Texturing Competition #7 - Holy/Angelic

[TDR]

why would you want it to look like that? It has no defined volumes and it's overall very messy.

Anyway here's more progress of mine. I'll make color corrections at the end.

 

[THE_END]

Oop..and uh....oh
Yep wet pants from that skin
Good shit TDR
And Combat...TDR is right, its the most blurry thing since porn on cable

 

[Ezikielth]

Ok guys, finally got the face lookin the way I want it to, here it is.

Ok... you burned the hair from what I can see... Also the eyes look like a clown with lemon peels about its eyes... What you need to do is relieze that Its impossible to get good glowing eyes on a skin, I thin that you should rethink the face completely.

 

[Denu]

It isnt impossible to get get good glowing eyes. I have seen a number of skins that have succesfully created glowing eyes. Trick is alot of contrast for the eye and in the surrounding area create soft reflective light.

Go check out ewrt's and afroknight's skins. They have regularly created awsome glowing eyes.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Eh, w/e, I dont even know if I wanna be in this comp. Im not very good at faces anyways. Besides the best anyone can possibly get with AR and TDR in this is third. Ill just keep workin on my skins and try to figure out how to make faces that dont look like sh!t. Ill come back better for the next comp.

 

[DwarfZealot]

[seshimazi]

im not a bot im an asshole triying to get banned

 

[Technomancer]

I am still in this competition. Dang it Dio, that's what I was going to do for the feet. Now I'll have to think of something else.... I like the blades you gave it, they work well.

 

[Darkholme]

I'm still ins the competishiony goodness.

But Im not working on it tonight. Work on it tomorrow.

 

[ike_ike]

Aww. So the comp is now narrowed down to 3 people. TDR, A.R, and Darkholme

EDIT: Oh dear. Try not to have a hangover, kay? I'm assuming that it's kind of hard to skin with one.

EDIT THE SECOND: Sorry to everyone who took offense to the above. Wasn't really thinking straight.

 

[THE_END]

Ah yes, Dark and I have been participating in Irish festivities
cough*brinking beer for alot of today*cough
I'm retired until tomorrow night

 

[Technomancer]

Aww. So the comp is now narrowed down to 3 people. TDR, A.R, and Darkholme

What the hell, are me and Dio and the other people still in this invisible or something? Just because... I don't even know what your reason is... doesn't mean they are the only skins in the competition >..>

I mean, what about your skin? That's still in, right?

 

[ike_ike]

Oh, sorry about that. No offense, but the other skins (mine specifically) are waaaaaaaay out of their league.

Dionesiist's and yours are really good as well, but... TDR's skin is basically going to win -.-

 

[A.R.]

Aww. So the comp is now narrowed down to 3 people. TDR, A.R, and Darkholme

EDIT: Oh dear. Try not to have a hangover, kay? I'm assuming that it's kind of hard to skin with one.

for saint patricks we had cabbage, corn beef stew egg salad sandwich, then came whiskey from the basement...

anyone who recognises the lyrics is rad

and as far as my entry goes, due to issues with the theme, i'm temporarily out until i can make a new skin

 

[INF3RNO]

Aww. So the comp is now narrowed down to 3 people. TDR, A.R, and Darkholme

EDIT: Oh dear. Try not to have a hangover, kay? I'm assuming that it's kind of hard to skin with one.

lol thxs for the exclussion lol hoping ill have time to finish my skin atleast althought i gotta alot of H/W

 

[TDR]

I'd appreciate if you'd stop saying that only me or A.R. will win. I mean ok, we got it, you like our textures, but it's making other people feel bad.

 

[HappyTauren]

"It is competition that is important, not the prize."
Anyway, I think I will be turning AwesomeChestWrap Mage (Blood Mage) into something... holy.
TDR, what are you going to do with the upper part of cape? Alpha it out?

 

[XS-Archangel]

I think I will make a silver armor with blue stone in it's middle... I didn't know that it is so easy to draw a crystal ball

 

[ike_ike]

Okay, sorry about that. I wasn't really thinking too much when I wrote that. Apologies to anyone who was offended. I did not mean to say that other skins were bad, but they just pale in comparison.

But seriously, your skin owns so hard

 

[Ezikielth]

And you forgot about me... Just cus Im not posting wips doesnt mean mine is tanking.

