Borearis Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Seriously, don't Nords decorate their homes with some paintings? I miss Oblivion's picture frames and art. It's kind of sad they didn't even include a single framed picture in Skyrim. I am going to convert the Oblivion objects at some point in the distant future, but if any of you feels like getting started with this I'd very much appreciate that. :-) Make Skyrim a prettier place!

myrmaad Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I totally agree with your sentiment missing the Oblivion Pictures, Paintings, easels, and tapestries. But distributing those assets for Skyrim is illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trees415 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 That is a good idea, so why not create new art rather than porting stuff from Oblivion? Outside of creating the actual painting, it seems like it would be a relatively simple mod to create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBaron Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Painting Mods already exist, if I don't say so myself: Paintings replace wall-baskets LB-ID includes purchaseable and placeable paintings I am working on an update for LB-ID as we speak, that will include more paintings, improved normal maps, placeable (and functioning) mannequins*, workbenches, beds, chests, etc. So, keep it tracked. It may take me another week or so before I'm ready for the update. *Already in and working perfectly for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But distributing those assets for Skyrim is illegal. Well. "Illegal" is a little far-fetched. Unwanted by Bethesda, yes. But not illegal; as illegal means "against the law" which is not the case unless Bethesda somehow earned the rights to be part of any country's government. I know what you mean, though. Still, it's nowhere near illegal no matter what those gaming companies want to make everyone believe. @ LittleBaron I'll be looking into that! Thanks for your response!

I'd be the first to laugh my arse off if a gaming company sued a modder for porting stuff from a game owned by them to another of their games, and I'd also be the first to double-facepalm if stuff like this ever made it before a court. It's so ridiculous it hurts my brain to even think about it. Not like any of us makes any profit this way, which is a valid reason to insist upon copyright claims. Other than that it's just plain ridiculous, not even taking into account that most modders are either underage or poor broke slobs anyway...

TheVampireDante Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 You do it for yourself, fine - not our problem. You upload it here, you won't be around long afterwards. We do actually take copyright seriously on this site, not as some sort of joke to be laughed off like you seem to think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
