Sickleyield and AlienSlof and Kalikut for their neverending supply of advice and encouragement.

The entire original TeamFF:
AcidRain:'Clothing Models'
Initially inspired by the immersion breaking model used for the
'Apron of Adroitness' AcidRain began rebuilding the stock oblivion
clothing shortly after the Fantasy Figures Alpha release. When it
came time to put the official Fantasy Figures team together
AcidRain’s invitation was a no brainer and fortunately for the team
one readily accepted.
Though only new to modelling AcidRain shows a clear and ever
expanding talent and despite his claims of moving at a leisurely
pace he continues to keep the team on its toes with the rapidity
and quality of his work.

Corwyn:'Initial Project Lead and Body Models'
Corwyn created the base female model and UVW in 'Autodesk 3Ds Max'
using 'Bethesda Softworks' original 'TESIV Oblivion' character
models as a reference. From the base female model Corwyn created
the female Argonian, Dremora, Dunmer(or Dark Elf), Imperial(used
for Altmer/High Elf, Bosmer/Wood Elf, Imperial, Nord, and Redguard),
Mystic Elves and Orsimer(or Orc) female body models and UVW's.
Corwyn Also created the Argonian and Khajiit tail models again
using 'Bethesda Softworks' original 'TESIV Oblivion' character
models as a reference.

Daede:'Current Project Lead and Body Textures'
Daede created the base female texture in 'Adobe Photoshop' using
open source reference images primarily from http://www.3d.sk/ as
well as 'Bethesda Softworks' original 'TESIV Oblivion' character
textures. From the base female texture Daede created the female
Argonian, Dremora, Dunmer(or Dark Elf), Imperial(used for
Altmer/High Elf, Bosmer/Wood Elf, Imperial, Nord, and Redguard),
Mystic Elves and Orsimer(or Orc) female body textures. Daede also
created the Alternate Orsimer(or Orc) head texture using open
source reference images as well as 'Bethesda Softworks' original
'TESIV Oblivion' Orc character head textures; and the Argonian Head
texture using open source reference images as well as
'ShadyTradesman's' 'Improved Argonian Facial Textures' Argonian
character head textures.

Kalikut:'Web Design'
A long time fan of the Fantasy Figures project, Kalikut eagerly
offered her time and experience in the creation and maintenance of
TeamFF's web space; and is through Kalikut that Corwyn's vision is
brought out of private forums and into the public domain at large.
Whilst remaining true to the spirit of Corwyn's original design
Kalikuthas managed to build a central hub that serves to provide
the Elder Scrolls community and TeamFF members alike an easily
navigatable repository for all Fantasy Figures related articles
and information.

Oubliette:'Community Liaison and QA Testing'
Having followed all of the many Oblivion body modifications hoping
to find the one that's just right for her, Oubliette with her
naturalconfidence and unwavering opinions earned her place on
TeamFF through her inability to do anything but speak her mind.
Oubliette's refreshingly untempered personality was the perfect
addition to a team in dire need of uncensored Quality Assurance
and Community Representation.
This dark diva armed with her trusty Wacom Graphire Tablet,
Imageready and Photoshop brings many skills to the Team Fantasy
Figures table; not least of which is her big mouth.

Robert:'Body Model Tweaks'
Upon Corwyn's disappearance Daede quickly realised he had neither
the time or talent to complete FF alone and having spoken with
Corwyn at length regarding Robert's unique 3d modelling abilities
in the past it was clear who best to turn to. Fortunately for the
project and despite his own ongoing work in other areas Robert was
willing, able and eagerto help out.
Though ever reluctant to be credited, Robert has proven to be of
invaluable assistance in finalising Corwyn's models, providing a
slew of tweaks and fixes which would have otherwise likely
prevented FF from ever being fully realised.

SickleYield:'Armour Models'
SickleYield began privately rebuilding the stock Oblivion armour
shortly after the Alpha release of Fantasy Figures and so impressed
were both Corwyn and Daede by her speed and skill that they
immediately began to think of SickleYield as the unofficial FF
Armourer. After a few conversations it became clear that not only
was SickleYield extremely talented but also that she too shared in
the vision of FF and it is with great pleasure that Team FF now
call SickleYield it's Official Armourer.
SickleYield uses the Open Source programs 'Blender' and 'the GIMP'
in her modelling work and as the author of a number of tutorials in
the use of these programs is dedicated to assisting others with
learning how to use these programs to mod for 'The Elder Scrolls.


AlienSlof:'Seamless Male Dremora'http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=7144
AlienSlof's body and face textures from the 'Seamless Male Dremora'
Plug-In where used as a reference for the 'Fantasy Figures' female
Dremora texture; the tattoos from AlienSlof's texture where cut out
and modified to create the 'Fantasy Figures' female Dremora
tattoos.

Ren:'Ren's Beauty Pack'http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=4431
Ren's tattooed mystic elf body textures from 'Ren's Beauty Pack'
were used as a reference for the 'Fantasy Figures' female tattooed
Mystic Elf texture; the tattoos from Ren's texture were cut out and
reshaped to fit the 'Fantasy Figures' female tattooed Mystic Elf.

ShadyTradesman:'Improved Argonian Facial Textures'http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=6611
A small piece of ShadyTradesman's high resolution Argonian face
texture from 'Improved Argonian Facial Textures' was initially
used to assist in the building of the Argonian body texture.
