Title: windblown's skins - Dr. Reyes
Post by: windblown on December 19, 2013, 11:23:31 PM
So, I've taken a small break of skoping teen mutants, just to do a group of young Marvel heroes which I've never seen in game.
Here is one of the skopes I've been working on lately ... and my first attempt of a skin to go with it.

The youngest member of Power Pack:

Big thanks to Hoss20 who helped me out with the skope, getting rid of a belt of the original mesh. The skin was done using parts of Tomato's newly released base skins, so thanks to him too.

the skopers are creating great skins, and soon will no longer need us, the revolution has begun we're being replaced  arghhhhhhhhhhh

I love the character choice(s). I'm kind of surprised Power Pack isn't in the game, either. There have been attempts in the past, but it never came through.

The skin looks pretty darn good! It's significantly better than my first attempt at a skin, that's for sure. :)

Looking good windblown.  :thumbup:

I like it.  I'm still trying to get a skin done on my American Eagle skope.  I hope it comes out half as good as your Energizer.

Of course i like the skope as well.  :cool:

Replaced implies that we can be gotten rid of. We've been creating content for a point and click PC game that came out the same year as The Santa Clause 2. We might as well admit that the only way to stop us from skinning is to cut off all our heads and impale us with wooden stakes.
Title: Re: windblown's first skin
Post by: Podmark on December 21, 2013, 01:24:43 AM
I like it! And a worthy character to see added to FF.

Seeing the placeholder skins you do for all your skopes I've never had any doubt you could create full skins. Glad to see you finally tried. :thumbup:

I'm glad I was able to help in any capacity. After seeing a bit of a sneak peek while helping with the skope, I have to say that the finished product looks great. Nice job on the shading and the face is very well done.

Great skope and a great skin. And I have to say that your first skin outclasses my more recent skins. Very impressive. I am really hoping to see more.

Here is the second one:

With a little skoping trick:

I hope I can give her some flying melee animations, but I'm still not sure if I will be able to do it with these keyframes.

Title: Re: windblown's second skin
Post by: deano_ue on December 22, 2013, 06:29:49 PM
the one thing i would suggest is using a slightly lighter colour of the costumes to add an element of highlights to them
Title: Re: windblown's second skin
Post by: Podmark on December 22, 2013, 06:42:23 PM
Looking good!

In addition to UE's advice I'd suggest where you have lines on a skin like on the gauntlets and boots, add a lighter coloured line just below it. You can check any of my skins for examples. It creates an illusion of depth.
Title: Re: windblown's second skin
Post by: vorelliwiseau on December 23, 2013, 04:00:44 AM
Ah, windblown - expanding the brand, I see! These skins look adorable.
Title: Re: windblown's second skin
Post by: detourne_me on December 23, 2013, 08:55:40 AM
Adorable! And I'm super jealous right now!
Your first and second skins make my years of barely worthy of being called skinning look like downright garbage.
I'm really looking forward to the boys too!

Post by: Cyber Burn on December 24, 2013, 12:03:30 AM
Never thought that I would see the Power Pack team in FF. I'm assuming that you plan on doing the whole team? Do you have any plans for Franklin Richards? If I remember correctly, he hung around the team very so often.

I've tried to follow TUE's and Pod's advices with the skin. As for the skope, here there are a couple of special animations to show his powers:

Big thanks again to Hoss20 for widening the waist of the mesh to have a more boyish look.

Happy new year!!

I can already see little improvements through your newest skin.
Title: Re: windblown's third skin
Post by: Cyber Burn on December 31, 2013, 07:37:58 PM
Geez, you are just throwing down some amazing stuff. That flying effect would be awesome for DC Comics' "Metamorpho".

And I'll agree with Pod, your skin work is improving as well.

And today, the last of the siblings, the oldest Power Pack member:
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Windblow85/ZeroG_zpsc80f8833.jpg)

This time, I've skoped the gaunlets instead of skinning them in the body. I can't decide how they looks better, what do you think?

And here is my attempt to do the aura that appears when he uses his powers:

I'd need to see some reference for the design you're doing to know what works best. but the skoped look is good.
Great job on the Power kids.

I love the new skoped bracers. Also, I'm really glad to see these character FINALLY done and so expertly. These skopes are works of art. I can't wait to see what else you come up with.

Post by: windblown on January 11, 2014, 09:43:34 PM
Thank you everyone,

I have a last skin related to Power Pack, as Cyber said previously in the thread, Franklin Richards hung around the team very often as:
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Windblow85/Tattletale_zpsf9d878ea.jpg)
Besides Franklin, I've updated the skins of the rest of the team, and skoped the bracers on. This is how they look now:
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Windblow85/PowerPackupdated_zps88a59ac2.jpg)
Let me know what you think, any suggestion will be appreciated.

