ScottyGEE's skinning competition Discussion

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 3:17 am

Well...This thread is for discussing rules, how to's and whatever else that relates to my competition...

Judge wannabe's, just post that you wanna be a judge and your skinning background (if you have one)...If you don't, DONT WORRY! I'm employing a range of judges so I can get a good all round opinion to the entries so I can determine the winnar!

Its up to scottie, but I think you should. Some skies are better for certain atmospheres.

I have no skinning background what so ever, but I know how to critique things.

I'll not be judging this time, but that doesn't mean I'm not in support of this contest. If I find time, maybe I'll enter. I know I say this every time, but I've been wanting to skin Burial Mounds for quite a time now.

Contest looks good. I hope there are a lot of good skins too.

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 11:56 am

Yeah you can add skies

Il judge if you need, ut it looks like youll have more then enough people. And it wont be like last time i was supposed to judge and got sent away for two months.

Ive done alot of skinning in the past and have always come up with original and new ideas. I know what i like and i know what flows well. I look for complete skins which are not only well thought out but well executed.

I'll judge!!!!

Can't really find the time to mod...but I can still judge!

antszy101 · Post by **antszy101** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 2:42 pm

scotty, why dont you seperate the competition into two groups? One for people who have skinned before and one for the noobs? Taht way, more people will get into it

SingingBlaze · Post by **SingingBlaze** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 6:42 pm

I will judge. You know my background well enough. I also plan on entering when I get the time.

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 6:48 pm

No...Discuss anything

And thats good to hear Shade

shade45 · Post by **shade45** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 6:51 pm

Ah ok.. I've got a question.

Can we add things like creatures to the map?

-Legendary- · Post by **-Legendary-** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 6:58 pm

Yea like dead bodys too?

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 8:14 pm

You are allowed to add anything that doesn't change gameplay unless otherwise stated...
E.g, dead bodies do not really change gamplay, rocks do not.;..Adding a wraith or a banshee does change gameplay...
Moving weapon spawns, changing weapons, run fast, "please baaaan me"

do affect gameplay... Hence being dissallowed.

Adding creatures should be fine...I would like to know the context of it at some point though so I can see if it will or will not work...
But skinning should be about skinning, creatures, scenery and new skies should not be at the forefrount of the skin...The new bitmaps should..The other stuff adds to the skin but does not MAKE the skin...
