You're... making a model? For serious? Wow... Good on you, sir! Looking good so far.

CoolCookieCooks

Silverwing

TinCan

Very cool

slayer20

Can not wait to see this done!

Atone

Looking damn good so far. I'll probably try 'er when she's finished :D

Invader_Scoot

I am VERY impressed by your work here sir, especially in a time where NS1 customization is completely dead.

Need someone to host this when you're done?

jamin

Done. Haven't tested ingame yet so if anyone wants to take some ingame screenies please do.
kinda also got lazy finishing the textures but meh.

Download is in first post.

E/and yes some more hosting would be cool. File front is a shadow of what it once was.

Thaldarin

Needs more reddy/brown instead of grey.

However, very very spiffy NS1 customisation that I can only applaud.

slayer20

Really cool in-game!

All it needs now is a glowing belly :P

jamin

Also an Ns2 style onos.

Don't know if I can be bothered to texture it or not so all you get for now is the normal colours.

Atone

Could you be bothered to provide a picture? :p

jamin

Now that you mention it.




No.

slayer20

Could you possibly to a skulk model too?

The gorge is absolutely amazing looking in-game.

Evil_bOb1

nice!

I wanted to try to skin the Onos myself, but I'm not really sure where to start...

Not sure where to start with installing a custom model? 'Splain this a little bit more, there are plenty of people here more than willing to help!

And Jamin, lookie here: <a href="http://www.scootrnova.net/features/ns/jamin_ns2_gorge.html" target="_blank">http://www.scootrnova.net/features/ns/jamin_ns2_gorge.html</a>

You asked for a host, is that acceptable for you? That link should be good for a long time, I can't imagine moving domains or dropping hosting anytime soon. And if there are some pictures I'll throw the Onos you made up there too!

whoppaXXL

Good work, mate!

Silverwing

This gorge model looks great ingame. I use it now and it looks ace with the fade because of similar colouring but an onos would really rock!

Anyhow, great job jamin. If it was possible, you would recieve +rep!

jamin

Thanks for extra host Scoot.
And thanks for comments everyone else. (the more comments I get the more likely I am to texture/make more Ns2 style models... so shoot me.)

And would someone please post some ingame screenies! I wanna see what it looks like ingame because I'm currently unable to play (or even load up) NS.

The texture is what I meant.

I know how to extract the texture, open it and photoshop, and color on it and what not, but I'm not sure where to start with the actual texture itself. I've never done an actual "skin" before...

jamin

I'm probly not the best person to give advice on diffuse only texturing. (I'm not that good at it.)
But the way I do it now is to:
-start with a few basic colours and rough them out on the texture.
-draw some sketch lines on the texture so that I know where I want everything to go
-build up big light and dark forms using big brushes
-progressively use smaller and smaller brushes to build up shade and detail
-Use texture overlays to give the material some definition
-start adding details such as infestation and dirt in this case
-adjustments using contrast, levels and such until I like the look
-sharpen, because half life likes to blurr the crap out of textures.
-done.

I'm sure there are a bunch of tutorials online.. Probs better looking at those than my workflow.

Anyway, I started texturing the onos cus I got bored. Head is pretty much done the body not so much.

I'll see if I can grab some screenshots tonight.

The Onos' teeth look a bit... pronounced? Maybe darken them a bit?

Anyhow, looking forward to seeing the finished beast!

whoppaXXL

Cool.

Kouji_San

What's this! Do I detect motion in this sector?


Awesome project you got going here, simply awesome :D

Seker
