My last exams are coming up so I have been trying to keep myself offline and studying, but I made some things to blow off steam in the meantime. No time for mesh-hacking and such, so these are just some simple recolours.

First are some small edits of Windkeeper's 'Chinese Windows' set. I like using these in modern houses but they only came in floodfill black, so I manhandled them a bit to be more versatile... Hmm, perhaps I should've made a white recolour too. Oh well.

NOTE: I forgot to include the meshes. Get them here (chinese_windows.rar).

I pasted these on the fence mesh too, which show up as separate items. I believe you will need at least one EP to use custom fences.

Enter the Conduit - Mass Effect 2 paintings

What the picture says. The mesh has a mirror-like effect, so these looks all posh and shiny. Yay shiny! Mesh by blake_boy is included, by the way.

That is it for today. Say, did any of you ever play Neverwinter Nights? I found the music on Youtube and was hit with nostalgia. Shitty graphics, wonderful game - I totally wasted my social life with those games when I was 13-14, haha.

I posted these in the monthly theme thread at GoS, but I'll put them here too. Lazily copy-pasted post, for the most part.

Here are some things for your Asia-enthusiasts, historians, antique collectors or samurai/xiake types. I was going to make more retextures of the various wall scrolls (because I love me some wall scrolls) but ended up ripping things off the walls instead.

I'll list the sections and prices of each item so you know where to look (because if your catalogue is anything like mine I suspect that may take ages otherwise).






These are scroll paintings from early 20th century Chinese artists, snagged from a Hong Kong auction house.
Original item: "Winter Blossoms" Decorative > Wall hangings ($650)


Mangled from a Free Time scroll, remapped and edited and whatnot. (I wondered if I flipped the 3rd one, I honestly can't tell.)
Decorative > Miscellaneous ($100)


Fan: Grr, what's with the transparency there? It looks fine on the .png.
Decorative > Miscellaneous ($100). Original: 'Open-wall wall fan' Decorative > Wall hangings ($3500)

Blades of Masamune: These are Japanese katana, not Chinese dao. I really do want a decorative dao now though :|.
Single blade: Decorative > Miscellaneous ($150). Two blades: Decorative > Miscellaneous ($200)

Masks: These masks are a Japanese tengu mask, Korean drama mask, Chinese opera mask and a Venetian Casanova mask so if you're going for authentic, this isn't it. XD I'm putting it here because I spent too long on the stupid shadow. The polycount is 2296F 1546V, which is quite high for a deco object, but not explosively so.
Decorative > Miscellaneous ($500).


Files are Compressorized, by the way. All of this should be base game compatible.

Ugh, first thing I found today was a dead hedgehog stuck with his face in a McFlurry carton, poor dear. Throw your garbage where it belongs, people!
That said, it's random shit time.
I'm a bit of a history nut (I'm fond of Antiquity in particular), and I needed some more decorations for those pixel people in my game who share the same tastes. I was going to throw these in as a bonus with those wallpapers because they aren't that exciting, but...lazy. They're a bit specific to my game's aesthetics, but I hope someone besides myself might get a use out of them.

These are on a mesh by Pilar (which is included - polycount is 336F 356V for those interested, which is about normal) because even though I made my own mesh (while endlessly bugging Anto with inane questions, sorry bro), I still couldn't get it to look the way I wanted. =_=

Anyway, blah blah blah this is what I've thrown together:


David and Goliath



Ornamental Chinese dragon



Early modern European scene



Three Sassanian plates
The Sasanid Empire was the pinnacle of ancient Persian civilization in late Antiquity.
