I wouldn't call posting the same skins you're posting everywhere an update for this one mod.. considering that they're offered to virtually any other mod (or at least the ones I'm a part of (except Echoes because Matias is.. well, yeah :p)) I look at, yeah.

Like I've said before.. don't really like the skins TBQH. The photos don't match up with the oodles of little detailing and 'off' colours. Just my thoughts on them.

Posting before was always in beta and private forums where a lot of people couldn't see them and therefore this topic is for everyone to see not just a selected few. Further these skins are just the beginning and in future updates once factions have been more finalised I will render them on the offical woa renders however as not everything is not decided this is just a quick glimpse of the mod and my skinning that's all and further many mods share skins

Wars of Arda is now recruiting! A brief overview...

I'm appealing now fro anyone with modding skills able to help us out. We are going to be needing as many of the following as we can get our hands on.

-Modellers and Skinners: I know this is an often repeated request but I cant stress how much we are going to need additional modellers and skinners, as there is just too much that needs making for one person to be able to handle it all themselves in any kind of reasonable timeframe.
-Mappers: Especiallt anyone with knowledge fo scripting. We still have a lot fo missions to make for the other eras, plus a wide assortment of new skirmish maps needed.
-Animators: This is the holy grail for us, if you can animate in 3D we could really use your help for some of our more unusual units (monsters and creatures for which we cant use existing skeletons and animations.
-Special Effects: While not strictly necessary for gameplay some new special power and other assorted special effects make a big difference the the atmosphere of the game, and anyone skilled in implementing particle effects would be most welcome.


To apply you can go to the topic itself here and show Mordred your skills. Since the War of the Ring era is all but finished, we'll soon have a public beta out for your enjoyment. Starting the Fall of Arnor era requires a lot of work, so come and join us!

There have been other skins I have done for Arwen , which for one reason or another I have decided to leave out, mainly the white ones- Angel and bridge, farewell gowns, if you would like to see any please say so as I have not include any of the FOTR lady gowns in the mod at the moment.

Next week update will either be elves or Harad Faction, you can decide, so which one would you lot prefer?
Keeping supporting the mod, and things have started to speed up!!! Yeah :D

*sigh* Feeling ignored here. Oh well. Next update: Elrond.

Hey,

This weeks update is to show off the new wardbrobe for Elrond Halfelven, as he now has quite an extensive wardbrobe to rival Arwen at this moment, but not for long( more about that later). He has a brand new armour design and some orignal unarmoured forms as well

They look great, maybe if you took some in game screens instead of us looking at it from the W3D perspective it would give us a truer picture and allow us to actually comment on it properly.

If your texture is properly set up you can have it constant easily...
