[WIP] Drewton's Skins

Drewton · 01-03-2009, 03:35 PM

Since skins require a much smaller amount of work than most mods, I'll only be using this thread for larger projects that I do. I'm currently working on a Galen Marek/Starkiller/Jacob Nion/Secret Apprentice skin pack, which will include dark side transitions and costumes from TFU, concept art, and the TFU downloadable content.

I'd like to do all of the TFU costumes, but there are, of course, limits to what I can do when I'm only skinning. I don't believe there's anything that remotely resembles the scarf thing that was part of the Heavy Training Gear on Raxus Prime in KOTOR, for example. Though I'm not saying modeling isn't a possibility

.

I know I'll be able to make:
*Training Gear (nearly finished)
*Medical Gear
*Sith Robes (nearly finished)
*Bounty Hunter Disguise
*Kento's Robes (possibly)
*Jungle Combat Gear
*Raxus Prime Survival Gear
*Corellian Flight Suit
*Jedi Knight (based on Jedi Knight Revan skin)
*Death Star Robes
*Sith Stalker

From the downloadable content:
*Clone Wars Armor
*Force Ghost (possibly)
*Sith Assassin (Darth Bandon on this one?)
*Alliance General

Lastly, this will be for both KOTOR and TSL, though it's possible there will have to be some differences, and for now, here's a preview (more to come). Any suggestions, feedback, and/or assistance is welcome!

Ferc Kast · 01-03-2009, 03:46 PM

Very nice. I guess I won't do a K1 version of him after all.

Your version looks sooo awesome.

Canderis · 01-03-2009, 03:47 PM

Wow, that is REALLY good, what skinning program are you using?

HK-42 · 01-03-2009, 04:54 PM

Amazing Drewton, this is awesome. Cant wait to see more screenies.

Darth Payne · 01-03-2009, 05:08 PM

Wow, this is looking amazing Drewton.

Cyberevan · 01-03-2009, 05:54 PM

I'm really excited by this! Great work so far!

Exile007 · 01-03-2009, 06:26 PM

Hope this turns out better than my dead Sith Stalker attempt for TSL.

Looks great!

DarthYuugi · 01-03-2009, 06:26 PM

Very Nice

SW01 · 01-03-2009, 07:19 PM

Very impressive so far! The training gear skin looks great - good luck with the rest of the project!

Chevron 7 locke · 01-03-2009, 07:50 PM

That looks amazing, great work!

Drewton · 01-03-2009, 08:23 PM

Thanks all.

I'm now thinking that the Jolee Bindo body may work better for the Training Gear instead of the standard armor I'm using (started with PMBC03 Echanie), due to important details such as the "skirt" and "belts" around the upper gray armor, the latter of which are hidden using the armor model. Only problem is, I don't think the Jolee model is in TSL...any thoughts?

I might also need to learn how to model in order to do the Sith Stalker mask. All masks in the game(s) have only one side, not covering the entire head. The Revan model has a mask with the other side being hidden by a hood, but...the costume isn't supposed to have a hood/cape.

Canderis · 01-03-2009, 08:31 PM

You maybe could use the n_jedicounsmal ,or somthing like that, model, it looks similar to jolee's robes

Drewton · 01-03-2009, 10:48 PM

Yeah, that might work. Also, sorry for forgetting to answer your previous question. I use Adobe ImageReady CS2, an unfortunately discontinued product which has nearly all the capabilities of Photoshop.

Ferc Kast, that shouldn't stop you from making your own. It might be better than mine

DarthParametric · 01-03-2009, 11:33 PM

Nice work. This should go nicely with my Starkiller saber, if I can ever get that released.

Exile007 · 01-04-2009, 01:32 AM

Jolee's robes use the same model as the Sith Assassin Tunic's, with the exception of the backpack, so doing it for TSL is doable.

Thankteamgizka · 01-04-2009, 02:37 AM

you know what I always wondered why did Jolee show up with a jedi robe on and not his default clothes

DarthYuugi · 01-04-2009, 07:40 AM

Meh he thought he would wear it one day

Anyways i would use Jolees but theres a bug when standing still he starts to turn his head a bit un like regular models

and the skins look great drewton keep it up

Druganator · 01-04-2009, 08:11 PM

I would like to make it clear i am not volunteering anyone RH i am simply suggesting that SS has made a helmet that covers the back of the head in his Canderous' Items mod. you could talk to him and ask for some help.

