Does anybody wanna help me do some? There are a few that can be updated like Malcolm, Brock and Lauren and some who would be easy to skin on the existing models (e.g. the Gen Mo'Kai and Skaarj). I'd like to make a skin pack based on UC2 but I think it would be cool to have lots of skinners working on the pack since there is a lot of talent here :)

If you fancy helping then reply here and I'll PM you with some more details :D

Cheers,

hmm an interesting idea, but the UC2 models are quite different than their UT2k4 counterparts. I'm not sure I see how just skins will do anything for them. I mean sure make brock a Necris.. eh anyway I am interested to hear/see what you have in mind

Yeh, that's a problem I saw from the start. Obviously the skins aren't gonna match their UC2 models EXACTLY, but I've done some research/forward planning and I think the characters I've chosen will transfer quite well to the UT2004 models with a bit of imagination and some minor adjustments. I'll be showing off my first skin tonight at somepoint which will be the Liandri robot "Raptor" using a Gen Mo' Kai model, this will hopefully give you a better idea of the style I'm trying to achieve.

I had a feeling thats what model you would use for raptor.
I'll be interested to see how it comes out.

And ya know we could just go and annoy epic by remaking their UC2 models for UT2k4 before UC2 gets released. ;)

The Raptor skin is going well, but I may scrap it :\
I'm revising my character choices and will have to decide who can be skinned to a high quality. Some of the characters in UC2 just aren't suited for UT2004 models. The skins that are DEFINATLEY being done are Arclite, Malcolm and Brock.

Thanks for the offer dude, but I wanna keep this as a skin pack only :)
If you wanna help though, a skin or two would help me A LOT :D

Started work on both Arclite and Malcolm, I'll make a start on Brock soon as well. Both are WIP, Arclite's head is the only bit done and Malcolm's body is about 30% complete. If you want to see what I'm using as references then just ask and I'll post them here too :D

Ok, here are Malcolm and Arclite's references:

I think would probably be better if this moved to the WIP forum now :D

Sounds groovy, do you need any reference pictures?
Anybody else wanna help? If we each do 2 skins we could get quite a large skin pack easily :D

4 posts in a row, I don't like it :/
Here's the final WIP shot before he goes into UnrealED and I add shaders etc.

Malcolm 90% done:

About 11-12 hours work there, I think it's my best skin :)

heh ok I'm in, now that I found where you were getting those refs.

I'll take Brock and Lauren. :chuckle:
Lauren is going on "ophelia" and brock is going on the necris model from the ECE bonus pack. I figure since its an "official" download more people will have it, so compatability shouldn't be much of an issue.

One more thing: are the wireframe flats available for the ophelia and the ECE bonus pack or am I just going to have to paint over the originals? Either way is fine, I just like having the wires.