 

[SuPa-]

Archangel, try to add a bit more depth to what you have right now

 

[Madome]

Im not posting WIP's AND not working on it XD
Will work some more on it today..

 

[XS-Archangel]

Archangel, try to add a bit more depth to what you have right now

You mean darker colors? Or to improve shading.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

I'm loving that XS! Especially what looks like a mana orb in his chest! Maybe you could make that team colour?

I'm working slowly on this atm, lots of schoolwork despite it's my last week until holidays XD

 

[THE_END]

I don't really like the face color you chose XS
Maybe change that or make a new face

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Yeah, now that I look at it for longer it needs to be a bit redder in my opinion...

 

[TDR]

TDR, what are you going to do with the upper part of cape? Alpha it out?

I can't alpha it out since it's the same mesh as the pauldrons, so the alpha channel gets team color instead of transparency. Maybe I'll add some team color to it...hmm...

oh and by the way, that thing and the cape have the most terrible unwrap EVER. I have to use projection painting to solve this.

 

[Darkholme]

Doesn't projection painting edit the model? or just mess with the texture. I'm not really sure how projection painting works. and if its just the texture couldnt you do it in photoshop?

 

[markone]

what is projection painting?

here is my wip, still a lot of things to do

 

[XS-Archangel]

I don't really like the face color you chose XS
Maybe change that or make a new face

which color doyou suggest? This color looks good in game

...projection painting...editing the model...try using GOOGLE next time you're not sure about something for crying out loud!
And here's a tutorial where I show how it can be done in max:

[markone]

well tdr i've already googled it thx anyway
now i just need to install max ... and try it

I looked it up. and looked at a tutorial, and to me it seemed like the same thing as cloning sections of the skin, but I wasn't sure. Also I wasn't ure why it was necessary if one has photoshop.

So I did look it up, didn't get it, and asked for clarification.

Soo, it's to make a seamless texture that matches up with the sectional dividers without having to do it by hand in photoshop? That does seem like a faster way to do it than photoshopping it manually witrh trial and error (How I have always done it)

If I misunderstood it, you can tell me. I think that's what it is though.

 

[A.R.]

markone: your skin is looking great! may need a bit more contrast on the armor, but the details are superb.

rofl, the face looks exactly like John Howard, the former prime minister of Australia -

 

[DwarfZealot]

yo tdr does the projection painting thing work with mirrored textures? like if I draw on one arm but on the unwrap the left and right arm are the same will it go onto both?

 

[TDR]

Darkholme, it would be impossible to do in phtoshop man. Just look at how the wings must look on my texture in order to look good on the model:

It would be impossible to just guess that in photohop alone. With projection painting you paint directly on the model, so even if you have a messed up unwrap like this (though it's not recommended), the program transposes what you paint on the uv's so it matches as close as possible.

@DwarfZealot: yes, of course it would! It doesn't change the uv's, just the texture...

 

[Denu]

Not impossible. Would just take hours and hours and you have to change it pixle by pixle.

 

[TDR]

ok man, you just go ahead and do that.

 

[Denu]

I allready have. Thats why I dont skin much.

 

[Darkholme]

Darkholme, it would be impossible to do in phtoshop man. Just look at how the wings must look on my texture in order to look good on the model:

Point taken. I guess I'll have to try that out as well. (not for the lich (relatively straightforward unwrap) but for the models I'm working on for Ent Seed.

 

[A.R.]

Haha! i'm back with a definitely Holy skin!

inspired by the skin that Arowanna92 was going to do, i thought i'd use a different version of the Seraphim on the demoness instead.

WIP shots:

 

[Gilles]

What a skank! Nice start though. What are the wings going to be?

 

[Kimbo]

urghh.. i was halfway on the same texture A.R... i was just about to show wip :< nvm about it :'<

 

[markone]

markone: your skin is looking great! may need a bit more contrast on the armor, but the details are superb.

thx

abt your new skin, just make lips a little lighter

 

[A.R.]

lol sorry wulf, please show yours

 

[Technomancer]

As far as I remember/know, there are two Lich model skins, two Illidan Evil model skins, and now two Demoness model skins, so I don't think there's a problem with you two using the same base model, Wulf. Please show

 

[markone]

yea i agree more persons can do same based texture. infact i like that kinda of contest when all people do same texture, with random theme.
