Much like any skinner does, not just me ;)

It's looking good, personally I'd make the highlights stronger but whatever your style is, go with it! Also, my first skins were pretty terrible compared to what you have there :p.

You mean just like every real skinner does?

Please don't cover this one in pitiful rust/dirt/junk grunge brushed strokes.

Looks good but i dont think the Barrel looks consistant with the rest of the metal it looks alot lighter than the rest of the metal.

But still looking good.

Ya but that wont be a big problem.

DayofDfeat123, you PM inbox is full I can't reply.

Is the sling very obviously static during the draw and reload anims? :(

uhh...

this is totally off-subject, but has anyone else noticed the lettering on the ONLY arm sleeve present in most situations is backwards?

Hey, this skin aren´t from DayofDefeat123 xD

This is some wood I made not very good but I think It came out very very good. I still need to add some more grain but I wanted to show you what I have so far. If you want me to have like a pack of them with different wood just tell me. Please comment.

yeah, that would require a new model.

the metal looks pretty good. the wood needs some work though, looks like brown plastic atm.

would require a new model, and you would hardly see it as that part of the stock is off screen

Hmmmmm..... thats true lol :D
Or he could change the origins so the player
has 10 foot arms lol :p

The wood is looking promising, the lighting looks natural enough, can't really say more before I see the grain and details :)

If you make it look like this...

Hey thx!:D

Im really not trying to derail your thread but if you want to talk to some guy about animating or if your going to do it yourself, heres a new guy that just started doing DoDS animations.

This is in no way trying to derail your project.

Your skin looks good, the brown skin is diffrent compaired to all the rest thats for sure.

:sheep:

Looks much better. I'd recommend just two things...

1) Increase the contrast a little bit, and some highlights to the flat wood on the top of the Carbine by the receiver/bolt. Also, add a small shadow to the rear where the metal meets the stock.

2) The wood on the front grip looks the best while the rest has a little too much noise. Can you lower the noise of the wood a little?

2 1/2) Maybe darken the entire stock a little, but that's a personal preference for a darker wood.

Looking good.

Viagra does that to ya.:rolleyes:

Yea, darkening the wood a bit would make it look
better imo ;)

Yeah thats what she said! :o

Bahahahaahahaha!!!!

I personally like the wood the way it is now.

Looks alright, can we get s screenshot from above (reloading or model viewer)?

This might release withen the next week maybe sooner.;)

It kinda looks grainy, like a bunch of small dots but it looks pretty darn good.

Heres alittle update im making 2 or 3 different woods for it.

All the wood you ever want. (said in the most hetrosexual way possible)

got wood?

Thanks alot wile I might use some!THX ALOT!

Are you releasing this over the weekend? I'm still using the default Carbine. :rolleyes:

Im waiting on the sling and wow didnt think you were going to dl my skin because I think of you as one of the best skinners you and PROPEN. Thx alot ill inform you when its coming out.:D

PROPEN has told me he might be able to fix the sling so this might release soon!!:D

Coo, been waitin lol, not many good M1 Crabine skins
out there so far :PARROT:

what about my reskin of the carbine?

Linky Linky???

Dont think I've ever seen it :confused:

http://www.fpsbanana.com/?section=viewitem.skins.skins.main.7882

Ahhhh..... Thanks ;)

yea thats what I'm using now, though just as a critic, its not your best work, at least not up to par with the past ones.

Are you still planning to release this? No news for a while.

Is it going to use the default anims? Because I dk about anyone else, but models that are closer to center (where one would actually shoot from) look better IMO. also very nice work so far, I love seeing custom models, not just textures

btw I found a good site with some high res wood textures http://www.ffranceschi.com/midima/3dtxte01.html
