Custom Content Challenge: August 2014: African Adventures / Tileset Expansions

[Legacy_Shadooow]

               

Sorry I decided to not send the tile I showed in first pages because this month the African theme totally ruined the tile modifications, please add the second theme back to poll so maybe it will be chosen again sometimes and please do not make two themes at once again. That tile was supposed to be for my open sea tileset so maybe I finish it sometimes.

 

I am still working on a tse-tse fly using fairy model as a base. Might finish it today, but don't expect miracles from me... it will be substantially lame '>

problem is:

 

blend Lighten

 

Lighten only adds to the underlying colors in the scene. So if you use black, it adds 0 to the values. So if you want something that darkens, you use a dark texture, and use the blend Normal option. You may then need to alter your alpha layer on the texture and/or the alphaStart/End values to compensate for the difference in drawing.

I think I give up.

 

After 4 hours I am getting nowhere, it still way too off from what I wanted to achieve. Im sure that one of your skilled moddeler would be able to do this in few minutes, but I am constantly stumbling over many issues.

 

I am not able to center wings to the torso.

The model is highlighted on the wrong place.

 

If I keep the standard fairy torso and remove the texture then it looks like flying miniboobs :/

Files are online. My apologies for the tardiness, I blame busy life and NWN burnout (which I'm ~75% recovered from) after pushing hard to get the CEP update out there.
