No point in cleaning, there's the same amount of spam in this thread as there is any other day of the year.

Chad, I love the skin - so much atmosphere.

well, I scrapped my last skin idea in favor for another skin/mod that I thought of a while back. This is an early WIP of the skin. Please leave feedback...

More. Click for larger pictures (but not "high res"). I was messing around with my new stitching app, and got too lazy to not use the "auto high res" function with Yelo. Not the image quality I want, but they're better than the small pictures.

I'm pretty close now...

Vehicle skins or die...

As for the skin feedback for other person (cbf to check

<3), its just a lightmap change?

Don't worry, the GEE, I'll skin everything

No worries.

They'll not be extreme skins by any means... just a little something to make them all look cold. I like the cold.

You would have so won, Chad.

It's a shame neither of us managed to complete our entries.

No, every texture is skinned. No lightmap changes at all. Remember, thats what we thought of your sunset skin

And Chad would have won that competition, no possibility of losing.

Well no offence, yours have an extreme resemblance to the original counter parts...So much as that your idea of skinning means to add the sun photo filter onto each texture to make them orange in appearance... Especially the cliff texture...

My sunset skin did not have radically different textures but at least it was possible to discern them from the original textures...

But yes I don't mean to be rude but thats how I see it...However only once I get my dirty little mittens on it will I be able to check.

The cliff texture is a placeholder at the moment, and all other textures have been modified extensively. Im sure once you get those mittens on it you'll be happy to find that these are completely new.

I definitely need to get you a cliff texture.

Chad, ImageShack is slow already- hi-res PNGs and ImageShack makes for painful load times. I'd suggest a new image host and saving as very high quality JPEGs. It won't look quite as good as a PNG, but it'll be difficult to notice unless you reuse the JPEG and recompress it or resize it. I always keep a local PNG copy of my images and then a compressed JPEG for web use.

Any chance of some subtle weapon skins to go with the vehicles?

theycallmechad · Post by **theycallmechad** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 11:16 am

Yes, there's a chance...
I'll not be making major changes with them, but I will make them look like they've been out in the fridgid cold for a while.

I have a LOT yet to to. I've only so far finished the ghost...

It's a great picture up to the part where it says how many kills you have. Post "photographs" here, not snapshots. It's not the "post your amazing screens from your ownage" thread.
