CF Kane's skins (formerly rach2cmin)

Yeah, I agree with Car. It's always bugged me.

As for your skin... I love what you've done with the trenchcoat. The little belt and the collar look great. I think the shadow on the inside may be a bit too much, but that's just me.

However the shirt I'm not as fond of. The collar looks way too huge. Disco collar even. The tie seems really sloppy too. I'm thinking a lot of that is the mesh, stretching it weird, though. But the end point really starts too high and is way too steep. Neckties have always been a pet peeve of mine. I see so many tallented, professional artists, who can't draw one to save their lives, and it's sooo simple. It's not exactly the same with skins, but the principal is there. Anyhow, google up some images if you don't see what I'm talking about. You'll get it.

Anyhow, you're making some good leway. And hopefully you'll continue skinning much needed characters that I can't believe haven't been done before.

either that, or you could probably use the cigar from Syn's Wolverine_TJ +, from www.freedom-asylum.co.uk

I can't find a cigar on that mesh, just a placeholder for one.

Oh, and I'm back from vacation.

i did the standard skin for syn's wolverine mesh, the cigar is hexxed off so you need something like nif skope or hex editor to turn it back on

Welcome back CF Kane. :thumbup: I read your pm man, I'll upload the file asap and send it to you.

I updated the old hexed meshes

sweet hex gokou! :thumbup:

Gokou · June 08, 2007, 10:11:51 PM

Thanks dude. :)

Podmark · June 09, 2007, 12:47:39 PM

Those are very cool DBZ skopes. I was a big DBZ fan a few years ago, it's really cool to see them getting some love.

Gokou · June 11, 2007, 05:01:53 AM

Thanks Podmark. :)

CF Kane hasn't replied yet and the file I uploaded might die soon so I'll just put the link in my sig if anyone wants to try to skin them.

CF Kane · June 11, 2007, 06:42:32 AM

Oh, sorry. I downloaded them a while back, it just took me a while to respond. I've already made some headway on Goku and I've made a pretty decent stab at doing an anime-style face that I can easily use for the other characters.

It's going to take a while to finish them, but I'll get cracking.

Gokou · June 11, 2007, 08:29:31 PM

Wow that's good news CF Kane. :thumbup:

CF Kane · June 20, 2007, 09:58:28 AM

Well, I tried my best on Constantine's tie, but I think that's as good as it gets for now. I may do an update later on when I'm more comfortable with my skinning technique, but I'm a bit anxious to release it. Also, I couldn't get a decent object to use as a cigarette (not a cigar), so I'll just leave that to more talented hexers than myself.

In better news, I'm pretty satisfied with my first two DBZ skins: Goku and Piccolo.

CF Kane · June 20, 2007, 04:38:16 PM

Are the pics showing up for anybody?

Gokou · June 20, 2007, 07:55:40 PM

I can't see the pics CF Kane. You should upload it in imageshack.

I've managed to import a DBZ hair for Gokou, Gohan, Vegeta & Trunks. But they have no skin and I just edited the colors in nifskope.

Podmark · June 20, 2007, 11:39:12 PM

pics aren't working now, but I saw it earlier when there was a link. Piccolo looked great. Goku was good but his hair wasn't right for his non-super saiyan form, and it seemed to just be a solid black which looked kinda boring. I'm not sure what kind of hair mapping you're dealing with though.

I'm positive a Goku mesh with the proper hair has been done in the past. No idea where it is though.

jeremy355 · June 21, 2007, 12:11:01 AM

Lord Ehmsidy made some Dragon Ball meshes http://www.geocities.com/lo_ehmsidy/ Goku, Piccolo, and Majin Buu are there.

Gokou · June 21, 2007, 04:15:40 AM

I can't wait to see CF Kane's skins. :)

@Podmark - I agree with you man, the hair is just pure black. Because the mesh isn't uvmapped and have no skeleton. I just imported it, attach it to the head and edited the color on nifskope. I'm just new at using 3dsmax. :(

Here is a front view pic of my hexed goku

Hey guys, I'm afraid I'll have to delay the release of these skins *again*. My family is taking a rather long trip and they're taking me with them, so I won't be able to work on the skins for a while. :banghead:

I'll catch you later.

Gokou · June 22, 2007, 04:01:17 AM

Good luck CF Kane. I have solved the problem on what's causing the skins to not show up. I'll send them to you when you get back. :)

Here is the fixed version with skins.

Those are looking really nice Gokou

djfredski · June 22, 2007, 03:57:38 PM

:o Really awesome work you got there.

Gokou · June 24, 2007, 11:55:05 PM

Thanks guys, btw the meshes are released. It's in my sig but they don't have DBZ skins. :)
