Just drop it Kwen
English seems to be the barrier, not the bridge

But still, everyone can draw big textures... But having them big in the game is useless, because it sucks up alot of space in the mod, making a bigger download, and the units are very small in the game anyways
If you were making a mod for a newer FPS, it'd be another matter
If your Legolas and Witch King are 1024x1024 size textures, it doesn't show.. You could've gotten those fine on 512x512, or even 256x256

I really don't see any issue with making textures 1024X1024. You can always resize them later on. All my textures for my mod are at least 512X512. You do notice the difference if you have a camera and zoom system implemented (like in RJ).

I just made a 24000 by 24000 texture by using the difference clouds filter... I'm so awesome.

Used to do 1024s all the time, but I've gone back to 512s for must BFME uses. It's far more important to have consistent effective resolution than it is to have large textures period. Super detailed weapons on low detailed bodies for THE LOSS. Larger textures also don't mipmap well in this game.

There are no unit 1024s in TDH, by the way - I drew a few (usually the crappier looking ones) in 1024, but all resized down.

Don't listen to this guy.

He's a fraud!

If you want to become a really good skinner, you have to be able to use 2048x2048 textures. That's the cold hard facts, plain and simple.

If people can not draw big textures, he's not a good Skinner. Although , I do not, think i "Dad of the world texturing"

Eh what?
A crappy skinner using 1024 skins is still a crappy skinner.
The real challenge is to make a skin look as good as possible using a 256/512 image.

Textures aren't penises we aren't impressed when you bring in your 12 incher
(I hope that makes into someone's signature )

I won't have it in my sig but I agree on it .

That just made my day

[Spartan184]

That's funny Rad

[Master Windu]

By the way, in case my sarcasm wasn't as evident as I thought - my post above was not serious.

And yes - it is much harder to make a good skin with a low res texture, but no texture size whatsoever defines the skinner's ability level.

Hm...I almost thought this was one of my older skins. I don't think that it is - I shaded the metal a lot more on mine - but some of the details (ones that I doubt would be the same on every reskin of the unit) are identical in shape and positioning...it almost looks like you might have traced mine...

Understand, I'm not accusing you of plagiarism, just some of the details seem too close for coincidence.

[Kwen]

I've looked at Eldarion's TG skin a lot. And it does look very similar.
