Anyone come up with an owl mod yet?

I don't know of a mod that adds them to the game overall, but there is a mesh and texture for an owl in this modders' resource: Birds Resource by Drahenne. It doesn't seem to be shown in any of the posted images of all the other birds, but the owl files are in the download.

 

If a modder cares to pick up this idea, I'd like to see them, too.

Are they open to use?, Or you need permission?.

 

They were released as modders' resources, so they're meant to be used to make mods. :yes:

 

In any case, Drahenne's permission is explicit: "Asset use permission: You are allowed to use the assets in this file without permission as long as you credit me."

 

You feeling ambitious? Going to have a go at it yourself? If so, good luck!

Ok I will credit drahennes in the mod description aswell as in the credits title when you upload it, "owl meshes by Drahenne" they will still probably be static, I will just try to make the owls far out of view so they dont have to be. Hopefully I can somehow findout how to make them there only at night but let see what happens. :)

well i would place the owl in the city fortresses up where you cant reach without tcl but everytime i saved the mod it would delete the owl under static so im just about done, If anyone wants to proceed where i left off they can though lol.

The owl in that mod has a very good mesh but the texture is only a low resolution side view.
A re-texture using a properly UV mapped one would make all the difference.
Take http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/realistic-barn-owl-folded-3d-model/596695? for example.
That's around the same polygons as the owl.

For the effort I have to ask what type of owl do you want http://aviary.owls.com/owls.html?
I would think barred owls would be appropriate for many parts of Cyrodiil.

While I'm pretty caught up with Nagasteim I'll have a go at the re-texture anyway.

I can think of several ways to do the day/night hide/show as well.

Oh ok well thanks for that, I just placed the static owls around the fortresses to be kind of like an easter egg you gotta be looking for them to find them like when you cross the bridge in bravil castle there was one looking down at you from the fortress thing.
