Eyeball88's Showcase
While I haven't touched my copy of 3D Studio Max since I last left Tamriel Rebuilt, I am now really looking forward to working on it again, with this beautiful new engine.
My strengths are in modelling and texturing; I have never had a nack for the animation aspects. Creatures, structures, statics are what I've found that I'm best at.
Here are a few images from previous TR work. I believe I still have the 3dsmax files backed up on DVD.

I'm not the most dependable person at times, I have a tendancy to disappear when Real Life takes over, but I always find that I miss this project, and I'd like to contribute to Hammerfell.

Hey again Eyeball, I remember you avidly I also remember your quick and deft hand at modelling & texturing. My favorite work of yours was the Skylamp, it was really cool.
Good luck getting Moddership

Hey Eyeball. Welcome back. Don't worry about leaving the project before, we've always got real life to take care of first, and that's important. The project has gone through some organisational changes, but essentially things are the same. We created the TR Modder usergroup in january, and I'd say we're a closer community now. Those who show a commitment and potential on the forums, and a willingness to learn are added to the usergroup, and given access to the rest of the boards. Its been a while since i've seen you on the forums, but now that I think of it, you're still on my MSN list from a while back.
Even though there is no official model exporter yet, programmers in the ESF community are working hard at bringing us the right plugin... the problem comes in with Havoc physics and collision data. On the brightside we can accurately export and import items which don't require collision data, such as plants and weapons.
You'll also noticed that we've worked hard at developing our concept art for the Hammerfell province. You can check out the Weekly Sketch Group results on the main page, or the forum itself for individual theads, and offical architecture concepts. If you see anything you like, I'd love to see what you can do with it, and I'm always up for collaborating with modellers. Glad to see you around again.

And don't neglect our IRC channel, either, at #tamriel. The Server is ChatSpike. There's always a couple of folks on, no matter what the time is. Come in for fun and fellowship.

Hey there, Eyeball88!
You've certainly earned the respect of others here. If you don't mind, would you show us some more pics of your models?
Like... the were-creatures I've heard talk about, and some others?

Okay, here's some high-poly stuff. The turtle shown here is a work in progress from my very first personal project. I later textured him and fixed the legs, but don't have any stills of that; it's all in a big video now.

Here's a detail shot of the ballista on his back

Here's a deer skull I modelled after I found one very similar to it while walking my dog.

And, to show that I'm a well-rounded guy... here's a gargoyle holding a coffee mug.

(I believe he fits into Tamrielic lore somehow. Ask M'aiq.)

It actually didn't turn out very well... I modelled and textured my brains out.. and then it came time to do the animation and.. well, yeah, it went from "Lord of the Rings" quality to... I dunno, "Spice World." It looks better in still images ;_;Macar wrote: wow. That looks very nice! Someone promote this guy...
PS. Let's see that video.
Obviously, Member promoted.

There might not be a simple answer to this, but how do you get those soft shadows. They make things look so realistic.
NEW MEMBERS: I'm not with TR anymore, so please stop PMing me. Just post your sample work in the showcase.

Actually, there is a really simple answer. In 3dstudiomax it's an advanced light setting called "Sky Lights" that computes the way that light would bounce, reflect and shade every single surface. The problem with sky lights is that it takes an incredible amount of time to render; At one point, in one of my more detailed scenes of my video, it was taking 50 minutes PER FRAME to render. There are 30 frames in every SECOND of animation.Macar wrote:There might not be a simple answer to this, but how do you get those soft shadows. They make things look so realistic.
I had to turn off my skylights
They're really awesome for showing off stills, though, and you can "texture bake" the skylight into something if you want to make the texture always look like that.

just wondering, will we be able to have those little dangling things on the knife have gravity? because it might look bad if it doesnt react. I guess we will have to wait and see till it can be imported into the game.

Actually, I don't believe that we've gotten down how to Havok enable meshes yet. This isn't my department though.

This one has been kind of fun, I started it after getting home from work today. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to do the plume out of the top, though. If it can't be animated at all, we might have to make it a static that drops over the shoulder, hangs directly down the back, or just make it very short..

Well I'm not quite sure how bad the clipping will be, but I saw this the other day:
http://blogfile.paran.com/BLOG_213718/200604/1146379408_L_060430_Obl_Hairs01.jpg
And I'm wondering if there are ways around the clipping issues. I asked on the ESF to see if we will be able to rig/animate armor but nobody knows yet.

Something I was inspired to play around with: Yokuda-styled clothing. Here's a start:
[img]http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/449/yokud16mb.jpg[/img]
And here's a texture I'm playing around with. Not sure on the final colour scheme, but the "ochre" theme seems to fit very well. The carving on the little center disc is one of Lutemoth's Satakal drawings, the same one found on the Dunedweller Dagger.

Comments, criticisms, and questions are the way to making things perfect, not appreciation.
You also indirectly answered my indirect question, making a massively indirect statement about it. If I udnerstand you correctly, any normal NPC will have no problem with it. If that's the case then there's obviously no problem.

I don't mind criticism at all. I actually intend to ask for colour schemes or bead patterns if anyone is interested in helping me find good, high-quality bead images that I can use.
I tried to build it with enough space in between the "nose" and the first beads, so that there is some freedom in the character's face development.
[img]http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/3752/yokudside5ti.jpg[/img]
However, if you plan on having a Barbara Striesand-esque snout, then the incompatibility of this item will be my way of punishing you for having horrid taste in facial aesthetics.
Havok swaying beads are, as far as I know, a definite no go. You have to link them to the "head bone" and they get their animation from following that bone. It's the same reason we can't have flowing capes (you'll see the "umbrella" cape effects, same as Morrowind) or weapons like whips (no bone animations for weapons.)

It looks like it has a little Native American in the design. I revere model makers, as I have tried and I repeat tried dabbling in model making. You must shape each polygon and it is a painstaking process... I could not even form one that did not look retarded Maybe if Eyeball gets the time he can tutor me lol...
A note on the turtle:
I think the bite force on giant turtles should be tremendous, the gag pole inside it's mouth would be more realistic if it were metal, because if it were wood, the turtle could snap it like a twig.

There is another mod out discussed here [url]http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=447450[/url]
(I believe was found by cleverclothe, not sure If I am giving credit to the correct person.)
Anyway, the helm with veil and the hat with beads could possibly use the hair slot for he veil / beads. I do not know the specific details of doing this; however, I believe you might get the desired havoc effects close to what you would need by applying this method.
Again, I don't know if this would work, and it was not my original idea, but you might find the information useful.
