My Interior Showcase

Post by vrolok »

Yeah, wanted to contribute a little more to the projects, so I decided to try my hand at interiors. Maybe I can do some of more menial tasks for awhile.
I am not very experienced with modding Morrowind so far, but I've had some experience + Oblivion modding experience.

This is actually first interior I properly built from scratch in Morrowind. Nothing too fancy, but I think it looks okay. I hope I haven't screwed anything up. I used many tapestries and rugs, but I am not sure if they are region specific or not. If they are, it's not too good I guess.

The interior is for Hlaalu house "ex_hlaalu_b_05" and it features a relatively small and cheap cornerclub, utilizing de_p furniture. I tried to rotate a few things, looks easy enough, but I did not go out of my way to rotate every single thing.

The club is called Ash and Cinder Cornerclub and I even made up a small story about it. My thought was that it's primarily not a cornerclub, but a brothel where young girls from ashlanders' tribes end up working after they leave their community. You will see that even though it's a cornerclub, there are several rooms downstairs for that purpose.

Anyway, there are no NPCs or exterior, so it's not too important, but I wanted you to know the original idea. Hope the interior is not too bad :P

Some screenshots, but the thing is pretty standard:

P.S. By mistake I used Steam version of the game to create this plugin and it uses more fresh Master files, so I don't think it is optimal. I also have original version of the game on my laptop, so I will make future work using original GOTY

Lighting: set
Illegal to sleep here: No, you need to check the 'Illegal to sleep here' box in house interiors, so players can't take a kip on the floor
Northmarker: No, you need to add a Northmarker
Gridsnap: yes

- Misc_Com_Bottle_14 not resting properly on the table
- com_sack_02_chpfood3 needs to bleed into the floor a bit more (sacks are soft, not hard!) Also furn_de_rope1_01 is coming up through the floor here, push it back down :)
- misc_de_cloth10 not resting properly
- Potion_Local_Brew_01 not resting properly
- misc_de_goblet_03 not resting properly
- Gold_025 not resting properly
- Skooma pipe in the room is ok I guess since it's a cornerclub and it's quite well hidden by the cushions, so long as you understand it's not to be put in any old interior
- Lots of objects on this shelf not resting properly

Don't be afraid to add rotation and scaling to your objects -- the fallen bottle on the bottom shelf is nice, but you can add more rotation on some of the cups etc.
Shelves like this can look like this if you add scaling, which is more objects and more interest for little effort.
The only other thing I would say is to add some more references, to get it over the 200 mark. Clothing, jewellery, gold, minor potions, books, misc items are all there for you to use! Some plates maybe?



Overall a lovely interior for your first effort! Great use of lighting, and rotation of objects like on this table shows you know how to do it!

Polish up the things I've pointed out here (most of them only need a bit of minor rotation on one or so axes) and I'll be happy to issue a recommendation for promotion :)

Thank you both, guys, for the constructive criticism :D . I expected a few mistakes on my part, just because of the lack of experience. Yeah, stuff like North Marker and Illegal to Sleep completely slipped through my mind. I will try fixing all of the issues you've pointed out and will upload a fixed version today.

How about now? I think I fixed most of it, hopefully all of it. Added a publican, just to show where exactly I planned for him to be. Yes, he is supposed to be a Camonna Tong, just like this whole brothel aka cornerclub. Locked the door on the first floor. Slightly changed pathgrid, added North Marker, added a bit more clutter, etc. I did not add ownership though, but I know how to do it if it's needed. What do you think?
