Is anyone interested in a skinning tutorial for the VIIC?

12-22-08, 01:35 PM

I caught the paint slingin' bug again and I'm working on a new project - with this I'm posting a bunch of updates over on the boards at BtS-Mods.com so I'm wondering if anyone is interested in a skinning tutorial for the VIIC as this sub skin progresses? For a current link to my work so far: click here.

It's a project I've had on the back-burner for quite a while, when I was working on the Christmas banner for my site I came up with a new technique that's helped me keep my colors together so that makes things easier when it comes to the final adjustments so I'm going to try the same with this u-boat. It's taking cues from some of Yamato9's subs and I figured I'd try to put my own twist on the design idea!

Go for it.

The more info there is out there, the greater the likelyhood that others might take up skinning.

Please do. I'm very interested in skinning (I've done it in other games), but unsure of the best processes for skinning subs in Sh3. Tips for doing weathering effects and rust would be good too.

Maybe Fubar out there would jump in with some weathering advice...Fubar, Fubar, where art thou, Fubar?

I'm getting to that in this lesson just as soon as I finish the basic look of this u-boat

You could use my templates to help your tutorial. Their already available.

I've notice many new skins have some base components of my templates.

Unless your trying from scratch...:hmm:

Slowly but surely it's coming along - I really shoulda picked an easier skin to make a lesson out of because this one is so daggone time consuming but so far the basic idea is coming out. I'm working on that tutorial in that thread as I go along, it should come out nicely