Mandalore_The_Great · 01-04-2009, 08:27 PM

Lol, Drug, you saw my thing on Ergonomic Cat's thread?
Sounds very good. I'll defenitely DL once you release it

Impressive most impressive.The jolee model may work for TSL. I'll give it try and get back to you. So Jolee's model isn't in TSL.

DarthYuugi · 01-06-2009, 04:56 PM

Yeah But Jolees model in k2 would be porting if its not there already

Yeah, but the Dark Jedi tunic is the closest thing to Jolee's model in TSL. In fact, the tunic is just a modified version of Jolee's clothing, minus the backpack and other features. So using Jolee's model in K1 and the tunic in TSL would work perfectly.

DarthYuugi · 01-07-2009, 11:23 AM

i never really liked the sith assasain tunic it dident spark enough

Jolees robes were more bulkier which i thought in my opinion was better

Drewton · 01-29-2009, 09:18 PM

It's been a while, but anyways, the Jolee model didn't really work because of the hood, which I'd forgotten about it...though I could try removing it via modeling. The Galen Marek pack has made good progress, and hopefully will be released in early February!

Meanwhile, he's another mod I've been working on which will likely be finished within the next few days. It obviously still need a lot of work, specifically with the arms and shoulders.

Darth Payne · 01-29-2009, 09:21 PM

Wow, very nice.

HK-42 · 01-29-2009, 09:33 PM

Very good, yea it needs some work(not much) its kinda shiny and if you compare it to the TFU its missing a few wounds on the chest.

EDIT:

Would sith assassin Star Killer work with the jolee model, with the hood down not up?

Sith Holocron · 01-30-2009, 12:32 AM

It also appears to be missing what appears to be a few implants as well on the chest. I do think adding a few scars on the body so it's closer to the original K2 Sion wouldn't be a bad idea.

Drewton · 01-30-2009, 10:10 AM

Thanks for the comments.

HK-42, assuming you mean the DLC Assassin Starkiller, I'm actually using Bandon for that one.

Sith Holocron, the implants are there, they're just hard to see because of the lighting. The ones near the shoulders will be moved further down.

Here's a small update with the neck blended more with the body. The actual skin's not as green as it looks here. The arms still have yet to be done, and I'm wondering if I should try modeling the shoulderpad. Also, Nihilus's cape in the background has been reskinned.

Your Sion skin looks much better than the vanilla version.

And, Nihilus' cape looks good also.

Salzella · 01-30-2009, 12:17 PM

your skins are honestly amazing. speaking as a sometime skinner, you are a God

Yes I mean the Assassin Starkiller, Im just saying Jolee would probably work better, as even the hood would be there. No matter though.

ojajebie · 02-02-2009, 08:06 AM

Sion reskin is awesome, but in TFU he is not such "green". His skin is grey, like it was in K2. Check out these movies for confirmation:

Sion in TFU 1
Sion in TFU 2

Btw, could u make some female skins, like Mara Jade or Aayla Secura, please?

**Prime** · 02-03-2009, 11:34 AM

Very nice!

Keeper_DP · 02-04-2009, 06:49 AM

I really like your Sion based of the one of the force unleashed.Its amazing.

Are you going to make the shoulder like this one?

Great skins btw.

A few new screens of TFU Sion, thanks to Shem.

Sith Holocron · 02-12-2009, 06:30 AM

I just realized who TFU's version of Sion reminds me of: Pinhead from the Hellraiser movies. That thing on his shoulder - looks like one of those melee shields you can equip in the game

Drewton · 02-28-2009, 04:15 PM

Thanks all!

ojajebie, I might try them some time, but I don't think Aayla would look much different than the other generic Twi'leks.

Keeper_DP, I was hoping to model on the shoulder pad before, but now I don't think I will...there would probably be some clipping issues with the arm animations, and I'm not great at modelling.

I started working on this again after a while. Sion is no longer green, and thanks to Shem for the screenshots he posted which I used a few elements from.

I still have to do the arms/shoulders and the entire back.

EDIT: A few other updates have been done, and here's a desktop-sized image.

HK-42 · 02-28-2009, 04:20 PM

Looks great Drewton!
