glowplug Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It's really a case of making the walls have the same footprint but trimmings, textures, roofs, windows, whatever look the part. EDIT: I agree with you about snow on the roofs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilawana Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 So we are doing a total remesh of all the houses (exterior and interior)? Would we have to get rid of some of the houses and/or shops in order to make it look right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowplug Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The keyword of my last post was "footprint"Go too far such as removing shops or even houses and certain quests will not only fail but possibly CTD.How many mods could it break?Why go there?Some retexturing and simply adding some trimmings would make a world of difference.Bruma has board roofs whereas whiterun shingle.A simple solution is to just draw up a texture to suite the bruma ones - the retexture can be done in NifSkope.Whiterun has solid wooden beams.Arrange a number of those in the right place and it's starting to look the part.Whiterun has dragon head roof decorations that could make all the difference.There is a problem with putting smaller objects around the buildings.They disappear much sooner than the buildings regardless of video settings.The next problem is that it is a lot of work to do every building in bruma.If I edit just one house in blender for the changes I have described every house of it's type changes and there is no problem with distance/disappearing.I'm working on this and will get back to you soon.

ilawana Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 I agree with you about how some retextures would make all the differance. However; I still want an entire revamp. I'm not planing on getting any other mods that would change bruma except this one and some graphics mods. As for item fade, it really doesn't bother me as long as the building doesn't dissapear. I don't think I'll have any problems with aything CTDing. If I just seems like to much work, I could ask for some more help from my friends through PMs. Like I said earlier I may be getting a new laptop so I might be able to do more for the mod. I'll find out about the laptop this weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowplug Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Fair enough, I'll go back to doing full re-mesh but if you want to share your mod with others just a little bit of planning solves compatibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilawana Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Weather you share it or not is up to you. I can look at all of the mods for bruma and see what wouldn't be compatible. I won't be able to look at all of the, but I can look at the ones with the most downloads. One I know of the top of my head is "Snowy road to bruma" . It has a lot of incompatibilities and I believe this mod would be one of them. I haven't really looked at the entire layout of whiterun to know exactly where everything should go, so I may not be able to tell you all the incompatibilities for sure. All I know is white run looks a lot like Edoras from lotr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowplug Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I hear what you are saying but just thought I'd check first. Having had a few goes at this, the big part is creating all the textures ready for the new meshes, making them look similar to whiterun.I made a rough up today replace brumahousemiddle01 and while the meshes looked okay the plaster and snow on the roof was a disaster. I hate to renege on what I said but with other things I need to finish I have bitten off more than I can chew for now.You said you have friends who you can pm on this so please go ahead. I like to change what I work on day to day or whatever so will message you if I come up with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bess Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I forgot to give you the farmhouse thanks for sharing the farm house would you mind if I use it if some mods? Yes, I have the same question: would you be willing to let others use this as a resource? I really like the looks of this and would love to have your permission to use it.
