Title: Texture Replacements Requests.
Post by: terran_emperor on November 19, 2007, 01:04:59 pm

This thread is for people Texture replacements. ---> Model Reskins. Anything goes as long as i dont find it offensive.

I'll start off by requesting a PSI Corps Black Omega reskin of the Omega Destroyer and other EA millitary Capitals.

I'll post some design artwork as soon as i find it/have drawn it.

Easy one:
I request a reskin of the League Base. I want something that seems like Brakiri desgin. You know, remove the red/black dots and make the whole thing Brakiri-style-green.

Black Omega Hyperion and Mindwinter Reskin. Ive finished the artwork, but cant get it online.
So heres a guide using a Hyperion picture from online

(http://www.starshipmodeler.com/b5/cc_hyp_schem.JPG)

Original Model         --->                       Black Omega Reskin

Blue areas                                                Recolour  as White

Light Grey Shaded Areas         >              Recolour as Black

EA Logo                                   >              Psi Corps Logo (Same as on the Psi Corps Command Ship)

Number Patch.                          >              Black Omega Symbol from Psi Aurora
(where it says "15"

Oh and no nameplates

Other than those, leave the model as it is --> Framework near back stays dark Grey

which program to use to reskin? I am at the point now where I need that reskined base, so I will try it myself. I have Gimp (-> Freespace Oracle), but cannot open or convert the textures exported from the .vp  :confused:

You need GIMP DDS plugin (http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=4816) to open DDS textures with GIMP.

Technically, you can save as DDS as well with it, but I prefer to save the edited stuff in uncompressed (TGA) format and then convert them with NVidia's DDS utilities.

Normal map plugin (http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=4485) could also prove to be useful, but I haven't tried whether or not The Babylon Project functions properly with the taylor's experimental builds.

Scratch that last post as well as the request itself, I found an absolutely brilliant solution  :) :) :)

Nevertheless, thx for your fast answer.
