Hayabusa Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Hello anybody reading this topic. There are ideas of two races, in both cases I`m not the one who got the idea nut I was asked to organize help, become familiar with the idea and can describe it. Here it is: 1) Brand new, CENTAURIAN race. Based on idea that exist in Shadowbane: a race of centaurs. The creator ( the guy has 3DMax, I don`t ) reports there are problems with animations. He`s not so familiar with the program ( he`s been owning it for a 3 weeks for now ) and asks for help. The problem id not the 'human' part of the body, but the 'horse' part. As far as he described he didn`t find a good tweak for legs movements and general movement. I have no idea what shall be done as I have no 3 D Max. So, any help, any tutorial, any ideas how to make scripts for it or some general advises will be warmly welcome. 2) Also brand new, also strange race. Something like snake - people. If you know such games as EtherLords 2 ( well... on the game site there`s a creature called Lamia and that`s more or less what we want to get ) , you should know what we`re speaking about: half human - half snake. I presume it should be easier to make than a centaur and the animations should not be that complicate, but - again, if you have some ideas, or even know good place to find raw material for a model or textures - please tell me. Actually it`s not me but the friend who does the mod but I quite like the idea - simply because it`s original, even if strange to the game. In fact the modder is not good in English and that`s why I`m writing. So, if you have any idea for help - or even want to cooperate or something - please answer. Thank you for Your attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Samurai Orc- Ken Ralliman Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 that would be cool- cetuarians and snake-people. tough though- to me at least- i'm real new at modding so... i dont know if id be any help in that if i can hardly make a race WITHOUT retexturing and all that anyway. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 I see... well the textures and models are not THAT problem. Especially if we find resources. But animations... that`s the hard point. So if anyone could help.... or cooperate... that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensis Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 The Snake-Human race is called the Naga. Check out the game Legend of the 5 Rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 checked, but... in general the race is NOT the problem. and how it should be called is something secondary. The main thing is: how to animate? Especially the centaurs, because it`s gonn a be hard. Is there a good animator out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormscape Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 There is snake people in Tamriel.... and everyone hates them. They are from Akavir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 Yes I know... Again: the problem is NOT how the races should look like or how should we call them or how should they be placed into the game. The problem is, we look for someone who is good at animations. It`s our No. 1 problem, especially - animating the centaurs. Have no material to present how these centaurs should look like but there`s a picture form Etherlords 2 and that is generally what we`d like to place in the Morrowind. Not EXACTLY the same, but the picture provides some general overview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asylum Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Centaurs are aslike the vampire snakepeople not alien to tamriel forthat there are centaurion families living in valenwood "...Centaurs, Orcs, and Imga - that share the forests with the Bosmer tribes. Humans, in general, have learned not to intrude in the forests of Valenwood..."(taken fromout the Pocket Guide to The Empire) I find the idea of creating such races very nice, yet i think it is probably easyest to create them as a non-playable race and maybe transform into them like you transform into the lycantrophic state in bloodmoon.

Hayabusa Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 hm... Asylum, thanks a lot for Your help, that idea is quite interesting :) It`s great to hear that the ideas are not so completely Morrowind-off :)yet such transformation is interesting...
