IS's icon is perfect. We should include some generic ones so modders can choose to make their own or not if they use their own painting - for new modders, they may be relieved/grateful to not have to venture outside the CS. IS, you wanna?

Thanks

When you all have finished making the pictures then I'll get started on the Icons, I'll make one plain one for each of the frame types and then one for each picture

Attachment issue was answered in another thread. Only staff members can attach files here.

WillieSea, they look great!

Here's my try at generic icon:

I already offered to make icons, but are you wanting to do them instead?

No, go ahead and make them. I was just trying to make some too. This is my idea of generic icon, but more choice the better, right?

Just retexed the Elderscroll. Good thing I kept all my katana photoshop files as I can use a lot of the textures for creating upperclass bookscrolls as well and making loads of nice combinations.

What do you guys think?

[WillieSea]

I thought that was a caulking gun, or perhaps a laser pistol.

At first glance that's what I thought too, the angle fooled me. But the longer look - -- very nice for an expensive scroll! And the screenie's cool too.

Them dwemer were far ahead of their time!

I love creating nice screenies! Anyway, I'll create a few color variations of this one (BronzeGreen, BronzeBlue etc.) and than make another texture combo, maybe one with leather or wood. Should make for a nice set. I made the actual scroll blank, so modders can easily add their own text or pictures to it.

[StarX]

Okay, finished the first set and updated the main textures a bit. Here we go:

[grond]

Great work, StarX! If you want to you can send them to me PM and I'll attach them to this post.

[StarX]

Thanks Grond! Will do tomorrow as I really have to catch some sleep now.

A little ugly blanket that needs a good fold texture on the sides.

Donnato's Lute - for a teaser.

EDIT - Here's the 1st blanket or towel. I've included the .psd maze, for your bewilderment.

Blanket01.7z

[InsanitySorrow]

Some nice stuff here

[grond]

I'm going to work on that blanket's texture

It would be great if someone could make one that accurately shows the folds on the sides...I don't think I'm up to that, and if I need to, I can reshape the model to reflect those folds.

[Khettienna]

I think you'll have an easier time using the UV to make the folds than the texture itself - and nevermind how much easier it will be to re-texture later, with larger patterns and stripes etc! I can totally see that being one of the most frequently retexed items. Just meh 2 cents. The shape looks great, though!

You lost me. Do you mean manipulate the UV map somehow in Nifskope? I am so lost after sculpting something. And my UV maps are, well, interesting at best. I can however work the model more to approximate the snakey folds, but then of course that will complicate the UV map.

[StarX]

Ehm, I can't seem to a attach a file. Not even by PM, though I remember using that feature when sending a file to DarkRider for the Oubliette...

Here's a CS screenie with the red version:

[WillieSea]

@StarX - You need to go into 'your' messenger in order to attach files. You cannot do it from somebody elses 'messenger' link.

[StarX]

Got it! Thanks Willie!

Bear with me, 'cause I'm still dumb enough at this to confuse you more by trying to explain.

I'll try with an example. If I have a striped cloth texture, I need the sides that show the folds in the cloth to keep the stripes going in the right direction. It would be much harder to get that just right with a separate texture that just lays flat on the side than it would be to have the UV mapping take portions from the original texture and turn them the right way.

Does that make sense?

[grond]

Nope. But I could listen to it all day.

No, I get that. I wrote it in my post. Twist and turn the mesh UVs. I can't imagine how that could be done with the map as is, or how to make a texture that will get that folded shadowy look. If anyone's trying I can't wait to see it.

NOTICE! From here on in, use PMs to share files.

Too many attachments clutters the database.

[washington]

Aren't the PMs stored in database too? We could also use www.mediafire.com or similar site.

I have made another thing:

Doesn't magnify unfortunately...

[StarX]

Looks good, Washington!

[the-manta]

It looks awesome, don't worry about the magnification. i might have a go at a kitchen canister model, I'm very new to Blender, but I'd love to give it a try.
