Quake reforged - alternative and altered skins!

[osjclatchford]

...following on from a conversation in the qrf thread, Ive decided to open this thread for anyone who has any altered or tweaked skin-work based on or around the quake reforged skins.
I have concent from the team so don't fear about poaching of other's work.

I shall begin with the following head skins:
H_Knight and H_hellkn
I did these for lightning-hunter as he noticed the lack of 'gore' on the necks of the knight and deathknight's gibbed heads left a plain black area.
The gore is the same texture as the gib skins I released (for classic models), which in-turn was inspired by the qrf team in the first place!
Of course, all normals/gloss'/lumas, you may or may not already have, still work with these skins.

Well thats all for now but I hope you enjoy and remember, If you have any altered or tweaked reforged skins, get 'em on this thread, share the wealth!

*update*
preview pic as promised.
*end*


regards
Latchford

I like it, because it has the necessary difference to the regular ogre.

Hi Seven,
exactly! Thats the reason why I gave him new/old weapons, based on fraggers and OoPpEes work, today!

Some month ago Nergal posted a screenshot for the Ogre-Boss and I loved it.
Nergal doesnīt made a update for this great skin so I decided to try my best and work a bit with it...
I canīt wait for this great skin!! I hope Nergal is working on this skin further...

Hello webangel,
Yes, this new ogre-boss skin from Nergal is definitely beautiful.
I hope we will see a sign of life from him again...
It became quite silent around Quake Reforged.

You completed the available ogre-boss "screenshot" very nicely.
I like it, because it has the necessary difference to the regular ogre.

Best wishes,
Seven

Liking the skins - however your gloss maps are insane. Make them 25-50% brightness and it'd look alot better imo.

Thanks ooppee
I think you're probably right, but I like the whole doom3-ish dark-with-high-gloss look. Kingennio's would probably be more your cup of tea, his pack had very little gloss by comparison.

Try to download it and if you can't - then I'll send it to you via email.
At first these skins were made for the Tenebrae, but DP is of course able to carry it.
I don't use neither demon nor Shambler reskins because I have them wonderfully remodeled, so I don't remember if they were done better than variant that you've showed in #183.

I've compared them both - some of his are better, particularly the wizard, shalrath and ogre - but the rest of mine are better, I think, subjectively-speaking. Also his are lacking lumas, and some of the glossmaps are off-center.
So I've edited both, and combined them into one singular pack, with the best of both. I've used his ogre with a severely reduced version of my glossmap, since his was off-center.
The enforcer also doesn't look too bad:


Here's the final combined package. I've added a pic of the shambler in post #138.

Neogenesis only made normals and glossmaps for orgo's or maybe fragger's skins, he did that years ago. His normalmaps are much different from those you've posted above, but are compatible with them.
I've got all that skins expect of hellknight, I'll make and reupload a pack this evening.
But of all his skins I only use ogre's one.

Cool!

Shambler looks pretty good too, but might be better on neogenesis's.

Messed up the link for the demon pic above, fixed-=

The Orge looks retarded, but the zombies look kinda nice, very classic

Quite so, quite so... also the demon looks alright:


Shambler is cool.

xolve, why don't you use Neogenesis's skins with excellent normal- and glossy-maps?
They look much better, the only problem is kinda wrong color gamma of their diffuse textures. But even so I prefer Neogenesis's ogre to Reforged one, even though Reforged textures have much higher resolution.

Never heard of them. Fragger's I've used, and there's the neogenesis item pack, but I haven't seen his monsters. If you've got a link I'll take a look.

That's the full pack above of ogro's monsters plus norms etc, if anyone wnats to pretty it up and reupload don't let me stop you.

Ogro's skins luma'd/norm'd/bump'd/gloss'd

it looks like this knight is wearing a daedric armor

Seanstar's hlknight (which the norm for this is from) is even moreso.


I took the liberty of running ogro's set through their paces using insanebump (Irrlicht Engine • View topic - Insane Bump: A free Alternative to Crazy Bump) and photoshop - to see how they'd look - they're quite low-resolution, but the bumping/norms/etc helps a bit:




They're a bit cut-and-paste, as I didn't have time to fine-tune the luma's, and went overboard on the gloss possibly, but they don't look very good without the high level of gloss.

If anyone's interested in downloading these, post here and I'll upload a link.
Cheers,
M
