A Russian guy asked me a permission for modeling the Ghostgate from my concept, well I think he started pretty normal enough, but yet it is a dummy

[WIP/RELz] Ghostgate Modelling by Varizon
Edited by: grumpycat on 03/14/2014 - 18:39
I feel like I may be overusing this but...
My body is ready.
If I may ask, why did you choose to make the towers different sizes? Not that I'm complaining, mind you. On the contrary, it looks great! I'm just curious, as I would never had thought to do that. xD
we where just talking about sizes - the right is the correct one :D we can't make different sizes because it will be a discrimination XD but u are right different sizes look more interesting :D
i like similar sizes more:)
I like the idea that each section of the gate would be different to represent the tribunal, however I do feel that something symmetrical would be more esthetically pleasing than the current iteration of the model.
Keep the two on the side equal, other than that it looks good.
Update
will need such ballista

Nice - these are so much better, I can't wait to see them textured and in game!
I always loved the ghostgate and ghostwall, really looking forward to seeing them in all their glory. Nice work so far!
Great work! The towers need more details on top though, I think. They might look like spaceships without ;)
Having great memories about the ghostgate, stealing glass armour... humm, memories :)
If you can get him to look at modelling an interior as well?

Pretty sure someone's going to make those statues from the concept art to adorn the tops of them. And I'm pretty sure everyone's going to levitate up there to get a good look at them, too.
Update the structure will be higher
I hope the ballista is aiming to the back? :P You know, the front of the gate is not what you're going to defend, you'll be shooting at the mountain, not the other way around.
yeh Ballista is aiming on the corridor between cliffs, it was a perfect place to build to gate - so dunmers could defend it, we can make some quests when the gate is under siege by corpus monsters and you should help defending it
Mega awesome!
Ghostgate main model completed 85%

Dayum! Can't wait to see the animated gate in-game :D
Good point remember to make the gates separate meshes please
yes, update
wow this looks great :)
Love the light spilling out of the gate! The design is beautiful, looking forward to textures.
Just a technical thing - the mesh looked like it had way too many edge loops in flat areas, very useful if you want a lot of detail in your vertex colours but it looked quite over the top for a game engine. Also if we are not going to be able to walk up to the upper levels (on the outside of the building) they should be lower poly than the ground level detail.
Thank you all for your kind words. Only the texture. DaedricLord show models and screenshots later. (Sorry for the mistakes, i use Google Translate).
Thank you Varizon for modeling the ghostgate, the model is 100% ready to be textured

Here are the files
I noticed an issue on the back, these parts don't connect to the back of the structure.
In addition the bottom of the ghost gate needs to extend down way more so it works correctly; should be a simple fix I'd hope.
Problem in exporting to Nif. Scaling does not work. Thanks, I'll fix. (Google Translate)
fixed a bug
Vivec Statue (WIP)
Almalexia Statue (WIP)
Siberian those models don't look to bad, Though the textures may need a little work. We probably could fined some good textures for them.
Maybe just bare stone would be best for the texture? Don't worry about matching their skin tones and making the armor contrast - just bare rock for most of it with possibly a few gemstones, like what you might see in an Indiana Jones movie. Keep the gems used for Almalexia's jewelry, perhaps have sapphires for her eyes, a sapphire and ruby for Vehk's, two rubies for Sotha Sil? (Not sure if Sotha's appearance is Chimer or Dunmer)
Floating bones as we were planing for the ghost fence! second test http://youtu.be/yvQUYGz9HJM
I think they're good now :)
Daedric - will the floating bones be for the chambers below the ghost-gate? That would be amazing! I'm wondering what are your intentions for those - will we see floating bones around the pillars of the fence around the mountain as well?
Sotha Sil (WIP)
I'm loving that your statue represents Sotha as the God-Wizard is he known as, rather than the crazy tinkerer after he secluded himself in Clockwork. I feel it is much more appropriate of his image as a figurehead of the Tribunal than his skeletal, grim robotic appearance in-game.
I think we can add ocular and the crown(3 things on his forehead from the mask) and Egyptian-style beard also from the mask
Can you move Sotha Sil to a different thread? Why was the progress posted here?

Because its the statue of Sotha Sil that is going on the Ghostgate. Its going to look quite different to the Sotha Sil you meet in the Clockwork City.
Ahh right - are there any more Sotha Sil statues in the game? If so, it might do better on it's own thread anyway.
There aren't, LA. And I agree with Taj that it should depict Seht like he would have been back when he was a more public figure. That said, I agree that the mask is a must for Seht and there should be some mechanical elements as he is described in the Lessons as "The Clockwork King..."
Meet the Ghostgate, first tests ingame, no vertrex paint, no collision soon it will be ready http://imgur.com/a/PvLtz#0 gallery
somewhat intimidating^^ (first thing that came to my mind was the statue of liberty :D)
Oh wow, will be looking awesome in the volcanic area :)
Just noticed some pattern like areas on the close-ups on the texture. E. g. here http://imgur.com/a/PvLtz#4 top left corner. Is this shadow? Or some texture fail?
Still can't wait to sneak in and steal the goddamn glass armor <3
@Endsfufe thats my graphics card shadows issue
Let me present u the lady Almalexia! by Siberian Crab http://imgur.com/a/PvLtz#9
Nice! could you upload a full body picture? Also, what is she holding, it looks like a daedric crescent
