This thread is now about kick-ass Camo-based skins.



Sometimes, Skaarj armor isn't so warm. Sometimes, HEV suits are too stifling. haha

Ever since I found this program - Bright - that converts BMP to PCX format with no quality loss whatsoever, I've been more interested in making stuff that doesn't look washed out once used. Great thing it is.

i never played U1 tough. but i do reconise the models that were imported into UT.

Might take a look into it some day

Thats an webcam picture of your face, aint it ..
lol sorry ;p

[jaypeezy]

Lol. I would not at all mind some legit facial hair. Nah, it's a character from another game, "Half-Life." I'm surprised it was able to fit the model so well.

That Skaarj is pretty sweet!

Unreal 1??? It's time you guys do a post like this.

Now I have changed my skin to a skarjj.

To be honest here, I got the idea when I was flipping through some in-game shots of yours; I noticed that full-body camo Skaarj skin you made, and wanted to make something similar in a slightly photo-realistic urban camo version. Thanks for the inspiration!

More edited.

I got 2 camo Skaarj a long time back, one city & one jungle. I team colored them with simple tint alterations... but I can't take credit for the skin itself. Just the team colors.

I don't know who orignally made it.

Can't leave out the tiger-stripes!



Jungle and desert. I think I'll be re-doing one of the two; can ya guess which one?
edit: Re-done Jungle for comparison purposes.

Pretty much came up with and finished this today. I think this might be my favorite one so far... then again, that's what I said after the first urban guy... and then the jungle tiger stripes... and, here I am. I don't know, blue and silver just *work* together.


This is just a (joke) place-holder for the gold team color. I did it for the hell of it, but I want something else for the gold slot as well as for the red one, as my aim WAS to make an all-urban camo skin pick but then decided that different patterns/base skaarj skins for each tc might be more interesting.

So, if any of you awesome people read this, please offer suggestions! What sort of camo - other than urban, jungle-tiger stripe, or bubbley camo - should I try and work in?

In your initial post you mention a loss of quality in going from BMP to PCX !
How?
Both formats are "lossless" formats.
Any program that can open/load or save/export these, should do it with zero change of quality, unless the user reduces the colours.

I am curious what you were using before?

[jaypeezy]

I was just saving GIMP files as .PCX format, but when I would open them in UEd 2.0 (UT99) they would come out with significant, notable color/quality loss.

Using this batch file I got that converts bmp to pcx files, I think it's called Bright, has resolved this problem.
