[Samno]

This is it! Get your custom race skins here!
     I am basing this thread on the great fan fan-art thread in the fan art section, Players who don't like something about a race, or think it could be improved, can post request in this thread, results will be either pmed to you or  posted on the thread for all, depending on your wishes, please don't pass off any artists work as your own.

This is a list of people who you may specifically request a skin from, if you wish to be added to it Pm me about it.
-samno



Please include in your requests,
-Race
-Male or female
-what style you would like to be edited, e.g. fenki clamod or gray kran
-armor types to be edited (base, leather, chain-mail, plate)
-body parts to be edited (foot, head, arm, etc...)
-any jewelry or skin specific textures, such as rings necklaces or clothing designs.

Please don't tell me that I should be submitting my creations to the devs.

[Kieve]

I have to say, I'd really been hoping to see something like this turn up at some point.
No request from me, per se, but I definitely look forward to seeing what turns up.

[Prolix]

I'd like to see a radioactive kran...or rather luminous.

[Pizik]

I first want to appologise to the original creator of this skin ;op

Nearest to 'radioactive' I could get in 5 mins Prolix ;o)

[Tuathanach]

Can you try a
Male Lemur- full body in leather armour - from the dermorian skin I guess it will have to be

Thanks

P.S. Remember it is a Lemur so only the best quality of clothes or armour is worn 

[khoridor]

I'd like to see some worn out armors, especially leather ones. Maybe even quality 1/50 

[thorgrin]

Golden swords 
Would like to see steel heavy armor, the yellowish actual is nice, but how would it look in steel color?
Black chainmail, for the bad guys 
More cloth choices...
Hmm, I wonder It would be nice to have special skins for Collectibles, like embossed swords, etc.

[Shaman]

That kran looks freaking awesome...why isn't that ingame?

[Samno]

I'll start taking on some of these requests as soon as I get my client working,
    Thorgrin, I can't add armors or races, all I can do is edit textures, and to edit all the textures for every race male and female would take quite a while, I could probably change the colors fairly easily, but I have yet to figure out how to turn something black.

As for special collectible skins, you can request in your post that I PM you the download so it's only yours and you can share it with whoever.

again I won't be able to get you this stuff until I fix my client

[Shaman]

The gray-blue Klyros would be nice. The green part of its skin turns gray, the red part turns blue. I think that's already in the planning, but I think it'd be nice to see beforehand.

[Caarrie]

Samno if you would like to upload some of your skins to the ps3dmods svn repro please pm me for futher info on this.

For all making requests keep in mind that new skins per race cant be 100% made due to shared races, so for example it would be nice to see a new klyros female skin but since they use the male skin, there is no way to make sure ONLY the females use the new skin .

[Pizik]

The actual process of changing a skin is pretty straight-forward, however, as Samno says, to create a new armor  (it would -modify- an existing skin, we have no ability to add completely new designs without removing a design currently in game) for all the races it would be a difficult task.

@Shaman: The Kran skin isn't in game because I made it a couple of minutes before posing it, glad you like it though ;o)

Just to make a clarification, if you edit a skin in this way, it is only visible to you and anyone else who you have given the mod to. The other drawback, is that if you change a sword skin to give it an 'embossed' texture, then all swords of that type would also look like it, we are only able to replace a texture, not add a new one. To add a new one would need entries in the PS database.

[Prolix]

That is a nice green kran, perhaps some kind of serpentine. Of course if you want it to glow you probably need to add an internal light source but a glow map might suffice.

[Samno]

I'm starting work on dwarven, elven, and human armor, any special patterns would be appreciated.

[Arerano]

It's actually some "trying something out" attempt.
Kran is a fascinating race.. and well, see for yourself:

I think red/orange would possibly have looked more interesting
