Darth Maul skin

[D_V_A]

so... I really like the Darth Maul character, the tats, the sword, the attitude

so I did a few skins for GTA SA, and since I started messing with FO3 I figured it wouldn't be such a bad mod, considering there are a few lightsaber mods around (damn good ones too)

 

so I took the horrible ghoul mask

changed the texture and the normal map

 

and this is my first test ingame, of what I did in photoshop

I realize I have a lot of fixing to do (the nose black line is crooked, the forehead is too high over the top of his head... and he's generally too reflective :P )

but I wanna know if anybody here is on board :D

 

so what do ya say?

not bad at all. bit too shiny for my tastes but not bad at all.

nice job :thumbsup:

good to see some people care :)

here's my second try (done around 3 AM last night)

http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/2/14/2321709/.thumbs/thumb_2ndtry.jpg

 

I fixed the nose and the center forehead, still reflects but a bit worse, like all over because I blanked the normal map. idk what else to do, I didn't see a spec map in the _n.dds alpha...

 

Also I have to widen the red part around the jaw and cheeks area, fix the black ornaments on his head and start normal mapping little white horns around the crown of his head if I can. I can't model anything in 3D, so don't expect anything big... unless someone wants to help me :)

 

I'll probably attempt for a torso texture on Robert's and Breeze's Male Bodies (I already have the texture, just needs to be applied)

 

You think someone could track down a simple suitable clothing? (mostly a black suit, no hoodie necessary)

^ sort of like that, not exactly the same (could have normal gloves, not those big leather ones)

I'm sure nobody has meshes resembling this:

for the shirtless version, so let's not get ahead of ourselves

 

I could probably put together a black trench-coat and that's that :)

 

but any help would be very very appreciated!

I'll keep you updated

Not so much into Darth Maul and Star Wars in the Wasteland.

 

Might be able to get into a HELLBOY character though.

Thanks, Penney

 

Good news!

I removed the reflection completely, it looks fantastic now (reflection-wise it's perfect)! black normal mapping textures with black alpha channels own! xD

BUT

the nose line and the cheeks need thinned, the black spots for the horns a bit widened left and right

 

also I gotta reduce the red part on the top of the head to look like this:

and I gotta fix the mouth area, maybe make him show his teeth! I'd love to wrinkle the nose bridge to make him seem like he's roaring or something, like here:

besides that... I guess there are still alotta things left to do, but it's comin together slowly

 

replies would really motivate me! :D

Well, here you go. It really looks awesome! Except the cheeks are a bit wide >_>. But other than that, great job.
