Lately, i've been messing with skins and models a lot, to find new cool things to add to my replacement pack, and i ended creating some interesting models , but i don't know if they're really that good or if they deserve being released ... Anyway, please tell me what you think about them ...
First, we have a phase 1 commander cody ... Well, nothing special with him, just replaced the head and did some skinning on it ... Although, it might be interesting for some FA !
Next is something i'm quite proud of, the navy commando, from the force unleashed (Wii and PS2 ...) I don't even own the game myself, but i alway liked their look and i dont' know, maybe they could be in a FA ... (do you think i should release them on Jkfiles ?)
Finally, the next big release of my replacement pack, an improved version of almost all the clones in JT ! they already looked great, but i thought adding some back pack here, a wrist flamer there and giving them their right skirt colour would make them look even better ...
Note that i only use Ms paint, notepad and Modview for all my work ...
Oh, and bonus question for the skinners here : What do i have to do to only keep a part of a surface, and make the rest invisible ? Do i have to use a shader ?
Looking good. KEEP IT UP.
yeah im pretty sure you have to use a shader, and good work for only using paint

How the hell can you make this stuff in MS paint?!?!
I like the look of the Navy commando but the black areas are just plain black, do yourself a favour and find a copy of Photoshop or download GIMP in order to do the skin justice.

I like the look of the Navy commando but the black areas are just plain black, do yourself a favour and find a copy of Photoshop or download GIMP in order to do the skin justice.
That's why i want to know how to remove texture, to remove this black part while keeping the rest of the funky helmet ...
But GIMP you say ? Maybe i'll give it a try ...
Well in GIMP and Photoshop you can use their selection tools like point to point, lasso etc. to select certain parts.
Some of our ideas are so similar!
By the way these guys are gonna be in the upcoming new mb2 map: Sarapin Drill.
Nice looking clones there, droid.
Airplane!

Oooooh, looks nice.
Yeah it looks good. My only suggestion is that the black on the Navy Imperials needs to be changed.

Hey, I seriously need help here! Does anyone knows how to make parts of a texture invisible ? i know it's possible, saw it on some models, however, i have no ideas how to recreate that though, and i don't know if it's because i coded the shaders wrong or is it because of my texures that are wrong, cause i use paint (like the time i tried to make RGB texture ...) So if anyone knows how to do that, please help me, i really need that for the navy commando skin ...

Shaders + transparency + alpha blending probably (alpha blending is what makes the stuff invisible, to see stuff with alpha blend, it's in modview's menus somewhere)
No go with paint.
I've tried doing rgb in paint AND photoshop elements, didn't work.
it works beautiful on GIMP though
Lt.Claim
16-05-2009, 00:47
OK, thanks a lot... I did the shader thing right, but i guess i'll really have to use GIMP, although it appears to be Waaaay harder to use than paint ... but i'll learn !
Lt.Claim
16-05-2009, 11:00
Here, improved it thanks to your advise ! What do you think of it now ?
Also, i made a Phase 1 commander bly skin ... Might be interesting for an FA or something, like his cody friend ...
Still looks good. KEEP IT UP.
Bly is great, except for pistols(I think they need to go, just for the sake of holsters) and helmet, just use the blank one and repaint it, if I were you I would use the other model for the helmet.
I dont like the hips of the stormtrooper marine, they are just plane black, add some texture.
Lt.Claim
20-05-2009, 16:34
AHahAHAhaha !!! FINALLY MADE IT !!!
Now, the power is mine!!!! i master the RGB textures !!! see for yourself :
yesssss !!! It took me monthes but it works now !!
this rainbow awesomness will be in the next release of my claimpack, to replace the RGB "new_clone", which is just a white clone for the moment ...
Oh, and if any of you have ideas of model i coul improve/add to my pack, don't hesitate !

