The Clutterers Guild

[washington]

I have made thread about Clutterers guild on ORE forum.

Ghastley there posted this link for mop and bucked filled with water resource.

Nice work with that kitchen canister, can't wait to see it textured.

[the-manta]

I'm glad you like it. Once I've gotten through the UV mapping, I'll get to textures!

[grond]

Good work with the thread wash!

[donnato]

Aaand I`m trying to get down to business on the donlute. Kinda not happy with a few things and am working with my archived base. Basically,everything`s made except those confounded strings.Maybe the tuningkey posts too.Since most of the parts are saved as their own .nif,I can import them to my new constructs and don`t have to remake them each time.

I`m also not totally sold on the wood textures I`ve been able to make. Ah,well,that`s where it`s at up to now. I`ve saved a bare mesh for the collision object too so that`s covered.

Grond, have you maybe tried fixing that candle?

I'd like to know how is that done (adding flame and light emitting property to mesh) so that I can do more candles n'stuff.

[WillieSea]

I would just take an existing candle, remove the visible part of it and add your candles visible parts to it. In theory, that should work.

[grond]

Wash a while back I did try what Will suggested in Nifskope, but the 1st time failed. It should work for someone who knows Nifskope.

[WillieSea]

I can give it a try if you can send me the candle mesh.

Thanks Willie, download link is posted somewhere here in this thread.

Here are candlesticks that doesn't have flame and doesn't cast light. Could anyone make it do so? I don't know how.

Hey guys, I've been thinking. I know it would be a fairly big thing, but what if "the Clutterer's Guild" was made into an actual TESA guild wherem, as well as acquiring new clutter items like the ones being made in this thread, users could submit their mods for the interiors to be cluttered with vanilla and new items, as a lot of people find cluttering to be difficult and/or boring, particularly when working on large mods or mods in which the interiors are not central but still required. As I said, I know this would be kind of a big thing, and I'm not really sure about whether or not it would work, I just thought I'd throw the idea out there. Also, sorry if this post is off-topic, wrong place etc.

Oh, and also a suggestion to add to the list would be dog baskets in lower, middle and upper class varieties (the poor pooches of Oblivion have to live on the floor or in wooden kennels!).

[grond]

It's a great idea, Manta. Maybe Red, Greenie, Khett, et al would agree. They're the ones to speak to about this idea.

The problem as I see it would be that those who clutter are probably very busy with their own modding/cluttering projects. I suspect that even those who like to clutter need to spend an enormous amount of time doing it. Also, cluttering is what gives an ordinary place a modder's personality, or signature, so to speak. I wouldn't send my home to another modder for cluttering, despite the fact that I dread doing it.

But if you're interested in it, by all means get some clutterers behind the idea, then take it to Rider.

[the-manta]

Hmm, I might just get round to asking around at some point, as I say, I'm not sure about if it would work, so I think it would be worth getting plenty of opinions. Of course I wouldn't expect people to ask for cluttering in a house or building mod, where the interior is such a key element, I was thinking of it more for mods which include a great number of generic, unimportant interiors, or quest mods and the like, where the odd wilderness home or what hae you might be required. Thanks for the feedback!

EDIT:

Maybe I should start an opinions/interest thread? If I do, which forum should it go in?

You could use this very forum - Modding General - and head off your thread title with [iDEA] perhaps??

[washington]

Here are few new meshes I made today:

Normal axe and two pieces of wood. Wood is set as clutter, while axe is in two versions - static and clutter.

I'll probably do one or two pieces of wood and then I'll leave it to texture wizards to create more variety.

About cluttering interiors, you could make a survey on Bethesda's Oblivion mods forum, but make sure you have the 'personnel' that would clutter first. I can't say you can count on me, sometimes I like cluttering and maybe I would do interior or two if I feel like to, but for now I have discovered Blender and it's my main toy for playing with. I reckon that if I'd worked on some mod, I would use the service - but that depends on mod and other things.

Edit:

BTW, I have found vanilla textures for fancy picture frames:

textures\clutter\gold01.dds and textures\clutter\metalbrass01.dds

Actually, I'm not happy with that axe and I'll give it little bit more attention. Maybe I'll even learn how to set it up for a weapon! But for now, just a bit of editing it to be nicer.

You guys make meh so proud.

You've so earned it!

Can we get the links to all the misc uploads amalgamated into the OP, grondy? Will be easier to see what's done and grab it all. And I can set to work on textures/icons as needed.

[washington]

What? Beans?

*eats*

Thanks!

*fart!*

Oops!

[washington]

Not much activity lately, huh?

I have made some tools and I have more in plan, I just need more time.

[washington]

I took some time to make this list. It was rather annoying. Also , as you can see I unsuccessfully tried to format it so that the links align vertically.

Hrmph, UV mapping is breaking my brain. I have a decent-looking canister model, which physically is fine, but the UV map is only partially done (and probably not too well) if someone else can map it, I can post a DL here- it's going to take me forever

[washington]

I could give it a try if you want to.

Edit: we got some nice suggestions on Oblivion mods forum. I think that I'll try hay stack.

I have also prepared credit list. Please check if I missed someone and add to the list. Grond, maybe you could add last two lists to the first post?

Some of this stuff has already been done by the craftybits team too We're an engine of useful clutter - Lutes, Saws, drawing knives, chisels, rasps, drills, sewing Needles, kitchenware(ladles, whisps, pans etc.), figurines, working scripted hourglasses and much more. And a functional tobacco pipe has already been available for quite some time. Or is this just for variety? I know what I would like to see in Oblivion - a Hoo-kah(censorship? wth!?) or three! Would go well with Deserts of Anequina.

Variety is always nice, just becuase someone else has made something, it does not mean you should not make it yourself, may turn out differently

[washington]

Yes, and I enjoy in creating stuff. As a matter of fact, I haven't even tried any of these models in game yet (but in CS only) simply because I haven't been in-game since January!
