DKM Jaguar 0 Posted September 23, 2006 I don't think many people are making "jabs" as much as giving advice and suggestions in a non-flattering, matter-of-fact kind of a way. It's interesting to read this and see changes rather quickly. It does almost feel like a unit making tut. It may be for another game, but it's still info on wrinkles. Another good one was a flag "wrinkles" tutorial I saw at ofp.info I "think". Same principles. http://www.ghostrecon.net/html/skin-tutorial.htm I read this post, and I agreed completely. Then I read: Quote[/b] ]Make up your damn mind... Wasn't very useful, was it? On topic: Sled88, the information you have been offered in this thread is from some of the top unit texture artists I know of, Ebud and Pathy just to name two. I hope you will read what is being said carefully and apply it to your own unit, you will eventually see the results and be very happy with it, the unit will look a lot better. However, this will take time and effort, and you can't expect it to start looking like some of the best units in the game in a couple of days. A year or two ago I posted about my first proper attempt at making an addon almost from scratch, the M113 ADATS. By far the majority of the posts in response were praise, yet few offered any techincal advice on how to bring my addon up to scratch. The response you have gotten is the complete opposite, and shows the community has come a long way. Value the information you are being given and use it.

Sled88 0 Posted September 23, 2006 ok here the update... The quality i wanted to reach in this units was reached a while ago for me... Maybe you don't like the units but it is enough for me for my first addon! Left: The Squad Leader (light) and right the Sniper (light) I will go on with the weapons now... I will use Jackals Weaponpack... I got permission to rip the needed weapons and to modifie them! The so needn't dl the hole SJB pack again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pathy 0 Posted September 23, 2006 It's beginning to look better, although there is still not much detailing beyond the pattern - the woodland pattern just tends to hide it more.** Why not try and use the seams as natural seems - put stitches along them, ect. That way, the join in the texture is barely noticeable. You still need to work on the shadows. Look at similar clothes you own, look at how the material is cut, the detail, the shadows. That is what you want to create! Use the tute on shadows that Ebud gave you. The flag one was originally from elsewhere, but Messiah redid it in his own words and put it up at UKF for you lot (cheeky git didnt even credit the original tute lol....(busted!) http://www.pukf.net/forum/index.php?page=8 This one (well, the original) is what i formed the basis of how i draw creases from, although i do alot of things differently to suit my own technique. But thats what its all about. Take all the hints and tips you get and use them in ways you feel competant and comfortable with yourself. With alot of practice and playing about, you'll eventually hit quite a high level of quality, so keep plugging at it. **i tend to draw my shadows and creases onto a plain light green or even white background, then put the camo in behind that layer, because its much harder to get shadows looking good on plainer, lighter colours - the idea being that if i can get it looking spot on against a white background, it'll look awesome against a camo background. Anyway, any help you need... I'm off to celebrate my 21st some more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
