[Item] SacredStoneHead's nord armour pack (WIP)

[SacredStoneHead]

Hi folks.

This pack has undergone reformulation, it first started as a single armour pack, now I plan to expand it making at least one armour for each tier of the Nord faction.

The old version of the armour is still available for download here, though its advancement will be discontinued.

Instead, I'm working with a couple of new concepts, check the last posts to see how it's progressing.

I'll be posting the updates on this thread and in the official 3D art one, but I can't promise to be regular - mind that if I'm not doing any is because I'm out of time, be sure that I'll keep you guys in touch when I have something to show.

Permissions:

You can add this armour to your mod without contacting me first, just credit me.

For modifications on the armour, be it a retexture or even a remodeling, just don't forget to note that it's modified and credit my work and that's OK.

Credits:

Thanks to Narf of Picklestink for the base metal texture, it helped a lot.

The upper pauldron meshes were imported from one of the armours in his Transitional Armour Pack because of the rigging, although, they were modified.

Nice, very nice.

Yay, it's done

Do you mind changing your requirements for redistribution a wee bit, asking for explicit credit and requesting, but not requiring, that all modifications be approved by you?  See how Narf and Dejawolf handle this issue.

Basically, I want to make some changes to the skin, and I don't include things in Blood and Steel that I can't give back to others to use, so this would be very helpful

Done.

From the site:

"Modification permission

You are allowed to modify my files and release bug fixes or improve on the features so long as you credit me as the original creator"

Use well

Thank you very much for being understanding, I like staying within the letter of the requirements

In truth I have rushed through that part, I haven't understood it completely, now it's correct.

I changed in the description too, as first I wrote that if possible to contact me, but I removed that as well 

EDIT: Nice of your part asking first too, even if it was not that necessary 

[xenoargh]

I always ask; some people here are persnickety about these things, and their work can't be used as a result.  Anyhow, I always pass back anything major I do past minor re-colors and the like, so you can yell at me then if you don't like it or let others use it if you do

[SacredStoneHead]

I haven't worked on this thing past months just to let no one use it, hell no! 

[xenoargh]

Well, I'm already done messing with it.  It's really a great piece of work, loving all the little details

[AWdeV]

It's fantastabulous. Now it just needs a nifty pair of boots to go along with it. Hinthintwinkwinknudgenudge.

I think plate greaves should suffice pretty well..

I got back working on this pack and I couldn't find a way to finish the current armour.

I'm definitely not happy with its current state, it needs a big change to have the features that are bugging me wiped out .

Adding to that, the main texture file got corrupted, so in order to make all the necessary changes I'll have double work ahead.

Therefore, I decided that it don't worth the endeavour, so I'll not be working on it anymore.

Then, I got a creative burst and done this:

I think it has a more badass and nordic look than the last version, so I'll work on this concept for now on.

What do you think?

[Windyplains]

I think your concept art looks fairly awesome.  I look forward to seeing a modeled version of that.

Some progress on the modeling:

Just some steps and I'll begin the texturing

Very impressive! I'd love to have more nord items in the game. They are definitely my favorite faction.
