Show off your skins and models!

I told Kiloz how to a few hours ago. The retouch tool.

My New Skin

Please comment it !

Well, Looks like all ya did was some minor editions, like the flag, but it's a good way to start. Try editing the face a bit now, that might be a bit more complex, then try the entire body.

I like the Jaina model. If you are done with her you should also change the icon. they are in replaceable icons/ and usually start with BTNblabla.tga

about retouching.. in photoshop you can use the sponge to desaturate the color out.. you can use a light air brush to change the color, then you can resaturate only where you want the color to sho more.

you can also use the dodge tool to brighten an area, and burn to darken..

i just made my first skin ever! (thx pencilgod for that helpful guide!)

its not that much but i think its good for a bigginner, tell me what you think it would mean alot...

hmm..with everything I used to try and open the tichondrius.tga, it said it was an unsupported compression...

perhaps convert it into a jpeg or something?

that usupported compression thing,

i posted this whithout openning it whith the extractor.

work fine for me. I use ACD See 4.0.

ya.. worked with Lviewpro.. :P

He should import this into a map and take a screeny of the hero using the skin tho.. just for future attempts.. or save as jpg.

I get errors when trying to open it. This is with PaintShop Pro 7 and Photoshop 5.
EDIT: For viewing on the forum it makes life a lot easier if you upload it as a jpg, png or gif, I recommend jpg for most posting requirements.

Well I'd love to give credit where credit is due.. I think it was Nub who made the Ice infernal. But as he states in his tutorial.. all it is, is a color change in the mdx. Well, Using that knowledge I figured I'd try out my mdx editing skills.

After going through his tutorial completely and after completing my new infernal.. I'm glad to say that "Woohoo! I understand how to hex edit models.. and use all the programs well enough to do what I want" :D

So Since I wasn't going to make a practical model with this "practice" I went with MasterSlowPoke's idea of making the dern thing PINK! (he made pink orcs y'know)

And, without further adue.. the Pink Infernal :eek: with and without the half transparancy.. I dunno, with my pink skin I kinda like it without the transparancy. ;)



Thx Nub. The only thing I'm sketchy on (I guessed) is:

Is the colors in red/green/blue as a % of 255. I saw that they were between 0 and 1.. that was my only guess.. seemed to work. Took two guesses but I think that's it. :p

Jup that is it, they are % of 255 rgb values =)

Anyway, I recommend using mdx=>mdl converter and then edit mdl with the hand, is waay faster and easier

Just who I wanted to talk to...

I was trying to reproduce the ice "burning" archer.. can't do it for the life of me..

I'm using Yobgul's converter now btw. much easier. I took a shot in the dark and changed the clouds8x8.blp to textures/snowflake.blp.. and changed all color instances in to what I thought would be that nice blue..

ended up getting squares of what looked like the fire graphic. Kinda like.. the fire graphic without alpha channels.. and it was whitish.. guess the %'s arn't exact.. Anyway.. Still can't get that ice archer to work.. could you toss me the mdx, cause it wasn't in the pack.

=======

Actually, I can get it to be a nice blue flame.. but I'd still like to know how to get the snowflakes instead :p

Also, I realized the rgb %'s.. are actually bgr %'s.. :P I kept wondering why my cool blue color came out as firey orange.

my bad, totally forgot to add it, should attach it as a mdx now (I forgot to make protrait, ill make it prolly later)

Yet another skin, not a Dune one, for a change. I'm planning to do a small skinned version of my old In pursuit of greed map, and fix some things in the map too. So here's the first skin, it's Aldus Kaden, the mooman (in the original pic he's the cow that's holding that chicks a$$)



/EDIT: His weapon is a bazooka.
