Is that modded into oblivion?

Well, A good start would be to get us the model and textures. From the Oblivion mod itself.

unless you know the directX format better than me, you're going to need 3ds max

it's fun, but I'm going to tell you now that making armor is probably the third hardest thing you can attempt when modding this game (or the fouth). The hardest being to decode the source code from the exe (which is nearly, if not completely, impossible), and then trying to get new animations into the game, then trying to get character models working in the game.

then trying to get character models working in the game.

I have done this. Wink

The only major problem is the rigging. The xporter import plugin imports the skinweights incorrectly, so it has to be redone.

See if it works with a free proxy site, like HideMyAss.

I wouldn't use Oblivion models for fable, seeing as you would really have to do more work, but if you work things out, this would be a nice addition.

taking models from Oblivion is actually pretty much a piece of cake.

I mean, Oblivion's people are more realistic than Fable's, but I do like Fable characters a little more...

I hope this isn't considered a bump, since the thread is still on the top of the forum lol
Anyway, Archon's Battle Armor would look like Sauron's if colored black (wich can be easily done).
I can recolor it if you want, wouldn't be a problem.
