L2.0 Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Well for starters: I have never tried skinning before. I have never used Image/Design programs before. I have no technical knowledge on these things. There, now that that's out of the way... This is my first ever attempt at making a skin. Yes, it is another repaint. I figured I might as well try a repaint before I dive in head first into uncharted territory. I noticed when playing JO that there really isn't a "generic" Jedi in the game. Sure, you got yer Jedi and Jedi trainers, but they don't look or feel all that Jedi to me. And I needed a hood damn it. So here is some pics from the first version of my skin, please be honest when you look at it, I'm a big boy and old enough to deal with criticism. Well, thanks for taking the time to read this and check my skin out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyNet Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Cool. Looks like hes from a waste land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2.0 Posted April 12, 2002 Author Share Posted April 12, 2002 Yeah, he kinda felt like that to me also. Since I've changed the colour of his torso and arms a great deal, hopefully enough to pull of that "Jedi" feel. Oh well, I'll try to get some more shots posted shortly. EDIT: This bot actually does look alot better than the pics. I play on a 350Mhz, so all my details and graphics and features are on low... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roach604 Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 frankly? boring, blurry, and no good details. But hey, I'm new to this JO skinning dealie too, so no worries there. Once exams finish and I can get going, you can point and laught at my work fair enough? we can learn together I have a slight advantage though, in that I've done some skinning before for the halflife engine. Quite a leap from HL to Q3 engine, though... the freedom is exhaustive. I mean, my god, SHADERS? I have no frickin' idea about those. EYES AND MOUTHS? yeesh.

SEPtIc cHiLD Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 yeah not bad man, got a question though..how do ya take in-game screenshots of you're skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truthful Liar Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Septlic - To take screenshots, just go into your console and type: /bind x screenshot that will make whatever key you chose as 'x' and when you hit that button a screenshot will be made and placed into your Gamedata/base/screenshots folder. Cheers (PS: having your camera at different angles and different hieght is a different question and requires more explaining - if you want to know about how to take screenshots of your character from the front, side, etc... feel free to ask) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEPtIc cHiLD Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 yeah soz I should have said, I know how to take a basic screeny, it's the camera angle frontal shot thing that puzzles me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2.0 Posted April 13, 2002 Author Share Posted April 13, 2002 Okay, I updated the 3 pictures above with the newer version, had a friend take them for me in high detail. And he's one more just for ****s-n-giggles. And I can't remember, but I think the console code is cg_thirdpersonangle, or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L2.0 Posted April 14, 2002 Author Share Posted April 14, 2002 Looks pretty good there brother, can't wait to see it coloured. One question though: What are the symbols? They don't look like anything Jedi to me, and was curious what they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_Mother Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 erm ... colors you say ? The pictures are heavily compressed and so the real texture cannot be seen. well sure it still needs improvement but my heart tells me to leave this thing like it is and to answer your question: It is some kind of tribal symbol I found in a book full of such nice pics .. [edit] My first intention was to make sth desert-looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_Mother Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 *bump* so well which colors may fit to my skin ? I'm still not shure how to use him .. where may he live etc. Maybe you others have some ideas cat_mom [edit] for all of you who want my skin download it _here_ and i dont mind if you use it for your own pleasure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
