Starcraft II

[Denu]

I just planned out the Marine design. Long way off from completing but I just wanted to put it out there before anyone else did. Also I havent done the back yet because I need to pause blizzes trailer to be able to do it.

Comments and critique on the form please. I want to make sure the layout is good before I move onto detail.

 

[THE_END]

Hmm looks good
But I have no idea how it compares to the other Marine skin
Could ya post original Denu?

 

[Denu]

It is mostly one big team color machine.

Here ya go:

 

[THE_END]

OHH GOD
Please make a map where your newly skinned Marine owns the normal skinned one haha

 

[Massive_attack]

i would greatly appreciate some extra detail on the armour the face is nice though, seems to have its own unique style. Keep up the good work the thing it needs most is shading.

 

[Denu]

Ok just so theres no more misunderstanding. I havent done an ounce of shading yet. As I said I have just done the layout. Shading and detail comes later.
I am winding up my schoolyear so everything seems to go at a sluggish pace. I am going to try and put in detail as soon as I can but I got school and some other stuff to take care of first.
Also on a sidenote... STARCRAFT II LOOKS AWSOME!!!

 

[Mechanical Man]

As the cartoon style for now looks great. Are you making Tychus J. Finlay? There is a request for it.

 

[Denu]

More or less yes I am. I am actually planning on doing all three starcraft units that are in WIII (excluding the spaceorc) to commemorate the dawning of SII. So zergling, hydralisk, and the marine.

Did the shoulders. Also did the helmet but you cant tell really. Bad wrap unfortunately so I have to keep the detail on that to a minimum.

Oh and also I need some oppinions on this. Should I put on the 435 number or what? Sure it looks good on one side but a little goofy when its mirror imaged on the other. I think it will help pull the skin together abit more ingame and you wont notice the mirror image part.

 

[Dionesiist]

Denu, you are one hell good of a skinner I like it! Oh, would there be any model compatible for a Protoss?

 

[Massive_attack]

Any additional details that can be added would be nice.

 

[Denu]

Thanks Dio and no I cant really think of any good potential protoss units. Archimonde and unbroken are all I can think of. The unbroken you couldnt easily turn into a protoss but I hade a cool idea of making them a protoss infested by the zerg.

Shit I cant upload???? WTF?!?!?!?



Oh nvm I saw the news.

 

[THE_END]

Very nice man very nice
And yea I would go with the numbers
It'll look fine I think

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Hmm, at the moment the shaded areas are looking quite blurry.

I like how you made your own structure and composition of the armor, and completely re-drew the face. I know you'll pull this whole thing together in the end.

 

[Massive_attack]

I look forward to seeing the gun textured.

 

[SuPa-]

All I can say is... Jesus Christ (sorry if anyone gets offended by this)
Very, very good dude! The lighting is just stunning
One thing Photobucket > Image shack
*puts two thumbs up*
Can't wait to see the rest. Great job at making Blizzard cry because of their WC3 Marine Texture compared to urs :-D

 

[Denu]

Tried photobucket. You have to register right? Well I tried doing that but I forgot my zip code and I am too lazy to go find out.

 

[SuPa-]

Make it up lol, I do that for tons of things.

 

[Dionesiist]

Thanks Dio and no I cant really think of any good potential protoss units. Archimonde and unbroken are all I can think of. The unbroken you couldnt easily turn into a protoss but I hade a cool idea of making them a protoss infested by the zerg.
Shit I cant upload???? WTF?!?!?!?

Oh nvm I saw the news.

Hmmm, Archimonde could work... but the mouth and face anatomy aren't suited... Oh, I know... Even though there hasn't been any reference for female protoss, the assassin would work well!

 

[Massive_attack]

A skin for existing protoss models could work as well. (as long as you credit and mention blizzard and the original creators)

Edit: unfortunately the skin looks quite fuzzy now.

