I still need to do the bump map, luminosity map, and the reflection map (that is what the alpha of the main files are, reflection...right?).
This render is 100% self illuminating....no lights or anything added to the scene (mostly cause I suck at max
C&C welcome.
Someone has been busy. Good to see some completely original skins getting done here.
The alpha of the main map is specular mask, (how much the surface will reflect the lighting in the level). make anything you want to look shiny white, and put some noise over it to get that warn spekkl'd metal effect.I like the general design quite a bit, but I think it's too busy. The new flames you added detract, I like your original use of texture for added detail. I also thing the red on the shoulders detracts from the total. And the face/head is far too busy. Pick one or two elements you like and make them look really good instead of tacking on 500 little things. Also remember that this will almost never bee seen from as close as your render, so tending to the bold side would probably be good.Zero-Optix said:Here is a update on mine...I took some suggestions from local TW peeps and did some touch ups-also adding the little flames and such that would be needed to match the Phoenix-I thought about a Trans Am logo but thats a bit much-lol Thanx for the nice replies so far!

Standard Disclaimer: This is simply my opinion. I am not a judge.
I do like the new color direction you're taking, Zero. Very cool.
Here's my final update. I just submitted the skins this morning, so I'm off for some icy cold refreshment...

Excellent work dunce, that's definitely a skin I'd play with. If it was me though, I'd ditch the self-illumination.
nice work dunce.
here is my sort of work in progress, i haven touched it in like a week and a half because im working 5 days a week now and just want to have fun on weekends
yes i know it is very flat, i havent added any real texture to the white paint at all but other than that, this is the direction it is heading (prolly wont finish in time for the contest but i still like doing it)
the cod piece is there just as a guide, couldnt figure out where all the textures went

dunce is owning this contest so far. If Trinity would finish his all metal skin he would win my vote I think. His current skin is too much like the original. Good work from Zero, Trin, and Dunce so far.
