Texture Artist Wanted!

It's no secret that since computers got more than eight colours my ability to make textures has gone completely tits up and pear shaped.

My absolute need to make new furniture for the Caldera Experiment has left me with a dilemma. What I really need right now is someone that is willing to work with me and my models to create a medieval style touch to the interiors.

I could just slap a wood texture on them and have done with it but I want something more.

Most medieval furniture had carvings and markings like this;

Now I know this can be done with stencils, a good eye and time but as I am now alone on the project I just don't want to spend the time needed to create the textures as I am already immensely busy on models, planning scripts, possible quests and figuring out how to make everything slot together.

If you think you can help me out on the texture side then please let me know. The right person needs to be available, willing to stick it out for every piece of furniture and most of all, someone that wants to see their textures in the living world of Morrowind.

You can contact me on any of the following;

I will need the artist to start soon so please, please click those links and get in on this project.

Thanks in advance

The Caldera Candle Company

At long last I have removed the thorn in my side! All those damn candles everywhere on Vvardenfell and no one that makes them. That had to be fixed. Now we have another reason for the Dreugh wax and one more thing that doesn't leave you wondering "Where the .... do they all come from"?

We may just see a brewery next or something else I've always wanted to see in game.

Remember. If you have ideas or suggestions then you can drop me a line or even bang something in the comments below..

The Caldera Experiment Discord

Five minutes of fame...

If you have ever wondered how British I was here is your chance... A really long interview of me by DarkElfGuy where I prattle on about not liking RPG's, how thr community is full of nerds and the best of British culture...




Aside from that I did manage to make a new model today and add it to the game.

Since this snap shot it's received a door overhang and a hand rail at the top of those stairs.

So what's left? A little slum area for commoners and non other than the Caldera Candle Company which I am looking forward to making.

Thanks all for the great ideas (mostly for quests) that I've received, you really surprised me with the amount I got!!

I would love to use them all but maybe I will at some point but, for now, I will be very happy to finish all the models and start on the interiors - they are challenging.

Blacksmith of dooooom!

After seven incarnations of Holismod's blackmith I buckled down today and made a final model. Piecing together lots of ideas from medieval smith's yards and again some influence from Age of Kings I managed to design something I was happy with at long last.

And I couldn't resist a quick video;




That's it for today. Tomorrow I will do a few needed tweaks on the model that I didn't notice until it was in game and possibly then I can move on to the final exterior models.

Also today I added a WIP page to ModDB - The Caldera Experiment

Thanks to Trancemaster I finally figured it out :D

New things

I didn't think it was going to be but today turned out quite productive, for Caldera anyway.

Finally managed to make a Ghorak manor that I am happy with and make it look a bit creepy to boot.

There will be a spiky iron railed fence surrounding it later and new windows especially for it but for now....

I also managed to fit in a set of steps for the barracks and a better arched entrance for it as well....

Bad weather when I took these pics :D

Here's to another productive day tomorrow and maybe just maybe I will be almost done with the exterior models (the big stuff at least)

Please remember. If you have any ideas (this includes interiors/ furniture etc) then please visit the Discord or send me an email - You can even comment in the box below this post (no one comments on blogsites!)

Busy day.

Today I managed to strike a couple of things from my long list. One of those things being the Caldera Guard Barracks.

It turned out a lot bigger than I first anticipated but I believe it needed it. All that ebony and stuff.

Here she is;

Fills a large gap where I had no idea what to put there...

Here is the model itself before vertex shading was added and other tweaks;

I also managed to get around to starting the models for the market stalls. Well, one at least.

Hang on. You know what? I'll just make a quick video.

(Please ignore the window in the last part! I didn't see that :D)
