Big thanks to Lady N for the ref folders! These are just here for my own convenience. Links should probably be put in the concept art forum too.

That looks great. Are these Minotaur able to speak? Would they live in cities alongside the other races?
I feel like they should not live in "human" cities. There is no use of such creatures in TES so it would be weird to just add them in all of a sudden. I think these should be treated as primitive native tribes of sub-Saharan Africa and the Amazon of Brazil. Perhaps even have enough of a distinction in some models to show the difference in jungle tribes or plains tribes.

cheers yeti, yeah this variant should have dialogue. probably something similar to the ashlanders with certain customs to ensure the players safety in the tribes etc. agree with Samir about living in cities tho, maybe one or two in the imperial city trying to become merchants? infragris would be the one to ask
will definitely do some variations of the model once it's finished. I think a female version is top of my list atm

I like the idea of a talking minotaur prophet in a temple of Morihaus somewhere. Other than that, merchants and tribal societies are spot on.

That is a sweet looking character model! I agree that it'd be odd to just see them waltzing around the IC, but in some outlying and backwater settlements, I can see them being an awesome addition.

quick wip progress video on the minotaur idle2 and attack animations. haven't had much free time for this stuff with a show coming up unfortunately
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajnU3ZN ... e=youtu.be" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
black line is 3ds internal renderer and I have no clue how to change it. this is what the model looks in game atm
ideas for animations? especially for idles. thinking of doing a semi-religious thing with them looking up at the moons with mori being the companion of pelinal/lorkhan? or something to do with kyne?
also starting female variant. open for ideas concerning clothing here also

Quick paintover of the female for a basic clothing proposal:

Wow, that's fantastic. I watched the video like 10 times, in awe every time. Regarding clothes - how about some kind of abolla for the male? He could also go with a nose ring, though it may be quite cliche.
I imagine the female wearing plain white dress with a simple rope belt, as seen on the right here. I think the contrast between her rough appearance and pure outfit would be interesting here.

Really awesome looking Minotaurs and concepts!
Could you post a size comparison with an Imperial of it?
And the Anvil soldiers would be using halberds, right? Or is that a pike?

I like these guys. We should definitely keep the helmet shape of the right one, since that's referenced multiple times in concept art.
I wonder how difficult it is to have animations for guard holding spears, blocking paths and whatever.

creatures can only have a limited number of idles and i assume the same is true for npcs. if we were to do a new idle it would have to take the place of one of the current idles i think, and every npc with a % chance to play that idle in the CS would do it. and randomly. I think this is why vivec, alma and ur were creatures for unique anims
could be wrong tho, i havent touched animations in months and haven't got morrowind installed yet either :/

The messiah, OpenMW, will rescue us from such dread limitations.
You can actually assign file with animations to selected NPC and animations that are in the assigned file will overwrite vanilla ones only for given NPC. For example, you can have files myAnimations.nif, xmyAnimations.kf and xmyAnimations.nif, which will contain animations labelled as Idle7, Idle8 and Idle9. If you assign this file to given NPC, he/she will have Idle1-6 from vanilla file (not sure which one it is for NPCs, but I think it might be simply base_anim.nif, xbase_anim.kf, xbase_anim.nif) and Idle7-9 from the new file. No other NPCs will be affected.Ald-Ma' Cyrod wrote:creatures can only have a limited number of idles and i assume the same is true for npcs. if we were to do a new idle it would have to take the place of one of the current idles i think, and every npc with a % chance to play that idle in the CS would do it. and randomly.

Oh right, like Antares did for his Animated Morrowind series.
Exactly. You just need to also configure it's AI package correctly to play animations. It is also possible to set the animation play chance differently via scripts and dialogResults, so you can force-play some animation when you want to.
I love this Hope you don't mind that I sketched over your Minotaur sketch

low class nibenese pant variants. mud overlay on left and paint on the right, thought being we can reuse assets with minor edits to show a wide variety of trades. will try and get the set finished up tomorrow with some color variants and maybe some with satchels and other decoration. anything in particular people would want to see on these?

For me the layers do not display, but they are a good call. I think I'm going to start with some of that myself, once I have finished that last stuff for Stirk.
