groovy

maybe you should have it replace the light armor instead of medium so you'd see it more

There any way of importing it into T1?

I suck at skinning, any comments?

That is just how the colours are gonna be, I'm gonna jazz it up later :x

Haven't touched the head yet

Try blanking or removing the bump map so we can see what you did

dunce_boy wins!

I like the look of the helmet work you've done so far nj. i look forward to seeing it completed.

I'm gonna TRY to finish this, texture work is so mentally exhausting for me. I'm going for primitive hammered steel look. Make him look a little heavy.

It'd be nice if there was some standalone program you could download to test these models/skins in.
Is there like a .max viewer or anything?
I'd like to take part, but I can't because I don't have 3dStudioMax

Granted, you may be able to light (as I heard someone talking about glowing eyes), but that's just not as emulating as in-game lighting.

uh, rendering it in 3dsmax is far closer to what t:v looks like than what either t2 or t1 can do ;p

also, for the people whining about not having 3dsmax, try reading the thread. theres a link to a 30 day evaluation version.

=D

started to change some stuff in the head .psd file, but changes don't show up when I load it up in 3ds6max, do I have to change the tga files too? If so, how can I copy the changes over without too much work? Help appreciated :/

The .max file uses .tga files for the textures, not .psd. There were instructions to attach them to the model somewhere in this thread I think.

Edit: keep in mind that you want to save a .psd copy as well... the .tga copy will not have layers.

that is very impressive indeed.

Yeah, what I did was took the original tga and started my PSD file by copying the original as a locked layer, that way I can just save the PSD over the original tga file and it updates automatically when I switch back over to Max.

Sorta featureless if ya ask me... Nice job on the plate metal look, but I think it's kinda bare.

Uh. The only bare thing looks like the shoulder pads. Maybe you mean desaturated, since it doesn't have much color?
