<div class="IPBDescription">Black on Chrome</div> Well, a friend of mine wanted his pistol to be black and chrome so I gave it a shot, this is the result:

Both the norm and heavy hands are here, btw.

setting up no-ip for this one... should be up in a few

    actually, its the stock pistol, just a new skin <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    the skin isn't super fabulous, just something quick i did in PS.

    glad people like it though <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    actually, i dont need the hosting anymore, the link should work now.
  • KitkiKitki Join Date: 2004-04-04 Member: 27722Members
    I think that the handle should be more black. Looks good otherwise
  • DJPygonDJPygon Join Date: 2004-09-29 Member: 31997Members
    thanks kitki -- and just letting everyone know the download is working fine now.

    i think it looks really bad... way overly contrasted specifically the slide i mean it's almost totally black which would never happen. you can actually see colored splotches (blue green some red?) all over it from the extreme contrast.

    the skin originally looked really cartoony... this makes it look much much more cartoony.

    ---
    i'm sorry if i dont praise people for work that really is not that good. that just doesn't help them at all.

    As I said in the very beginning, this wasn't to show off skill, or make it the ****, or anything. It was 5 minutes of photoshop work on the original textures, I didn't erase, paint, do anything, accept some color correction and a change of the curves. Anything you see there is in the original skin, including the colored splotches.... on top of that, if you're speaking of there being colored splotches on the slide, you are mistaken. All of the color was removed from that area of the skin, so it is highly impossible.

    just because u gray scaled/desaturated in photoshop or whatever doesn't mean the compression wont "readd" in color when it's saving. (it creates a color palette for the image and applies the closest color, out of the 256, to the different shades)

    you either saved it wrong to get bad compression or you didn't full desaturate.

    notice the difference between them in this comparison. you can clearly see blue and green etc in the original.

    drealit man, give the guy some slack. Not everyone can get good at photoshopping instantly.
  • DJPygonDJPygon Join Date: 2004-09-29 Member: 31997Members
    most likely was from the crappy conversion (paint) because my PS doesn't support 256 color export in .bmp --- atleast that i have figured out how to do.

    Cookies: thx for sticking up for me, but i'm actually decent at PS -- the area I lack most in is grunging.

    back to the fact this was a 5 minute job -- like, literally... I spent much more time learning how to covert it to a model (10 minutes) and even more figuring out that 'Chrome' is an HL keyword for its own crappy chrome looking texture. That actually took me a little time to figure out why it looked so crappy, til i figured out that whole keyword time and wondering what i screwed up on.

    nono dont get me wrong i'm not trying to discourage anyone in my posts... i just hate it when i see people goin "o man that's awesome" and **** like that when it really isn't. some people take it the wrong way and keep pumping out more junk without figuring out how to "improve." that's why the dlcss forums became very private for a period of time.

    my goal is to get people around here to do more than just a 5 min. job, and to actually try to drastically improve.

    there will be no **** kissin comin from me, only hardcore crituque <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    i just wish more people would understand what i'm doin.

    Good idea, bad delivery. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Anyway, Like i said in my original post, I just did this for a friend, liked it and used it, and offered it up others to use.

    Reguardless, what you are trying to do is good, as I I've seen on many of the better 3D forums (cgtalk, etc) but you should work on your delivery...making it a little....less uppity?

    'I think its bad' >> 'I think this could be good if you improved some of these problems in the skin'.

    Constructive, not condecending.
