About this image

This is part of a larger mod I'm working on. The guitar will be two handed (based on a great sword since the diagonal back mount seemed most suited to a guitar). I had some issues with it, including a bizarre situation with a mysterious green texture on the neck. No texture was green; no specular highlight was green. Nothing. @_X It was one of the simplest shapes in the overall mesh! Finally I resorted to fusing the neck to the bottom piece of the guitar, and whala! Problem solved. Maybe it was a hiccup with the NIF export?

Then there was the distance on the back that the guitar sat. For some outfits/armors it was fine. I discovered a setting to control that, but it's per armor. So if there's something you use where the guitar is too close, then you can set it in the CK for that armor (1.5 worked for me), and good to go. The Vanilla armors seemed fine.

Hand clipping, however, . . . I can't do anything about. The neck is as thin as I could make it (wider than normal--not by much--but also much thinner). The neck is also angled--not straight, so that didn't help.

There's more to the mod. Almost done modeling. Almost . . . Then I'll upload it. I don't plan on any enchantments this time around (at least to start) so that will hasten the finish a bit.

So . . . Coming soon! Hopefully . . . =P

    Hi denki - I was looking for something like this for an idea I had (image set). I've since forgotten what the idea was, but I'm still looking forward to this mod. Especially if it's part of a larger mod on the same theme - any hints?

      If you were a performer on stage, what else might you need in addition to a guitar--which all of course could also be used in combat. =P That's my hint. Otherwise, all shall be revealed very soon. Hopefully... A prop version of one of the other "objects" is giving me grief. T_T

      ** EDIT **

      Just wanted to add--don't expect a whole band ensemble. Don't want to be tarred and feather over disappointment. Can't wait to see your new image set--whatever it might be.

      ** EDIT 2**

      Problem solved! Just going to have to use some "care" in placement of this item in the world space. :O

    everytime i see something like that i'm asking myself "Why are people doing such cruel things to skyrim." the guitar is great by the way but wrong game to fit in for me xD

      I'm on my third time through Skyrim. The first two times was "by the book." But this time . . . Skyrim is more of a big virtual playground for me. =P Feel free to avert your eyes!

      P.S. Could I convince you of a time traveling bard? Err... Didn't think so. *moseys on off*
