Weapon Skins Contest

[Blaqsailens]

I hope I'm not too late D: Here's my entry:

 

 

 

 

A friend and clanmate gave me the idea for the name. Dakila means great/heroic/majestic/noble in Filipino(Which makes Dakila Magnus kinda redundant, pfft)

 

The inscription on the barrel is from an ancient Filipino writing system called Alibata/Baybayin. It reads "Dakilang Tenu" or translated into English: "x Tenno", x being any of the possible translations of the word.

 

Baked and rendered with Blender. Textures made with Photoshop and dDo.

 

I apologize if the maps are a bit messy, still trying to get the hang of texturing and stuff. PSD file is here:

Hi everyone ! 

 

Here's my entry for the challenge: 

 

The Magnus Hive.

 

 

For the skin I chose to base myself on a theme :The Hive.

 

Therefore I used the graphic codes associated with this theme.Like  yellow,orange,black and the hexagonal shape.

Furthermore , I was inspired by the Corpus weapons for the  technological side and use of energy weapons.

I also added blades (on textures) on the front of the weapon.

 

For rendering I used Marmoset Toolbag 2 , and Quixel Suite to work on the different maps.

Voilà :)  

 

Hope you like it ! And Good Luck for  other participants !

These two blew my mind! Can I has both?

For the love of Flying Spaghetti Monster people, when you quote messages with images in them put the images in spoiler tags.

Or click on image and press delete/backspace ^^

Spoiler tag is more preferable since other people won't need to go back to see what image a person is commenting, but that also works.

Hi everyone,

Every part of the weapons are tintable so you can change the colors to whatever you like!  

 

Vectis:

 

AkMagnus:

 

 

Dual Zoren:

 

I hope you guys like it, and hope I didn’t miss the competition!

My Gawd... This is beautiful!!

Hello all!

I just like the Necrons from Warhammer 40k and other fantasy races like them. Well, we cannot have Necrons in Warframe, but I've tried to develop style inspired by them. So... there is Necrotech Skin Pack! (I'm pretty lame at names) Click images for full resolutions:

 

Necrotech AkMagnus

 

Necrotech Zoren (and Scindo)

 

Necrotech Vectis (THAT was a real pain)

 

Skin features:

- Fully tintable metallic colors

- Glowing elements (supercharge your weapon with unknown deadly energies!)

- Nekros approves!

I hope it's good enough for you to like it!

Hello my fellow Tenno :) 

 

Here is my skin for the akmagnus, called "Cranium" (skull in latin, as magnus is latin too *coughs*).

Thx for your time and good luck to everyone! :)

Hopefully i'll be able to finish my zorens before the contest ends, for some reason i read it to end the 22nd and not the 19th.

 

Oh well i'll see what i can make of the time i got left.

[(PSN)Shatter02]

Silferer skin for Vectis, honestly a bit disappointed with how it turned out. Works on Magnus, but not so much on Vectis because it already have plenty of silver parts. I haven't got much time working on it, i'll try to improve it with time i have left. But i'm gonna submit this one for now in case i didn't make it.

 

EDIT: Updated with new one

Never forget the 501 Kubrow.

 

Breakdowns:

Programs used:

Autodesk Maya 2015 - UV map preview, cleaned up normals of original model (Unreal screamed for some reason, as it found reversed normals around the seams, could've been a bad download or import), added smoothing groups to the tessellated default import (keeps same geometry, but softens the edge).

Adobe Photoshop CS6 - Digitally painted 95% of the main skin with the standard brushes in photoshop default. Small amounts of secondary stone texture were also overlapped for the spec map and diffuse.

Unreal Editor (Unreal Engine 4) - Compiled all maps into one master material and took screenshots while simulating real time.

CrazyBump - turning the painted height map (black and white) into a normal map, gloss map, and spec map.

 

The Concept:

Honestly, I just...really wanted a Kubrow skin that looked cool and kept the same Eastern Sci-Fi aesthetic, we've all come to love from Warframe. Looking through the Asian artillery, I came across a lot that featured snarling oni on the handle with the blade jutting from their mouths.

Example

 

 

I wanted to do something similar to that but in a very Tenno style. Originally, the blade only featured one head, but quickly grew to three as I wanted to fill the rest of the blade. So essentially, a Kuberus (Kubrow Cerberus). As to why it became a ghost theme...well I was just playing in the Material editor with the tint masks, and I really love teal and orange. Usually the combo looks so happy to me, but this time it looked haunting.

 

Poor dead Kubrows... may this blade avenge the fluffy fallen.

 

Good luck to the other entries! This contest was amazing DE, please do more! ...With meshes, please, please, please! Or a syandana contest! Ooooo, too fun. Can't wait to see what you guys cook up next. :D

This should be called the Grandmaster Skin Pack, it should not require any Founder Rank, is just a powerful  name set, for those true tennos and orokin fans and to please them.

 

Keep in mind, all of these skins has specularity of Primed Weapons, and the Grandmasters Dual Zoren has glow map on the blue areas, it is hard to tell. since the backround and lighting wasnt the best in blender.

Man, that's fantastic! Gives me a serious futuristic vibe - kind of like forerunner weapons in halo 4. That'll go perfectly with my volt! Does want! On a more serious note, I particularly like how you turned the (ordinarily weird) bump on the Vectis into a kind of aiming reticule. Brilliant.

Well THAT must win the contest.

 

Really good skin for Zoren, would buy 10\10

[Llyssa]

In the future, can there please be a maya-compatible version as well? I know that the weapon design team has talked about them using maya and zbrush, and not having options to easily import these into either one makes it a bit of a chore trying to work with unfamiliar software--I managed to get the .obj from blender, but lost all the UV mapping in the process. I don't particularly like blender... at all.
