Troll Retexture

[exanimis]

Many of the books that I read growing up, Pellucidar, Tarzan and Conan, were adorned with the art work of Frank Frazzeta. I couldn't help but to become a fan of his art. I am currently working on bringing the world of Pellucidar to the Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion but I wouldn't feel right without at least attempting a tribute to Mr. Frazzeta. That brings me to the reason for this challenge, The People in the following paintings are neither Ape or Human but rather a combination of both. They are cavemen who have stepped out of the caves and discovered steel and iron weapons. I challenge all moders who know how to retexture a creature to make them using a Troll or Ogre as a base.

They wouldn't need to talk but I would need to be able to set their AI's to do certain things, to wear armor, use weapons etc. I also need them to only replace the Trolls/Ogre's in my modded world. Thanks for reading.

EDIT: Also i have no idea how to get them to wield weapons, i think you'd have to make new animations and skeleton which id imagine would take along time.

Nice job with the ogre. I really want them to be made from trolls because the trolls run on all fours. I could use the ogre though but could you add hair to his head and make him a darker brown? If you want to add him to the mod either post here or PM me.

 

I could add that nif to a troll, that would be interesting. The only thing I'd have to figure out is how to get a troll to use a sword :biggrin:

Ill try with trolls but i doubt it will look any good. as for hair, im not sure if i can but ill give it a go.

@simonp92

I was going to use that black troll in one of my caves but the mod changes every troll in the game. The download doesn't have textures or meshes that I could use.

 

@Dragonblade86

I thought that you had added the hair to his arms? That's why I asked if you could add it to his head. I've never noticed the hair before.

 

I have mods that use the sheep skeleton as the base for a Triceratops and a Mastodon, Spider Daedra's for spiders and I have used Creature skins for statues so I don't see why we couldn't put that ogre skin on a troll.

[Dragonblade86]

the hair arm comes with the game, it just doesn't show up well with stock textures.

 

do you mean the meshes for the triceratops and mastodon are in the sheep folder? i tried doing the but in the xviali folder so the ogre's could wield weapons, the animation previews in cs looked fine apart from there were these crazy lines sticking out of the ogre and stretching all over the place. i didn't check to see if it showed up in game though.

 

do the triceratops and mastodons look that way in the cs?

 

 

Someone made a mod that let trolls wield weapons here http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14365

 

that might be of help to you aswell.

The Triceratops and Mastodon look the same in the CsS as in the game. After you skin the sheep you have to re size them. I'd really rather use the ogre skin on a troll, I want that running on all fours thing. I knew about the mod you posted but hadn't been able to find it, thanks for the link.
