It took me two weeks of smacking my head against the keyboard in frustration before it was finally completed. I did a few others after that in the style of various world airlines. By the time I'd done my tenth deltaglider skin, I was banging them out in under an hour. Got myself a bit of a reputation as a skinning machine.
Tutorials do help but in the end, self-application is really the only way to learn. Here's a link if you'd like to see my full Deltaglider fleet ; http://www.orbithangar.com/searchaut...earch=macstu23 |
That was you? Awesome.
My only experience in skinning is altering the shooting target in the Rainbow Six Rogue Spear training missions to have Osama Bin Laden on them.
In SH3, I altered the Flotilla logos to be chapter pictures from Harry Potter books. the 1st Flotilla has a Dementor and the 7th Flotilla (My flotilla) has the Dark Mark
