Evil Factions Reskin 0.3.1 by Brevi

[Lebre]

Is this a joke?

However for mine personal preferring I'm making the balrog more "lavish"

It's not a joke my good sir

now I know you'll say AMAGAD as well

But not in the campaign.

edit: can I use some of your stuff in my mod compilation, just balrog and berserker.
And can i suggest you take a look at the uruk bowmen next, their skin could definitely use some improvement.

You may use all my current skins you like and the ones I release in the future for your submod. I actually play with your submod you know... from time to time.

About the uruk bowmen, yep you already mentioned that and I didn't forget about it. I agree but at the moment I'm out of ideas. On the Ugluk skin when I was trying to get his face right I've tried so many ways to improve the quality of the uruk-hai face. I have even remapped the UVs, tried sharpness and everything but so far I have came to no success. Whatever I seem to do there is not enough detail on the face when I am in-game. I will keep trying to do it, maybe someone has a tip?

Well you could ask for someone's help to make superior normal maps, them're very important, them make such a big difference; bad normal mapping can ruin a seemingly perfectly finely textured unit as much as a bad model or bad uv mapping and such things. Though I bet you already knew that... I just mention this in case you've forgotten...

Hmm yes, I have though of how far they could be used... It's another area I wish to discover in the future. Hopefully sooner then later. It's a good suggestion however, thank you.

I would +rep you if only I could...

I'm happy to see you appreciate the skin, that's more then enough.

Hi Brevi, these is the balrog how I like it

Your model is awesome but I didn't like very much..so for my personal use I made a second..
If you like it, can you post it as a second version of your?

[Lebre]

What did you change in it?

and btw I posted a response to you 'is this a joke' question

[.:Zack Fair:.]

What did you change in it?

The colours, to make it look more "lavish", and I enhanced the claws

and btw I posted a response to you 'is this a joke' question

I have seen it..what does amagad means?

[Lebre]

AMAGAD = oh my god

Yea comparing the two the colors are more vivid indeed, nice work

I say OMG for oh my god ..anyway thank you

[.:Zack Fair:.]

I'm still trying to improve it..Can I make my own topic..Of course I will link you and your mod..(If not can I be your team mate? I will improve the balrog)? I'm changing a lot..

Here you can see my new version

I changed the wings and the face a lot..later I will reskin the body

[.:Zack Fair:.]

I've finished my version

[Brevi]

I've finished my version

I like your skin in some ways... the body texture and the colors are great in this particular screenshot but you made it generally a lot darker. There are many different weather conditions and night mode for example where this skin would just appear pure black from above I guess. Also I don't like the way it has white eyes and nose, I don't know why that was necessary.

I think I will not include this for now but feel free to play around with it. I would be a lot more delighted to see someone modify the animations, models or normal maps of my skins. One or two people like that would be a great addition to this mod.

EDIT: About the darkness. I really like the positioning of the first screenshot you did but I notice something. You play on really high brightness settings. I think you corrected the skin to fit your settings. Compare the brightness of the two screenshots (remember, this is the same skin):

Can I make my own topic

I'm sorry but I have 20 hours+ work in that Balrog now and it's clearly the crown jewel of this submod for the moment. I don't want recolors to be posted all around the site for now, so no permission sorry.

EDIT: I have updated the first post: I would like to ask the community that in the future please ask for my permission before you modify my skins. Thanks.

I only modified the image to look more bright..Otherwise it looked very dark..

[zorro59]

Hmm it looks good in my opinion. What i dont like is the eyes.

[.:Zack Fair:.]

Can I be like your team mate and you will post my version as the second of yours?

Definitely not. You asked me if you can create your own topic about this reskin of yours (which I declined) and before I replied you already created the thread http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=368314 where you write:

Here I modified the skin of the balrog

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...99#post7565499

It's good enough to be implemented in 2.0? Or King Kong has made a lot better model now?

Here I modified the skin of the balrog you say... well frankly you made a minor recolor of my skin which you didn't give credit for anywhere.

So let's put it clear. I don't find your version to be an improvement and please don't post any more reskins in this thread (or TWC forum) about it. I didn't give you permission to modify my skins and the way you asked KK about it without even contacting me offended me big time.

Yeah that would have offended me too. Since I'm a modder (Morrowind lol ) I know the feeling. Kinda lame to upload it even though Brevi hasn't given his permission, and further to almost take credit for it. Big nono!

[Brevi]

Ah well to actually talk about my submod in this thread, I started a massive rework of every skin I made for the new version 0.3 saved for the Balrog and the Berserker. Those skins I'm fully satisfied with. I'm thinking about doing a Haradrim hero too, not the actual faction leader but some kind of 'right hand of the emperor' type hero that is a badass fighter, he will use dual golden blades. I will post about the progress but this might take a while to finish.

[.:Zack Fair:.]

If I offended you I'm sorry..Please forgive me..I like a lot your work and previously I wanna only change something as I like..It took me 3 hours and I've not only changed some colours..You can see..

Anyway sorry..Even if I changed (in my opinion) a lot I wasn't authorised to did what I did..forgive me..