20-05-2009, 17:12
Claim, learn the ways of the photoshop, and let the win be with you :)
Great looking for paint, but you know paint and photoshop its like drawing by finger and brush, with brush things will get better look in short time.
Lt.Claim
20-05-2009, 18:24
yeah, yeah ... It's not very easy, but i've started using GIMP recently and i must admit, the result are way better than what i was doing with paint... I think i'll be able to finnish the navy commando textures all by myself !
Oh, and question to the people who currenctly use my pack, do you want an updated release soon or should i continue to wait for the new CMP to be released, as i first planed ?
antiflag
20-05-2009, 23:50
Using your replacement, releasing it together with CMP would be a good PR for both of it
Lt.Claim
22-05-2009, 20:42
Ok, finally made my mind: The new claim pack will hopefully be released sunday ! All i have left to do is write a new readme (god, i hate doing that !) and prepare some more Cool pictures showing all that is in the pack !
As for the navy commando and the phase 1 commanders ... well, i don't really know what to do of them for the moment, so i'll just keep them in a corner, in case someone wants to make a FA with them or something ... Maybe I'll try to release the navy commando on JKfiles when i'm done with them ?
Here is a little extra : a preview of all that's going to be in my pack ! I know, there aren't that much new things, but i still thinks it deserves the update (especially for the JT clones !) And don't worry, i'll try to make another update as soon as the new CMP is released, to be sure you only have the best model for your MB2 ;)
edit : sorry for the little delay, had problems with moviebattles and filefront going down
Nice, - now.... release them to the private CMP section :D
Cause I love the robed arcs!11

Hey, New WIP here ! Few days ago, i went to the CMP public test and got my hand on the new Delta prime and its new clones model and remarked they are ...huh... Well, see for yourself :
Hmm ... a bit hard to tell apart, aren't they ? Even if it's still a beta, i decided to start to make a replacement right away ! I tried to do more or less the same thing i did with the 501st clones, adding pack backs, pauldrons, and changing the texture to make them look nicer, more different from each others and more autentic ... They still look a lot the same infortunately ... I could have tried to create new textures, but meh ...
here it is anyway :
huh ... just realised i forgot to put the name of the classes ... so, from left to right : Arc commander, Arc trooper, Melee expert, rocket guy, nade guy, clone rifle 2 guy, clone rifle 3 guy, officer, trooper, captain (medic) and finally E-web guy ... Oh, and you dont' really see all the back pack, a shame ...
Anyway, what do you think of them ?
alenoguerol
16-06-2009, 05:51
awesome :D
btw heres some example of TFU models and skins.
With some change Claim, I'd be willing to officially integrate your replacement into Delta Prime. The only pre-requisite, however, is that pauldrons and backpacks do not mix. If you'd be willing to make that adjustment, then I would gladly include your work, seeing as all I can do as far as reskinning models goes is playing mix and match with the parts.
Lt.Claim
16-06-2009, 13:22
Oh thanks, it'd be awesome to have some of my work released in a FA !(and in the CMP ? wow ! ). Oh, and I just made some changes, to make them look more like the one in Jedi temple !
If you have any idea of to improve them, tell me
And, escuse me, but can you be more precise about what do you mean by "pauldrons and back pack don't mix" ?
As for alenogrenol, thanks for the pictures ! I already use the navy commando one for my model ... As for the stormtrooper commander, altough it would be cool to make his skin, it is sadly impossible because the stormtrooper helmet has a mirrored skin ( you can't make that blue mark only on one side of his helmet ) ...
But i'm interested in doing a reskin for this stormtrooper, the incinerator trooper ...
Great work Lt.Claim, can't wait to use them. :D

