BigassV3 will have weapon skins and YOU can create them! The best skins made by the community will be put in the map. What can you put on the texture? Anything! And you can submit as many skins as you wish! You can submit your skins in here, preferably in a tif format with layers and post a jpg preview to show what it looks like. If you want you can also just send your submission to me personally on any social media.

There is no deadline for submissions but the sooner - the better

So far it is planned to have a total of 24 skins but that might increase. I have put together files needed to make your own textures - models, default texture and an example skin. You will need to edit the diffuse of the skin and, if you want, multipurpose too. Keep in mind that red channel is used for detail maps, green for illumination and blue for reflection!

Assault Rifle


CE3 skin preview

The assault rifle will have 4 skins. You can download source files here: http://puu.sh/qKvJr/a3a34c67ca.rar

Pistol


Sticker preview

The pistol will have 8 skins. This is unique because it has a sticker on left side, it is very useful if you want to have a skin with text. You can download source files here: http://puu.sh/qKw1W/a4ca088add.rar

Shotgun


Preview of wooden skin

The shotgun will have 4 skins. You can download source files here: http://puu.sh/qKwn7/11d1eba4dd.rar


Battle Rifle


Preview of arctic skin. Attachments used: laser, h4 scope and h4 magazine

The BR will have 4 skins. It has optional attachments (laser, h4 and specops scope, h4 and specops magazine), tell me which ones you want when submitting your skin. This model requires AR texture which can be found in AR skin source files. You can download source files here: http://puu.sh/qP7vN/f87fe891aa.rar

DMR


Preview of red skin

The DMR will have 4 skins. You can download source files here: http://puu.sh/qP7Vt/aacad3d41f.rar

Tags for weapons
Want to see what your skin looks like ingame? Download this tag pack. It has preview weapon tags with shaders and animations. You may need to remove sound tags from animation tags though, I did not include them. You can download it here: http://puu.sh/qRugs/68f20c1e51.rar

To compile your bitmaps, put your .tiff textures in data folder, wherever the weapon is located. The just use tool command 'tool bitmaps <bitmap location'. For example, for pistol you'd have to write "tool bitmaps 'halo reach\objects\weapons\pistol\magnum\preview"' (if you put your textures in that folder).

If you need any more files or help feel free to ask me anything. Good luck with your skins!

How do you go about creating skins? (Sorry for my noobishness)

You don't.

I will upload DMR source files once I fix a couple minor UV issues. And thanks for pointing out that unfortunate typo lol.



Do you know how to use Photoshop or any similar software?

I'm not the best at it but I should be OK. I use Paint.net

Then just use that to edit the diffuse texture and preview it in some 3D software like 3DS Max. Photoshop allows you to directly paint on the 3D object which makes it easier to make rough sketches of the skin.

Looks like it's time to fire up my desktop PC again.

Sorry, these are for Halo Online.

Well, better start editing then.

I'm almost done with BR and DMR. Hopefully their source files will be uploaded tomorrow. BR is taking longer to set up because it will have different attachments on different skins.

If that's a Kirby themed Assault Rifle, then you won the whole thread.

Good God I miss this drink

I expected this much from this community.

Bump because skins

I uploaded BR and DMR source files. Check he fist post for links and stuff.

Kill yourselves.

Should I not have posted skins? I just wanted to get the ball rolling.

Skins are alright, I was referring to people who were talking off topic.

I shouldn't have to warn you about language like this. I won't again.

lol you have a higher chance of being banned than ASCENDANTJUSTICE does

Look.

You've called me by that name twice so far and I don't mean to bitch but my foreskin can only stretch so far.

Please, think responsibly before arousing me.

Flanker is not that other person.

I like this one.

Actually I could use this...

I've attempted to create my own lel. Just can't figure how to put the thing to CE.

Bigass remind me about DOTA, originally just a map of Warcraft 3 and it becomes great today,, it looks cool :D

so you give the source but not the AO, few layers that helps texturing and anything ?
