Mod Design and Layout

As those of you who have known me in the Morrowind Modding Community, I always try to flesh out the visual and concept of my mods first before I get around to an actual synopsis/background/mod lore for any mod that I do that is pretty extensive. My reasoning for this approach is that with extensive mod creation you can get bored pretty fast if continually just working on a story without any type of physical/visual foundation to stand by.

Concepts for this mod become very important as that would be short little reminders of what you need to stay focused on.

Concepts also help me to get a basis or “theme” about what type of assets that need to be created.

Layout is also key to this so using a “rough” idea (I know that sounds weird, but the context in is its right place😉)

What is meant by rough idea is the amount of realism/lore correctness needed to make the mod correct to the proper timeline being emulated/depicted. It also gives a full sense of total emersion of the environment where the player can get an idea of what is actually being seen/done and the type of mood/sensation created to give a general idea of how things are handled while playing the mod.

So as I post my progress on this mod, please know that everything has a purpose and to be patient with me as far as things being posted.

All in all, do enjoy the eye candy provided as I will not disappoint! 😆

I have always been fascinated with the idea of PC Game Modding and always wanted to be able to publish my game modifications so everyone in the world can play them (my PC game mods) and enjoy quality gaming experience with my PC game modifications. My first attempt at making game modifications had failed, because I didn't quite know how to work with some of the programs I was required to work with. But I never gave up my dream of making quality game modifications. Later on through the years I had purchased this PC game named The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. At first I was just curious about one of the CD-Rom Disks that the game came with. As I loaded it onto my computer, I found out that this game came with a disk that lets you create your own modifications to the game without messing the original game itself up. I was excited to know that I was about to embark upon the PC Game Modding World with making my own mods. When I published my first mod and submitted it to a PC Game Modding Website, people started to download my first mod and play it. The feedback from people downloading the mod was all I needed to continue my dream making quality PC game mods. When I heard that you can make your own 3D objects and put them into your mod I was like "Hold the phone! You can put your own 3D Models into you mod to besides using what is already in the game!" So I went and downloaded this great 3D Program Software named Blender. As I was playing around in Blender one night after reading countless tutorials and guides on how to find your way around, I discovered the magic of making 3D objects transparent with color. And my first 3D model turned out just as I imagined it would. So as I kept playing around in Blender 2.43, I found out how to make gemstones. The more practice I got in making 3D models, the better I became good at making gemstones. But as kept looking at it some thing was missing, the little glint fx that are being made. Once I got that down, their was no stopping me now.
