Rockon_rrh Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hey guys, I'm very new at making this kind of mod. I'm usually more comfortable working with scripts and game balancing, but here is my first attempt at texturing. I hated the ebony helmet like so many other people, so I sought out to find a better model. I also didnt want to take another model that is commonly found in skyrim, so I settled on what happened to be my favorite helmet in the game: the ancient nord helmet. Here is the texture thus far, what do you think? http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af30/stonedzen/Screenshot2686.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrypto Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 IMO, looks FAR better than the vanilla helm. Needs a few touchups but it looks wonderfull so far! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockon_rrh Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Thanks Skrypto. Any suggestions for touch-ups? This is my first texture mod and I had no idea what I was doing for the normals, any tips there? Oh, also...do people like the horn color, or is the default color better?

leot486 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I personally really like the vanilla helmet...but that looks really good, especially for your first try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrypto Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Yes, I didn't want to nit pick, but the horn color seemed like it didn't quite fit as well as it could. Perhaps test out how they would look with the same metalic gloss of the rest of the armor. Even with the natural bone look, it still looks great ;) I'd use this over the vanilla Ebony helm any day.

Guy97 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Maybe Ivory horns would go better with the ebony of the helmet. Maybe use the idea of mammoth tusks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockon_rrh Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 I like the mammoth tusk idea, I'll work on that tonight. I'm also working on cleaning up the designs on the helmet and getting the color to better match the armor. I'll post a pic tonight or tomorrow.

Rockon_rrh Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Here is the update as of now though I didnt get as muich work on it as I wouldve liked the last few days. Hopefully finishing it soon. Can anyone help me with hints on making the texture more metallic and the normal map more like the ebony armor? http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af30/stonedzen/screenie.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntsman2310 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Awesome retexture man. Maybe instead of a replacer you could release it as a crafting recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
