Will someone teach me how to model armor for Skyrim?

[Falloutman117]

If there is anyone who can teach me, I would appricate someone that can use Teamviewer 7 to give me a simple walk-through on how it works, if all of you that do not know what Teamviewer is, it's a program that lets others gain access to your screen but makes it so all of your personal info cannot be accessed by the person connecting to you, EXTREMELY safe, if anyone knows how to model and wishes to help me, it would be so greatly appricated.

armour is an advanced process which can be difficult if you have no prior experience with modeling, i would recommend starting with something easier, say a weapon, to get comfortable with modeling and then work up from there

those are just a few videos that could get you started, those are for skyrim oriented mods

That's nice, but if anyone would be willing to take me step by step through how to make one, it would be greatly appricated, that video was way too complicated for me.

Start more basic. If you need a step by step tutorial on how to make an armor set, you shouldn't even try.

Learn 3d, then learn to make stuff.

 

Google. Sites as Game-artist, 3dMotive, 3dTotal, digital tutors and Eat3 are good places, albeit all but total3d costs. Not too much though.

Otherwise youtube is packed with tutorials. If that fails, google.

I've recomend using this:

 

I find a good way to start things is to mess around modifing things that already exist. (modding is a good precursor to creation)

Try mixing and matching armour peices, altering shapes etc. to get familiar with how 3d programs work, and what processes you need to undertake to get stuff working in game.

 

You'll find it a heck of a lot more easier and fun than trying to make a set of armor from scratch with no experiance.

The tutorial series I linked to is very good, the guy explains each step and walks you through things. I've been using it myself to learn how to alter armors.

That's Nightasay's tutorial. I was going to suggest that also. If you don't follow the videos on the nexus page and instead watch his youtube channel, he actually goes into making armor from scratch, texturing it, etc.

 

The Nexus page only has a few of his videos. But he has way more on youtube and they're all numbered in order.

 

He takes you from downloading the software all the way through getting it into the game, step by step. If you can't follow his tutorial, then you might as well give it up.
