time, less like work.

You have the LHammonds stamp of approval on this request. :tongue:

 

I also like this armor set. As previously mentioned, it looks very doable. I think the main concerns would be how the cloth "looks" because it cannot be rigged without problems in one animation or another. Example: If rig'd like the Capes and Cloaks mod, it would be like cardboard and look OK as long as the character is standing. Once running, riding or stalking occurs, it will look very strange and have major clipping issues. With that said, the only other viable option would be to rig it to the skeleton so it flows with the leg movements. This however is also a tricky proposition. If matched 100% to the leg movement, it will look odd. If matched to 50% of leg movement, it will look better when in motion but no matter how you design it, there will be an animation sequence that it will look strange for. The best thing is to pick which animation sequences you would like it to best match up for...and possibly make it so that it can be taken off (like a cape in the amulet or tail slot) for the times that it just looks wrong (like riding a horse or sitting on a chair.

 

The helmet would be a full helm so I don't think there would be any problem with it. If it were an open-face helm, there could be issues with odd-shaped heads, beast races, etc. but generally, you can do just about whatever you want if it is a full helm.

 

The claws on the fingers could be problematic due to clipping issues when clutching weapons or making a fist during hand-to-hand but as the OP said, this could be made optional. Or the claws could be reduced a bit in size and made to work with the ring slot so it could be taken off at any time.

 

The new model pieces needed to make this work are the helmet, armor pads, gauntlets, claws, belt, saber belt and cape. The rest is really up to the texture artist to make heavy use of bump mapping techniques in the normal map to make the cloth look like it has ridges, valleys and such.

 

If I find some spare time, I might donate a helmet model for this request but please don't hold your breath as I have way too many other things going on right now and I would be surprised if free time makes itself available.

PS - telleryev, you can keep that attitude checked at the door or I'll be glad to do it for you.

 

EDIT #1: I modified the 1st post title and included a preview image re-sized to fit nicely as a direct image and modified the others to use the SPOILER / IMG tag combination for direct viewing along with a brief description of each picture.

 

EDIT #2: Here are some other links to images that are probably much easier to utilize for modeling.

As for the claws, just use Slofs! Hers are a manageble size, and looks sort of like that.

[TheLastIstari]

Well, a nice thank you to LHammonds is in order, he spiffed up the request and helped immensely. :thumbsup: Thank you for the assistance.

 

As for using the claws from one of Slof's mods. I wouldn't want something like that unless you had her express, personally written permission that such a thing was ok.

[kieranfoy]

It's a modders resource.

[AlienSlof]

Quite right, it is a modders resource. It's there for folks to make use of. No extra permissions needed, though a credit is always nice. :happy:

[TheLastIstari]

Wonderful then! :thumbsup: If both LHammonds and Slawter decide to help with this request, then I am certain it will be done.

 

As it is, things seem to be looking up for Dark Lord Starkiller. :biggrin:
