Louis Tomlinson skin

[hka1894]

Alright, this is going to be my last topic for a LONG time lol. I know I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this but my final request is for a skin of Louis Tomlinson from One Direction... Just thought it would be cool to do a walkthrough of the game as him lol. The hair is brown and the eyes are blue. Thanks, guys

could do a rosh reskin

[hka1894]

Are you saying YOU could? lol   Cuz I sure can't do it lol  :unsure:

[eezstreet]

I wasn't saying I could, I was just saying it'd make a good base mesh for it. The facial stuff seems like it would be spot-on.

[hka1894]

Ah ok lol. Do you have any ideas of who could do it?

[hka1894]

Anybody wanna offer any advice or anything? Maybe a name of a user that could and would do this?

If you want it that bad you can try it yourself. Nobody has an interest or incentive to do this skin, of all skins that could be made.

I was highly expecting someone to say something like that...  :unsure:

I'm not saying it to discourage you, but encourage. Learning things like this is great and will help in the long run.

 

Doing that sort of thing takes a lot of time and effort to do. Everyone here is busy with other things. When you make a request that nobody else really has any interest in, the chances for it to be made is extremely slim. Even things everyone is interested in have really slim chances to being made.

 

Maybe someone will be able to pick it up and do it for you. You never know.

He has great hair. I'm gonna go cry now.

...so you want me to make Rosh look handsome?  Lol.  Goodluck, maybe somebody will take you up on your offer.

Making a skin isn't too difficult. Considering he looks quite similar to Rosh you already have a base to go on. First thing I recommend you should do is download GIMP. Preferably the 2.6 version. The 2.8 version makes saving rather complicated. However if you don't like the look of Rosh you are better off searching for a model/skin that already bares his likeness. I don't know who exactly that would be. I'll keep my eyes peeled for something that might work. But I think what you really need is a tutorial on skinning. That is probably the best place to start.

... In what way? I use 2.8 and I haven't found saving problems.

It probably makes you export instead of save. I hate that.

I've heard that the default saving for 2.8 is to an XCF file or whatever GIMP uses and you have export the image you are working on if it is a JPEG. I've also heard that when saved as JPEG from 2.8 it can't be used without saving it as JPEG from another type of image editior.

You don't have to save it before exporting. You can just export it instead of save. I haven't had that issue with JPEGs.

Either way I am well adapated to 2.6.

Worst suggestion ever.. the benefits of 2.8 far outweigh the small change they did to how file formats are saved. And seriously.. it's just a different key stroke. If you want to use ctrl S so badly you can just change the hotkey.

 

FYI, this is exactly how Photoshop has worked for a long time.

False, they work just fine, you just need to turn off Optomize and Progressive (as you always had to, in both GIMP and Photoshop).

I guess my knowledge on 2.8 is rather limited. I was just repeating what I heard. Having never personally used 2.8, or if I have I don't remember, I guess I wouldn't really know this for certain. Just wondering, what kind of benefits does 2.8 have?

[hka1894]

ok I give up. I worked for about 6 hours on this and then my computer crashed or some crap like that and all of my skin files I had are gone. Everything I worked so hard at... Well...I'm not doing it over again. GRRRR!!!!!! Well if anyone else wants to give it a shot, be my guest. I tried though...I tried...

Quite a few changes actually.  docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-introduction-whats-new.htm outlines everything.  Although...hmm....looks like gimp.org is down at the moment, I can't ping it.  Will probably be back up in a few hours.
