Junkeh strikes back!...

Well, here's another fresh thread (I don't really like bumping old threads) of my incredibly slowly developing skinning skills. This time with a render (still learning how to render though, so, um, it's not really a good render) of the skin! Hurrah for Junkeh!

Issues:

• Render is kind of boxy. Bleh.
• Starting on the body a bit. Still have a long way to go for even a first-pass. Arm-portion is, um, pretty rough.
• Eyes need to be more, um, eye-like.
• Stubble looks weird. (probably need to shade it)
• Hair sucks (but that's okay, because I'm getting rid of the hair)

tis a shame that i know nothing about skins to give an honest/educated opinion :sad:

but i have to say, that if Neanderthals wore camo, they'd prolly look like this..

in a crude way, i like it, and if i still fragged, I'd be happy to wander around tossin a few MP5's with this skin displayed :biggrin:

Least it's not Tyrone Jenkins :biggrin:

This is looking better already I can tell the remake will look tons better. If you want to make the skin seem a bit more defined you could use the sharpness tool set to about 3% intensity. It will bring out the lines you already started. Just be careful of the white outs. The green shoulder pads could use a little grain to them. You could do that with the grain filter but, I use a bit different method to for grain. I made a brush that just has specs of dirt and dust. Then I just add multiply to the mode and paint on a little dust. If your going for clean try and make the color your painting with about 4 shades lighter. That way when you use Multiply at 15 % intensity there is not a drastic change. If you want I can send you the brush I use for grain.

His hair looks like wood.

The skin looks pretty good, but the render...

I've seen uber worse skins in professional games, so I give it 1 and a half thumbs up. The fact I've grossly disfigured myself in the process has to tell you its not bad :wink:

As Fox1 said, the shoulder pads look too smooth and shiny compared to the rather detailed armour and face, which holds the whole thing back. I think the whole thing will look a ton better once the hair is gone too. Perhaps you could tinker with the model to make it short hair / skinhead? Personally I think the stubble looks good, and therefore you could prolly pull off a decent skinhead :smile:

(ReNo- Shoulder pads haven't been started yet- read the caption in the first piccy :razz: ).

I kinda like his eyes... I've always had a thing for people with grey eyes... It's just cool. But they look a bit too dead at the moment... Generally the pupil is much darker/a little bit larger... Other than that, looks a helluva lot better. Nice work.

My pupils are huge almost all of the time, which is quite strange according to my optician. And I have no idea why I didn't notice that caption monqui, I read the whole post thoroughly before posting. Silly me.

same here. its a sign of stress... or narcotics!
from that you should have
a rapid pulse, weak appetie, low energy/day time sleepyness, and a good intuition. thats what im told anyway.

Since we're on the topic of eye-oddities, have excessively oily eyes. It's really great when I get this pocket of oil forming underneath a little membrane on my eyes and can't shut/open 'em without pain until it either breaks (it's painless at that point, so it's not too bad) or subsides. My opticion has no idea why it does that... but it makes it a pain in the ass to wear contacts (they get all gummed up real fast).

It's starting to slow down as time goes on, I haven't had it happen in a few months now. I'll blame puberty.

That's disgusting.

I can make my eyes vibrate ever so slightly. It's the greatest party trick ever, and very easily grosses people out. The ultimate weapon.

So can I :biggrin:

ditto, only not slightly, i can make them vibrate quite noticeably..

How does one find out if they can vibrate their ears?

Probably the best part of having an ability like that is watching other people who can't do it try to imitate you. :biggrin:

I'm sure it is, you FREAKISH MUTANT.

:biggrin:

actually, i have never met another with this ability, so i have never witnessed it, looking at oneself in the mirror is a no-no i can assure you..

Eww! Disgusting!

Anyway... I can vibrate my eyes a little, but not really enough to gross people out. But for some reason, at the same time I vibrate them, I flare my nostrils and I look pretty stupid.

