Need an artist for a new house mod.

[sjunk321]

Ok here goes. My friend and I are interested in make a so called ultimate house mod for Oblivion. We want it to have something for everyone. Maybe think Ravenloft of Morrowind then combine it with some of the houses in Oblivion. i.e. Hoarfrost Castle, Frostcrag Spire, Battlehorn Castle etc... and give it all a face lift. Throw in some companions and sorters. Stir it all around and toss it on an island and that's basically the outline. A list of some of the basic features we were thinking about that we are fairly certain have been done either individually or in other house mods. Or are at least doable with some tweaking of existing code. i would like with the original authors permission to borrow much of the pre-existing or if not well can always do it from scratch.

 

Some things we would like to see:

- Alchemy Sorter (possibly with a syncing capability with bag of alchemy)

- Library Sorter

- Lots of Storage

- Big farm/garden

- Npc's (i.e. Smith, Mage Apprentice, Cook, Housekeeper, Guards, Priest, Sparing Partner, Companions, Secretary, farmer and family)

- Stable

- Observation Tower

- Prison Cells (some means of capturing prisoners)

- Inter-House Teleporter

- Pool

- Some means of teleportation to house

- Display Hall

- Distinct areas (i.e. Mage area, Fighter area, Thief hideout, etc...)

- Forge

- Secret areas (Vampire lair, display hall, altar, dungeon.)

- Dock (w/travel to anvil)

- Boat that is sailable

- Teleportation Room

- Quests

- Omod Ready

- Compatibility with major mods.

- Fairly Modular (In an effort to make it useable by people with lower end machines. most likely the distinct areas)

 

None of these are set in stone, this is just a preliminary list. All of this I would say is fairly doable with some tricky bits of scripting in some areas. Nothing to crazy I would think though. Our problem is that neither of us is any good at modeling or textureing. So we are looking for a person or couple of people who want to help out. This help can come in two possible ways.

 

1.) At the very least we would like someone to model and texture some basic things for us. For example designing a unique looking teleportation hub/buttons. Coming up with a unique ring object to teleport to and from the house. Designing the hardware for the library and alchemy sorters. Mostly small things that would give the house more flavor and uniqueness. If we fail to find someone to do this we are fairly confident that we can use items that are already in game either from vanilla oblivion or possibly COBL.

 

2.) The most we could hope for is someone that really loves the idea of this house and is willing to help retexture walls, doors, furniture, and pretty much everything needed to make the house truly unique. This has the potential to be a great house mod and I hope to make it so. That said I think it can still be done as stated above with textures and meshes that are already available. We feel however that re-textured would make this amazing if done right.

 

So if you are interested in either or both of those jobs please pm me or simply reply to this post. Also any ideas or suggestions you might have for the mod are most welcome.

 

Thanks,

Steve :biggrin:
