Fleet: SDK
polycounter lvl 19
Ok, I figure alot of us are gonna have some spare time on our hands over the Christmas break, so what better way to spend it than on a group project. I resurrected this model from the ashes, finished it up, UVed it and now I present it for anyone who wants to skin it.
Included in the zip file is a 3ds, a max file, and a PSD that contains a texporter white wireframe, a texporter face normals layer, and the psd path version of the wireframe at 256x256. Feel free to increase the size, if you wish to do it at 512.

Okay, it's a barefoot kid with vacuum bottles for shoulder blades, right? I don't remember this, so please provide the background.
Fleet: is that like the enema?
/jzero
BTW, do you have a concept for this model?
It would be nice to have something to go by
while skinning it. Should we post our WIPs
in here?
Enix, for sure post progress here, thats what the thread is for!
Here was the original concepts, changed a bit at the model level
Also the uv's are pretty squashed (parts bleeding over onto others if you're not REALLY careful at 256) and you seem to have given huge amounts of UV space to the back of the head, and the underside of the jaw - places I'd usually leave a little less room for since nobody really looks at them.
Oh well, I'll have a crack at it, see what I can do ... roommate!
Im redoing the face, it looks to old, I
think he should be younger. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Just look at the colors and shape on the UV. And heres
my new wip on the skin...i started my old one at 4:00 am
last night. Was pretty much out of it
aside heres my new WIP:
Just started the backpack thing, probally gonna stick
with my colors, i might give him hair, not sure yet.
About an hour so far. Just laying down the design really. Still not sure about the boots/socks ... and the head might need some redesigning, but meh... WIP!
but im proablly going with metal and a secsi cybar look.
Thanks.
export it as a 512 x 512 map. And here are some
updates on mine, just worked on it for about 20
more mins today. Christmas is coming so computer
time is short for me ATM :P.
Enix: I like where yours is going, the jetpack and armour is reminding me of modern Japanese high-tech stuff like those walking robots they're making... all smooth matte plastic, pretty cool.
this could turn out really sweet
2 things on-the-way u might want to consider:
the shapes on his custom r very linear, sharp corners, etc.
on the shoe, its more stylish.
peronsally i think i like the shoe more, and would like to see that style consistant in the rest of the custom
other thing, again probably just personal preference, i think the armor design is a bit weak. very "generic" and "passive".. if u see my point
yea mop. i agree with shotgun had to say
smallcontribution for the thread. poop just begged to hard
and i could just not skin this model with a thought of
christmas in the head... i hope everyone who skins it has
fun ...
shalalala i made a quick update heh. with it on the model
im not to happy with how poop made the uv i think it is
distorting the boyish look that i have on the flat...
The chestplate was a cheap fill-in, I couldn't think of anything to put there and I still can't, but I'm scribbling on it and will probably come up with something to match the rest of the design soon.
qubi: yeah the face mesh and uv's are a little weird, the uv's kinda squash the texture (i ended up putting the eyes really far apart on the texture so they looked right on the model), and I think the shape of the head is odd - it improves if you move 4 verts at the chin forward a little.
Nice work on yours, reminds me a little of Per's "kangol" skin for the Mole model a long time ago. But yeah the face does look weird and distorted on the model, shame because it's a nice flat
sharp sharp!
i toyed around with ideas in the head what i could make
out of this model. maybe some cyber sport theme i thought.
dunno if anyone would be comfi wearing such a suite hehe...
mop why arent u on irc when you are on :P
i don't have irc on my laptop here... i could go download it if you want?
and great model from poop for sure !
Count me in for this one, if I found the time of course
just keep rockin' all

@old_man_funk

Here's my attempt. Not much of a theme going on, just playing around.

Hahaha you get my vote for best shirt.
Cheers Adam, I've been experimenting with a lot of shirt designs so I might show a few more when I finish the skin.

Just the Base of the armor, no detail
Nice design on the chest.
Woeha what i struggel I had with the head
but i made a start, influenced by Prs-Phils first idea or better said i stole it from him
here ya go poop, slow start for me.
I would just like to thank shimmer for his patience and tips
Slowly but surely
malengine that looks cool, reminds me of the oldschool q1 skins from back in the day, you should keep goin with it.
heres my adidas wearing soccer loser dork guy so far:
updated a bit, he sort of looks like my younger brother its funny how that turned out
c'mon poop where you at DOG
About halfway done. I am trying to learn how to use more muted colors well, as all my skins are normally super saturated. I would have loved to make this one brighter, but I am forcing myself to keep it cool.
i think ive had 2 much coffee.
