Great will convert for Skywind :) I'm sure its stellar work from the Manhatten Man again, but you do have the advantage of manipulating the fabric of the universe, so expect good things from you.

Whats next on the your agenda?

Right now I'm focusing on getting Morroblivion v059 released.

I don't have any definitive plans for modeling, but I'll probably continue the ones I already started - flora, Telvannis, weapons.

BTW, I have leather texture for overhangs in 2k resolution, if you want it.

Yeah, WG trees are pretty

Yeah, WG trees are pretty horrible, but I'm not sure how to improve them.

Are there any references of how these trees are supposed to look like?

I think as long as you understand what they are trying to portray with... worms :3 and recreate it somehow it will please the purists. What you've got there is ace.

Still not quite happy with ornaments on the blade, but that should give you a general idea of how its going to look.

Somehow I doubt that I'll make textures for ebony war axe any better, so I'll just release it.

First post updated.

Wow, it's been a long time

Wow, it's been a long time since i posted in this topic - I bet some people thought it was dead :)

Well, it's not - here's a preview of remade trama roots:

Definitely looks more

Definitely looks more detailed, which is always better. But why is it more segmented?

Well, there are segments on

Well, there are segments on the original model too - or at least I figured these were segments, because they are painted on the texture, rather than modelled.

When remodelling stuff, I usually take some original design elements and make them more detailed and pronounced. Do you think this one goes too far from the original?

Well, it's your interpretation as an artist and as such I wouldn't dare to comment on wether it's too far or not. Having said that though, looking at the original model and what it looks like in Skyrim, I think it's supposed to be more of an almost smooth rootlike surface broken up into several segments and each segment takes a different direction to grow into. It reminds me a little of an insect's antenna. The original artist might also have been influenced by how some palm trees or bamboo grows. The segments are really more smooth and connected.The segments are a little longer in the original version and the whole root in yours is more round. Your texture also reminds of metal and not wood. It's different but a new look on things can be a good thing.
