Aelthwyn Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) I've always been disappointed by the way the glass bow doesn't really seem to match the design theme of the rest of the glass weapons. I can't be the only one who thinks the glass bow could have looked a lot prettier, and more importantly Matching with the rest of the set. You can barely see any of the 'glass' parts on it; those narrow little inlays on the arms don't really even look very green. The shape itself always reminds me of antlers, and while that's cool, it just doesn't really fit with the flowing, ethereal style of the rest of the glass weapons. I would have done something about this myself long time ago if i had any ability to create custom meshes and textures (I've only done simple retextures for myself), but although I'm interested in learning how to use programs that will do that, I have a feeling it will be quite a while before I'm actually able to do this with any level of quality (if ever). In the mean time I've combed the nexus for glass weapon redesigns but although I've seen a few mods that add new glass weapons, and recolored glass weapons, and translucent and thinner glass weapons, I've found nothing that is close to what I have had in mind for the Bow specifically, (ever since the first day I saw it). Thus I thought it would be worth asking here if anyone out there who is good with creating new/modified meshes would be interested in doing something like this - OR if what I'm thinking of actually exists out there, please give me a link! I've included a Concept Picture made by editing the weapon icon images from UESP.net http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/329/e/3/wingedglassbowexample2_by_aelthwyn-d87ph1d.jpg Edited November 26, 2014 by Aelthwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokerine Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Oh, that looks gorgeous :) I really hope someone does this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faffman Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Can dig that. The wider version is a little too much, but middle one is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himeki Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 That's a really nicely done concept image. Shows exactly what you're talking about, I agree with faffman the middle one looks wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derok Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Nice idea but just wondering... Is glass (or whatever material really is) flexible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faffman Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Malachite, as the material is called, is in TES lore a volcanic crystal/stone/mineral or whatever, same as ebony. So no, it's not flexible. But then again, no metal is flexible enough to make a good bow of, which is why wood is the material used in real life bows. One could probably break down Skyrim's realism flaws for many hours, this is just one of a s'''-ton. TES is a fantasy series, let's just leave it at that.
