Hmm, DooFi's version has much more scratches and dirt applied to his skin, that make it look much more realistic ingame. That why I prefer his version.

This is pretty much my first official Star Wars character skin.

I'll add his beatupness later.

I hate it when people don't read before they post.

Here's a more beat up version...

...but I really don't think I like it that much. It doesn't have that nice smooth "I was grazed by some lasers" look. But tell me what you guys think.

To be honest I don't really like DooFi's really dirty version. Too messy for me.

DooFi · Post by **DooFi** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 7:07 pm

hmm that one looks fairly nice. I'd like to see an ingame screenshot of it.
My dirty version was originally supposed to be a sniper who's creeping through the swamps of naboo (okay pretty dumb to wear red armor then xD). Thats why he looks more mucky than burnt. Yours would be ideal for dead bodies and the like if you added some laser-holes. Well done!

Karnage · Post by **Karnage** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 9:51 pm

Actually, it looks a whole lot nicer than I thought it would.

I'd like to see doofi's ingame as well. You can always mix up skins to give small variation to armour patterns. These were done by clones, not machines. Meaning imperfections and differences can be expected. Their issued armour is white. (I hope no one comes along to tell me I'm wrong, as I am just going of memory + assumption + wookieepedia)..

Hmm, Karnage, I agree, that doesn't at all have the 'grazed by laser' look.
...
It has the 'run over by a tank' look

I like it. Alot.

(Yours are great too DooFi, just everyone expects that of you

)

As you see, this is NOT the final version. I was too lazy to fire up SWBF and take screens myself, so i took this one. Majin sent it to me while i was still working on it, to see what has to be improved and whether it mirrors correctly and so on...

btw karnage, i'd change the dirt under the visor, since it looks really weird thanks to the mirror lol. As if he did not have enough sleep xD

Karnage · Post by **Karnage** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 11:56 pm

Lol! Thanks Bac-Talan....I think.

Of course that was a compliment Karnage

These tank pilots seem to need to work on their driving. lol

DooFi: I can see where your skins are different. The colors seem darker in the updated versions, although still maybe a tad too light.
Dunno, just personal preference

Linus, good luck with the mod, although it seems very ambitious.

Linus, good luck with the mod, although it seems very ambitious.

Yes, that's why we need much help. By the way, I have Photoshop now, so I'll do some cool skins today... *No more newbie-textures, yes !...*

Post Sriptum : Master' told me that the Mygeeto-level is going good. I think he'll be able to post some screenshots today, but I am not 100% sure...

Nice. Photoshop is cool.
But so is Gimp, and you can do alot of really cool stuff in it. (not quite so sure about paint, lol)
I ONLY use Gimp, and as I find more about it, I ONLY WANT to use Gimp.
And personally, I don't feel my work is that much of newbie stuff.

Now I know you weren't even talking about my stuff, much less making deragatory (spelling? I hate spelling

) comments about them, but I just wanted to sort of stress that it's all about making due with what you have and learning to use it!

Although I do admit photoshop is pretty cool.
Anyway, enough of my ranting, I'm looking forward to seeing your

(And I'm not saying anything bad about you, I'm rather saying that I don't feel that your skins were bad in the first place, you were just learning. And also that while tools help, it's still all about the artist.

Uhm, whatever, dude!

Looking good guys!

Thanks for letting me join the team. Since you don't seem to be doing the maps in proper order, I have no idea where to start when it comes to modelling/odfs/effects. PM me or just tell me here what I need to do.

You know, all he's done is add a simple filter on it.

This is just a personal preference thing really, but could we sharpen the skins for this mod? By that I mean enlarging the image --> sharpening the image --> resizing back to 512x512 (or whatever it was in the first place). If done properly, sharpening the skins always makes them look ten times better.

Awesome work, I really like the way you made the scratches in the armour. Can I make one suggestion? Assuming you have a previous version, could you get rid of some of those soot marks? They really don't look the part. Looking at the reference pictures, they only belong on the boots, and the rest of the black bits (scorch marks) are small and not much larger than scratches. Try adding them on instead.

linus, in the past i've made a clone assassin skin from the revenge of the sith game.
unfortunatley my computer had a bug and my files got wiped off. i would like to ask if i made this skin would you accept it in the mod? here is the screenshot of the clone from wikipedia. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Cl ... ssin1b.png

Linus · Post by **Linus** » Sat Nov 04, 2006 7:36 am

Well, we could use it as a Special Unit in some maps... I'll ask Master'.

delta_602 · Post by **delta_602** » Sat Nov 04, 2006 7:39 am

master' is a friend of me (i think) and i gave my skin to him but he lost it to

he asked me to give it to him again but i thought maybe i should ask linus.
but as for the moment that there are to yesses i'll try to make it again.
