TriggerGod Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hey, looking nice LR. I can't wait to see this mod in action ( well, at KOTOR Files ) and, I can't wait to see if you make a TSL Version (if you do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmm78 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 they all look great Any way to keep the clothing look when you put armor/robes on her, like the red Underlay from red robes the blue from blue robes etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRevan999 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 @#29 I am sorry but I am not able to understand what you mean. @#31 If I am guessing right then you should know that I am not making these variants only reskins these will be wearable as new items.So basically I am not replacing the original clothes of bastilla.

Sorry. What I would like is the non tan-brown areas to be a forest green color and the texture to be solid like the circled area on her right breast.

Arátoeldar Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Sorry I haven't been clear enough. I'd like all of the green areas of her clothing to look like her right arm (left as you are looking at it) expect more natural (the shading, ex cetera). I hope this helps.

redrob41 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Alright LR999, you asked me to check out your clothing variants, and I'm gonna try to pass on a few of my tricks for you . I like that you've got so much enthusiasm and energy to make some mods. With a few new tricks, your skins will be stellar. First up, in the arms and legs where you have replaced the simple tan for some really cool textures: right now they look kinda flat. Usually what I do is to copy the original folds, shadows & highlights onto a new photoshop layer. Then I desaturate it to grey, and change the layer to multiply or overlay. Then I adjust the levels of that shadow layer, so that there is more contrast (move the dark and light sliders towards the center). This will retain the 3D look on those areas. http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq351/redrob41/Tut-Bastila-1.jpg. Some of the textures you've used are really cool. The ones that work the best are the earthy tones and the neutral greys (like the chain mail), because they are analogous to the warm (red-ish) brown leather. The bright colours don't work as well (the greens especially) because they compete with the leather (which is more subdued). One way to fix this is to change the leather from a red-ish colour to a matching colour (like the green). Second, I almost never use the Hue/Saturation feature to change the colour of something. It tends to make the texture look like plastic, with very little variation in colour. Instead, I like to use the Match Color adjustment. The easiest way is to use it is to have the area you want to change the color of, on its own layer. Then have another photo open in photoshop that you want to change the colour to, and put a selection marquee (marching ants) around the area you want to use. In the first image, select the layer you want to change, open the Match Color, and play with the sliders. http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq351/redrob41/Tut-Bastila-2.jpg. I think that this usually gives you some fairly natural results. Another way to change colour is to use the Layer Adjustment-> Color Balance because you can change the highlights separately from the shadows. http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq351/redrob41/Tut-Bastila-3.jpg. With these two re-colouring methods, I usually avoid the plastic look, and keep more colour variation in the details. Third, what I do when I want to make an area look like skin, is either draw the highlights and shadows of the muscles myself, or copy them from one of the underwear textures. You could probably do this for Bastila's stomach and legs, but her arms are a little too blocky (puffy sleaves). I do like how you put the fishnets on them though. I hope these 3 tricks help you out. The best thing to do is play around and try new things. I've got a lot of faith in you LR999, you'll put out some really great variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthMelissa Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Good advice redrob! Lr, try a lighter purple for the robe with no undegarment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrob41 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 LordRevan999 asked me to make a more detailed tutorial. While I'm doing that, here are some general tutorials about the Match Color adjustment that I found on the web. The first 3 are video, and the last link is text & image. Fairly detailed: http://www.photoshopsupport.com/tutorials/tt-cs2/match-color-tutorial.html This one is short: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/854726/photoshop_match_color_simple_and_amazing_results/ I never used it this way before, but it works: This is just a neat idea: http://www.unfocusedbrain.com/projects/match_color/ I'll work on a tutorial that specificly uses KotOR images. Hopefully it'll be ready in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRevan999 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 RedRob41 the first links give me a download link but it gives server error hence no video.The second one it gets open but the movie doesn't load and plays from 0:00 to 0:00 and ends.The third one well load shedding doesn't allow me to see full of it.Fourth one gave me some good ideas.Btw,when shadow and highlighting should I use it on the new textures I made or on the original clothing's copied layers,confused please help.

redrob41 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I've started making a tutorial. You can view it here. So far I've got the Shadows & Highlights explained, and I'll add more tricks to it in the future. I hope it is easy enough to follow, and I hope it helps.
