Title: DSC's Skins and Things (requests welcome)
Post by: dragonsteincole on July 27, 2011, 04:15:15 PM: Decided to start a new topic in the appropriate place. Started to reskin a few items , planning to do both Stock and DSL components. But I am also posting this to offer my services to skin components and bots for people too! Can either be realistic or silly/fun skins. Requests can be made here or via PM.
With that said, here's something that everyone uses to kick things off:

Post by: dragonsteincole on July 27, 2011, 04:23:55 PM: Sure. it'd be no problem to open myself up to skinning bots either. :approve:

Post by: dragonsteincole on July 27, 2011, 05:03:25 PM: I use Paint Shop Pro 7. Old as dust, but does 90% of what Photoshop does and for no cost. ;)

And I agree with the pointlessness, but they're nice uncomplicated objects to get started with and to show the quality of the textures.

The new one is really unreliable if you plan on getting another- 12 is good :P

Oh, and I may request a few skins. Something I still should learn to do, but haven't had the motivation. :P

Emergency Snowplow

Plan on making a few more of these based on notable Stock/DSL AI, and a few other bots. For whatever reason this snowplow is mapped better than the one in DSL. Odd. (Based on the SD_Snowplow)

Post by: NFX on July 29, 2011, 12:15:48 PM: Very nice. Looks much better than the Emergency Plow we already have.

Could you try re-skinning a snowplow to look like the background of this

Thanks, it works good, now I nearly finished a RA2 replica of that ride, as soon as I manage to fix up stuff I might create a full working version of it.
