Chaos Brand New Unit Cards (02/03/2010)

[Carcaju]

Hello guys!

First things first, I'm Carcaju, and this is my first moddification! So yes, I'm a noob when it comes to the subject. As I'm new to this type of work, I hope you guys could help me, and give me some feedbacks, positive or not, but always constructive, so I can keep on improving it.

Well after hours and hours of playing this wonderful mod, I decided to give something extra to it. By means, polish the mod, work on some flaws and stuff. (To say this, I'm not criticizing, I only want to make this mod better and better).

So my first work (even it little, as I intend to keep up with it), was to change some unit cards of the Chaos faction. As, in my opinion, some of the cards doesn't really show the unit very clear.

Know Issue: It seems that their skin and beard got purple too, so I want your opinion about it.





New Tests (25/02/2010)

That's exactly the one I read

[~Beren~]

Nice work on the UI cards.
The only suggestion I can give is to remove the white outlines to make them more uniformed with the others.

As for the marauders, I see that you simply changed the hue of the yellows; therefore giving every texture with a yellowish tint (skin, beards, pelts, etc) a pinkish color. It's a similar step to what I've done with my marauders, except you missed one step or two.

[Carcaju]

Well, for the white outlines I followed the tutorial, but I still can't remove it =/. I followed every step, but in the end always is the same white glow.

The marauders stuff I'm gonna work later on, I have little experience in texturing, so for now I'm just going to do texts, and see what it comes of it.
THanks for the feedback Beren!

[~Beren~]

Of course.

I'm slowly learning on how to improve my texturing as well.

[The Holy Pilgrim]

I think that both of you are great artists!

+rep to both of you for your outstanding work!

I really like the new ones Downloaded.
I also tryed to make unitcards with that tutorial, but I just didn't get them saved correctly
I just make unit cards from screenies with Photoshop I agree that some cards need work imo, so I too also remade marauders cards for myself, since I always mixed them with the chosen ones.

And maybe you could manualy remove the white borders in photoshop, altought imo they aren't a big deal . And maybe sharpen cards juuust a little bit..
Check Khorne and Nurgle;

I really liked the the Desolators and Archers!
AS for marauders, maybe if you put the the shield in front of them, it should look better imo!
But anyway, great work too !
What do you mean by sharpen the cards? Remove the white borders? Thanks for the tips =)

To tell the truth I only used the Milkshape for the Khorne, SLannesh and Nurgle chosen, because it was able to use the skeleton to make some poses. But with the Plaguebearers,bloodletters and Tzeentch chosen when I moved the joints it kinda mess up the model. So these last three I actually took from the game
