Modded Skybox #2

Someone's been busy with photoshop.

Whats that?
Blue light.
What does it?
It shines blue.
;p

I dont like the blue one, sry.
The yellow is awesome, the red is good and the green one is ok.
(You should take a darker green)



Ah, and good work Multi :CONGRAT:

just added a darker green

Now I'm going to have to get back in photoshop shape, at this rate you're going to beat me :x

I really like the last red screenshot. Purdy!

*considers the red as a new background for sins.bz*

Yeah the red is pretty cool

I was also looking at modding a planet those are insanely detailed, and so confusing with all the squares

It only works on a simple/dim star field. If you take an ingame screenshot with it it'll work well But I really like the planet shot you have on the site, too

As for the planet, it's an actual 3d object so to really mod it you'd actually need a modeling proggy, I imagine (like Maya, 3dsmax). You might be able to create a Photoshop texture to slap on it, but I doubt it'd look very pretty But I don't really know how that's set up in Sins..

:CONGRAT:
nothing more to say

yeah same, thats why i haven't changed :p


would love to see how its done, could be very useful for further modding

Modeling planets in 3dsmax is not difficult (I used to do a little), but unlike Photoshop, there you just wrap a texture around the planet, you can't play with the textures like you can in Photoshop. So, for Photoshop the only real thing you care about in a texture is the pattern, but if you want to texture in 3dsmax you need the finalized texture that would actually look good wrapped around a sphere and make a convincing planet.

So, you'd probably have to use Photoshop to create such a texture, then import into 3dsmax

Again though, that's unrelated to Sins, there was a thread about mod-modeling stuff by people more knowledgeable on how Sins treats it, I'm just talking basic functionality/differences of the two proggies

*head explodes*
dang sounds really harder then i had imagined :NOTSURE:

But to the artists of the planets and skybox's, wow i gotta say that the detail is amazing
Just when you play the game you dont really look at all the details in its full glory, but when you open up a planets texture and looks at how detailed the planet really is, one has to be amazed about the work that has been put into it

And just think, we haven't even gotten a finished product! (Last I heard, the planets we're looking at are placeholders, right?)

Pretty! Me likes!

added 2 more images

Allright, nice pictures.
Wery nice indeed!!!

Keep up the good work Multi!
And show us (mainly Paradoxnt and me) some more!

P.S. Plese do more green, it´s my favourite colour.

2 more screens been added, a yellow-brown and a neon-green planet with same color skybox

Wow those are awsome!!!! Too bad I'm up North this weekend(well, more up north than usual).

OOO nice I love them!! My personal favorite is the second to last one. OUTSTANDING! :LOL:

sooo multi, when are these going to be available to to be added? before or after your done with beta 5?

soon

There is no beta 5

There we go, you can now download the modified textures

meh... so multi gets all "danish™" and begs me to post here because he needs my approval...

so...

I wrote a huge reply here, and as usual the forums never posted it, it was a beautiful post, so degrading and making fun of multi and his lackluster work, it brought a tear to my eye as I wrote it, so much hatred and anger flowed through the words of my reply, sadly to be lost into the nothingness of the interwebs...

sigh... // downloads the file

LMAO!!!!!

they look amazing even on this crappy machine! Is there anyway to make a sky box color appear?

and does anyone know how to load sins from a certain file path so I can keep a modded an unmodded game?

options / effects then click "use colored skyboxes" or continue to do so until you get what you want.



copy the game into a new folder and put the modded files in there