.gifs please! :smile:

Yer I can make my eyes shivver... actually I learnt how to do it off Lep. I remember him and his m8 used to do it and I always wanted to, and I worked out its basically doing a muscle spasm in your eye. Like when you make you leg vibrate or hand vibrate (don't twist the meaning) you just do the same with your eye muscles... Looks really freaky and yes, its a good party trick :biggrin:

eye oddities eh?



one of my corneas looks like no.1 (side view) instead of looking like no.2 and I have 28 stiches in my other eye holding a new cornea in till it grafts properly (had them in 9-10 months sofar 2 or so to go till they pull them out (the stiches i mean))

i would never let anyone near my eyes with a needle. NEVER. but i know someone who had the same thing done, if they look to the left ya can see a kinda patch.
that eye shiver is R.E.M (rapid eye movement). some can do it others cant. its where the band got their name :biggrin:

now that we have firmly established that snarkpit is indeed populated by freaks..

never ceases to amaze me how threads wander around here

had a friend in high school who had perforated eardrums since birth, a defect of sorts.....he wasnt alowed to swim, but he'd take a drag off a cigarrette, and the smoke would come shooting out his ears like it would if you exhaled.....yeah, a cool party trick, but he couldnt get a date to save his ass... .....

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

I don't think that's the same thing. REM occurs when you sleep, and - if you had your eyes open - would look a lot creepier.

yea, ur right, R.E.M seams to be restricted to sleep, but isint this the same thing, bar that your awake and not dreaming? its still a spasam of the eye in both cases. iv seen it being done, it is creapy. i can still see those eyes... make them stop.
Soo, any updates on the textureing? :smile:

How dare you try to return the thread to being on-topic! Insolence! :smile: (Translation: No updates. Been mapping.)

Hmm, I've never heard of this R.E.M thing (other than the band). Anyone have a link to a video possibly? Sounds creepy.

Videos, eh?

http://www.unizh.ch/phar/sleepcd/demo/animals/chap8/giraf1.htm

Hmm, they took the video off. Bastards. I tried Googling for some myself, but all I get is REM music videos and such. Damnit! :smile:

Not a video, but them there fancy word things...

How dare you try to return the thread to being on-topic! Insolence!

in that case, allow me to talk about the weather!
ps, its fuping cold, so cold.

It's supposed to snow tonight here, a bit. It's raining right now, and it's cold as feck, so I can see it happening.

uh, my friend's eyes do that about 70% of the time without him even trying to make them. His eyes flick backwards and forwards quickly and quite noticeably. He doesn't notice anything strangely, and of course when he looks in the mirror his eyes remain still.

I'm going to film him one day.

Meshing is evil! [7/15] meshes aligned :biggrin: only 10 years to go

lol indeed it is, skinning is fun though.

I can make my eye shift side to side really well, only problem is it dizzies me sometimes :razz: I can also raise both eyebrows alternatingly and higher than other people I know. As well as I can pull the ol' Elvis lip.

i just found out i can blow air out my right eye socket! this would be realy cool if i smoked, but i dont.
good reason to take it up tho! :razz:

I can let air out in my ears... Looks neat-o underwater.

rofl, now that would look cool with smoke!

Like I'd try that.. That's just an aneurism waiting to happen, I'm sure.

Could be fun, though..

I wish I had physical deformities to show off to others!

as a child i recieved a few to many blows to the face (don't ask) but now if i try, i can close my eyelids, and blow air under them if i hold me nose and mouth shut and push..

looks kinda funny to see them fill with air now tho :smile:

I used to be be able to expel air out of the corners of my eyes, couldn't inflate anything with it mind.

I can stick small magnets to my face in selected areas :biggrin: Also, I can spin knives on my fingers/bones at the point...

I dont do that often though, and only when completely sober :razz:

I used to be be able to expel air out of the corners of my eyes, couldn't inflate anything with it mind.

So can I. I remember I was babysitting some kids once, and they were refusing to go away, so I just stared at them and did my 'eye thing'.

Heh, their faces...

Oh god, have you ever done that eye-air trick after drinking a bit of milk?

I reckon the sight of that would be kind of... Freaky. Squirting people with milk out of your eye; bleh! :smile:

Going back on-topic (briefly), here's an update on my crappy journey into skinning. Rendering still isn't much better and neither is the skin. Used my crappy modelling skills to deform the hair into a semi-skinhead thing. Oh well.

Well, it's...better...
