Uld Vraech Trees

It is important that these fit in with BM trees and the Uld Vraech region, but that they have a distinct Morrowind feel to them. The Morrowind version of conifers, almost.

**Adanorcil** · Developer Emeritus 22 Jan 2006

I feel like a relatively easy thing to model. Care to grant?

**Katze** · Developer Emeritus 26 Feb 2009 Location: Behind you!

Sure thing, Mr 'Norcil.

**Katze** · Developer Emeritus 26 Feb 2009 Location: Behind you!

Wow, this one got away from us... anything in the way of an update on this, Ada? If there's no post within a week, it'll be revoked.

**Nemon** · Developer Emeritus 18 Oct 2003 Location: Bergen

This one is super important now that we've opened the ash swamp claims. Uld Vraech is supposed to be next one up...

**Adanorcil** · Developer Emeritus 22 Jan 2006

**Nemon** · Developer Emeritus 18 Oct 2003 Location: Bergen

**Adanorcil** · Developer Emeritus 22 Jan 2006

Updating with pictures.

**Nemon** · Developer Emeritus 18 Oct 2003 Location: Bergen

Any chances for pictures alongside other BM stuff? Also BM ground textures to have consistency if possile.

I'm thinking the green color could be slightly darker, maybe even the trunk.

**Haplo** · Lead Developer 30 Aug 2003 Location: Celibacy

Any update, Adan?

**Nemon** · Developer Emeritus 18 Oct 2003 Location: Bergen

Is this one progressing? I'm eager to test these trees in the CS - we don't have many map 5 claims before starting with the Uld Vraech part.

**Adanorcil** · Developer Emeritus 22 Jan 2006

Sorry guys, been busy with getting the SE claims up to speed. I have updated these a little in the meanwhile, but until I can get the Blender nifscripts to work in 2.5, I can't export them. I will get on it after this week.

**Nemon** · Developer Emeritus 18 Oct 2003 Location: Bergen

Imma put some herp in this derp, too. Any summer progress happening here?

**Nemon** · Developer Emeritus 18 Oct 2003 Location: Bergen

I guess this one is on hold until the Necrom claim is done?

**Haplo** · Lead Developer 30 Aug 2003 Location: Celibacy

Now that you have handed off the SE stuff you were working on, what's the 411 on this, Adanorcil?

**Haplo** · Lead Developer 30 Aug 2003 Location: Celibacy

Please post an update within the next week or this claim will have to be revoked.

**LiberumAvis** · Developer 28 Oct 2012 Location: Tver, Russia

I take it, right?
The main part will be ready to next week.

**Why** · Lead Developer 04 Jul 2009 Location: Utrecht

Transferring claim ownership, this has been discussed with Adan. If you could upload those WIP files here Adan that'd be great. Good luck LiAv and please ask any questions you have here in this thread!

**Adanorcil** · Developer Emeritus 22 Jan 2006

Hey, LiberumAvis. As requested (and as I should have done a long time ago), I'm dropping the WIP models (and original PSD texture files) that I once made here. Feel free to ignore these completely, but use/alter them as you see fit if you want to. The (high resolution) PSD files make the archive rather big, so you'll find them on my Dropbox (allow some time for uploading):

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/35517884/MW%20trees.zip

The idea was to use alpha textures to create that gnarled, dense look. Unfortunately, that doesn't work too well in the game because the planes with these textures on them are still shaded as such, which means you get the funny effect of dark and light sides to seemingly unrelated branches. A less flat/regular topology for the planes might remedy that, I don't know.

In any case, good luck.

**LiberumAvis** · Developer 28 Oct 2012 Location: Tver, Russia

Thank you, Adanorcil.

Also, I will probably disappear from the forum for a few days, but I'm working on.

**LiberumAvis** · Developer 28 Oct 2012 Location: Tver, Russia

I'm busy lately, but I have time to finish this week, I think.

There is one question - can I use this model as an example in my guide? I will not share this models, only the screenshots and description on their example.

**Adanorcil** · Developer Emeritus 22 Jan 2006

Not sure what guide you are referring to, but I don't see any problems with that. All of TR's models are available to the entire Morrowind modding community anyway, so go ahead.

Or are you talking about the model I provided a few posts earlier? In that case, use it in whatever way you see fit. I lay no claim to it whatsoever.

**LiberumAvis** · Developer 28 Oct 2012 Location: Tver, Russia

Well, I corrected Adanorcil's meshes and completed them.

There are meshes for http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6629/trantlerfir.jpg

not all done, I'm going to optimize the texture when it is ready all claim.

About the first art: what size are assumed to these things? These plants belong to the same species that in another art?

**Why** · Lead Developer 04 Jul 2009 Location: Utrecht

They're a different species for sure, but I'm not sure about the size. I'd say about 1.5x character size would be cool but I'll ask Nemon just to be sure. Having multiple versions for different stages of growth (varying amounts of 'layers' of scales) would be awesome too, and snowy/non-snowy variants.

**Nemon** · Developer Emeritus 18 Oct 2003 Location: Bergen

1.5x to 2x character size would be nice.

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

I like this! Don't forget to decrease the texture size.

**Adanorcil** · Developer Emeritus 22 Jan 2006

The other concepts strike me as something bush-like, so the size suggested by Why and seems about right to me.

Like what you did with the antler firs. It's definitely an improvement over mine. Others may disagree, but I was thinking that a few variations could maybe be useful: a version of the big one with different arrangement of branches, a mid version where some of the husks of the juvenile one are still present, but folded open, ...

**Myzel** · Developer Emeritus 07 Aug 2008 Location: The Concept Art Forum

Great looking models!

**Katze** · Developer Emeritus 26 Feb 2009 Location: Behind you!

Woah, those are pretty sexy :O

**Haplo** · Lead Developer 30 Aug 2003 Location: Celibacy

Those look great. Nice work, LA!

**LiberumAvis** · Developer 28 Oct 2012 Location: Tver, Russia

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Since we have no head of models, and LA is somewhat gone, I took the liberty to review these:

I'll post the finished files in the Data thread. Do we need the other conespruce aswell? Otherwise you can change the ownership of this claim to me and I will try to finish it as a little break from Dres.

**Haplo** · Lead Developer 30 Aug 2003 Location: Celibacy

Are you able to upload files in posts here? If so it's best to do that when dealing with claims. People really should never have gotten into the habit of posting models and textures in discussion threads; now that there are starting to be claims, people seem to forget they are here solely for organizing files and discussion.

**Mwgek** · Developer 11 Apr 2008

Maybe someone should set up the claims that where suggested earlier. We can't be soon enough to set up the dres interior claims, most likely for concepting fase. Also Dres salt tools, Dres Hunter armor fixing etc etc.

Can I still upload my fixed meshes that are already in Data to the data update thread? Or do we need to make claims for that too?

**Haplo** · Lead Developer 30 Aug 2003 Location: Celibacy

Transferred ownership to Mwgek since he finished the work here. I'll be double checking to make sure conespruces are already in TR_Data/finished, then I'll approve this.

EDIT: Conespruces are already in TR (normal and snow versions).

Approved!
