Better than I could do (by far!), but still a bit bald <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Good to see that so many people want to give it a try <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

I hope the maps are OK, I kinda rushed them :/

Its a nice metal and good for a first, let me show you some tips:

Use the dodge tool sparingly around the edges of the model, makes it look like its been worn around the edges a bit. After your done, use the contrast adjustment to make the skin show out better so its not so washed out and you can see the edges. Use the burn tool on the end of the barrel and go back with the dodge tool and keep switching them back and forth till you get a nice burn at the end of the barrel, adds even more to the worn look of the skin. Lighting is important too, any grooves in the metal, you might want to go back with the burn tool and lightly go over the edge where the light would cast over it to make it look like theres a slight shadown on it.

Some screws and bolts would look neat too, theres a tutorial <a href='http://st.burst.cc/tut_trunks2.htm' target='_blank'>here</a> that will show you how to do that. If you did that, you could be a really good skinner with practice <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

*edit* Also try to download some grunge brushes, they usually come with scratches made and they look alot better than the circle brush <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

The refrence looks like it has a light blue hue to it on the picture ;D

axman · April 2005

Obst · April 2005

Hm, perhaps change the colour of the "bags" where the barrels connect to the main body (so it doesn't look too metallic) and skin on some stuff on the sides of the main body so it doesn't look too bald <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

axman · April 2005

hahah im gonna sound retarded but what is the bag like whats it do and stuff lol im not to good with guns and stuff

Obst · April 2005

I don't know the perfect word for it in terms of guns neither, so I thought of what it looked like the most: a bag ^^. Sorry for the confussion, my fault.

Anyway:

axman · April 2005

umm still wasnt sure what the bags were so i made them into um idk WTH i did but anyway... the stuff on the body i added sum pipes or electric or something idk what it is either and i added like lines or whatever grooves i guess... i tryed the latter the bottom looked cool but due to the skin map it would widen half of the top one and make it look bad well anyway what i jsut said prolly makes no sense so here look what needs to be done?

<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>/EDIT: yeah idk if these renders r to big for u n stuff but they take up like 2/3rds of my screen and i run res at 1600x1200 on a 17 inch monitor..... i need a bigger one... sumone buy me a new one now!!!!!</span></span>

Obst · April 2005

Which game?
The reference I linked is a about NavyField, the model itself is for NS.

BulletHead · April 2005

...

those "bags" cover the holes in which the turret guns move up and down, thus preventing corrosive SALT WATER from entering- they are rubbery and very thick, resiliant, and can last for many years before needing replaced

c'mon... you should know that...

Obst · April 2005

I know what the "bags" are for, but not the precise term for it. I guess "bag" ain't the official term for it....

kill4thrills · April 2005

i think those "bags" are called sleeves

slayerkl2 · April 2005

who cares i jsut want this baby done. excellent work obst.

Obst · April 2005

SkinnY seems to be AFK for some longer time now :/
