August 2010 CC Challenge!

               Wow, that looks fantastic. Seeing that in a cleric's room would automatically impart a lot about the character of this priest. Very nice!

Well, my prayer bench is as done as I can do it, with the time I have available just now. I tried to make the textures a bit better, but I'm still positive they could use a kind hand sometime. Sorry to say, I hadn't the time to produce the 'accessories' I'd wanted to, but I did manage a holy book for the top of the kneeler, as a separate placeable.
Here's an in-game screenshot:


What I need now, is to find a place to upload this package, because I'd rather not submit to the Vault, and rather have it included with the rest in a single Vault entry. Any suggestions? Does the projects page on this site support this kind of thing?

Regards,
JFK

               Yes you can upload stuff to projects here.   I think inorder to have more then one person able to upload to one you also have to form a group.   Not sure about that part.

               I couldn't get the files to upload to my Project, repeatedly getting a timeout error. Anyway, here is a link to my entry in August's Challenge:

This was a fun challenge. Nicely done to all involved.

               Awesome prayer bench, Frith.  And good to see the cloak stand with some textures, Jez.  This is really turning out quite well, isn't it?  :-)

               I didn't follow this thread since it was started and I still don't really have anything relevant to add to it but looking at the screenshots now I'm amazed what great things you can accomplish within a month. All of the presented placeable will be fantastic additions to the pool of NWN Custom Content and I hope they'll be packaged and uploaded to the Vault once they're finished.

Congratulations to all participants and to Jez for initiating this fruitful Challenge! What a splendid idea! '>

               Thanks for the submission JFK, I love it ^^

@Este: well just enough to be of use, but quite far from what I envisionned first XD Ah well... reality is just a let down...



@Olivier: thanks! I agree 8D and yes a handy package with all entries will be submitted to the vault.

                Alright, my original idea wasn't working out too well. After showing Six my basic plan, he said too modern. So I scrapped it.

I looked over images of antique desks, and found this one

I thought it had a feminine feel to it with the curves. I modeled the desk to this shape, adding a sort of scroll case of sorts on the side.

I wont mimic the texture however, as I want it to look very religious. Something along the lines of this

This is the model.

I'm hoping to have it textured and ready to go sometimes Tuesday night.

               That looks great, mori. Knew you'd come up with something really cool in the end. Between everyone we've come up with a great set of placeables this month that should come in very handy. I particularly like Frith's lecturn.



Incidentally if anyone does need someone to upload files to I'll happily host them on my area of Tom_Banjo's nwn1cc site.

               Great-looking model, Mori - and, judging by the middle photo (which I love), the texture is going to look fabulously ecclesiastical!  :-D
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Morikahn]

               Middle photo is of a pulpit in the vatican.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Estelindis]

               So it really *is* fabulously ecclesiastical! 
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Morikahn]

               OK, so I'm not going to get this done in time. I may be a day or two late, depending on how long I'm stuck at work tomorrow.

I've made definite progress. The main desk is UV mapped and has basic textures and lighting. Screen shot below. I still need to put in the religious icon details into the texture, most likely using a combination of painting and bevel effects.

               wooo nice Morikahn (I mean the model...). Do you try to humble everyone? =)

I think we can wait a day or two, not really a problem. Thanks for participating!

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Morikahn]

               Thanks Jez. Hopefully the finished product will still be worthy of praise. I'll explain how I do this in a tutorial afterwards.