I'm still working on the delta prime clones, i just have some shadder work to do, all the Icons and also pack everything in one folder to make it easier to use. I have no idea when the next CMP will come, but i'll release it ASAP.
Also ! New stuff again, pretty much finnished though ... It's a reskin that put raven's snowtrooper texture to the Clone Marine model ! It took like 1000 copy and paste to do it, but i'm pretty happy of the result, as i never done such a big skinning job ... It's still not perfect, and i don't think it's good enough to replace entirely raven's, although it might be a good way to add variation among snow troopers, or i don't know, give them jet packs ... I'll try to make a replacement with them for Echobase, but then again i don't think they'll be in the next claim pack ... I don't know, what do you think ?
wow, big pic here
Lt.Claim
27-06-2009, 02:09
Ok, it's finally done, the deltaprime clones are all here :
http://files.filefront.com/zz+zzdeltaprimepk3/;13935530;/fileinfo.html
I did everything : put them on one single file, gave them icons, holsters and i also tested them ... I had to do some last minute change because the in-game result wasn't satisfying, but anyway it's done. The CMP is free to implement it or not and to do whatever modifications on it they want. Note that I'd be very happy to help for any other CMP FA which need some visual improvement.
Also, this file should also works as a replacement pack if for any reason it was not to be in the next CMP release...
Lt.Claim
28-06-2009, 21:37
As i said, my next replacement pack will be for Echo base, to give more differentiation between the snowtroopers than just coloured pauldrons. For that, i'll use my own snowtrooper skin, thus allowing me to use the different stuff i usually use for my replacement pack, like pauldrons, back packs and helmets, as you can see on that magnificient picture (provided nicely by my new helper, JLHack7 ) :
better than what i do usually, huh ? ^^ here is another one, less epic :
OTHER PIC (http://static3.filefront.com/images/personal/c/Claim/167992/tnhiirtlcs.jpg)
However, snowtroopers appear to be quite harder to do than clones, as i can't really give them too different colours or different helmet, or else they won't look like snowtrooper anymore ! And i have to do 8 different skins ! Maybe i should give them small colour marking, a bit like clones ? or Keep their coloured pauldron ? Anyway, it'll be a bit harder than usual to make them look really different, but i'll do my best ... If you have any suggestions, they're welcome!
edit : damn ! no more screenshot ! i hate you filefront !

HAhAhaAHaha !! Nothing can stop me now !! Let's start the replacement madness !! First, mustafar clones !
And as i said it's only the begining ! I plan on improving as much FAs as possible !
Disclaimer : The clone demolition expert doesn't have a PLX in fact, so my groupshot LIES.
Lt.Claim
01-08-2009, 21:54
And now, the mygeeto clones ! I removed the 501st clones who didn't fit in and replaced them with gallactic marine and unmarked clonetrooper. I also improved the textures of Baccara.
Still got tons of things to do !
Lt.Claim
03-08-2009, 14:44
Just noticing that my Deltaprime clones (which you alreay saw on this thread) will be in the next replacement pack too, as they didn't made it in the CMP after all ... You can already get them here (http://www.filefront.com/zz+zzdeltaprimepk3/;13935530;/fileinfo.html), or wait a few days befor i finnish the replacement pack i'm working on.
I really don't understand why they didn't implement them after all ...
Lt.Claim
03-08-2009, 18:24
CIS lab now. You'll finally be able to tell the different clones appart !
i think i'll soon have enough stuff to make a new replacement pack !
I got a special small task for you Claim: try and reskin PLX. Making it more battlefront2-like(black).
Would fit the CIS labs clones a lot, since most of them are dark-coloured. Also teh backpacks could get some darkness.
Awesoem work Claim. As I can see, you like clones too ^^
I wanted ask you man if you can do something for me. I'm trying to replace RGB ARC's with RGB Clones because I dislike ARC's skin. Can you try it, please ?
Lt.Claim
03-08-2009, 19:42
@ droid : That's a good idea, plus it will probably be easy to darken the PLX and the backpacks for the Shadowclones.
As for your request greenie, i don't really understand ... I know how to replace RGB models (you can see one in my pack) but i don't see with which model you want to replace the Arcs ... Also i should warn you that replacing the helmeted Arc would be quite difficult, as it would oblige you to replace several other models which are totally different (jet clones, normal clones, pilots, Arcs, a real mess for your FAs!), so it would be best to focus on the helmetless one. Tell me which model you want to replace it, and i'll see what i can do.
Lt.Claim
03-08-2009, 23:18
Here, it's not totally finnished though ... And you can't see the shaders
and greenie, what are you trying to say ?
YAY ! :D I am asking if you can replace ARC RGB Trooper TO RGB Clonetrooper.

Ok, i can do that, but which clonetrooper do you want ? Phase 1 ? phase 2 ? as you can see, i can do TONS of different clonetroopers ;)
Oh yeah. Phase 2 is better, if this one is from Ep3 :)
Lt.Claim
04-08-2009, 12:31
But there is already a RGB phase 2 trooper in the game... Do you want me to make it look different ?
No... I only want have replaced RGB ARC to RGB Clonetrooper. I want play ARC with Phase 2 Trooper.

