before i get too deep into anything, can anyone tell me how complicated this would be? i have little to no modeling experience.

i wanted to make an RPG based of the wheel of time series, the first book. i would like to make/get some custom models for the main charaters.

here's what i want to do:

make rand: a peasant with a blademaster's sword. animations? probably arthas w/ frostmourne.

make perrin: another peasant with a large axe of some sort. whatever animations the axe came from.

make mat: a peasant with a bow, archer animation.

others:
make master luthan: peasant with a hammer
lan: probably just use a paladin
moraine: probably just use jaina, though i would like to remove the hood, and a skirt would be better...not sure what to do.

anyways, this seems like an awful lot. if it is someone tell me, cause i've been trying to get things to work for quite awhile now, and i haven't gotten anyways.

also, if anyone reading this is incredibly bored and has nothing better to do, and wants to make some of these models, i'd be incredibly grateful.

or, if anyone knows where i can get models like these, ie, already made by someone, please tell me.

I think that would be difficult considering inexperience but maybe some could be done with model attaching. A well done Wheel of Time scenario would be really great.

i have it pretty much planned out for the first half of the book.
i mean as i read eye of the world, it was easy to see 'quests' popping up. like one in the beginning after an intro, w/ rand and tam having to protect the wagon with the ale going to town from wolves. simple. rand and tam use bows at the beginning. then a little bit of story. then trollocs attack, you have to get tam back to town, but you get a sword, which ups attack etc... it would work very well, IMO, but i'm not experienced enough to make the models. custom skills would be fun too.

"carai an caldazar! carai an ellisande! an ellisande"

lol, skill called 'carai an ellisande'. aura or buff. or 'carai an caldazar' one defensive one offensive.

and jordan names all of the sword stances. so it would be easy to pull some skill names from that, and also weaves, like balefire. definetely clvl 6. lol. probably have clvl up to 100. so more like 80. and not in this map.

Definately sounds like a good idea and you seem to have planned it out well. There are a few free models you could probably use for swords and such.

Many characters could be done as reskins and I can think of some free models you could use for characters and such.

The Princess model could probably be used for Morriane as it's like Jaina but without the hood (Jaina + High Elf peasant geoset merge).

Other then that I'd have to think.
