Hoplite Bumper Sticker: Skin Me!

Well folks...for such a simple little craft, it should have arrived a long time ago.

SOOOOO, without further adieu, I present to you the official Hoplite "SKIN ME" contest. The file is available at the link below.

Post ONLY contest submissions in this thread.

Please ONLY post a download link to your submission in this thread. If you have any comments or concerns please address them here:

DEADLINE: Jan 1st.

http://files.filefront.com/Hoplite_S.../fileinfo.html

What is included:

- .max file (version 7) that showcases the Hoplite in both the stand fixed idle position as well as the full velocity flight position.

- .tif files with reference layers highlighting the UV-mapping

- bitmap and shader files

- a Hoplite .scenery tag

If you are fortunate enough to have 3DSMax at your disposal, you are free to re-UV map anything you like. If you do not have Max you can play with the .tif files in PS (or similar program) using the standing UV mapping and check your work with the .scenery tag in either Sapien or ingame. If you like my placeholders and you would simply like to finish them off, you have my permission to do that as well (I am not acting as a judge so this will not receive a bias vote. :D)

The standing Judges panel includes:

Reaper Man
dg945
Hunter (contestant or judge, let me know in a PM?)
[H2V]Trace
Patrickssj6
Snafubar
Tweek

Judges: I will be contacting you via PM next weekend concerning the judging process.


The contest winner will have the dubious honor of having his/her skins applied to the final release of the Hoplite.

Good luck and good skinning!

Definately entering.

I'll enter and see what happens.

Reserved for my entry :)

What version of 3ds max was used? I can only use 7 and below, no 8.

I'm looking for some good ones!

ONE issue I thought about last night...if you are planning on re mapping the vehicle, it would make my life a lot easier if you had the actaul model complete with nodes and markers. That way if you have remapped it and your skin wins, I don't have to go back and merge/re-link the nodes and markers.

So, if you are going to re-UVmap the vehicle let me know through a PM and I will send you an address where you can DL a complete model.

i swear the skin its got is good enough already

I looked at the uv map and it is not very optimized at all. It only looks great now because you have nothing to compare it to.