04-08-2009, 14:59
Here's your replacement, Greenie: http://www.filefront.com/14191663/zz_ep3clonearc.pk3/
Next time, go on the replacement request thread.
If you don't mind it be great to officially use those in the Lab FA.
Thanks Claim but it's not working. When I try select ARC rgb clonetrooper, I have not your replacement.
Lt.Claim
04-08-2009, 16:36
I don't understand greenie, the replacement works fine for me... Are you sure you put it right on the MB2 folder and all ??
As for the CIS lab clones, i'll try to make a small independant pack for the CMP to use...

04-08-2009, 18:49
Well sorry greenie, but i really don't see where the problem is ... But as i said, i couldn't replace the normal arc trooper so i did the helmetless one ... But it seems he's here too (i can see his neck) ...
Lt.Claim
05-08-2009, 12:15
I put the Shadowclones models, textures and shaders in a single file, so it would be easy for the CMP to implement if they feel like it : http://www.filefront.com/14198619/zz_shadowclones.pk3
I hope they're good enough to be in the release this time ...
Lt.Claim
06-08-2009, 20:11
Little update on my work : My snowtrooper replacement pack is pretty much complete now, and my main replacement pack will soon have all the stuff i wanted it to have. I started implementing all kind of random little replacements and improvements in several FAs, principaly in the CMP ... For exemple i made 2 new skins for the Droids in massassi temple to see the difference between the rebel one and the imperial ones, gave all imperial here weapons with custom models from other CMP FA, removed the pack from the droid commander in arena, gave the magnaguard a more sensible holster for his staff in lab ... Tons of stuff like that to make the FAs look better ...
However, with all the patch and fixes on the work for the CMP, and RC4 coming soon, i'm not sure it's a good idea to release it yet, as i may have make fixes for that... and some of the stuff i have in my pack might get implemented but i not sure about that yet ... what do you think ? release it yet and make patches ? release a "preview" version that might get messy with official patches befor the real release ? or just wait ?
Oh, and bad news : i had a lot of trouble trying to make a different model or skin or whatever for my PLX texture and i even lost the textures, so i'm afraid i'll have to put that on stand by a bit.

Hey another new WIP, and to show you i don't favorise clones and imperials, it's a rebel ! Like for my snowtrooper, i forced the skin of the normal rebel on the rebel commando, to get somekind of indoor rebel elite trooper ... However i ended up on having a little problem :
What the hell is that thing on his hips ?!!! A helmet ? a flask ?? somekind of canister ? I don't know ! i have no idea how to skin it ! and I can't even remove it !
Any ideas ? i tried making it look like a pocket, or just putting the texture of the trousers, but the bump is too big and it looks stupid !
That is the actualy rebel, it sucks on the imperials hip and control that human. And turns into a rebel.
Also known as Green Blob.

07-08-2009, 16:56
This the Dilema of the clones and stormtroopers with that mysterious nade shaped item on their hips. Is it a tootsie roll cannister? Drugs? Maybe a pipe bomb or pepper spray? Maybe he keeps candy in there!
By the way, the skin looks nice.

09-08-2009, 15:33
Hmm ... I still don't know if i should release the packs now or wait for fixes, cause there have been so many improvement since my last release, it's hard to keep it for myself! I'd also like to release my snowtroopers, but because snowfacility might get updated, i think i'd have to wait for that too ... Anyway, here is the final product for echobase :
Even if i'm really proud of them and love their look, i think i'll still going to release them in a different pack... what do you think ?
Oh snap, i forgot to put a S at the end of snowtrooper !!

If you're wondering what the blob on the side of the model was supposed to be, look at this picture: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1luLRXKoJM8/SbMJJYWnr_I/AAAAAAAAO9U/gbx5dn0UV-g/s400/rebel+commando.jpg. It was meant to be a pouch, but it came out wrong. This is only by speculation, I'm sure it still could just be a random blob.

Once again, i bring you some hot New reskin, but this time it's not some lame copy and paste job, no sir, it has painted textures instead ! yaay ! I said previously that i was interested in doing it and here it is : The incinerator trooper ! (from TFU)
Oh yeah ! and you can search on google image, it really looks like that ! As usual, i have no idea what am i going to do with it, but since we can have Flame throwers in FAs now, i'm sure someone will be interested by it !
Oh, and i also did a novatrooper reskin, but it's a lot more obscure ... You can barely see it here (http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/8964/novatrooper.jpg). he's a lot better with shaders on!
Don't stop doing em, but you could also start on improving the quality of your skins by using PS and some advanced scratch brushes. Currently they look way too perfect to be real :D.
Consider this a positive feeedback though.
Looks like somebody is pushing a TFU map.

