Couldn't motivate myself to dive into NifSkope so far... Anyway, I did something else that of you might find interesting:

I've been working on the mind flayer model a bit. As I see it, nobody has figured out the import issues, so far. This is really bad, but hopefully Bethesda will say something about in the next podcast episode as the question has come up several times in the thread over in the official forums where they were collecting topics.

 

Anyway, here's what the hires mesh of the mind flayer looks like ATM:

If things really don't work out, I'll have to create my own RPG ;)

While I have no fresh rendershots for you at this time, I do have a (minor) update. The base mesh of the Mind Flayer is finished as well. Unfortunately I destroyed the hires mesh through inattentiveness, so I will have to redo that. The good news is that this did not take an awful lot of time to create in the first place. I also see it as an opportunity to improve on my original work. I also think about giving Sculptris by Pixologic a try.

May I make a suggestion?

To make the beholder look reatistic, you can never underestimate textures. I'll leave ti up to you to imagine what exactly their skin is like, but a lot of CG is infinitely improved just by taking a photo of a similar real material and use that as a texture map. Bethsada themselves do that. Aparantly a lot of the stone structures in Oblivion used photos of real monuments in Washington. Though personally sometimes I just find textures on Google. I suppose you could... Combine lizard skin and octopus skin?
