Any modellers interested in making a ball mask?

[Sir Taffsalot]

I'm working on a two part campaign with both parts being released seperately. The second part is going to take place in a manor during a ball so it would be nice if the guests have some venetian ball masks to wear. 2 at least. It wouldn't look good if everyone was wearing the same mask.

 

Here's a few pics of what I have in mind:

 

 

 

 

I won't be starting on the second part of the campaign until the first part is released so there's no rush. I would love to have a go at modelling myself but just making this campaign is going to take me the rest of the year.

You only have to look at Nosslaks stuff... http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/11496-nosslaks-stuff/page__st__1000 ...around this sides you should find his intensions.

 

They are not finished afaik. But you should apply to him.

lol It was actually his ball mask design that started my interest in making a masquerade ball FM. Unfortunately he said he doesn't know if he'll finish them due to real life stuff. Hence why I'm fishing around for other modellers. I hope he can get them finished. They do look really good.

sorry i've got 2 other projects on my plate right now, but I would totally do this if I had nothing going on.

Dont know enough about modeling right now, maybe in the future I'll be able to help?

As I said in the first post I haven't even started on the second part of this campaign which is what I will be needing them for. When the first part is released I'm also taking a break from DR. So I probably won't need them for a year. So if you feel like having a go at some point in the future I would be very interested to see what you come up with.

Sorry for the bump. I know I should let sleeping threads lie. However I plan to start work on Vengeance for a Thief part 2 soon and would really like some ball masks. At least two. If everyone was wearing the same mask it would look odd.

how is your timeline/ when do you plan to finish this mission?

at which point do you have to know whether or not the masks are available?

Do you have textures/skins for them already?

I think it will take me around six months to build. If you need me to delay the FM I dont mind waiting a few weeks or months if you are really commited to helping me out with the modelling.

 

Technically I see no reason why this FM wont work without them. So for the second question they can wait until the end. Let me explain. For storyline purposes this FM takes place in a manor during a ball. There will be 3-4 AI mingling in every room and corridor on the ground floor. It will be a bitch for the player to sneak around. It would be easier if it was a masked ball because the player can be disguised as a guest. Upper floors and basement will be out of bounds so thats where the sneaking will take place. As far as playability goes I just have to put the player on the same team as everyone on the ground floor. So I should be able to play the FM and beta test it without the masks so they can wait until the very end.

 

I have nothing for you to work with so you would be starting from scratch. I do however know of a modeller (Nossolak) who was working on two ball masks (they were what inspired the story for this FM) but couldn't finish them due to real life stuff. He posted a picture of them in the What Are Your Working ON thread and as far as looks go they looked damn fine to me. If you like I'll PM him to see if he'd like to donate them to me and I'll pass them on to you to see if you can finish them off. I think I'll PM him anyway incase I find someone who can finish them off.

 

Let me know if your interested. I think this is a damn fine fine story that I have and ball masks would just be cool to have in TDM

I have no experiences in modelling by now but I thought of trying it out anyways. So by making those mask I had a goal at least .

I just thought it would be a possibility if you don't find an experienced modeller.

I know the thread, pretty nice stuff, true. As I'm mainly working on mapping (and my diploma - real life stuff) I can't promise you anything. But I can inform you if I'm finding the time and making progress. I'm really interested as I like the idea pretty much.

 

We'll see.
