C&P from another forum so bear with me



I've been reskinning things for yonks, but I've never actually made a skin from scratch off a bare UV; this is my first attempt. I found this model floating around the skinning/UV forum and figured it was about time I gave it a try, thanks whoever uploaded it (I have a memory like a sieve). Funnily enough, it's turning out remarkably like Tripwire's RO skins (furniture even seems to match the shade of the Kar98K's)... guess that's what I get for playing too much RO...?

Think that's as far as I'll get tonight. I do quite hate the huge difference between quality in PS and quality applied to the model, it went and blurred all my hours of slaving away over minute details http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/emot-argh.gif

The model is nice, but the wood texture is sort of cloudy. :\

Yeah, seeing to it. I've got a list of shit to do from Snaf.

Quite a bit, yes. Looks like it could use a few more details, perhaps like scars or more dirt or something along those lines.

Yes looks a lot better. The wood along the barrel doesn't look cloudy now.

Yeah, that's next on the to-do list.

what the fuck noob, you're using some shitty highlight technique but all you're doing is blotting out the wood detail. Use another layer (black and white highlights and shadows) and set it to overlay. Of course, you should really render a backed AO map and overlay that.

Sorry for the double post but here (http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=03377891743866299356) is a tutorial I found for baking AO on cdg.net by The Spork.

You can play with the settings and it will give you decent PS like renders. Just need to pump up the quality.

There's an AO map texturing tutorial that I posted in the Studio Help thread (sticky'd) that I thought was pretty good. Google around a bit.
