For me, the project is about as intimidating as this guy.

About this image

I'm working on a private project which, at its pinnacle, will include transfers of every FFXI Artifact set, and other personally favored suits of mine, as playable armors inside the world of Oblivion.

This is a screenshot of the Iron Musketeer's set. It's not rigged, hasn't been scaled, and doesn't have any collision. In fact, it's more or less a carbon copy of what you can find on FFXI.

I have no plans so far to release this mod publicly, unless Square Enix decides to be super-nice and allows me to redistribute blatant rips of meshes from their games. For now, consider this no more than a testament to how mind-numbingly easy it can be for somebody to import custom meshes given the right tools.

Upon my completion, I will try to speak with Square about redistributing this nonetheless. It wouldn't hurt to ask, I guess.

On a side note, I better get this out of the way before I give this post a chance to get flamed: I am NOT posting pirated material. This is a picture that I, myself, had taken. If you want to bash me for uploading illegitimate material, wait until I upload the actual ripped meshes without Square's consent (Which, I can assure you, I won't.) The project is a personal experiment in which I hone my skills as a modder.
I had taken these meshes from a copy of FFXI that had been legally purchased by me. So I hadn't pirated the game either.

That nasty disclaimer stuff aside, enjoy! I'll have new sreens of my discoveries in the future.
