During the period of out skinning contest for T|V we had some great entries. But, there is still a big devide between player made skins (some made by professional graphic design artists) and those made by those who specialize in games. Perhaps if there is time and it would not be to big of a stretch on trade secrets, we could conduct a moderated Q and A with the T|V artistic team. I don't presume to direct this to those individuals themselves, but as a sugestion backed by my own desire to learn more about game skinning and to contribute to the Tribes community.
Good idea Jimbo.
VIRUS TIME!!!!

professional texture artists are the secret
Speaking of skins...
The Diamond Sword Project (http://www.diamondsword.com) will be needing skinners shortly after Vengeance retail release. :browsmile
Now back to your regularly scheduled discussion.

On a side note:
I was thinking of implementing a plan to make original non-team skins just to add variety to the game and releasing them as "server packs" (This is a refinement of an older idea.)
But.. here is somethign a big out-there: Trophy Skins
Having skins for the T1 Champs, T2 Champs, T3 Champs, Tw Staff, etc... Skins to wear to denote a place in tribes so people can say "Oh hey.. it's _that_ guy" Of course.. this wouldnt work unless you could (1) lock skins to user ID's and (2) distribute these to all servers. So it would require Irrational Games to buy-into the idea. And maybe could be implemented through "optional patches" as the skins are devloped for the game. Again.. this idea is a bit "out-there" but I for one would love it.
Other catagories might be skins awarded as "orders" Engineer skin for those who have contributed to scripting, modding, mapping. *shrug*

I'll probably be redoing my flame skin (adding more details, a specular map) for light/medium/heavy when T:V comes out. Or even the beta, once I can see the pattern for the skins I can start painting (:
Assuming I didn't win the skin contest of course ( :lol: )
You can also come work for the Diamond Sword Project.

I'd rather have them judge the fucking contest! :)
edit: oh shit bitch! they took off the bad word filter, sweet.
