lantsvants Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 For those who have it, and have seen it, I love the Ivory King armour. The way it looks, the lore behind it, the robust and sturdy yet refined design. There's just... one simple problem I have with it... It looks like the last person to wear decided to roll around at the bottom of the gutter with Elana (You're welcome for that mental image...). The faded brass look is hard to match up, and my Fashion Souls sense prevents me from using the helmet. So I need one of two things, and the first is probably the best and easiest. I have the textures, and normal maps of both the Ivory King's set, and the Loyce Knight set (Since they're the exact same model the textures do fit, I've merged them already) but I'm missing something that gives the Loyce set it's silver patina and it's characteristic shimmer. The merged textures look alright, but are a little washed out and under bright light, have a distinct light-brass look, which is not at all what I was going for. The second is a request to any able modder who wants to take upon themselves the gargantuan task of creating a repaired Ivory King set, preferably with silver plate. If any modder chooses the second option, but does not own a set of Ivory King armour, I can lend you the set I have if you have a character at 6mil SM (Laugh, please, get it out of your system now...) Thanks in advance for hearing this newbie texture jockey out. I'll see if I can get in-game and get a few screen shots to show you all what I mean.

lantsvants Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Here we go. The first is the Loyce knight gauntlets and leggings on my throne watcher combined with Notoro's sexy Syan's set recolour. Note the gleaming, one might say transcendantly holy looking silver on the armour. Nice, right? So I figured I'd just grab those textures and normals and stick 'em on the Ivory King set, given how it's the same mesh, just with a different Normal Map.http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu350/Lantsvants/screenshot_2014-10-05_12-06-18.png the result is my second image... kinda... amateurish, I'll admit (I'm not that good, FYI.) but better than before. It still looks faded, though. Washed out... There's no shimmer, no life. And it doesn't match my helmet at all... That, is what I'm trying to fix.http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu350/Lantsvants/screenshot_2014-10-05_12-07-12.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
