Nightwing-WIP

Heya, I got a question, I attached the model with the skin and next to it the unwrapped version.

You can see the wrapped version got yellow parts, but I do not have any of them in the unwrapped version, what is the problem, how can I change that.

I already checked it out, it's the area around the teamcolor.

I hope you can help me with this, in addition any critic is helpful.

Ya I have tried skinning this once a little while back. It goes to show how stupid blizz can be sometimes. The skin for this has 2 paths: units\Human\BloodElfDragonHawk\BloodElfDragonhawk.blp and units\Human\BloodElfDragonHawk\Dragonhawk.blp
Oh and by the way if anyone wants the noncrappy skin it is in one of those paths. The skin was orriginally a more metal color but it was for a bloodelf... so it had to be red and they were to lazy to reskin the armor to make it red and just changed the colors really badly.

So I've to remap both textures ?

units\Human\BloodElfDragonHawk\BloodElfDragonhawk.blp
units\Human\BloodElfDragonHawk\Dragonhawk.blp

Ok, I got it. Now it works, very weird ! Stupid ?

Ok, when I finish it, how do I describe the community how to apply it right.

Looks good so far.

The Nightwing's shield is the best part of this skin (so far) and the beast's head seems pretty much complete too.

The sword could obviously use a lot more detail and it looks like you have really just started on the wing details. Keep it up: that thing is going to pwn some orcs or undead when it takes to the skys!

To describe it you just need to tell them they have to import it once and change the filepath to one of those and then import it again and change it to the other filepath. It affectively doubles the size of it but there is no other way around that I know of. Blame Blizz. All you really can do to try and compensate for having to import it twice is by just making the size as small as you can.

ok, I'll do it.

I added a version with both remaps. I know I need to work on it.
