Game of Thrones for Skyrim Project, Looking for Modeler (or Model-edit

bilwit · July 8, 2012

While it's not exactly a full scale mod as the title/logo suggests (at least not at the moment), I'm looking for a modeler or someone who can edit models using different parts of other models to make armor based on HBO's Game of Thrones. Current work that has been completed is included (as well as available for download) in donker316's Game of Thrones - Followers mod. This work has been done on previously made models that have either loosely fit what was needed or was already independently made with the intended armor in mind. However, as a dedicated texturer, this is about as far as I can go without some modeling help.

I'm looking for at least a model-hackjober who knows how edit models, tweak their corresponding UV Maps (to fit all in one map when using different parts), can properly configure them as a .nif, and preferably has Steam so we can collaborate directly. The media portion is usually the first thing people consider when looking at total conversion mods, so perhaps if we put enough of these models out there, a proper and talented team can put them to good use as a foundation. I've made the mistake of promising "exclusive" permission to hopeless mod teams in the past so the work here will be open source.

You're obviously free to make things with your own direction and at your own pace as this is a mod and not a job, but keep in mind that this project is entirely focused on armor seen in the HBO series. In fact, if you're not even looking to do work over a period of time and just want to contribute a model if you're bored or something you can just post it on here (as a .nif) and I'll work with it if there aren't huge problems and it's decent enough.

Great job!

I've nocticed that the "skirt" on the lannister armor is green, is it meant to be like that?

I'd prefer black but your mod you rules :P

Yes, I actually agree but I tried to make it as accurate as possible: http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4496/lannister.jpg

To compromise I made it a lot more saturated and darker than the real version.

Ahh yes fair enough then.

Do you plan to make all the unique armor from Game of Thrones, such as Tywin's or Brienne's?

I'd love to but I'm only a texture artist and there aren't any models that fit with those designs (King's Guard and Brienne's if that's what you were referring to, Tywin only wears the Lannister armor I did except with a neck piece and a robe thing). There are very, very, very few modelers in the Skyrim modding community it seems -- I contacted Omegared99 to see if he wanted to collaborate but he seems like a really busy guy. I actually made all three skins in just a couple days and since then I've just been waiting for something to magically pop up so I can resume work on this project. Until a modeler shows up, this project is in limbo.

Oh well that's a shame. I do like Omagared99's mod except your's looks a lot more like the actual show's armor, no offence to him or anything :P

Hopefully someone will help you out!
