Templar and Paladin Armours

[darthsloth74]

Hi everyone.

Just thought I'd share some pictures of what I'm working on at present. I joined a mod group that wants to bring Templars, Crusaders and Paladins into Skyrim. These pictures represent WIP of the current light armours, basically the equipment for raw recruits and retainers.

As someone who likes knights and"good" fighters, I can't help but heartily approve.

Same here! Nice work.

As an avid paladin myself, I third that.

Lanceor, vometia, lonewolf_kai: Thanks to you all for the positive feedback, its good to know I'm going in the right direction with this. I'll post up some pics of new stuff as and when its ready.

Okay just had this idea today. I saw a painting of a Knights Templar in Arabian style clothing so I thought I'd try this.

Okay, the Crusades theme is awesome. This is awesome and they look great. Hammerfell Templar is sweetness! I want these!!

Porscha: Thank you, very nice of you to say so.

This is an image of the current WIP of the Paladin Plate armour.

someone commented to me a while ago that the glass armor looks rather knightly/paladinic... and i kinda have to agree.

the hammerfell templar gear looks great too, tho if i might make one suggestion; the cape on the vanilla version clips during running/walking animations. have you got a way to shorten the cape a tad, to say mid-thigh length?

edit: spelling

charlescrowe: Yes it might be worth me taking a look at glass armour, may be useful. Thanks. Regarding the Hammerfell garb: Yes I know the vanilla rigging is far from perfect, you could edit the alpha channel and remove tthe bottom half of it. That might help. Important to note that wearing certain types of gauntlets with that outfit also results in the characters wrists becoming invisible, due to it having shorter sleeves.

The Nocturnal dress is also another culprit that clips badly too.

well, the Devs made it unattainable through normal means for a reasong (the nocturnal outfit)

and am happy to give constructive input. my grandfather is a Templar, yanno
