Here is the first item for the next set: Altar set 5 - Spirit. (many thank yous to the person who voted at the end and broke the tie 💗) This is a conversion of an item from Legends of Zelda: Link's Awakening. I've made custom bump and specular maps. The image texture has not yet been upscaled. And as you can see in the in game pic, the item looks a little large. So I will size it down a little as well, and then add some more swatches. I thought about making another version of it too, that will sit upright for going onto shelves. I've been looking forward to completing the altar set series ("completing" 😄 I will always love to make any altar item suggestions anytime) with a set for each magical element. Like usual, I will post more WIP images here for anyone interested in the progress!
I hope everyone is having a nice weekend!
Update (Sunday evening CET): Added more swatches to the book, fixed the size, and made an second upright version (shown above.) I'm working on this item that is a captured spirit from Smash Brothers Brawl. I'm having an issue with the spirit inside the cloche, not showing the translucency that I'm telling it too in the image editor. I'm going to have to mess with it more and see how to fix it. I tried one thing, but as you can see in the image above, all it did was make it really bright and solid. I'll fix it somehow, though.
Update (continued): Added 2 glass bottles, one empty and one with a written spell inside! They can be up or down sized with the keyboard.
Update (continued): Added wood slice trivets with 2 different sizes. Both are slotted. Also made a skeleton key, and fixed the translucency issue with the spirit inside the captured spirit jar item.
Update (continued): Upscaled the book image, see how crisp it looks now! Added a version of the jar with the key inside of it, and made a vase out of the jar and put a flower in it. Blue flowers like the Himalayan Blue Poppy are used to increase psychic skills. (as you can see above, there is a little mapping issue with the cork on the key jar, so I will fix that). I'm having fun with these jars, if there's anything you want in a jar, let me know! ✨🫙⚡️
Update (very early Monday morning): Added a key wall necklace with 4 different color keys.
Update (Monday afternoon): Added a moon statuette with lots of recolors! This one needed some remapping, it now has a pretty ornamental detail on the bottom. I put all of the key necklace swatches onto the wall for previews!
Update (continued): Added a pedestal to place anything you want onto, it is slotted. A brass jar, and a tarot card display for adding one tarot card to your altar, for spellwork or your card pull of the day.
Update (continued): I'm going to have to take a break for tonight on the last item I'm working on. It's doing something weird in game and I need to figure out the issue, I will update with images to show what I am referring to. I've been messing with it for awhile now, but I'm in pain so I'm losing the ability to concentrate. I will finish this item tomorrow and get the set posted. If I can't figure out why it's doing what it is doing, I will find a way around it. 20 items in total. I hope everyone is having a good night.
Update (Tuesday evening): I have been remaking this love letter on the stand with different bases for hours now, and I finally have gotten it to work! 🥳 I will get swatch images and get this posted in just a little while 💗
