Darth_Sapiens Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 Hi guys, I decided I'm going to make a new skin similar to this mod. but instead of just re-coloring vanilla textures, I'm going to take a more varied approach. Here is what I have so far:
Zhaboka Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 Nice! The back looks really good, but the front could use more fabric-like details.
Darth_Sapiens Posted November 7, 2012 Author Posted November 7, 2012 @mod: can you please fix my threads name? (it's jedi not jeid lol) @everyone else: thanks for the input, ill have new shots up this evening.
Sith Holocron Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 @mod: Can you please fix my thread's name? (It's Jedi not Jeid. lol) Way ahead of you.
Zhaboka Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Nice! The detail looks very cool, kind of a machine-cloth fusion theme goin' on there.
Nsinger998 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 what Zhaboka said. it has a tor like quality aswell.
Darth_Sapiens Posted November 16, 2012 Author Posted November 16, 2012 i dont like the bicep plates that much so i think either they are going to go or they will be modified depending on how it looks
Darth_Sapiens Posted December 18, 2012 Author Posted December 18, 2012 here is a new one, very happy with it
Darth_Sapiens Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 ty im still working on this mod, i just rotate what i work on so as not to get bored XD
Nsinger998 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Good to know, It would be a shame to not see any more work from you.
Darth_Sapiens Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 LOL yeah . . . some times the hard part when you completely redo skins is getting inspiration. For me, I really like to stick to Star Wars themes for it - so it can be tough. (Though I recently developed several useful photoshop techniques, which allow me to bypass the cursed uvmaps somewhat and "paint" directly on the model.) It does require a modeling tool other than gmax though, you need an obj file. I can find a high res photo take it, cut out the part I want, manipulate it and finally apply it to the model seamlessly. Photoshop also makes it super easy to blend those nasty seams that can occur when you skin. I think I will make a tutorial eventually for it. Anyway,if you see any cool ideas for a skin let me know. Right now I'm trying to have a Prestige-class/Jedi-civil-war/Mandalorian Wars/Jedi vs Sith/TOR feel. Complex but pretty much any cool idea is welcome.
