My first skin i need suggestions

well this is my first skin . Its somewhat based off of the main bad guy in myth 2 soulblighter. this isn't exactly like soulblighter , for one he doesnt have a giant necklace like the blade master...and a beard for that.

but i tried using oinkers vertex modifier to change some things on the model like no flag and the face, and elongating the blade to make it look like a lance type weapon

anyway this is a skin for that model, but its not complete, i still need suggestions for the things on the side of the blade master(the square plates), i dont know what to put there...and any other comments would help. thx

:god_help_us:

well, that uvm looks nice so far, but you should realy show how the skin looks on the model.

good luck with your skinning

thx reaper.... well here are some pics of the skin on the model

i still can't get his eyes to go completely with out a pupil, i want his eyes to be completely one color. how do i do that? on the skin it seems like i color over the eyes, but in game the pupils still appear =/ ...

and what to do with the laquered plates(i think thats what they are called) on the side of his hips, i still dont know what to do with those =) , any ideas would be great , im thinking of just completly removing them but i really like them.

hmm, the pics i posted seem to turn grey for me, but the model doesnt really look like that,

the thumbnail seems to be fine , it has color there but when i click on it , it gives me a grey verision of it :o ...


im not sure how to fix this , but the color of the skin is in the first post,, i will see if i can fix the pic..


if anyone else gets a grey screen shot let me know, cause im not sure if its just me.

details good.

needs more depth. they look like lines, not muscles.

try dodging/burning some.

wow thats fuggin good for a first skin. good enough that im not sure if i can really give any suggestions for improvement lol..

hey thx uberfoop. although i know there is always room for improvement =) ....for one i still dont know what to do with the plates on his sides ... but im currently working on it...


it took me a while to do this skin, time constraints and such. im also working on a vampire hunter d model and skin ill post a pic up as soon as i have a semi complete skin and model.


ps. anyone know how to make eyes completly one color? i want to make his eyes like a pale yellow but the pupil always appears =/

Switch to Alpha Channels and alpha the pupil out...

the skin's nice on the model, thos I agree with flames, it looks as tho it's a statue o_O
try doing a little better lightings on thos muscles.

i agree with both of u guys , im currently fixing that . ill post a revised version soon...

umm about the alpha channel thingy, i tried doing that, and switched to the alpha channels, and i thought i found the eye ball, alphaed it out, ( i thought it was right next to the earing for the blademaster, the alpha channels has only the pants , earing, plates on the hips, flag and thats pretty much it.)

but i tried it and still in game it doesnt look like it works, now the eye ball is brown(color of the skin) , and it still has a pupil , what am i doing wrong ?


sorry guys im a bit new at this so i dont understand the tools entirely.


one more thing, in game the skin looks a little more pale than it does in WE, is there any way to fix this, or does this mean i should just make my skin darker ?

ps . thx for the feedback guys
