Taking skin requests (for practice purposes)

[The_Ferret]

I'm in the middle of a WWI mod project and I need some practice with skinning (otherwise my coding talents are useless until a hell of a lot later on)

So, if you want a skin doing, just describe it to me and I'll do my best. I'm actually quite good at skinning and it appears I have a nack for it, but I need practice in getting really detailed textures done. So the more you request the more you help me. I'll post your new skin as an attachment along with a screenshot so you can see how you like it. I'll probably have it done in a couple of days so fire away.

thanks in advance

how about something like this for the greek and Macedon factions http://sierratoysoldiers.com/catalog/s70036_-_crusaders_-_foot_soldier_with_battle_axe_3008609.htm

also for the same Factions how about a very strong beserker type swordsmen and greek and Macedon legions. and a stronger greek cavalry and greek chariot.

perhaps with the beserker type they could throw javelins like the legions and be covered in mud from head to toe with crazy face paint.

[The_Ferret]

Whoa, erm... ok. I'll do it. Be done in a day or two. (the crusader may take longer)

Just to mention that, as this is not a mod in development per se, I think that the General forum would be a better place for this kind of offer rather than the Forge.

A word of advice The_Ferret, there's a tendency for these kind of threads to be inundated with requests which overwhelm the person making the offer so very little is completed and lots of people get disappointed.

I would suggest that you make it very clear exactly what is and what is not possible (eg, what kind of requests would require modelling etc.), exactly which request you're working on, an estimated time of completion and what other requests you've accepted and the order in which you'll be doing them - just so everyone knows what's going on. And don't be afraid to turn someone down if they ask for something beyond your capabilities or you don't have the time. It'll be a lot better if they know straight away rather than being left waiting.

It might also be a good idea to post a picture of a skin that you've already done so people get an idea of the sort of thing you're offering.

Good luck - and all help is appreciated for the WYSIWYG Graphic Correction Pack (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=46060), which looks to make minor modifications to existing skins in order to bring them into line with their stats.

[The_Ferret]

Thanks for the advice. If you want to take any skins for your pack thingy feel free. Also, all your advice will be fully utilised. starting with... Steve, I can make you'r crusader, but it wont have a nose-guard. otherwise, OK.

[The_Ferret]

Here we are steve enjoy. If it isn't to your satisfaction, tell me. they are equipped with moderatly powerful Javelins, and a quite powerful Sword. (I hope you appreciate it, the chainmail nearly killed me :dizzy2: )

Moved the thread, it isn't a mod in development... (read my sig :wink:)

Ferret, feel like doing a skin for the Wheel of Time total war...

I've made some models, but at the moment they have no skins... interested?

[SwordsMaster]

How about this one (http://www.ugopozzati.it/images/Tercio.jpg)

:bow:

[The_Ferret]

@Myrddraal, Yep, i'm interested, what do you want them to look like? :bow:

@SwordsMaster, Whoa, erm, I'll try :help:

[The_Ferret]

Ack! double post! sorry! ~:eek:

Anyway, I just realised I'm in a couple of mods and I'm keeping my head above water (and still offering this service)... I may be a natural at this! ~:cool: *major ego boost*

[SwordsMaster]

@Myrddraal, Yep, i'm interested, what do you want them to look like? :bow:

@SwordsMaster, Whoa, erm, I'll try :help:


It would be great, I'm finishing that model now, so It would fit perfectly. You dont have to do the flag ~D

[The_Ferret]

Ok, it'd be easier for me if you sent me the models... I cant do much until then if you have a model that you need the skin on. e-mail me the models when they're done. e-mail is in an above post.

[steve]

[SwordsMaster]

[The_Ferret]

Seems like you're going well :thumbsup:
Here's a list of the extant skins that are planned to be redone for the WYSIWYG pack - minor changes really, nothing that should take more than an hour or so.

Dacian/Thracian Falxmen
Night Raiders
