screen and download. tell me what you think.

Recolour or reskin?

Sorry to say but I don't really like it.

You can double the size of each skin file to 512x512, it would look a hell of a lot better if you worked on a higher res template :)

he "reskinned" the wood

ok its reskinned the wood is completely custom don't know what the "reskinned" is about. I also revamped the barrel and bolt. thanks for the 512 tip.

"Completly new skin" as in "Completly new colors"?
:p

Nice job non the less, i took a crack at this 3.1 kar before, and ill tell you, it wasnt pretty....Stay away from bad meshes like this specimen.

Love the sling. Oh and is there a chance you might add in the 1.0/1.1/1.2/1.3 (:D) arms?

Good luck with skinning.

maybe I'm confused. Completely new colors meaning hitting ctrl u in photoshop and colorizing with hue and saturation? that would be too easy. I made a woodgrain texture imported it onto the 3.1 texture and burned/dodged new highlights. I also did that to the metal. some of it was a little hue/saturation :D but other than that I don't see why people keep saying a recolored the skin when the wood is from scratch.

I'll upload it soon and post the link...

Its hard to tell the difference on such a bad mesh and a tiny skin file :P

the wood is so... red...


and the metal is just recolored with contrast and brightness and on

Even if a lot of people dont like it Glimmer, just remember its a learning process. I see big things in your future :p


Personally, it gets my thumbs up

well here is a high res version. I just got mdl decompiling/recompiling 101
