About this image
The publishing date is yet unknown, but it shouldn't take long :)
Hell, I forgot how frustrating Blender is when you forget (or didn't know) even the basics, and how rewarding and fun once you remember or learn them. Nifskope is another dark corner I'm exploring at the moment.
I know some of you will just laugh at it because you can produce five books like this in an hour, but for me it was a whole journey on which a few times I had to throw everything away and start again (sometimes even unnecessarily, as it turned out later...). So I'm pretty happy and just wanted to share with you the result of tonight's effort. I'll add a few things (normal map, a few details, and some Nifskope magic) but at least LordGermanicus book has moved from the stage of written word and a 2D concept to a 3D object.

This is just a simple, little step, but it's better than doing nothing.
Perhaps when you expand to other book projects, you could use Oblivion Font:

(Note that one is Russian.)
I use some of the fonts for tatoos (like the hand tatoo on my character)
Oh, and thanks for suggestions. They are great fonts, I just don't know if LordGermanicus's Shoracsburgloca is in any way related to Oblivion as a realm, therefore I'm not sure if its symbolism would be appropriate in this case. I've got a feeling it's more like Ubanga or Asuron - a self-contained realm on the fringes of known civilisation.
For any other project, though, these fonts are very handy
But keep in mind that this is LordGermanicus mod - I'm simply toying with graphics, but it's just a decoration for his content. As it will be included in LordGermanicus future mod, he's the owner of this volume and the chief librarian - you need to ask him for permissions and such
By the way, the cover's already ascended to another stage of development, but I'm not sure if it stays - you don't want your framerate to drop while reading a book, do you?
...and cool title for this image!
The second is this episode of the BBC's last Rodin hood TV series where a guy was translating a copy of the Bible from Latin to English. It was this massive looking book with mismatched pages and a heavy leather bindings. Sadly they burned it at the end of the episode. I want to say it was from season two or three. Been a while since I watched the show so I'd have to look it up later after I get home from work.
You are really awesome .