 

[SuPa-]

The faceless ones could be used as a protoss. But it wouldn't work out that well

 

[THE_END]

Yea the arm skins are used elsewhere on the skin
So it would be problemental
And yes I just made up that word I believe

 

[Denu]

Existing protoss skin??? Arms used elsewhere??? Huh??? I think I missed something...

Also it is fuzzy right now because this is only stage two. Once I get to stage three, which is high res, all of what you see will be reskinned. And yes I am going high res. Right now is to give the skin a general feel and to give me practice. Never done terran armor before. Actually I havent really done much of any kind of armor. And just to get it outa the way this whole thing is just sort of because I am really excited about SII. I am not doing it for practical map uses. Although I always have the look of the skin ingame as my top priority.

 

[Massive_attack]

I was saying maybe you should reskin Killst4rs models, but as THE_END reveals the arm texture is used more than once so it could have consequencses

 

[Fenrik]

More reference pictures

 

[Denu]

Goody goody!

This will help alot. I am taking a couple days of rest. Then I gotta finnish my skin for the competition and finnish a request. After which I will resume full force on this.

 

[SuPa-]

lol... there's a stripper with a gun on his thing. I noticed that b4, but just wanted to point it out (never noticed the gun, though)

 

[Massive_attack]

That only makes the marine even more awesome IMO.

Good find there, i love how they are keeping a constant steady flow of stuff
its helping quell the hype and fanboyisim by providing some solid news, evidence, and info. From what ive seen i can only find small pieces of the game that i dont like, pieces that can be changed.. and let me tell you...These cinematics are definately NOT on the need to change list. I liked the original SC cinematics even to this day and now theyre promising us that these will be even better ?! Good times.

 

[SuPa-]

Hurry up and finish it, Denu! I'm gonna reanimate the marine and give it different weapons with your skin
made the orange vizier screen... erm... thing, as well

Probably gonna work on the orange thing more, looks pretty weird right now
(srry if this is somehow jacking your thread)

 

[THE_END]

Hmm yea gotta make that thing orange Denu
And Supa you can animate?

 

[SuPa-]

Yes, I can also model

 

[Impac7]

Hey why don't you try making a Terran Reaper?

 

[SuPa-]

Why can't we discuss Denu's skin now? I don't want it to appear as if I jacked his thread... Just trying to get him to finish the skin. Maybe I should've sent it in a PM, oh well.
Just noticed this, Denu. The plating is excelent. The reason I just noticed this? I tried to do plating before... and it ended up like a six pack >.<

 

[Massive_attack]

SuPa, the model wins. So does the skin so, keep up the good work !

 

[SuPa-]

Mainly blizzard's model. I just raised the chest and added the screen thing. Anyway, hope you finish it soon Denu, I'm gonna use it in my map

 

[Denu]

Bitchin! While your at it there are actually a couple things I dont like about the model.

1. The lights... make them more like how blizzard placed them in the cinimatic. In other words: take off the top lights and put the two sets of double lights on his chest correctly.
2. Could you do anything about the lower legs? They wrap so badly and piss me off so much
3. Helmet also wraps poorly although I can sorta get around that. But it still looks weird.
4. Make the weap as cool as you can

I think thats it. You dont really have to change all that but I would much appreciate it. This definately motivates me more to finnish it though. But as I said I have to finnish my skin for the competition and finnish a request. I will work faster now though >)

 

[erwtenpeller]

Sorry to say it but, just dont waste your time on that piece of shit model.

 

[SuPa-]

Yeah denu, I can re-wrap the lower leg, or " boot" part. w/e it is

 

[Impac7]

The skin is too cartoony... why not use a real human face and metal stuff for the armor instead of this blue cartoony skin? Well he has to choose if he likes it so let my opinion not change things.

 

[SuPa-]

It's not finished, Impac... If you've noticed, a few parts of the armor are really detailed, while other parts are flat

 

[ViralHatred]

This'll be great when it's done. I hope it gets uploaded

Also SuPa- It'd look better If you done a visor down version ad a visor 3/4 open.

And theres some great metal skinning tut's out there.
