FAQ
This is a section dedicated to the many questions I receive in the mail
I plan to add a bunch soon, but I have limited time, so...
Q: Can you make me a skin?
A: Yes, but only if you are willing to pay.
Q: Have you made any quake 2 skins? (The dumbest question I've ever been asked)
A: I think you know the answer to that.
Q: How do you make skins/textures so good?
A: Practice, experience, time, and a few other things that I've picked up along the way. You just have to put your mind to what your doing, and don't stop when it looks bad or takes a long time.
Q: What's the best way to change the colors of my skin?
A: Time is a matter of who you are and how much experience
that you have with the program you use (i.e.: I just drew new arms for the q2 player skin
in one hour).
there are a few ways to make something a different color, and I use PSP for recoloring,
etc. so I'm going to explaining it with that program.
The Q/Q2 palette way:
1. Load one of the custom palettes that is the color line you want for you color. (If you
don't have the custom palette, they can be downloaded from my page)
The Q/Q2 palette way #2:
1. choose a color that you want to replace, and choose the color that you want to replace
that with (since PSP allows you to choose 2 colors at once)
2. Use the COLOR REPLACER (on the toolbar) and click over the area you want to replace
colors with selected places size, tolerance, etc.
That is about the simplest way to do it.
For non-Q/Q2 palette recoloring,
1. Click, COLORS, ADJUST, RED/GREEN/BLUE
2. there you are given the choice of what colors you want to change you image to, and if
gives a small preview of what you will see.
(note: you must load the quake or quake 2 palette after words so that they will work in
game).
Those 3 ways are the main 3 that I use, and the best thing to do is to work in 16million
colors then load the palette when you are done. That way you have more options with what
you can do, and your skin will look more realistic.
