Marc15yo 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Hi. I don't have much Modeling skills especially not with flashpoint models. i barely even know how a p3d file works. but There is one thing i can familiarize with, tga files. I'm gonna make a reskin of many addons/mods vehicles. I'm gonna pick a few that i think should be re-done. I was hoping someone who knows how to do this could maybe help me out making the addons work in-game and be compatible with other mods. Right Now i chose the "M1A1" model From the MCM SLX modification. First off it's nor Really an M1A1, if you look carefully it's an M1A2. I decided to Reskin the one from the slx mod because it has all those nice equipments which make it look really nice and realistic. Also What i've noticed is that this model is basically the same as the Flashpoint ones in terms ov UV coordinates meaning the skins i make will probably work with the original actual m1a1 that Flashpoint has. Skin Changes: 1) The resolution was pretty low (256 on average) so i raised and double it to save and add more detail. 2) Alot of new Detail things that were not there before on the old template 3) it's an improved more realistic woodland. Up Next is The Desert Varient and maybe winter varient. After i'm done with the M1A2 i will re-skin the btr-80. Also i don't have permission yet to release any of this stuff but i'll ask. Here are The Images. (Note: i don't have a good computer but to make this stuff look presentable i set the resolution to high and view distance and a few settings) and sorry i wasn't able to remove that annoying marker cuz i don't know how. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums....7-4.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums....7-3.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums....-51.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums....7-2.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums....-53.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums....7-1.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums....-52.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums....-55.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echo1 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Looks nice, but cut down those picture sizes, or turn them into links, because those pictures are well over the 100kB image limit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marc15yo 0 Posted June 4, 2008 I haven't updated in a long long time. well i don't have any updated abrams to show you yet. But i have decided to work on something even better. The Battle over Hokkaido Mod has a v-107 which is basically a ch-46 for the Japanese military. i've reskinned it into a ch-46. I haven't finished yet. i have to get rid of those japanese markings. so this is still a WIP. when i'm finished i'm hoping someone could somehow transfer them to the west side for the USA and maybe even make it as a standalone addon. I forgot to raise up the resolution of the textures. this means i'ts gonna have to stay the way it is. here it is, hope you guys like it. (this time i didn't forget about the bandwitdth thing) http://i156.photobucket.com/albums....1-1.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums....-26.jpg More images: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums....-25.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums....-27.jpg Edit: completely forgot to mention, i would also need a basic coder to make not just the ch-46 but other of my reskins as stand-alones so they are compatible with other mods. peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1052 Posted June 4, 2008 Marc15yo Both of the images were over 100kb (again). Since you're pretty new I decided to oversee it this time. Next time you hotlink an image over 100kb you receive 1 WL for each image. Maybe it's a good idea to get familiar with our forum rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

capitancrunk 0 Posted July 3, 2008 hey marc15. you have alot of potential with the reskin of some of these addons. aside from the ch46 (which looks very good) you can help out with some other USMC addons like TOWs AAV. i know somebody tried it before and kind of just left it hanging.... but what im really interested in is maybe we can work together and try to reskin some of the USMC infantry addons, its erks me how inaccurate they are. lets combine our knowledge and try to make some great addons.
