So, you're Saying that ConRed is dead then?

Jsut because he can't GET a skinner, dosn't mean he can't LEARN to do it himself.

My advice:
Do as much of the mod as possable (model teh units, export them, code them), and things toy can't do, try and learn to do them.

[Futschki]

ConRed Is An Exception Slye and Uve Been Making An Incredibly great work ... and tbh ur models was in better quality and ur mod was of a better Storyline ...

[Slye_Fox]

My models are only 'better quality' because the current ones have been remade many times as my modeling skills got better and better

[Sgt. Rho]

@Abourror: why shouldn´t someone be able to do an entire mod alone? what if he can skin, model, code etz?

Look at me, all i can´t is skinn very well and animating legs.

So what do i if i can´t skinn or animate? I learn it.

A mod leader can be skinner, modeler, coder, mapper, etz., can´t he?

@ Abourror,
Look at me, When i first got hosted, I'm a one man team. Now, I'm slowly building a mod team.

There's nothing wrong with being a one man team, Yeah its annoying to:

Model
Code
Uvmap your models
Re-rig infantries
Texture the models
make/edit some audio for your mod
make unit cameos and portraits from either butchering the current ones or from scratch
Balance your stuff on your own especially with the lack of proper internet
Play test your stuff using a laggy pc (even tho i have a new pc now )
Make Particles
Script the AI
Search Google for modding tutorials

.....CRAP, Did i do all that things i said above for the prototype and the current version of C&C Untitled?!?!?! ..Gee, I feel stupid now... !

But its rewarding and fun to see your "hardwork" come to life in ZH...while you learned some new skills to show off to your real life friends.

Yeah, coding is the most learnable part
but skinning is impossible for me!

That's What i thought a while ago.
If you can UVmap (which is quite easy) you can make basic skins.
Get textures of of googule and use them as part of your skins, UVmap your model around these textures.

eg:
 Civvie5.PNG (263.92K)
Number of downloads: 23



And eventually, your skins will get slightly more detailed as you learn new techneiqes.

eg:
 Convoy.PNG (142.49K)
Number of downloads: 27

[Axel of Sweden]

I can make decent textures

but i cant apply them right

I got the skin for STRV122 That i used in RoN lying around ,ive been trying to apply it whitout good result

I was using killasnod tutorial

[Sgt. Rho]

Don´t use that tutorial, its bullshit

get the dds-pugin for photoshop,open the ZH skins you need, and apply that then to the tanks´s skin.

€:What do you think, thinks everybody when he starts learning to skin? "Its impossible", NO IT ISN`T

I am now here for about +- 1 year, and lots of ppl can tell you how whit my first models and skinns where

But now, i am gettin better, here: (@Bob: remove it if it was a fault to post it, anyways, nobody knows what it is xD)  Snow_Skin.jpg (70.05K)

I dont have Photoshop but i got gimp

Is there any DDS plugin for gimp to?

i think so

[Golan]

Use DXTBmp to convert the files. It´s faster then loading up PS everytime anyways...

[Slye_Fox]

Get ChillieSkinner, it's vary helpfull in skinning and modeling in general

[Axel of Sweden]

I already have a DDS converter,

PS i want a quality tutorial

[Sgt. Rho]

Forget tutorials, they make problems, it is better to learn skin by yourself, like me. it might be slower, but at the end, the quality is higher

[Axel of Sweden]

You have filled my head with ideas, thanks i already have a plan, how to do it

Lets get back to topic

[Futschki]
