ov3rwhelming Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I was looking at some pictures from another game of mine, WAR, when I got the idea that these armors would be very cool to have in oblivion. I know they take some work, but I think they would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdarknight Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I've wanted to do armors like these for a Shadowknight character, but I'm still developing my skills. I thought of starting by trying to "beef up" the Auroran armor from KOTN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exanimis Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The right person with the right skills could come along and make those armors but there would be a problem with them. The armor is just too big for the game. When designing a new race one thing you have to watch is that you don't make them too big to go through doors or down narrow corridors. That armor would cause problems unless you made it very small and made a small race to wear it. The other solution would be to thin the armor down but then it just wouldn't be the same.

True, I didn't think of that. I'm sure a creative person could come up with something though. o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ov3rwhelming Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Ya, the whole idea behind this was to make armor that was just... Juggernaut, but I didn't about clipping issues with the environment. That would suck if you looked at yourself in 3rd person a saw half your armor vanish into the walls, or prevent you from advancing into a cavern. Even if the armor isn't probable, those pictures have some pretty bad**s weapons that could be made into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdarknight Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The pics are still very inspiring for me. Here are a couple of pics of what I did with the default steel mesh.http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/images/thumbs/20034-1-1222740306.jpg http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/images/thumbs/20034-1-1222689143.jpg I could easily fuse in skull meshes, bone pieces, and spikes to one of the default meshes; it's starting from scratch that I suck at.Texturing isn't that hard if I have something to go off of, like the textures to an already built set. Perhaps a fusion of Steel and Auroran w/ skulls, bones, and spikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do decide to do it, send me a pic once you've got something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khet Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 While I'm not good enough at even altering pre-existing meshes to do something like that, I can say right now that it's fully possible to do. You would have to sacrifice a lot of the bulk, however, because of environmental clipping issues, but adding the spikes, skulls, chains, and overall evilness to pre-existing meshes (Steel might be a good base to start with) would be possible. Unless someone was -really- good at things, the armor probably wouldn't be able to be duplicated, but drawing inspiration from them, and keeping their respective styles and/or themes would be very possible. But, the last time I tried to edit a mesh as complicated as armor I ruined the entire thing haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
