Since everyone else has one, might as well make my own.

Here is a desk and table I planned to make for the FCG furniture thread but after taking a second look at it, I thought it seemed more appropriate for the upper class. However, if anyone thinks it would work for at least middle class, I'll put it up there.

Desk:

Table:

A survivor! Wonderful! :]


I'd agree you can save them for the next FCG, except for the round desk which would very well fit for the middle class. :)

That looks cool; are you going to have it standing up or keep it on its side like that?

Today is a glorious day, for Obagovo has gotten his scanner to work on his brother's computer. Here is the front/back for the keg holder(s) which I used as a test (in bamboo and wicker flavor). I'll get the other sides finished/uploaded after I'm done with my class.

Nice. The front is the "full" side I guess?

The sides would be longer than the front/back but it would retain the same structure.

Thought I put up some WIPs for suggestions and that I didn't lose my drawing arm in a duel.

I have a few ideas on a MC stool, I would appreciate it if someone could suggest which idea I should expand on:

[url=http://img375.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mcstoolideaswy3.jpg][img]http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/4112/mcstoolideaswy3.th.jpg[/img][/url][url=http://g.imageshack.us/thpix.php][img]http://img375.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif[/img][/url]

A yoku jambiya:

Inspired by Myzel's awesome depiction of Onsi, I am working on a scene of the Boneshaver teaching the Dunedwellers how to shave the bones. For size comparison, what he is working on is a Dunedweller one-handed sword:

[url=http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=onsiwipka4.jpg][img]http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/8397/onsiwipka4.th.jpg[/img][/url][url=http://g.imageshack.us/thpix.php][img]http://img372.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif[/img][/url]

A gator who lives in the Alik'r, who stays hidden under the sand and waits for any unfortunate victims to ambush. To hide longer, he has an additional two eyes on the top of his head for observation and a blowhole like a whale so air is not a problem:

Hey, good work. The upper right stool looks good. With some more detail I think that would make a good middle class stool. The design of the lower one is a little unclear to me, and the legs of the left one looks a bit weak.

The other sketches look cool too. (Though, as the one who designed the onsi, I have to ask why you didn't include the swords sticking into him. I thought that made my entire concept ;) )

I'm not very sure about the gator. You probably didn't take a look at real life alligator. Their eyes are already at the top of their head. Their nostrils are positioned pretty high as well, so a blowhole, while a cool idea, isn't especially needed.

I'd say if you design a desert alligator, it's the body you have to focus on. A gators body is made for the water, and something that lives in a desert would undoubtedly have a different kind of body.

Hope this helped :)

Thanks for the input Myzel. As I said, the Onsi one is a work in progress and I didn't have the swords in him at the time. With the gator, I was trying to lessen the profile of it even more, for concealment and less exposure to the harsh desert. Once again, thank you for the feedback.

Small update. Finished the hilt on my jambiya, now working on the sheath.

Trying to convert some of my furniture into stuff more suitable for the middle class. I have come with a shape for the bar counter:

Looks good. I like the details on the head and the little thingy at the end of the tail. The pattern on the sheath looks a bit irregular. A more regular, flowing pattern would probably look better, I think. Still, very nice job.

Something I was designing for the Upper Class FCG:

http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/1048/glassdome.jpg

I was thinking about having a house with some sort of mini-Hanging Gardens at the entrance, but in the middle of working on it, I thought it seemed a little crazy. However, I'll will expand on it if someone thinks it's a good idea.

While i must admit a degree of uncertanty about the building itself, your 'glass dome' is an interesting idea. You dont mind if i borrow it for a manor im designing do you?

I actaully like the idea of a glass dome, its more of a unique architecture idea. although I think it will have to be made very carefully and probably within a sort of frame so it doesnt look to modern.

im more worried about in game implementation. to look right it should be set up to behave as an exterior, but that creates the possibility of having it rain or fog inside, which would look bizarre.

I'm not sure if my opinion really counts here, but eh, an idea is and idea after all. Mournhold is actually all an interior (as I'm sure you all know). I never see it rain of anything in there. While this is for TES4, I'm sure you could implement something similar. Now, I'm no modding genius or anything, but I'm sure if you took a look at Mournhold in the CS, it shouldn't be too hard to carry the idea over to Oblivion/Hammerfell. Just an idea :P

And also, even in exteriors, rain doesn't pass through statics. Does it?

rain passes through statics. rain is just a texture right infront of the camera, so it will look like its raining not matter where you are.

it does rain in mournhold, but thats not a problem because its designed to act as an exterior. its interiors (where rain would be inapropriate) are just regular interior cells w/o weather functions. TES4 does not have the ability to tick an interior as an exterior, it uses the much improved Worldspace function for that. so, the interior for this house will either have to be its own worldspace (creates weather problems) or a interior (allows the player to see into the void). now, one way to solve this problem is to make the glass partially opaque and put a round white light simulator (seen for example on cave exits) around it - this however will make it look like its always bright outside, which is again not realistic.

Ah, I see what you're saying. Maybe...a script? A script that changes it from light to dark when appropriate. I'm sure it would work. But this is all quite complicated for just a house...great ideas require great effort.

A multi stage 'light' script to adjust the lighting on the dome structure would work well, if it could be done relitively easily. Something that would help on the realism side would be to make the dome of frosted/coloured glass. That way the lack of detail beyond the glass wouldn't be an issue and the lighting thing would be the only issue.

Just using the reflective, but opaque glass texture like the windows of every house in vanilla OB would help it fit thematically with the rest of the game a lot better.

If someone wants transparent windows, they can mod it in themselves, surely?

Just a quick heads up. I'm heading to Seattle to visit my uncle on Monday and won't be back until Friday/Saturday. So no scanner for me (Internet is a maybe). I try to get some insignias up before then though.
