In game, I think they would suffer a bit because MW just doesnt do reflections as well as I would like. Seems you have made your own fire particle effects. I have no earthly idea how to make those myself so please dont take this the wrong way, but Id love to see more realistic flames on them. The fire in Oblivion looks like the real thing. Maybe you could look at how they did it.

As for your trouble with clutter...since so far everything is not actually in morrowind, are you not doubling the amount of work you have to do? Why decorate the renders with clutter and then repeat the process when you finally put the models in game? I would just make the building models, then the clutter, add the stuff to the game and THEN decorate.

*cowers* Im just offering my opinion! No offense intended, HONEST!!!!

None taken Oderus. :-D

This is also a concept to go along with so that when I get it in-game, I can use this to follow suit and anyone else that wants to help out with the interiors of this mod can follow my vision. If I had one of my toys (Yafaray) availiable to me it would make the texturing of the metals look even better than what you see here. It will also make the flames of my fire look 10 times better too. :lol:

Oh and with the fire, I used a halo texture in blender so that could be the reason why it looks that way. Although it really does tone down the over production of polys so that I can render things better without Blender freezing up on me whenever I go over the MAC's processor limit. (ugh! I HATE mac's) The reflections on my metals don't have the mapping yet. I am going to tame that game engine to take reflection the proper way tho. Or it maybe just hard coded in or something.

This is going to be an absolute pleasure to walk around in, looking at all the beautiful pieces.

I haven't forgotten about my promise, either. I'm still trying to work up an Egyptian height map for TesAnnwyn. If you run across an elevation map of Egypt, let me know. So far, they appear to be as rare as hen's teeth.

I think I have one on my flash drive some where....I have to do some transfering of files because I GOT MY NEW 1 TB EXTERNAL DRIVE TODAY!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :hoorah:

I am so stoked about it! So I can just use my flash drive as a software backup for any type of software that runs directly from it. I'm talking portable apps baby! :punkrock:

Second year of university finished on friday, which means more time to work on music, including this project. I've started on a song which my Yash will be singing, as you wanted, Silver Fox. And it's going to be really good.

Woot! Can't wait to here it! :hoorah:

Still working on the mod. I am in the process of completing the Offering Room's offerings and etc. I know since my stuff isn't in-game like how everybody wants it to be, at least I hope my work is not being looked at as not good enough... :saddy:

I have put out years worth of models and I will not stop just because of any unecessary remarks about my skills as a modeler or a modder. I feel as if some ppl feel as there is some type of competion or something when it comes to modding. I don't see it that way. So if you have any type of comments where you are comparing my work to someone else's, it might be best to keep those type of thoughts to yourself.

This mod is still going on. I have alot on my plate right now and need to take a break from it and recover a bit on what other mods that I have started.

It's looking good Silver Fox.

We're busy as hell right now producing our first album, but at some point soon I'm going to send you a first draft of the soundtrack so you can have a listen to everything in perspective without having to try and dig through the thread and messages.

Sweet! I cannot wait to hear it! I have been sooooooooooooooooo busy with the season on full blast at Sea World that I barely get anytime to model. I had to take a generous break from this mod as I have sort of an block and cannot get my ideas to come to life. Been kinda feeling low for the past 2 months because of some work0-related issues that now seem like they are coming to a close. (finally! :hoorah:

) Also I got my new laptop so that I can take everything to next step outside of the CS. I just need to get a copy of the GOTY Edition of MW and I should be set to go. I also would like to ask you if you would like to do some cool sound fxs for the mod too. If it's too much trouble, then I can try and do them for myself. No worries. :-D
