but I don't know how good it will fit him, this texture on his clothes.

The good news is, he is finished as of now. Now I need to do some new clothes and some small changes to the armor for a second version. Including a new haircut :)

Maybe making the cloths texture a bit dirty (like the armor) for some reason it just looks to clean and bright next to the armor.

btw.. from the pics I cant tell but is that a shader on the clothing part?

Nice. Very impressive work, all 'round.

The most recent change in the clothes texture is a move in the right direction, I think. The example you posted before that made him look like he was wearing a Super-Hero leotard under his armour. Heh. But I agree with Continuum’s comment of it being too bright. The orange sections, mainly. Personally, I preferred the dark, earthy/leathery brown coloured stripes he had on his clothes earlier on. But that’s just me.

Hmm will have to redo the clothes then. Some browny cloth things instead could look nice. Will try some things out, more pics soon.

Black hair will be for a second version legendary ;)

You might want to consider leaving the mask as it is.

As for the rest of the body, the colours seem easy to recognise in the heat of battle, so thumbs up for that.

I really like what you are doing there :tup:

I like both versions of the clothes, maybe you can use the former one for the alternate one? A little bit darker and mabye not with that orange and it should be fine

Wow, nice work with the TCs. They’re very clear without being too ugly. In fact, if anything, some of them make the model look even better. :)

I like the lace/rope thing you’ve done on the clothing. It gives him more of a “knightly” feel, since it makes the clothing look somewhat primitive/medieval. Buuut, the rest of the clothing looks a bit drab and uninteresting at the moment. :( I would suggest perhaps bringing back a bit of the blue texture you had and placing it over the less detailed areas of cloth, but the blue could possibly ruin the good thing you’ve got going with your TCs. Hrrmmm… Perhaps if the material was made to look more like scratched and/or scuffed leather in a few places? I’m not sure how difficult that would be to produce, though.

Oh, and I had another small suggestion: Have you considered changing the colour of the glowing eyes with the TCs? It might be a nice effect to have if you leave the rest of the mask alone…Then again, if you did that, it might look odd if the rest of the blue-glowing circular panels (the ones on his legs, backpack and belt) did not change to the team colours as well. But if they did change to the team’s colour, they might be drowned out by the team colour on the surrounding metal. *boggles* Okay, perhaps this is a can of worms best left un-opened. But I’ll leave it with you.

EDIT:
*looks up at what he’s written*
Yeesh. I’m probably writing a bit much, here. Tell me to shut up if I’m being too vocal. I don’t want to be egging you on to do even more work when you think it’s as good as it’s going to get. ;)

Thanks all :)

Well to be honest, after I posted those pics I did make the leather look more scratched/rough. ;)

Though about the lights, I think they need to stay as they are. I don't want to fiddle around with them with the TC's. Would be, as you said, "drowned out". So I'll leave them as they are.

What I can tell you is I've gotten them ingame. Yes them I've got two versions now. Hans the older brother and Martin the younger one. Also I've made some bio's up for them and I might as well post them.

Code:
Martin="Name: Martin|Age: 32||Data:||Another Knight fanatic.|Martin and his brother Hans has been amazed with knights since childhood. Despite their difference in age, they have always been best friends, Martin looking up to Hans. When Hans first built his armor, Martin always wanted one too.|With a little help Martin quickly built his own armor, very similar to Hans'. Though a little more advanced with vision enhancing optical sensor built into his mask.||Hans and Martin is now teaming up with Mithan, another knight fanatic."

Hans="Name: Hans|Age: 51||Data:||Martin's older brother. Hans has, as Martin always been fascinated by knights. After a long life as a tech engineer Hans retired and started working on a knight armor. What started out as a part time hobby quickly consumed Hans and what should just be for display evolved into a fully customized armor.|Wanting to test his suit in real combat, Hans entered the Tournaments with his brother, MArtin. Here they met the other knight fanatic, Mithan. A very formidable foe but even stronger teammate.||Martin and Hans is now teaming up with Mithan"

Portraits are done too. But them you'll have to wait to see. What I've done to Hans(Martin is the one above posted with TC's). He has black leather with orange stripes. Not as strong as before, and in another way(placement of the stripes).
Hans has grey hair, since he is these 51 years old but he hasn't got the blue glowing eyes. He has normal green eyes.
His armor is pure grey and hasn't got the brownish tint as Martins. TC's are the same ;)

Glowshadow, nope keep at it. Good input.

EDIT:
Martin:

Hans:

No these are not the portraits. Just some screens of their faces.

Might as well reveal that he is a bot. Liandri Knight, as I call him. A Light Xan MK III prototype.

He's finished and with TC's and all.

So any ideas for a fourth version? Might try and make the WarBoss into a knight, just to say I've skinned it :)
But then I'd have to wait till MacTom get's it finished. Ahh well.

How about a Roc/Hyena skin? Should be possible to make a cool knight out of it :tup:
