Any need for weapons or Items

[Matherhorn]

Just wondering if there is a need for weapon's or ect, or even face models in game. here is a pic of a weapon I made this mourning, its untextured and I'm not sure what type of UV Map and skinning style the engine uses.

I would be willing to work on new items, shields, weapons, I want to get into character creation and if applicable can model character heads / faces..

If I can help the dev. team by doing so, it would be great for me to get back into 3D..

I use Truespace 3d for modeling, and gimp for textures.

heres a Sample sword from Robin Hood Prince of thieves Azeems blade.. the Cesarean Sword

We could really use a 3d modeler, any chance you can do plaeables? ? ? ?

btw where did you dl your version of truespace? the dl link doesn't work for me... http://www.caligari.com/store/trueSpace ... Cate=Store

[Matherhorn]

I can do that, like barrels, benches.. houses.. tree's.. etc

Goto download.com and type truespace in search.. it will be current 7.6 version

Also, if you can take existing armor that say only works for humans and make it usable for one or more other races, that would be sweet.
I don't know how much work that involves though.

This is probably the most urgent need.

NWN2 3D models use a *mdb extension. GMax with the NWN2 *mdb plug-in will open and edit the files. They use a combination of *tga (high-res) and *dds (less-res) skin files. Some models have 3 skin files; basic skin, changable color mask and a shinyness file. You need the NWN2 *mdb cloner program also to apply the skins to the model file.

First up on my wish list for new placeable is a Caravel-type walkable ship.

And a flowery headband.

the armor for non humans seems to be a less artistic more technical problem, was hoping to do some 3d modeling with skinning, but I will try to help anyway I can..

Is there a tutorial you have on this? I've used gmax, great tool..

I'm guessing if I can find a model of a dwarf to go into gmax, put the armor on, and resize it manually by eye, then save it.. ect.. but I'm not sure

Weapons would be great to.
I haven't had my coffee yet this morning. I'm trying to think of what we don't have a lot of models of.

Do you have a preference for a weapon you want to do (like that scimitar you did).

I think for starters it might be helpful if you can send me one weapon that is complete for me or someone else on staff to try.

Thanks

Here's a program that has to do with modelling btw, it says it works with Max 10 so I think it's relatively up to date. (import / export models)

The other program (exportron) only works with Max 08 or 07 and lower I think.
There are also a lot of tutorials and models here:

That guy is also currently working on creating ridable horses - he's almost done as far as I can tell and he might be able to help you further if you have modelling questions. We don't have anyone with that kind of knowledge on the team I think so it's hard to help.

no I really don't have a preference for what weapon models I do.. but I do enjoy working in 3D..
if gmax works I can use that, its got similar lowpolygon tools to truespace but more advanced and cleaner (Less buggy)

I could work on a model for a two handed war mace.. maybe one that looked like a giant war hammer.

[Matherhorn]

here's a image of a war hammer I can try to duplicate.. looks knightly.. Just make it for the warmace and make it more lenghy

if you had something else in mind, maybe google "image" a medieval weapon

We'd take it. If you can do it shoot me the files or just post them here.

please make some crossbow models... i'm tired of those 2 available for heavy crossbows now...

[Matherhorn]

Crossbow might be a little harder if it has a animation for it.. like the flail.
I never use a crossbow so im not sure..

but here are some images I can try to make models of

or if you have a image share it

Ive been in the editor which I haven't done in while.. seems to me that weapons have three parts, like a sword has Blade, Hilt, and Handle.. I might need to design the weapon models as .mbd files (Gmax) as separate models.

I think the best thing for me to do now, is what Luna wanted, is to go over Armor mod's and learn how to make them work for all races, if I can have any help on how to get started on that.. I feel I need to learn some of the in's and out's of the editor.

thanks
