REDORAN BUILDING INTERIORS [Claimed by BoltBunny]

Submitted by grumpycat on

All the models in this thread need to be redone for legal and esthetic purposes before we will do a release . If you feel like you can contribute by doing some or all of these models then please leave a comment at the bottom of this thread.

Let us know what 3d modeling program and also what year it is you use, as we need to find out if we need to convert the files for you or get you setup with appropriate importers.

We are also looking for people who can compare a similar tileset done by our partner project Siligrad Tower to match up models, so that its less work. We need long time lurkers who want to do grunt work basically.

Razy has signed up to do some, but we need several members working on this for it to be completed.

Hi I'm quite new to the Forums :) I can claim these unless their is some sort of process I have to go through before I can ask to claim something? I have Max 2014. Can I get an idea of scale or sizes in max units? Cheers :)

wow these are a real challenge.
contact plasmax/mooncactus as they did a lot of exteriors, and u can combine efforts.

Is partial claiming a wise idea in terms of consistency?

Karma: 0 (0 votes)

for such a big job i think its expected, borrowing meshes from one to the other, using plas/moon textures etc

Yeah, that's true.

Hi All, 

I'm up for giving a hand on these models. Looking at it we can break them down into chunks'.

barracks    "\Data\meshes\morrowind\architecture\redoran\interior\redr_barracks01.nif"

building    "\Data\meshes\morrowind\architecture\redoran\interior\redr_building01.nif"

guildmage  "\Data\meshes\morrowind\architecture\redoran\interior\redr_guildmage01.nif"

tavern      "\Data\meshes\morrowind\architecture\redoran\interior\redr_tavern01.nif"

tower      "\Data\meshes\morrowind\architecture\redoran\interior\redr_tower01.nif"

These models use the shared textured sheet but are self contained so they "could" be redone as individual pieces. (i think the models in the images are using a different texture pack to the original Morrowind.)

In the list there are two different part sets. One is a Large interior and the other a small interior.

These parts will be the hardest to do as any major changes could effect how they connect. The Hallways can be separated from the bunch as they only connect to each other and to an entrance. list below:

large Interior   "\Data\meshes\morrowind\architecture\redoran\interior\redr_largeintarches01.nif" "\Data\meshes\morrowind\architecture\redoran\interior\redr_largeintbalcony01.nif" "\Data\meshes\morrowind\architecture\redoran\interior\redr_largeintbridge01.nif" "\Data\meshes\morrowind\architecture\redoran\interior\redr_largeintbridge02.nif" "\Data\meshes\morrowind\architecture\redoran\interior\redr_largeintcenter01.nif" "\Data\meshes\morrowind\architecture\redoran\interior\redr_largeintcenter02.nif"

The Spam filters going off the charts so i may have to post the list a different way.

I've exported the Large hallway models into a single file, created a node for each piece, merged the parts and applied a script to quad the mesh.

Now have to decide what's the best course of action is.  I might do this for all the parts and then decide which one i might do.

impressive, I had to build from scratch. I generally found that the connecting edge sillouette could be brand new and identical for each piece, as long as the intermediate parts detracted from the tiling effect.

I've imported the skyrim Redoran Hallways for comparison:

Polycount - Skyrim has 4 times the triangles count that Morrowind uses for each piece (skyrim 1000-2000, morrowind 200-400)

Textures - same method but only using 4 diffuse and 4 normal textures for all interior pieces.

Construction - Learnt a lot about how they shape, unwrap and link each model. Skyrims unwrap is miles easier then Morrowinds.

Style - Different locations show the different materials used. Morrowinds landscape/raw materials compared to Ravenrocks. Morrowinds Redoran Interiors have designs on the walls (patterns/tiles etc) whereas Ravenrock is very simple (Homeland vs outpost).

Heres the Huts

luckily the game uses the same units, which is why they import the same size and probably why this mod is possible, if you had any problems importing Skyrims model textures you may need to check your .mtl file'.

Ideas post

I've redone some textures and changed the original model slightly.

I've created some high poly models/pattens to recreate the designs on the walls. 

The coloring so far is off, all the redone textures are using masks with color overlays so can be fine tuned later. The top Textures shape needs to be reworked. The bottom texture is fine but i need to change the coloring. Still allot of work to be done. Central pillar needs to be reworked maybe more angular.

heres the assets in game.

no collision model and no real vertex coloring. need to do a proper texture for the floor.

Need to fix uvw's in spots and tweak.

^Too much time on my hands.

Heres the early stages of the hut. The textures are a bit too earthy compared to the originals but ill probably go somewhere in between. the skirting need to be unwrapped better and have its own texture.

Good god man, this thread is a blur of progression!

My only concern is that some of the rooms are going to need to be worked on a bit to make sure that objects are not clipping with extended door frames. However I doubt there will be too much furniture near the door frames.

Also Rarzy is working on the "small" corridors. Have you done anything to do with any of the "small" assets?
