Sylphion Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen of the Nexus! I have a request to make, and that is Tyrael's sword from Diablo 3. While I know an existing mod has what I'm requesting for, I have to say that I'm not quite pleased by it's design (no offence inteded to alextrep, who created that mod). [Alextrep's El'druin model]:http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/images/20453-1-1342242340.png While it more or less captures the essential form of El'druin, I find it quite lacking that glorious and angelic quality to it and sort of unimpressive compared to the actual model from Diablo 3:http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m565/Chillmaestro/eldruinss_zps7fc4d0f3.png Again, I have a slight gripe with the original model, that being the handle looking a little too short for comfort, and it's corssguard being too wide. Now you may start to wonder, 'What on Nirn is this lunatic rambling on about?'. Simple, I'll show it to you: (Loads of photos ahead, taken from the 'Sword of Justice' comics) http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m565/Chillmaestro/eldruinss2_zpsaeb2e3c7.png http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m565/Chillmaestro/eldruinss3_zps09dafd61.png http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m565/Chillmaestro/eldruinss4_zpsd52340ea.png http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m565/Chillmaestro/eldruinss5_zps1a2a7e8e.png http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m565/Chillmaestro/eldruinss6_zps22405d50.png http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m565/Chillmaestro/eldruinss7_zps81ab5152.png Fancy language aside, I really wish that someone can create a new model od El'druin for Skyrim, use the images I provided as reference! To those who would work on this, I thank you________________________ Update: I've managed to create the model myself after two days straight of working with 3DS Max, now I require someone who is able to help me with texturing Edited December 29, 2012 by Sylphion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmnavatar Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 The sword is gorgeous, the 3d models dont do any justice to the comics! I'd endorse this sword, if made like the comics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylphion Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 The sword is gorgeous, the 3d models dont do any justice to the comics! I'd endorse this sword, if made like the comics! I see what you did there Anyway, after fiddling around on 3DS Max, I've created what is quite possibly a better mesh/model for the sword! http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m565/Chillmaestro/sojrender1_zps347afb08.png However, at this point, my skills are not able to allow me to create the mod, I'll hope there's someone here who is able to help with texturing the model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimbus21 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 That looks like a really good start. I hope this gets compleated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosu Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Next thing to do is to create a proper UV map, can't explain it in detail since i'm not using 3DsMax myself...there should be plenty fitting tutorials on youtube, search for UV MAPPING. Afterwards you could use sculpting/texturing software, the sideview images you posted are quite useable for projecition...i'm using Mudbox myself, there should be a demo around so you could even follow my video tutorial (link in my signature) - optionl: Sculptris is for free and similar. Importing using NifSkope and CK is shown in my tutorial as well, i used C4D to create the model but the whole thing is quite the same when you export your model as .obj greetings Edited January 13, 2013 by ghosu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
