devinpatterson Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 make an analog of the pauldrons? an analog, as in a copy or facsimile. You can't use the actual mesh, but you can make a copy that is as percise as you wish without worrying about copyright (because your not using the actual asset). I can't do it (yet, maybe never if I don't get some time to study up), since my original models are very simple, but that doesn't mean there aren't a ton of moddelers that may help out if they like what your doing. Just an idea to keep in mind if you want to bring it to nexus. I totally understand if you don't want to deal with it and just put it up on gunetwork.

sjohnson89 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 oh hehe, i actually had a similar idea about "legalizing" the pauldrons, but i thought it wouldnt work. but there is a weird thing about distributing models and textures. here is an example: lets say a modder uploads an armor mod "this is my simple mod that makes textures 100% darker and the model 100% bigger" so a guy comes in, he reduces the model size and makes the textures have lighter color. suddenly he has the original asset in his hands! this whole copyright thing is complicated. fallout3nexus doesnt allow uploading remnants armor to the site since its an asset from nv. so whats stopping a guy to download a mod that alters the model and textures and putting those in fallout 3? this sounds messed up to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjohnson89 Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 here are some updates: -there were 2 volunteers that wanted to work on the textures but unfortunately one of them got banned. i posted similar threads on multiple forums. the other volunteer is doing a good progress with his work, for example he re-made weight painting so when aimed the pauldrons dont float anymore.-the original idea was to make it similar to the intro version but it was beyond my skills. current goal is to make a similar improved model based on the sprites from fo1/2.-current textures have dark-green parts true to the originals but if requested a lighter tone of green can be added-still looking for more volunteers, dont think like one winner be chosen and the others precious work will be disregarded! when you are done each work of yours will be added to the mod, different approaches are always good for satisfying different individiuals.-oh and, if you think there should be alterations to the model please say so, like, i already asked the same question too many times, but still, let me know cant upload more pics so here is an img showing slightly modified texture set by a volunteer: https://pasteboard.co/HvVUtyS.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
