Resident Evil skin

Kai222

i am working on a player skin for Counter-Strike that turns the SAS into a Resident Evil Umbrella soldier

here are some previews





i dont have an in-game look yet,but i will soon

Joao Sapiro

too small and too dark , cant barely figure the skin.

Kai222

Johnt,it's based off of the SAS,that's why it's so dark (and to help i used a WHITE background)

Joao Sapiro

well, maybe a bigger image ?

Kai222

umm...that will be hard...cuz my monitor is HUGE so i cant see the size of the pic

what size SHOULD the pic me

(like width x hight)

hawken

800x600?? at least

Kai222

ok,one 800x600 pic coming right up!

Neo_God

Actually a dark grey would have been a better choice as a background, because with the white, there's now too much contrast between the character and the background to make anything out on the character.

aniceto

so you just painted the logo onto the original SAS skin?

Kai222

Neo_God:ok,i will take that into opinion

ancieto:umm...yah,but its a work in progress,im trying to make it look like a COMPLETE soldier (green arms and legs,etc)

rooster

hmm I don't think you'll get a terribly positive response if you're just going to paste a logo onto someone elses skin and recolour it. Hope you plan to do more than that!

Fuse

using a white background makes your dark skin appear even darker .. you are better off with a more neutral gray

Emil Mujanovic

All really good crits there, I'd say listen to them.

i am sorry actually, NeoGod beat me to it .. but like i said .. it's basic colour theory, if you want to present your models with the lest interference you want some kind of a neutral gray to make sure you dont have drastic contrast ... you also have to account that some people might have their brightness turned down so many will see a completely darky smudge ..

i think a larger render would work much better

i just finished the skin,but i cant host the photo on Imageshack,can any1 tell me where else i can get photo's hosted?

ok! new pics

Now I would suggest to paint some detail on that gray base. Textil textures, wrinkles and other detail. Keep it up Kai, seeing your first real skin ingame is a rewarding experience

Kai222

thx for the comment and advice


EDIT:what gray base? the background?

rooster

try and search for images that you would like your skin to resemble, get lots of reference. SAS dudes with winkles in their clothing etc. Do your best to make those details yourself on the skin, post what you do and people here will point you in the right direction. Try not to think in terms of 'it's too difficult' just go ahead and have a shot at it

Why would a covert ops soldier want essentially a giant white 'X' on his back? I sense a german tank fiasco here with this poor guy. Of course, it could be worse. At least he doesn't work for Target...

GLandolina

right but as far as i can see its still the original texture with the logo pasted on it, even if you finish it its still someone elses texture that you've just modified.
start from scratch.

Downsizer

it's not even a very good version of the logo. It's heavily warped and disproportioned. I could wip up the logo in vector in about oh... 5 mins and i'm not even an artist.. put some effort into it.

Joao Sapiro

tottaly agreed with downziser, this seems on of those "clan skins!!11on1!" i sometimes see where they take the texture and slap theyr logo.
