Old Shields in CEP: Working on updated models/textures.

Yeah, I know I've seen the symbol on 168 somewhere, too, just can't remember where. It's gotta be a holy symbol or something, but I can't place it.

 

Edit: Found it! Red Wizards (of Thay)

 

I'm sure I can whip up something for all of the others easily enough. I'm just hoping for a little background information so I can work from source material if I can. I actually really like the design of 158, but the existing image is too small to stretch out for the new shield textures.

80 shields (with matching inventory icons) remade and ready to drop into the CEP's next update (due out sometime within the next month).

 

Here's links to a couple of large screenshots taken in the toolset. They're not the best images (because each  includes every redone shield), but they should give a nice preview of things to come. One shows the outdated shields, the other is the same shields with the new models and textures (plus one extra I'm throwing in just because).

 

The Old vs. The New

 

#90 (row 2, position 1 in the images) actually has a 3d skull bound to the front of the shield now. #165 (row 4, position 4) now has a shiny 3d gemstone embedded in the front.

That's a great improvement! This will be very welcome. Thanks!

These are great!

 

Many of those old shields were so bad I was about to just remove them, but having this update is so much nicer.

I discovered 14 more shields in my list that I'd forgotten to do (just as I was starting to make inventory icons). Most of those have now been made, but there are a half dozen left that I don't know the origins of the symbols/designs for. So, oh gurus of everything Forgotten Realms (or other dimensions), can anyone tell me what organizations/deities/whatever the numbered symbols/designs belong to?

 

 

Once I get these last six done, the final number will be 79 redone large shields.

168 - http://forgottenreal...Wizards_of_Thay

 

157, 158, 167 do not ring a bell at all with anything I remember.

165 and 167 are Zhentarim symbols -165 is Zhentil Keep and 167 is Darkhold. As others have said, 162 is Ghaunadaur and 168 is Thay. I can't either find 157 or 158 but I've a strong suspicion that 157 is a wizards mark/glyph (just can't recall who's) and 158 is very reminiscent of a section of a clock face - could it be the 3.5e Machine God?

157 = the harpers mark for "safe haven"
