New Modder?

[Actioncookie]

Hello

 

 

first i apologize for any grammar errors....

 

 

Being in 2 3-D animation classes help, but having played Oblivion and morrowind for over 4 year and seeing all the fantastic mods have inspired me to study how to mod.

I am mainly interested in modding armors, clothes,architecture, skins and hair as it seems easier to grasp(from reading several online tutorial, blender guides and hands on approach in Blender. Kind of also helps that im a 2-D artist : D. I am not new to CS, Photoshop, Gimp or nifskope, but i can always learn new things...

 

Anyways my point of this thread is to introduce myself into modding world and ask for any tips if i haven't heard of them yet. Since i dedicated 79 gigs of Oblivion/Grand Theft Auto mod space to my computer, i am very grateful for the modders out there who make such wonderful mods and any who can teach me a thing or two as i only been hands on modding for almost 2 months.Suprisingly, its not as hard as my professor made it out to be, but i don't want to start on any big projects since i have no time now and its just stupid to do at my level. Right now, im getting into the intermediate area of modeling/rigging/texturing in blender. I am not moving onto what i'd really like to do until i am confident enough to do so( i am also slow learner ha) and i do not want to lose interest anytime soon.

 

 

 

There may or may not be mods for this already, but these are the mod i will hope to release in the future. I already have all the necessary resources and would only have to import them to blender to get started. Of course i will have time to do this after exams and hopefully near the end of November although i just have to make new maps for nero's clothes and work on lower armor

 

Future projects from Highest priority to lowest:

 

Dante DMC4 Armor which includes playable hair

Nero DMC4 armor also with playable hair( saw the infamous picture on Nexus mod moonshadow elves )

Classic Solid Snake and Big Boss armor

Atsuma, Raigar, Mystery Man and Toya Armors from eNCHANT aRM( geez talk about high poly count...does anyone know of this game?- got it 53 bucks for used special addition- lol id always wanted to make armor for this)

3 outfits of Leon S. Kennedy w/ re-textured hair

Human Race inspired by FF VII

Ashly Gramm and Jack Krauser companion from RE4

Legend Of Dragoon Armors for Lavitz, Dart, Rose and Shana

Silent Heaven Bar from Silent Hill 2

Travis clothes from No More Heroes with saber weapon*

Robbie the Rabbit enchanted armor from Silent Hill 3

Voldo, Raphael, Kilik and Asholette armors, hairs and weapons* from Soul Caliber 4( cant wait for SC5)

Pyramid Head from Silent Hill Homecoming( *i might not work on this since there seems to be a PH around Nexus )

Loz, Yazoo and Kadaj CM partners

Gloria and Trish CM partners

Midgar from FFVII ( I was thinking of asking creator from Duke city mod to help on this in the future if he is available)

 

*weapons is my greatest challenge so if i ever get to make these, it would either take a looooong time or i might not just do it :\

if anyone want to help on this and some other thing id greatly appreciate it.

 

Mods already completed:

re-textured teddy bears and random objects from blender site

2 test armor mashups from oblivion and custom

Playable Cloud Strife hair redone to match Advent Children version/less cartoony( annoying to fix..)

Leon Kennedys Jacket and holster from RE4

 

P.S.

I hate rigging >: \ and any tips on re-scaling imported objects and mesh without breaking Blender and getting errors will help greatly.
