Looking for something to entertain? Take up clothesmaking...

Inspired by Mogura\'s excellent guide, I decided to put some warmer clothes on .



This is me in my new outfit (it\'s still a bit rough though). What do you think? the chains suspiciously look a bit like lace, but I\'m working on that... and a few other issues.

Thanks to Mogura for the idea, and Draklar for the above screencap.

Wow! It looks great.

[Moogie]

Brilliant work! Here\'s hoping to see more designs in the future. *raises glass*

[Xalthar]

good work it\'s nice to see some new skins..

[Poynter]

Looks good, but loose the gloves - they make her look like a biker...

[Ghosts|QuickStar]

ahh so thats what u ment when u said \"bardon you cant see what i can see\"

Definantly a top-notch skin.

[Ayshe]

Final textures for the Enkidukai females (the four colours are a lot closer to the original skins, and I spent a lot more attention to shading and detail)




Not as medaieval as I would have liked but I think they look ok

Comments appreciated

[Moogie]

Beautiful, I hope developers take notice.

I like the dual bier steins... a very nice touch...

[Moogie]

I wonder where the content of those jugs went :rolleyes:

Cool skins, i  especially like the claw print on the back of the second one, shame it doesnt fit the normal shape so wont work with changing skins :/ still, id rather use yours and alter all four


Well while this is up heres something i made a while back, ignore the head I was messing about, but the clothes are imo pretty good, didnt use as many original textures as i would have liked to though. Its basically the swordsman outfit from ragnarok

Actually, the major part of the design was writing software to alter the lib file that does the skin shapes

The skin is fully functional. I changed the clothing mask file -  meaning that it displays properly for all 16 possible combinations

Don\'t believe me? Check out these two pics, of the lighter skinned fur with two different coloured clothes


Aren\'t I just a clever kitty

Ayshe\'s quick and dirty 7 step skinning guide

•  Alter mask
• Use mask to paint basic flat texture on skin, edit out areas of clothing that become skin. Use as close to original colours as possible, since these are the colours people chose to appear on their avatar in the Planeshift world.
• Add a layer of armor or whatever. For this texture I made a single metal ring, cut parts out for linkages and copied it over and over.
• Add layer of neat touches, things that emphasise the armour
• Add a layer of detail, little personal things that give the skin character
• Add a final layer of shading and highlights - most important to avoid a flat looking model.

Repeat steps 2 - 6 for the other three skins

Step 7 is the killer - convert the mask file (step 1) into an XML file. View racelib.xml to see what must be done.
