Reskinning Player Models - Page 2

Hmm. The 1.0 skins still seem unecessarily colorful, certainly moreso than the skins I'm working on. Also, I completely forgot how the soldier's camo was originally grey like in his TFC incarnation! That explains why his texture was just a recoloring of everything (even the areas not used by the mesh)...

Who honestly felt these had to be made brighter in the first place? :P

People were having difficulty distinguishing teams at a distance, especially with the soldier.

I guess that's why the soldier's camo became fully colored, then. It's tricky to remain relatively true to the TFC models whilst still keeping them distinguishable. The old models had very little teamcoloring and the new ones were a mishmosh of camouflage at afar.

Regardless, I'm going to release an early version of the reskins later today. Don't expect anything spectacular, of course. I think for future versions I'll not only work on the colors but also improve various other inconsistencies, such as the Soldier's facial scar not being as visible with his red (or was it yellow) skin.

The soldier mdl fails all together, i don't like that mesh of a camo he has, i rather have him look like old tfc soldier. Also as far as his face goes, check out partials zombie face, also jesters, both are pretty much the same, so just go to jesters modding section to see what im talking about, i have been using ever since they made those face skins, look bad ass in-game. The engy rly needs a over haul too, he needs to look older and mean, now he has that light baby skin face, lol.

Hehe, the FF Engineer does look like a prick. So did the old TFC model, but not as badly. I don't like the new TFC model of him. He has an unecessary tan and this creepy baby face.

Yea old engy owned new engy in tfc mdl wise, having all new look for FF would have been cool too, imo, like keep all the classes of course, but a new look be cool, i was thinking like maybe make demoman black guy, scout a asian maybe, heck i dunno, but you get the point. Just some random thoughts rly.

No feedback? :\

I know it's a rather small tweak, but still. How does everybody feel about its overall clarity?
