EA was really lazy with making BFME 2, we have found that many BFME 1 textures and models have just been taken and put into BFME 2, thus making them look really bad So we may improve those ones if people think we should
Some already improved skinz from lurtzy to give people a basic idea:
-Warg-


-Ithilien Ranger-


-Gondor Soldier- <-WILL NOT BE USED!!!


-Tower Guard-


-Uruk-hai-

Yes! Improve them!

I like the ones already improved, though the Gondorian soldier looks too cartoonish

[Lurtzy]

Yes, I will fix that

Glad you like them
I am planning on reskinning many more units (I am already working on the Mordor orcs )

Alot of positive replies I see

[Elrond99]

You definitly need to improve the metal parts

The Gondor soldier is bad and the Towerguard is not that good either

The rest is quite nice

I´d recommend using the Gondor Soldier Skin which came with the SDK though

[Ridder Geel]

SDK ? (do you mean EA's?)
I will go and look to see what you mean
Lurtz improves a bit every time he finishes one
He keeps on practicing, and as they say practice makes perfect (but then again nobody is perfect!)

Ahh i see
Interesting i will tell lurtz

Now we can see the Tree on the Tower Guard!

[Lurtzy]

You definitly need to improve the metal parts

Yes, that is very challenging for me. Though I thought my towerguard looked pretty good...........Can you be more specific in telling me what to improve on him?

I just saw the gondor soldier (from the SDK) and he looks pretty good. Though my shield is definitely an improvement (IMO)

Edited by Lurtz101, 06 March 2009 - 04:55 PM.

[Ridder Geel]

Yes your shield is a nice improvement

[rutger]

it looks nice, but idd say, put some black leather over it to bring back the movie feeling

and now the warriors have an increased chanche of chopped of legs...........

Interesting post rutger
Good to hear many people like the idea of remaking/doing some of ea's skins

[{IRS}Athos]

Warg: Good
Ranger: Good
Soldier: WHAT IS UP WITH HIS FACE? (bad)
Tower Guard: I liked him better with a fauld (all right)
Uruk: Good

[Ridder Geel]

Soldier will be changed
Fauld? Not familiar with that word

[{IRS}Athos]

Lower body armor... aka chainmail skirt.

[Ridder Geel]

Alright
Maybe lurtz will make that, though thats up to him to decide

[Elrond99]

Yes I meant the EA SDK

There are Gondor Soldier and Gondor Soldier HA Skins (256x256) and I think also a Ranger Skin - but your Ranger is nice, no need to use EA`s

Edited by Elrond99, 07 March 2009 - 11:57 AM.

[Ridder Geel]

We will use both
Randomization
Always fun to make more skins for 1 unit

[m@tt]

Lurtz101, how much of the Ranger is yours?

[Lurtzy]

Well actually, I just resized and recolored guranger_gry (was a 256 texture) and then I added the face 'mask' (not sure what to call that )

So I guess you could say the only thing that is 'mine' is the mask
