Monster skins

[M4CGYV3R]

Hi! Really nice skins, Sean
Why you use those strangely stretched images in your previews?
This one, not this one (What is your monitor configuration?)

I really like the right ogre's face. It's different. Reminds me the Predator's face, without the jaw-claws.

I don't like his tattoo, though.

Thank you for your excellent wizard-sean!

I removed the hidef textures to take the screenshot. I really like the free depth of field effect of the zoomed image and the mix of Quake eras.

Those are some sweet skins seanstar.
You have a good eye for putting extra detail in that isn't in the original, but looks like it should be

well for a few monsters nobody has sadly made any hi-poly replacements yet

Oh, OK. I saw the ones that wound up in 'Shambler's Castle' and I assumed that one of the guys here had kicked one out.

I wouldn't mind doing an Ogre, but I've got half a dozen projects on the go at the minute so I don't want to promise anything to anyone.

Thanks for the kind words!

Hi

Hope you like the skins=P thank you for the comments.


That scrag might get some teeth and i've made some really cool alt scrag skins that are green degraded all over. They have green glowing eyes, I'm planning a four scrag set with two Rouhis new and two classic model with the new skins.

my desktop is 5760x1080 across three monitors...my true love, eyefinity=P

They new skins look a little stretched, when I was making the skin at 2048x1024...in game the skin looked a little blurry, so i went to 2048x2048 and sharpened a bit, in game the resulting detail level became easily more obvious.

a new ogre model...that would be awesome!

oh yeah, that would be totally fucking awesome, if you'd make a new ogre tea monster!

im totally excited to see what you are gonna make, cuz your model always look amazing

Hi

ive been reworking the knight skins a little, mostly the horns and spikes.

edit
my new textures are going to be all jpeg except dds for norms...this seems like the best solution when i look at size versus quality, i can't use tga files with this many large textures.


check back soon for the four hell knights skin set=P

wohoo, cant wait till you relase those skins, especially that unreal inspired one looks totally epic



dun like jpeg though. cuz jpeg always gets artifacts and quality-loss. and tga has superb quality, plus it is the texture-type that loads fastest in darkplaces
its small in file-size but i dont like it at all cuz of the quality-loss and the artifacts it gets all the time cuz of fail compression

copy&paste from darkplaces readme on dp website

Formats supported: tga (recommended), png (loads very slowly), jpg (loads slowly), pcx, wal, lmp

ah well, ill fix that myself and convert them to tga myself.

anyways, cant wait till you release those skins
and im also looking forward to when you finally release the ogre-skins <3

Thank you, Sean, for all your answers
I don't get used to multimonitor configurations for gaming but, this time, it looks really nice

Cheers

Here are some bone samples you may like to make textures from for the Ogre.http://www.mediafire.com/file/e7hqo5...oms-france.zip

[talisa]

cools! thanx sean, even now without norms and gloss and such i already totally love this new hellknight <3

and im totally making it standard for my dp setup <3

@splitterface


that's great...i hope to have some monsters ready tomorrow.


The dds textures do degrade a bit but jpegs not that really much at all.

With normals in dds can save bigtime when they're 2048x2048 and only 5 megs.

here's how one tgs scales vs a dds dtx3.


the trade of is there but not bad if only on the norm.
