Someone back in the Q3 modding days did a pirate player model where they printed out the UVs and coloured it in with pencils, I seem to recall it looked quite good. I've looked for the model once or twice but I can't remember the name so I can never find it :(
hey MOP, i did that pirate model. you can even download it here http://www.ericspitler.com/junk/q3mdl-scurvy.zip i think i also did a texture for a little dragon using the same technique. did pior do that model? it was definitely a cool experience trying this, but i wonder if using corel painter would have looked better.…
