OpenMW game project thread

Post by DestinedToDie »

So I'm making a game as a hobby, I guess? Been at it for quite some time, I started with knowing nothing.

Current progress

Nifs complete - 0
Areas done - 0
Modeling in Blender. Learning to make textures.

Those look lovely! :D

I sure hope you're not planning on wasting it on a NIF? ;)

Why is nif a waste? From what I have read, nifs are made so that they can be directly be loaded into the engine. If something like Collada is later supported, I would want to have everything I can have in nif and only the things that are hard to convert into nif (containing skeleton, animation) be in Collada format.

Added some literature. This touches on the core of the main story.

Awesome to hear that you've got plans for a game with OpenMW as a base. I wish you good luck! :)

And I'm not the only one ;) . Although the others are keeping silent or waiting until 1.0.

About? You mean you knew nothing about the OpenMW engine right? How much coding are you able to do?

No coding. I started knowing nothing about modeling/textures.

Well, I'm now starting to go more into textures. I tried to make a dragon skin, but it didn't go well, so I randomly slapped it onto one of the pyramids and it accidentally looks amazing.

Though I will most certainly make a proper texture for this model.

I'm the WORST at textures, but I wonder if that might look better as a dragon skin if it had more contrast? The gaps between the scales look somewhat smooth, more like lizard skin.
