PhantomHunta Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the modding scene, this being my second project. I love the Bulwark of Azzinoth from World of Warcraft, as I'm sure some of you do also. Anyways, I've created the the model for the shield in Blender, and I have no idea how to get the texture of the Bulwark from WoW or anything like that, so if someone were to retrieve the texture from somewhere, or make the texture for it, I would be extremely thankful. I would also give credit of course. Constructive criticism and advice is also welcome. I still haven't done the handle of the shield so a rear screenshot would be pretty useless at the moment. If anyone would like to see a wireframe shot of it, I'll upload one.No UV mapping has been done so far, as I'm new to modelling I have only tried it once, and it was a complete failure.

TheRealAedh Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 If you used the WoW textures it would be at about half the resolution the rest of Skyrim is. If you get WoW model viewer you could extract the textures from WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualBlack Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 That is a nice looking model. If you decide to take the textures from WoW just make sure it is a private work. Uploading it would result in a ban (copyright content). The UV map would be pretty easy to do for this. Layer each spike on top of each other (say in the top left corner for example. Than set the front plate of the shield as a rectangular and maybe four strips for the border of the shield. This wouldn't be too bad as something to start texturing with. Just look up some tutorials for making custom metal textures and edit the colour to your liking (purple if I remember the shield correct :laugh: ). Good luck with finishing it.

So if I do make the texture myself and upload it would I still get banned?I would have preferred to share it with the Nexus community, thanks for the advice on mapping. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you use exports and release it, it's copyright infringement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealAedh Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 If they are your textures I don't think you would get banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualBlack Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 If you make them yourself you will be fine :biggrin:. Ixflashpointxi explained it right. I was just saying that uploading textures belonging to blizzard would get you in a bit of trouble. Once again, nice looking model and I would definitely like to see the finished product :thumbsup: .

PhantomHunta Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Alright awesome :) I'll see if I can make something in Photoshop that's worth more than am infant's crayon painting. Thanks for the advice everyone, glad you like the model :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
