Shield Skinning Contest - Be Famous!
 
3 Attachment(s)
Okay, maybe you won't be famous... but who knows? It might be fun.

Here's the deal: I need lots of shields for my weapons pack, so I'm giving the community the opportunity to skin their own additions. Don't get me wrong, I can do these all myself if I need to, so it's not a request, it's an opportunity :).

There are three shields (so far, though I don't intend to make any more): a round shield, a kite shield, and a tower shield. I want several variations of each of these for the finished pack. I'll probably do 3 or 4 each myself, but if you guys want to take a whack at them as well this is the time!

Some guidelines:
-No paintbucket. I will not be accepting any skins that are primarily flat colors.
-No photosourcing. When I say this, I mean no complete photosourcing. For one of the skins I borrowed a decal from a real picture, but for the most part the rest I did by hand.
-Must be realistic looking.
-Don't be sad if I don't use your skin. Otherwise I'll be sad :cry:

That's about it for guidelines. In case you're more of a player model skinner, I'm also accepting medieval-ish player skins, as well. However those are just fluff.

Remember, the mod will go on with or without you, so if you want your moment in my particular spotlight, act now ;)

NOTE: I've included the UVs you'll need. Any parts that are currently skinned you should probably remained skinned that way. If you want to make a metal shield or something like that get in touch with me and I'll provide full UVs.

I also can't distribute the models, but the UVs should be rather straight forward.

I tried skinning the kite shield, and it ended up looking like crap, so I gave up. :D

looks good buddy, but id suggest to either model on that sphere in the center, or give it more contrasting shadow around the edges.

Well, I decided to take a break from mapping to *attempt* to make a Viking Shield because I couldn't bare to see it being left out, although this really sucks because I never could do metal well but I suppose this might make other better skinners to try!

Just felt like making an old, slightly damaged looking cross shield, don't know if you'll want it particularly.

With a couple of tweaks, I think that'll be a keeper. I'll check the others sometime today, as well.

Thought this would be a relaxing break,and it was.
This is my Elvish inspired design.
A little bit of photo sourcing but mostly hand made,so to speak.
The inlay i designed myself using an LOTR John How design.
I then carfuly placed each peice around the rim to creat a gold leaf like effect.
I used an ancient hand pounded brass crest and desaturated it to look like silver.
then put 2 more pieces of inlay in the center garnishin the Horse Lords helmet.
Again i did this for fun.
I wanted to do an HR Geiger inspired motif but i thought maybe that would be a little to organic.
Use it or abuse it,but im curious to see it on the model.

Well, I finally made a shield that I'm pretty happy with. Nothing spectacular, just an old, battle-scarred shield. Couldn't have taken me more than 15 minutes. The only photosourced parts were the wood texture and spatter, both of which were later modified by me. Anyhoo, here it is.

I might make more if I'm bored enough, or if some idea hits me.

So what about mine? I'm not saying it's amazing or that you have to use it but I would like some feedback.

Re: Shield Skinning Contest - Be Famous!
 
Heres something i whipped up in 20 minutes using my uber cool new Photoshop CSWOOT!!

Erm.. anyway, This was based on a French era, but I mixed in a few ideas from the Imperial Guard Shield from Morrowind. nothing was photosourced, and I think its simple, but effective =\.

Re: Shield Skinning Contest - Be Famous!
 
Yeah, I've gotta admit. It reminded me of those ceremonial shields you'd see in great halls that arent actually used for combat, but once were, and have been repaired and restored with a cloth finish =\. Weird I know.

It kind reminds me of something high up captains would use or like the kings that fought ah go figure...

These shields I made yesterday. Once again, they're nothing special, but what can I say? I was bored. The first one is just some shield I made up. Nothing photosourced minus the blood spatter. The second one is based on an actual shield seen here. Nothing was photosourced on the second one. Dunno if they're good or not, but I'm pretty happy with 'em.

Not bad at all. I'll check them out one the models later.

laserbeak, you should skin some kind of denting onto the square shield around one or more of those gashes... you dont get deep long scores like that on metal (under combat situations) without having some kind of dent.

Duly noted. If Inyri decides to use the shield, I'll go ahead and fix it up with a few dents.

I like the looks of them. The wood one (that was you as well, wasn't it?) looks pretty good in-game too. Just make those scores and dents a little bit more realistic and pronounced and it's a winner ;)

I may have to make a second version of the roundshield model that's... round.

I was going to do a Captain America one for novelty value but realised it was flat. I was also thinking about a greek shield.

Well I can easily round it up while keeping the same UVs, so it's definitely not a big deal ;)

Well, I fixed up the shield, adding a few scattered dents and messing with the scratches a bit. I think it looks decent enough, but that's up to you all to decide. http://forums.filefront.com/images/smilies/smilie.gif

I also went ahead and made a new shield, based on this one. Like the round shield, absolutely nothing was photosourced, unless you count the fact that I used the polygonal lasso on the picture to get the correct shape for the gold bits. :D

Anyhoo, here they are. Feel free to let me know if anything needs changing or tweaking.

Re: Shield Skinning Contest - Be Famous!
 
Ahh, forgot about my thread! Whoops :p

I got a couple more shields added tonight, so we're up to 10 shield choices, I believe. Those last couple look good, so I'll see about adding them as well.

you need the model to put it on =/

plus, the resolution is terrible, it looks like youve taken a screenshot from the game and cut+pasted it.

Ye i got it working in the game and by the way this is my first model
