blazingcobalt Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 The contest description says it will be a skin for the Akmagnus but the file only contains a single Magnus. Should I render two Magnus to show that its a skin for the Akmagnus or just a single one? I'm gonna assume that they use the same model/skin twice for the AkMagnus.

TouretteLord Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'm gonna assume that they use the same model/skin twice for the AkMagnus. Sure, I think I phrased the question wrong. I wanted to ask if i should duplicate the mesh to render them like all the akimbo pistols are shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtynine Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Instead of this or accompanying this, since you won't use our model but you will try to replicate it.We should be able to do 2d concepts too.This kinda complicates things too much for me for eg.I will try doing this by the way you gave us but it would've been way more confortable painting a weapon in a few poses :).

Yeah, i dont know why there's a 3D part to the contest. They created weapons based off drawings so why couldn't they just release the 3 angles they want in greyscale so we could just paint over them. I guess they didnt went to go through a bunch of goofy entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, this. I'd say that once again it would open it up to more people being able to enter, also it would eliminate the confusion for most, and they could have their own art team draw it up so there isn't a skin that isn't in the Warframe style.

Brynslustafir Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hi folks, decided to share my WIP AkMagnus skin too. Only Normal Maps are finished yet. I really like the reflectiveness. Good work so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hYperRisuna Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 This contest seems unfair. When I was first told of it I became super excited, however once I read the rules I became discouraged. I have no idea what the diffuse, specular, gloss or tint is all about even after reading the documents. I use a Japanese art program called Paint Tool Sai instead of photoshop & it doesn't have the ability to do as the documents say to do. I know there are links to use as well but why should I be asked to use a different program rather than the one I've always worked with? What if Warframe decides to to a contest like this again but I can't access the free trial of photoshop because I already used it before? It just doesn't seem right.

TouretteLord Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) So i finished my first skin for the (ak)magnus. The skin is completely tintable. I still have to complete the psd for submission but have a first look at the renders! Check out a higher resolution image here: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Warframe-Skin-Contest-Entry-CRUSHING-MAGNUS-480981216 Here is my second and last submission: The Warpath Scindo/Zoren skin. This skin is fully tintable as well, the grip and the blade as well as the paint in two different colors. Check out a higher resolution image here: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Warframe-Skin-Contest-Entry-WARPATH-SCINDO-ZOREN-482965365 Hope you like my stuff!

Hola: (TouretteLord) pensaba hacer una piel para la ( AkMagnus ) pero después de ver tu diseño es decidido que no, ya que el tullo es asombroso y encaja perfecto con el arma.

What if Warframe decides to to a contest like this again but I can't access the free trial of photoshop because I already used it before? It just doesn't seem right. Referred programs are simply suggestions to free programs. If you already own SAI then you can just use it. SAI is able to open and save its files into photoshop layer. Other than some editing option, SAI is almost the same as photoshop. Other than normal maps which is generated by 3d program. All the maps are really just colored textures with fancy names, 3D engines read these textures based on its color and dark/bright intensity. 255 white means 100%, 0 black means 0%. Diffuse is your base color, specular and gloss determine your model reflectiveness based on dark/bright intensity in your texture, tints are really just masking used to separate the coloring. If you only want to give a simple colored skin texture, you can actually just paint the diffuse and leave other texture as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketec Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Imo that looks like chocolate cake I'm wondering why Dual Zoren Skin have a Scindo skin? They share the same texture. zoren is just a slightly reduced size scindo. Hope they at least give participants a free copy of the winning skins :D And i thought ill share this ( the material setup i used on zoren for example for proper in game like look): Top to bottom: emission, diffuse, specular, gloss, normal.
