[U-WBG] Skin Thread

[Stedman75]

a little frustrating to skin but got there in the end, Nod's sneaky hard hitter,

time consuming but worth it. stealth effect made from scratch by me

[Stedman75]

this is the family so far

I will continue on with these soon, after i get my university workload cutdown to

size. tho im not sure which vehicle to work on. everythnig that is nod (more or less) will

have my [u-WBG] changes applied to them.

[Stedman75]

i have also stared work on the LCG Black Hand, but this is for another time.

thank you for your time. Downloads will be made available soon if desired.

Peace

have to say that that's really nice work there m8!

a rly brilliant idea to combine green with black and white! also like the stealth effect!

[Qbert987]

I have to say that this looks AMAZING. a lot of the other skins look cheep and pointless. but this is a work of art

[HunterXc]

Great job on the skins Unit, but hey what do you expect from an eXiled Coalition leader.

I'm really looking forward to the completion of this set, and maybe I might even use them, they're getting better and better

HunterXc,

Very critical with the stealth units!

Because it could cause an advantage/disadvantage ingame.

is more visible then the normal skin.

Ps. the other skins are cool!

[Stedman75]

everyone else I have spoken to has said that it is harder to see sbh with my skin, not easier.

you are the first to say the opposite :huh:

i dont see how it can be more visible,

1. the square texture takes up less of the image than the original electrowaves did,

2. the brightest part of the new texture isnt as bright as the original

3. there are more parts that are completely transparent on the new texture, even parts on the origianl that werent bright were at least faint blue in colour

not to mention i was stood right next to the enemy sbh to take the picture.

my skin is alot easier to miss than the original one was.

So thats the disadvantage I was talking about... however any skin changes at all means changes to the perception for/of the player itself, so there are always advantages/disadvantages compared to normal status. No matter how hard you try to reach the original.

(e.g. shiny-mines)

hey ho guys, its been a while since i have skinned coz i been studying, i even banned myself from everything jelly so i couldnt be distracted as that was what made me lose so much time.

but with uni now over till september, and summer relaxation kicking in, i thought id get back to finishing my skin pack, for at least the vehicles

anyway, here she is...

weighing in at a hefty 11+ hours, it was not a 10 minute job and easily the hardest vehicle to skin thus far, also i had to relearn how to use photoshop after my long absence

thanks all and enjoy

As usual; nice work buddy.

Btw, your out of school for the summer right? Since you don't have any 3d design stuff going on at class, I'm sure I can see why your so bored.

I don't think we've added each other on facebook, but we should have. Hunter is on mine; add me if you want.

I'm going back to my British Literature work. Later.

I still don't see how people can play the game without their eyes bleeding with these kinds of high-contrast super-saturated skins. :unsure:

So, if I'm understanding you correctly, I'm a cheater if I purposely put myself at a disadvantage to other people?

So if I start and host an 'All vs me' sniper server and require all the players, other than myself, to download, install and use big head modifications, then I'm a cheater? (Meaning I'd have a normal game and be on GDI and everyone else would have big head modifications and be on Nod)

[frostbyte]

I like what you did Unit , Especially with the uncloaked SBH. Looks great!

[Dawgboy12]

I saw the buildings in the background :3

So, waht are you doing for GDI

[Pendullum]

I'm gonna be honest, I don't like them, it's too much of a contrast imho.

[Qbert987]

where can i download.

[Stedman75]

lol...

The green part does make it almost hurt your eyes if you play it long enough I bet; but it's all of a matter of perspective and preference to the players. When your completely done with everything I'd like to see it. You should change the land color as well on those maps like vanilla did. With a new land color it just may be the thing to change everyone's out look on the skins.

I'm starting to not care anymore about the skins in renegade though. Every time I look at Renegade X I keep on thinking "Oh my gosh!"

In the mean time I'll play on atomix or a little bit of COD:WAW.

I'm thinking about writing an article over the new Ghostbusters game for a magazine. Do you guys have any thoughts on to what new release I should choose?
