Dedbone: a new skin for the Bones model (Download included)

[WendyB]

Originally, I finished this skin in 2006. At that time, Polycount had stopped posting skins, so I never released it, thinking there was no community left for it. Now that I found this place, it seems like a good time to release this skin afterall. However, my painting skills have changed a lot since 2006, so ofcourse I heavily reworked it to bring it up to snuff!

I hope you'll enjoy this skin! I'll be tackling the Mynx model next. I expect that will take a while though, as I've been very pressed for time lately.

Very awesome. Looks steampunkish. I think this is very possibly one of the best Q3 skins I've seen.

Awesome. It's rare these days for someone to show up here out of the blue with an amazing display of skill, be it mapping, modelling or skinning. I'm liking it

Just a minor suggestion, if using alpha channels, you might want to paint out beyond the edges to take care of texel mipmap errors. There are a bit of black edge aliasing by the ribs.

Another cool skin, keep em coming! Have you done any weapon/item reskins?

[WendyB]

I'm glad you like it, guys!

Good catch, obsidian! I can't believe I missed that, LOL. I'll keep it in mind for next time, since I also already submitted this version to the Worldspawn Archive.

I haven't done weapon skins before, but I've done props and level textures. However, those were for other games.

For Quake 3, I've only done models and skins. The models were made a long time ago though, and they are absolutely terrible!
I hope to do a new one sometime, though I have to find the time first.
