[Showoff] Reskin - Warhorses of the Elements

[BlackEagle]

Awesome really like the Ice one.
Might wanna make an earth-ish reskin for one.

[s3ph1roth]

Steed of Valour and Icewalker Stallion FTW! Those 2 are really good, but I'd suggest some revamping to the Shadowed Charger, it looks too much flat to my eyes. Waiting for arcane and earth horses

[liaa]

I'm so at a loss for the arcane. If I were to do it the model would HAVE to be somewhat transparent but at this point there are no released tools to do this.
Shadow is already fixed up considerably, although the condensed youtube video doesn't do the original justice.
If anyone can point me in the right direction for changing modelswap's alpha values, I will +rep you for the help. Ehhh? Briiibe?

[lysaara]

Surely you can just do it with an alpha channel in the texture? Only thing mucking with the M2 alpha values is good for is making the whole model semitransparent, which would look weird.

[liaa]

Naw, unless the M2 is set to read transparent .blp files as transparent, anything with an opacity of 0.000...01% and over (sometimes even 0%) will read as a solid (or pure white), respectively.
Unfortunately, this makes things much harder.

[lysaara]

Ah! Yes, that makes sense. Does Cryect's tool maybe do that then? Just a suggestion.

[edit] Yes it does, get Cryect's tools and use the M2Modder to set texture blending to Alpha blend - or Additive blend for the semitransparent glowing look like on the Spectral Tiger :3

[liaa]

I've tried Cryect's to no avail.
The program shuts out by he second command.
Should be
u
0
etc...
but soon as I hit 0 in the (0-3) option the program closes. I figured it was due to the change in M2's as of 3.0.x however maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Hmm.

[s3ph1roth]

Then just pass over the idea of making it transparent xD Just make it of the typical colours of the arcane school of magic, like white, purple and cyan. Put some runes on it maybe?
OFFTOPIC: aren't there any spirit horses ingame?

[liaa]

I guess Im just a perfectionist :x. And as far as I know there isn't. Shame, I could use some inspiration.

[s3ph1roth]

Why don't you work on an earthen horse while waiting for your arcane inspiration?

EDIT: since you got me interested in your works, I've made a horse of mine which is a mixture between arcane magic abuse and necrophilia




Purple fur, cyanish bones like X-Rays: it's a mixture between a normal horse and an undead one. Since I can't make it transparent, it ended like this. It's just ugly, isn't it? This is what is born from my boredom of a rainy sunday afternoon. Use it as your source of inspiration
P.S. If anybody's so much twisted to ever want this edit of mine, PM me because I don't wanna make a thread for it, it's just crap xD

[karlov]

I read a comment before about arcane- That'd be pretty awesome if that was do-able.

[liaa]

Haha christ, I don't think that's what I'm looking for. Thanks for the idea. ._.

[neese]

very nice good work

[Blashan]

[Blashan]

Really nice job done
