MOLE CRAB NEST CONCEPT [Claimed by Shushine]

What specific models need to be done for this?

Hmmm, I guess i could claim these...I wish I had a better view but i'll make do. I did a quick proof of concept nothing really final was just feeling out a couple shapes

I did them in a about thirty minutes so they aren't too great but they're only there to get my mind flowing....

It's not mudcrabs, but molecrabs ;) Thing is, keep in mind I wanted them to use spider centurion skeleton, so that they can pop out of the nests like dwemer spiders pop out of holes in the walls in Skyrim. So best make at least one of the holes on the same height as those "traps" In Skyrim ;)

@Shushine: I see that on concept nests are more conical and flat, and i think it s better.
Later this construction can be supplemented (in center, by CK) by some stems of rice/reed/marshmerrow,
but that can be good idea to model.

Cutted nest from Drago's concept:


 

I put mushrooms on them too, would look cool overgrown with them, but that's to be added in CK.

Maybe i ll do this mushrooms (Clathrus-like), but i got some weird bugs with it, so it will be when it will be fixed.

Not sure if mushroom on this nest is good idea. Plants natural growing on such mounds of ants, but mushrooms? They need some more organic than the sand. Or if it would be mushrooms - they should be more vertical, maybe?

Okay I changed the shape but still messing around with it.

I'll continue working on these and hopefully start the mole crab tower tomorrow 

I made fast Clautrus-like mushroom model (with weirdest UV) from this concept.
Later i will add some 'egg' remains and dried version.

I wonder if that's possible to make some "tumbleweed" from this in Skyrim.
I think it's too much close to IRL and we need unique features.

This looks like dreugh building element we have planned - Radiolaria style

= requesting concept

Bigger model can be too much polygonal for mass use (3094 pg).
