I haven't skinned in a looong time., and I want to get back into it over the summer. But before I begin I have a few questions...

1) Is it possible to add to the current DoD:s player models as long as it stays within the hitboxes? Or even edit the existing models , again staying within hitboxes?

2) Is it possible to have class specific skins with phong enabled on them? So far, it's either or, and not both.

3) (Skinner oriented) Is it possible to have an animated skin on a player/weapon model? Has anyone tried this yet?


I have some ideas that tie in with these questions. I'm going to be starting a skin pack that a lot of people have been asking/wishing for...

It'll my biggest project as of yet....

This guy managed to change the helmets on the US to russian helmets, so i guess that it is possible! http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?t=71941

I know that DarkElfa did some testing along the lines of animations on cs skins hmmmm heres the link for his glove animation test.http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/23482

Cool! Has anyone tried changing/remodelling the attire of the player models? Or is willing to try it to see if it passes consistency tests?

Those Russian models pass the consistency check.

His official answer is "stay within the hitboxes and it will work". This goes for the equipment as well - it can be altered also.
