Helter Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 My first retexturing. I thought I had becom a modder, but after some research I discovered I have become a retexturer. Some pics. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_23.jpg Vampire Eyes http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_26.jpg Up-close. I don't know why the tattoo looks like its bleeding. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_15.jpg Eyes are glayzed over http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_11.jpg Many thanks to you modders for inspiration.

Achilles Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Looks pretty good! I can't see the first picture too well, but it looks like something I would actually use (sorry Colja, looks like you've got some competition). Just out of curiosity, what does it look like with a darker red for the tattoo? Can't wait to download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helter Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 I've just done some research and found out what I did is a re-color. Still, I try. I just recolored the tattoo using the same red, but a different photoshop mode. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_27.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_28.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_29.jpg Competition for Colja? I think not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking darker instead of brighter. That's a really sharp contrast with the dark color of the armor. Thanks for posting the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helter Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 Okay. This time I used a color called pure red. Darker Red is looking more brown than red. I'll keep trying though. Gotta learn somehow. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_34.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_33.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_35.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_36.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 In my personal opinion, I like the first version the best so far, the last two look like the tattoo is protruding out of his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helter Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 Originally posted by Achillies errrr....I can't tell that there's a difference: One is less bright. When you say Darker red, Do you mean red like the NFL's Redskins. Okay I just re-colored the Tattoo. I'll be back. edit: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_37.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Buthros/My%20Mods/NewEvilMalak_38.jpg This is an early attempt at the same re-color.

Okay I just re-colored the Tattoo. I'll be back. Uhhh...dunno...don't watch sports. Let me google it. Yeah, kinda. That color but lighter (not to be confused with brighter). Malak's original tattoo is so subtle that most people tend to overcompensate with color when reskining him. My own personal thing though. Don't workself silly on my account.

Helter Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 No problem. I'm stopping for the night. Probably gonna learn other tutorials so I can be a modder. I still have much to learn on Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nacho35 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 You know I always thought Malak looked queer in that half-cape thing and I still do! However, I really like the color scheme you changed it to. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 The latest one is better than the other two, but as a personal preference I still like the first one the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svösh Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Helter good work and btw your are modding don’t get discouraged, technically this is re colouring because the texture is still the same all though it’s now grey you still see the mummy wrap on his body. Any ways the only thing I would change is there is a line going down the center of the head in gray. It’s only a pixel or two big so it’s really easy to fix with any of you painting tool’s hold down the Alt key and click the white part of his head to pick the exact same colour now use a 3 pixel size soft brush zoom in Ctrl + space bar + left click to zoom in, Ctrl + space bar + alt + left click to zoom out and paint a tiny area I would use a polygon selection so I don’t paint out side of it hit L on the keyboard to get the lasso if it ‘s icon is rounded hit shift to change to the polygon version click once and start tracing the line between the head and the jaw in the tga it’s just a micro space but to avoid overlapping your colour or bleeding. Paint… hit ctrl + D to deselect the selection then resave and test. svösh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingerhs Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Originally posted by Achillies Uhhh...dunno...don't watch sports. Let me google it. YOU DON'T WATCH SPORTS!!!????!!!! oh well, when it comes to moddin, sports doesn't matter a bit (unless its madden ). helter, i'd have to a agree with achillies on the tatoo color. just add a bit more red to the maroon color (redskin color), and it'll look really good (which i think is what he said). by the way, if you are modifying anything in a game from its original context, you are a modder. so don't get technical with the 'retexturer' and 'reskinner' terms. besides, if they make you feel second rate to the 'modder' term, don't use them. Edit: i meant helter the first time. sorry for the confusion. neeeeed sleeeeeeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nacho35 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Did you choose a favorite head? I like the first one. The darker red looks a little too bright for me, but this is your mod/retexture. I suck at Photoshop so don't mess with re-texturing very much. (I am slowly learning by editing my digital pictures!) I would suggest you use whatever color you like the best.

Achilles Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Originally posted by nacho35 I would suggest you use whatever color you like the best. Agreed. You seem open to feedback, which is good, but ultimately this is your mod and you need to be happy with it regardless of what others have to say about it. Nice work thus far.

Achilles Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Originally posted by Darth_ToMeR Too colorful for sith lord. Huh? It's black and red...the same colors that he was before, but he reversed them. Changing the skin to be mostly black seems pretty reasonable to me, but that's just my opinion.

Helter Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 Wow. Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback pro and con. I asked what you guys thought and for waht changes because i wanted to see if I can do it. It was sort of as a quiz for me. So thanks for your help. Currently, I'm trying to learn what the various parts of the tga texture. I'm also trying to learn what the names like N_DarthMalak01 and N_CaloNord01 represent. To user Glamador, I don't know how to give you the cape alone. I did a re-color to N_DarthMalak01.tga using Photoshop. Guess I can post the whole thing. I just have to figure out how. You guys really want this? I haven't yet found the file where Malak is shown jawless so I guess I'm not done yet. Soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
