Slider Skin - Spoiled Meat
Community Forums/Graphic Chat/Slider Skin - Spoiled Meat|

| Some folks may remember that I was doing a skin for a model called Slider (made by Chad "cep" Pearn).  Well, I'm now skinning the version I modified (so it had proper UVs and half-decent boots for a change- and I did do it with his permission).  Anyhow, work in progress shots of mr. Spoiled Meat himself:     |

| disgusting!! ^^ bravo! |

| Nice... but noel, I reakon you should work at 1024x1024 then downsize with sharpen. | 
| 
 | ||
| Blood: I've tried that method before.  It wasn't to my liking.  Skinning actual res works best for me. | 
| 
 | ||
| Same here, i think the resolution can/should be higher, or look sharper some. | 
| 
 | ||
| Keep this in mind while posting: resolution isn't changing, so don't bother. Now comment on the actual work and not the resolution -_- | 
|

| For the res, its great. Though i dont get what the black part on the side of the torso, under the armpit? Is it just a hole in there? | 
| 
 | ||
| It wasn't painted yet in that shot.  This is it so far:   |

| Thats cool. The only way I can do skins is by taking the top left part of the skin, the map and taking it into something like Fireworks, and colouring it ... BUt I always find it hard to get things to line up. you on the other hand dont seem to have the same problem. Id love to see a tutorial from you m8. |

| Pretty good Noel. What programs are you using (for 2d and 3d i mean)? | 
| 
 | ||
| Yavin: No idea what Fireworks is like, but whatever works for you is best.  As for a tutorial, I'll consider it.  At the moment, I'm jumping between techniques- right now I'm screwing around with greyscale painting- which is nice since you can get the luminosity and specular right from the beginning, but then you have a pain in the ass time coloring. Lenn: For 2D I use Photoshop 7.0. For 3D I switch between various programs. I use 3d Studio Max r3.1 and Wings3D the most at the moment (mainly 'cause that's all I have aside from Blender, 3d Exploration, and the like), but I'm considering buying either Silo or saving up some more cash and buying XSI Foundations (I love both, but I won't buy both 'cause if I get one I won't use the other too often.. in any case, I need a replacement for my old as hell copy of 3ds). |

| I think I can handle the art side of things, what I really need is a good tutorial on how to take a model and create its uvmap so that I can then pain the skin. I can do it basic in Max 5, box mapping with some tweaks, but thats not so good for characters. | 
| 
 | ||
| cool. I don't get how to do curves in Wings. I know how to use tweak, but thats about it. :( |
