my first file post to show yall my first successful attempt at a good warthog skin. I love this color! RED, sorry I would put pictures up but I dont know how to compress them. No it is not finished as you can tell by the gun turret not being red but the color was originally just meant for the warthog anyway. I will do a gun turret color later. I am working on pitch black right now, and will release it soon, at least the first version of it.
Let me know what you think about the color. I plan to make more skins later, not just color.
Long description because I don't have pictures.
BTW, it is for BG.

well, i have done a candy apple red skin and a pitch black skin, but all i had to do was adjust a couple things in PS, it took me about 2 min (adjust color values). I don't know if the skin you posted has any decals on it or anything, but otherwise (no offense) but it is pretty easy to do if you have PS. But other than that (i don't want to flame) i guess it's ok for your first file post.

sorry
sorry about my lameness but I know nothing about using photoshop. I have never ever used it until I learned how to skin. Thanks for the feed back but that really sucks that you can't give me the chance to improve, especially from the fact I have no experience in doing this, you may not either but I have just barely begun. Also did you try it? And, did you find the "hidden" skin in there? Also if you open it up in hmt to view the warthog, you might notice that just the parts that are the warthog are red, unlike just filling the whole image I first went around the edges and made a template to color. It turned out perfectly as if the warthog were originally red, even the lines and discolorations. No I am not saying it is the coolest skin to come but just wait and see what is to come. You might like it better.
Sorry, i wasn't saying i hated it or anything, and yes, PS does that stuff (outlining) for you. it only changes the values of a certain color, say the warthog green (you don't have to do it by hand or fill the whole image with red) but yea, i wasn't dissing your skin at all 
and yea i hope to see what you can do with skins. 
i didn't mean to flame or say your skin sucked (and i don't think i did) i also didn't mean to say you couldn't do anything good (lol) and yea i am sure you will do better later.

thanks
well I apologize if I misunderstood you, thank you for your encouragement. I dont know how to outline the image in PS automatically. I did it all by hand, I just outlined the hood, the side, and the backend, and the meterbox (that is ontop of the hood). I may be asking to much but how do you get PS to outline it for you?
Also, I was wondering if it were possible to add working lights to the warthog? I tried to add the orange ones on the front of the hog, like the front cover of halo. But they didn't glow, they were just color. I even edited the multipurpose map, but I think that just made the color brighter.

It would be pretty cool to have a red warthog for the red base and a blue warthog for the blue base.... Is that even possible tho?
It wouldnt really make a difference because obviously someone on the blue team could drive a red warthog, but it would be cool saying "Lets take our warthog!" or "Steal their warthog!"

Yes, this is possible, you would just have to take over one of the other vehicles, which isn't that bad if you only use warthogs. And to outline things in photoshop (you don't outline it) (i don't have photoshop anymore so bear with me) you go to some thing like images -> color values or something and mess with them, you can take the little eyedropper while in the color values menu, put the eye dropper on the warthogs green, and change the values of the green color to those of the red. If you want me to put 2 warthogs with different colors in any level, just ask, i will do it and it should only take about 5 min. PS - you would also have to tell me what vehicle you want the second warthog to replace.

I doubt that would/could happen but it could be neat-o. Make it as though each warthog were technically a flag. Move the flag stands to the far corners of the map then you'd have to steal the opposing teams warthog and drive it the full distance back to score. Oh well, it sounded good in my head for a second or two.KWJK wrote:It would be pretty cool to have a red warthog for the red base and a blue warthog for the blue base.... Is that even possible tho?

meh
Yeah those are great ideas, I could do the same. I liked the last post "capture the warthog" that sounds funny.
hey
did anybody find the hidden skin or are you still searching?
If you want a hint I will tell you one.
You might get mad when you first see it. -and-
Most loser noobs usually take it alot.

nope
nope, i cant say much more with out pretty much giving it away
meh
well if you guys can't find it or even if you found it and don't care to post about it I will give you some more hints to find it.
You almost never look at it.
It is not a weapon.
You should be able to figure it out now.

hey
it is something that I skinned and I forgot to take out before I made the patch. no one has found it yet I guess, oh well check out pitch black.
yo
its the health pack
Re: hey
I totally forgot to look for anything hidden. I applied your skin to the DrivingBG (whatever it's called) level from UM's NMP mod. It added just the right zing considering that the warthogs are now faster and can jump. I'll have to take a gander tonight.powerpak wrote:it is something that I skinned and I forgot to take out before I made the patch. no one has found it yet I guess, oh well check out pitch black.
