I will update this thread from time to time with stuff I have made. Please feel free to give comments and criticism. Criticism will just help me improve (if that is possible )

Anyways first thing to show you is my skin of the Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor from Star Wars. It was made in mind for the Empire at War game so ahs the fairly low resolutin/dimensions of 512 x 512. Also it is my very first skin. Model is by Dr. Nick. Also thanks to Nick and Kalo for advice and pointers while I was skinning this. I may post some other colour variant on here later. Also YES I know about the laser cannons on the skin. They need to be re-UV'd so I cna skin them properly. Right now they are jsut using a leftover part of stretched texture.





Now for what I'm more prminent at. Maps for Empire at War. IF you want more pics of certain planets feel free to ask.

Ord Mantell





Felucia





Ukio





Poderis



Bothaiwu





I have lots more maps with varying terrains and nature settings but I don't feel like digging through my PhotoBucket atm.

For a first skin, the Actis is amazing. As I said on your thread on the SWR forum, I definitely like Ord Mantell the best out of your maps - filling a map with props can easily feel crowded and, well, unskilled, but the way you've pulled it off there is anything but, and I love the diversity of the debris you've used. Of the other more 'conventional' maps, I'm particularly liking Poderis - it actually reminds me a lot of the first Rebel mission from Force Commander (escaping from the prison on the devastated ruins of Kalaan City), and it has a lot of atmosphere. Were I to have a criticism, it would be that the arrangement of trees in the last image is very unnatural; but the more I look at it, the more I think I'm looking at a landscaped garden! Am I right? If so, I would encourage a few walls around the perimeter and a clearer road to the house. If not, I'd suggest you thin out the trees and make it sloped instead of stepped in at least a couple of instances, because otherwise it kind of reminds me of a botanical version of Minas Tirith.

that model and skin do look good

more detail on the skin i'd say but apart from that it's nice

[Kalo]

I think you should keep skinning things, you've obviously got talent for it.

[WNxMastrefubu]

that skin looks very good, uve got talent.

[Enceladus]

Yeah JB. That pic fo Bothaiwu was meant to be a terraced hill in a more natural fashion. I would put walls but there's nto exactly a prop that would fit the scene. :(

Anyways small skin update. I added a bit more to the rear part of the wings and bottom.

Anakin's Eta-2 Actis-class





Also some different colour variants.

Obi Wan's Eta-2 Actis-class



Mace Windu's Eta-2 Actis-class



Imperial Eta-2 Actis-class



Eta-2 Actis-class based off of a Star Wars Galaxies Picture



For the last one painted areas and droid colours could be manipulated based on team colour.

Weren't there stone walls on Naboo, or were they all part of the structures on that map?

[Enceladus]

There were. They're ugly as hell but I'll see how they look when I have some time to go back and look at that map.

[Kalo]

Oh nice. right on the money with the red one.

[Dauth]

This stuff is excellent mate, keep up the good work.

[Pav:3d]

Nice skin varients there, I would suggest sharpening the skins up a bit

[Enceladus]

Some more stuff to throw up on here.

Mace Windu's Eta-2 Actis-class ingame. The jagged lines, blurriness and black lines in some areas can be blamed on the ingame picture taking fail called Xfire.





Next up is my skin of the V-19 Torrent starfighter from STar Wars. This still ahs some work to be done on it though. The model is by Guardsman. However the areas where the textures are stretched (ie. around cockpit and edges of wings) are going to be narrowed down so you will not see any of those horrid gradients. Also please note that the paint is the same colour in all areas and it is jsut the lighting that is making it appear darker on the wings.

[WNxMastrefubu]

V-19 torrent was great, good job

[Wizard]

Even with those errors you've mentioned, it's still a fantastic skin job.

[CommanderJB]

Agreed with the two above; the Torrent is by far my favourite of the fighters you've posted so far. You've got the colour mix down to a science and it's very sharp, particularly on the wings.

[Pav:3d]

That torrent looks great, that cockpit needs some work tho

[Enceladus]

My first attempt at something infantry(ish). The B1 Battle Droid. Model by Codeuser and skin is 512 x 512.

[Kalo]

Not sure if want...

[Enceladus]

Some newer pictures of the V-19 Torrent:





Now for something new. The I-7 Howlrunner. Model is by Kalo. The skin si once again 512 x 512 pixels.

[Gen.Kenobi]

AWESOME dude!
V-19 is truly awesome!

The droid could use a better work on the weapon, since it looks too small for he.

[Pav:3d]

Those looks great, cockpit glass needs work tho

[Camille]

the torrent looks damn sweet! everything about it is nice and crisp.

as for that howlrunner thing, that is an absolutely disgusting model, sorry it needs a lot of work.
