Today I'de like to Announce my new Project, called Forsaken Kingdom. What is Forsaken Kingdom? Im glad you asked. FK is an Oblivion TC based off the world of Zelda. This project will create a Hyrule based of a composite map, and will feature familiar areas, items, and chariters from many of your favorite Zelda games. My goal is to create a world that any zelda fan can step in to and instantly they recognize it. Keep an eye out for future updates, but in the mean time enjoy this promotional sig.

It probably will take well over a year, but Im in no hurry. And as for the Cloud Cities, I think I'll quote Da Vinci, "I will speak no more about the horse."

Also, I finally got around to touching up the mini-sig, enjoy.

the old one was solid black with white lettering, the new one has some Hylian lettering, a gradiant background, and a little Triforce. You probably just didnt realize it since I replaced the old one instead of just adding a new one. :rolleyes:

It is a reasonable sized map, Roughly the size of the Shivering Isles. Also Im nearly finished with the Ordona regon, so you guys can expect some first look screen shots comeing soon.

Nice work! You did a better Ordon village than mine! I'm a bit jealous... :angry:

lol! :lol:

At least I got a concept from your work. My version of Ordon is a bit crappy from what I can tell of it's certain view.

Time for another update. Im sure that by now you guys must be getting curious about the gameplay. For starters you will not play as Link. You will be able to make a custom chariter using nine different Hyrulian races, each with unique powers and abilitys. Nearly every weapon, armor, and spell in the game will be unique, so there will be ALOT more emphasis on collecting items. There will be few actual dungeons(mabey about 16) but each one will have thier own unique puzzles and obstacles. Any questions so far?

Ive been playing around in blender, and I've got a few meshes to show off. They may not be much to look at, but they're my first fully UV mapped meshes, and I'm proud of them.

Im glad you guys like them. Ive been meaning to do another update for awhile, but I sorta hit a snag. I decided to completely reinstall Oblivion, but I forgot to back up the files in my mesh folder. I also forgot that I didn't have a hardcopy of my BSA extractor. Long story short, I just now finised reapplying all my textures. But I do have something new to show you guys.

The Razor Sword, originally featured in LoZ:Majora's Mask.

Looks great! Crossguard/handle/pommel look a little to setting in some places. But that would just be the set smooth setting in effect.

Yup, I would have smothed the whole thing, but then you wouldn't be able to see the segments. When I went to UV map this thing I noticed that the gem in the pommel seems to be inside out. Would anyone happen to know a way to fix that in Blender? :scratch:

Select the gem in edit mode. Look for a button called flip normals in the mesh tools at the bottom. That will fix it.

Hey, Crazydave? Can I use your Link's tunic texture? I only need the texture, because I can't redo the tunic. It's the same mesh. I'll still put you on credit though.

UPDATE : I made Link's tunic like this, but the belt strap is off color. Here's how it looks.

@ Bat, thanks that did the trick. It also helped out with my newest meshes.

@ Slyther, If you still want to use my Hero Shirt texture, you're welcome to. Let me just upload it somewhere, then I'll PM you a link. By the way, those are some nice meshes you got there. Now I'm jealous :D .

And lastly @ everyone, Ive got more stuff to show off. Behold:

Rod of seasons

Harp of Ages

And I'm going to finish off this set with the book of secrets later.

Nice models. I see the face count in the top right. But its odd. Both of the models have the exact same faces, vertices, objects, lights, file name, and memory usage... :blink:

Anyway, if the face counts are correct. Then the rod seems a little on the high side. Not like it really matters. But in a high(ish) graphics game squeezing a few less faces out to get that extra one or two FPS can help.

Very observant, and its no coincedence, its the same mesh. I made them both together to save time. It also means the face count isn't as high as it looks. If you were VERY observant you would have noticed they have the same file name. ;)

Well, combineing projects would be the obvious thing to do, but the problem would be in having to compromise the concept of one or both projects. Im not saying I wouldn't be open to it, I think I may just need to some pondering.
