Custom Content Challenge - November 2023 : The Feywild

The Feywild

The Feywild, or the Plane of Faerie, is a realm of existence characterized by magic, chaos, and change. This plane was first introduced in the fourth edition book The Manual of the Planes, yet it has seen little use until the release of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight module.

This theme was suggested by DM_Wise.

Guidelines:

  • It must be fully working in game.
  • Use of vanilla NWN or publicly available texture is fine. Just remember that NWN textures must have dimensions in powers of 2 (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.).
  • Teamwork is welcome.
  • Beginners most welcome. Don’t be afraid, just try, you’ll be surprised!
  • “Custom Content” includes many sorts of things: models, scripts, prefabs (areas, items, creatures, conversations, quests, etc.), sounds, portraits, or anything else new for the game.
  • All submissions must be finished, working, and emailed to nwvaultccchallenge@gmail.com (or a non-Vault link provided) by the first of the following month. Sooner than that is perfectly fine too. :wink:

Some things you could include in the download/email that would make packaging everything up easier and faster:

  • Any 2da lines needed.
  • Screenshot from in game for use on the Vault page. Formats: .bmp, .jpg, .png, or .tga
  • Portraits (if needed) of your new goody. Placeables and monsters should include a portrait.
  • Inventory icons (if needed) of your new goody.
  • Any credits you would like listed.
  • If this is your first entry, please tell me what name you would like your work listed under and provide a link to your other NWN content if you want that displayed as well (the link bit is totally optional).
  • Remember, the Challenge is all about fun, sharing, creativity, and surprise!

This thread is for all sorts of discussion about this month’s theme: ideas for things to make, questions/concerns, announcement of what you intend to make, screen-shots of work in progress and/or finished projects.

If you want to discuss the Monthly Custom Content Challenge idea as a whole or wish to submit ideas/themes for future monthly Challenges, please post in its thread here -

Custom Content Challenge - Theme Suggestions.

When submitting a new theme, please provide a title and short summary of the theme.

If you have a technical question about some custom content creation, please create a separate thread so that the answers can be found later by anyone, not just people interested in this Challenge.

We’ll try to help!

Have no fear and join the fun!

This sounds like an interesting challenge.
I will start with a LeShay and see where it goes from there.

I’ve no idea what a feywild is and what could be done. This days I made a christmas star (Placeable/Item model) for my module. This doesn’t count, right?

Neither do I :grin:. I don’t have the sourcebook mentioned. So I went online and found this entry on the Forgotten Realms wiki if that helps.

Answer nope, it doesn’t unless it is extremely chaotic :sunglasses:. BTW, noticing the shape of that star, depending on whether it’s 2d or 3d, you might have been able to save yourself some work there. I included that exact same shape for a set of variously coloured 2d placeables in my old package -

Map Mats Ice Sculpture Christmas Card Kit

You were free to grab and just recolour any part of the package if you needed to.

… wait! It’s a most dangerous WEAPON. I’ll try to make a weapon from it.

Doing it by myself is learning, how to handle PnP-3d-modelling. So no shortcut allowed here! I’m not quite satisfied with the texture. It’s gold and should be somewhat more shiny. Maybe I should try to change selfillumcolor parameter? But now the discussion is going a bit off topic …

The Feywild’s basically an expansion on the plane of Faerie from earlier editions. Full of elves, hags, gnomes, fairies, formorians, ogres, cyclops, eladrin, centaurs, nymphs, goblins, firbolg all those sort of things. Generally ruled by the Archfey

(Formorians are entirely what we need more of I personally am biased towards as we kind of only have the one model for 'em at present)

Formorian? I think you don’t talk about “Formians (Ant-Centaurus)”. Didn’t find it in the wiki. However, I can’t do creature models.

Fomorians are this, I think they appear in Icewind Dale, but they are with the Drow there if I’m not mistaken, don’t knew they were meant to be Fey. Only funny looking elves and Nymphs come to my mind with that name.

Update: Retexturing my Corellon model…

and giving him bug/alien eyes…

I will probably delete the weaponry and add more fancy clothes since Leshay are primarily casters.
… and of course I will make a female one too.

I will probably dump a whole bunch of nymphs, dryads and some Seelie Court deities.

Reading about the fey is fun.

Maybe we get some colour variants of Verdi?

  • First,… Verdi is a nice name. That is her name now.
  • Second, I thought I already dropped these (except the nude one, its just my bodybase) I guess this is the perfect challenge to drop them… they will all be in the pack (except the nude one)

Its just black/white + primary colors
I’ll add orange and purple to complete the secondary colors as well.

Just past 1/3 of the way through the month. Anybody else doing anything for the theme?

TR

Not really my vibe, for my part, but if anyone wants a texture or scripting hand I don’t mind!

You will need 2 more names

Easy: Violet and Amber. :slight_smile:
