    If you want you could use my mix of those High-Res arms released a while ago by Dillinger, and the original arms. Looks better than the original at least.

    Resized and crappy pic.

    Well...

    he just wants a new texture, not old, not high res of the old, just a *new* texture... i mean it's not that hard to fathom, and you dont gotta get all *oh SORRY* about it just because he doesnt want it and is getting a bit peeved about it.

    Thank you Bashh... and after failing my calc 2 test today, I found some time (since I didn't eat lunch) to UVW map the arms myself... gd it stop making me do stuff! <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    download textures here skinners:

    ignore the space wasteage and the awkwardly put together maps, I tried to map the organic geometry of it best I could... I think it came out nicely, but it could be confusing...

    the little spray painted curves on the fingers demonstrate where the finger nails would be, so you can tell which side is the top of the unwrapped appendage <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Those fingers and thumbs look like they'll warp like mad when animated... Especially the thumbs. The joints in the fingers are a little better.

    i know it may appear, but trust me, ice is one of the most compitent guys out there, and he's been telling me about the finger warping and how to get around it, so i'm confident to say that his wont warp much or at all. It may appear they might, but he's got you fooled <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I'm having a tough time replicating this default texture, it really is a pain in the arse, does anyone have like a nice high res TSA logo for the back of the hand shield? I don't have any and I would like to have a really plain, 2 color if possible high res TSA symbol shape so that I can slap it on the back and make it pretty
    (note: the 2 color thing is because I use it as an alpha selection layer, so I end up converting it to 2 colors anyway)

    here's a comparison shot of the default and my arm, even though one is the left arm and the other is the right arm (my bad)

    Nice work ice.

    Couldn't you make your own texture if you think all those in circulation are crap ?

    If not, post a request in the Request forum for someone to do your skin.


    Keep in mind that everytimes you will post images of something you did, there will always be good and bad critics. You should consider both to keep improving (as long as the bad ones are well pointed). In fact, when posting about something I did, I prefer to get bad critics and sort of dislike good ones. I don't need good ones to make it better.


    By the way, you did the modeling with what ? The tool used could influence the natural look and vertice movements. The shot makes me think about Milkshape. If so, having morphing tools could ease on the natural looks and overlaping faces if you have the right tool.

I probably won't be requesting it, and as for the model, the model is done hoss, I'm not going back and using another program, and I don't have any "overlapping' polies or anything, I would be ashamed if I did...

    This thread is the first one I see related to anything you done.

    I didn't know you were making your own texture. When I read the post, somehow, my browser wasn't showing me the next page so I wasn't aware. Sorry for that.

    I was talking in general about the overlaping. Not necessarly about this particular one. Overlaping faces and streatching textures happen when doing animations. It's just that I have seen other people releasing models with these problems because they either didn't know how to fix them or didn't have the right tools to model. People reading your post will be motivated one way or in another to model for themselves. So it's more like an advice to everyone modeling.

    Working without any limits to respect is alot more fun then having to deal with them (texture limits, game limits, polygon limits, ...).


    Please, don't jump to conclusion when reading a reply. Don't expect people to be aware of all your previous work or posts, because they usualy aren't. Don't let the bad critics get to you. Relax, be open minded. Your replies show a bit of frustration and that will not help you. Without critics, art would probably be just squares and circles.