Fantastic work on all of the members of Power Pack, Windblown!  :thumbup:

Never thought I would see those kids in Freedom Force with such love and amazing work done on their skopes and keyframes. I'd love to give them all unique voices but they never have been given an animated series which needs to be done since Disney can pull them out of their Marvel vault. It's THE children show already waiting to be made. They were given a TV pilot movie but it's very hard to find anywhere except on Youtube I believe.

Title: Re: windblown's skins - Bending the elements: Water
Post by: windblown on March 20, 2014, 12:55:53 AM
It's been a while since I've previewed anything here because real life is preventing me of doing FF stuff lately, but today I have a preview, an updated version of an old skope: Katara (from the 'Avatar, the last Airbender' series).
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Windblow85/Katara2_zps3532bc6c.jpg)
Katara is a waterbender (she has the ability to control water). I gave her an animation where she uses her water whip (using the water of her canteen):

Spoiler
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Windblow85/th_Katara_zpsb9f62c70.jpg) (http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Windblow85/Katara_zpsb9f62c70.mp4)

I'm planning to give her more waterbending animations in the future.

I have several other projects in progress besides this one, but I don't have much free time lately so they'll be done more slowly than I'd like.

I completely agree with you, I loved the show too. I'm planning to skope/skin the Gaang. Speaking of which, I have a new preview today:

(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Windblow85/Sokka_zpsbb454ead.jpg)

For those of you who don't know, Sokka is Katara's brother, the only non-bender of the main group of characters and one of the funniest characters of the show.

I still have to work in the animations for this skope (and Katara's).

Thank you guys, I have a new preview today:

Toph is the Earthbender of the Gaang, she is a blind girl who uses her Earthbending powers to "see" through vibrations in the ground. I though this one was going to be the toughest to skope, but I think it came out pretty good. I still have to work on the keyframes, but she has some special animations like this passive defense:

You shouldn't! I really like your work and I wouldn't be able to bring to the game some of the characters that you did lately (like all of those lanterns).
Also, being a skoper, I only can use pre-existing pieces, while you know how to create them and modify them ;)
Title: Re: windblown's skins - Bending the elements: Earth
Post by: SickAlice on May 04, 2014, 06:36:48 PM
Thanks. I believe you'll probably cross that thresh hold soon enough as well though (becoming able to make pieces and modify them) and bet you'll be as adept and sharp at it as you are at skinning and skoping too.

I've been working in a new MCU photoskin lately, but photoskinning women is more difficult to me than photoskinning men. Here is the result:

Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch.

Most of the clothes textures (and models) are from the Marvel Heroes game, adapted to FF by SickAlice for his great AoU Scarlet Witch (http://catman.freedomforceforever.com/pages/avengers.html), which is the base for this skope.

I might add some highlighting to the bottom of the armpit wings and maybe something on the w emblem to make it pop out, maybe.  Just a possibility because you know what you really want the skin to look like.

Is that face one that's....we used to call it "baked" but I think it's called something else now...via Blender/ZBrush/Max?  I know with some work you can create fleshed out skin work in the programs somehow - def know you can make top notch normal maps and such through them programs.  I'm pretty sure that was how Valander made his base skin years ago...just asking cause I might want to study the work a bit to learn and would give me an idea for potentially recreation of certain section I like/might consider employing in my own style...

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you're asking here. The head was imported with Blender, then, I sculpted it a bit in Blender too and then I reskinned it with Photoshop. Not sure if I'm answering your question, but I can send you a couple of files if you want to take a look of the head.

New preview:
Last year, I had previewed some X-characters in the skoping thread, but I lost some files because of a computer crash. I redid some of them. Here is an improved version of... Lorelei Travis, the x-character that probably no one was asking for: :D

Lorelei was one of the 198 mutants left after M-day and she has prehensile hair:

Got them with no problem, mate! Thanks a ton for letting me take a look and study what you did! Hopefully, i can pick something up from them that will push my style closer to realism - which is what i have been slowly pushing for over the years - and further from the animated look.

Glad you're back.

Like almost everything I've seen you do, excellent work.

I wonder how much work over the years has been lost to crashes? I try to back up everything onto cds and sd cards, but I've still lost things, and I've seen more than once that other members have lost work as well.

I'm glad that Ewzzy stepped in recently to help identify and preserve some of the older work, and that Daglob was doing the same before we lost him, and we have Wyldfyre's site as well.

Looking forward to seeing your work bring hosted at Heroforce.

Wow, I missed a lot of cool stuff!  Are you thinking of using your animated hair-skope for a Medusa eventually?  That seems a perfect fit.

I love your avatar; beautiful skin and skope!  The work on the face and the texture work for the costume are great!

Crystal is the only inhuman that I like, so Medusa is not in my plans, but when Lorelei is released, it should be easy to skin her for a skinner. Lorelei hair is weaker than Medusa's though, so maybe she´ll need more animations.