Maybe you outta consider the smaller T-21 from jk2files.com in your replacement. It fits better for all the models. I replaced it but I can't get first person right. I might upload it soon.
TFU maps would only be cool as a Jedi Hunt style gameplay. Where you have to hunt for one person.
Most of the levels will fit.
Lt.Claim
12-11-2009, 21:56
Hmm ... just waking up my old thread to let you know that i'm still doing replacements packs (and also tons of useless reskins) and that i've finally finnished the set of clones that was supposed to replace the one in assault's FA (cause we already had a map with 501st clones and all ...) However, as nobody really plays the FA, i don't think i'm going to release it as a stand alone ... but here they are, and maybe they'll be in the next release of my big replacement pack. i don't know ...
[/URL]
hey, but as soon as new improvable FAs appear or that i get enough good idea for a new pack, you'll have fresh replacements ! For the time being, don't forget to check out the other things i've done ! like [URL="http://www.moviebattles.com/forums/showthread.php?p=581157#post581157"]these packs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0#movie_player), or this one (http://www.moviebattles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28661) !

02-12-2009, 20:00
Hey new WIP here ! you've probably seen it, but Ipod has made new FAs for snowfacility and massassi, and that means i will have to update the replacements pack i have done on them . I decided to start working on it, even though the FA isn't released yet and here is the first part : a swamptrooper (!) from star war galaxies (even though i never played the game !)
(once again, remember the shaders aren't there)
It's just a lousy reskin of the scout trooper, but hey, i think it could fit better among the other swamptroopers (in there totally different armours)...
edit : Nah, it's not really good, forget it ..

02-12-2009, 21:12
A rather poor reskin tbh.
Lt.Claim
02-12-2009, 22:47
yeah, i know ... I've never been good that good at skinning, Just wanted to see what it would look like. I should stick to my good old endless variation of a same model instead of trying to make texture.

07-12-2009, 15:34
Claim,
I came across your Rebel pack today. Good job on the no camo Rebel Commando! Some of the directories of it were messed up and the glove texture you intended him to have was missing, so I borrowed the one from HapSlash's improved Imperial since that was the glove texture you had intended this guy to have anyway, and I corrected the directories in the skin file by changing it from rebel to rebel_commando and fixing the torso texture name for the arms that wasn't showing up. Even the "bumbag" looks good. I like the Hoth variant you made for the model too. The other skins you made for the regular Rebel and Imperial were good as well. Good job!! :)
Lt.Claim
07-12-2009, 18:39
Oh, thank you. I'm the sorry the model wasn't working, i did this pack in a hurry for Ipod's FA. Also, the other rebel skin in the pack aren't really mine, i found them in a huge pack on jk3 files (movie abandonment pack, or something ...). Only the rebel commando reskins are mine.
Lt.Claim
12-05-2010, 17:30
Hop ! little update !
I have some good and bad news ... The bad news is my external hard drive got problems and i lost ALL i had on it, including lots of skins i made ... This means i lost all unreleased work such as the navy commando, commander cody and bly phase 1, the captain rex i had done, All the clones i made for assault's FA and the incinerator trooper (and a few other things ...)
The good news is, i can easily re-do all that i lost and that i'll keep making replacements ! for example, this new one :
Yup, I decided to make my own Hoth rebel commando, because the "new" one MB2 gave us was a bit ... huh ... too white. It's still a wip, but i'm pretty happy with how it looks so far ... It's just a lousy copy and paste job, but i'm really proud of the Shaved face i made for it ! I'll try to improve its pants and boots before its release. It will be included in my next replacement pack !

The idea is nice but I'm not to keen on the Hoth Trooper gear.
This concept always worked for me:
of course most things are better than snow white here.
Lt.Claim
12-05-2010, 19:37
Oh, hey ! nice idea pahri ! This skin can totally be done with the model we have, although it would be a littleharder for me than usual cause i'll have to create new texture, not just steal from other models or paint new one ... I'll still give it a try
Þahricida
12-05-2010, 19:43
yeah ... thats the idea dude.
Otherwise you'll not improve and just do these kit-bashes that players love you for but Skin Artists hate.
