Woo! Okay, suggestions. I'm sure there are many more skins of good quality out there, but these are some of my personaly favorites, which I have kept over the years even after multiple pruning of my Quake 3 folder. They're fun to use and fun to look at, a combination made in Heaven

Headless Hossman

King

T600

Apokalypz

Chain

Rampage

Torque

Dragon

Analeyes

Nakita

Angelique

Death-Ranger Previously mentioned, and for good reason

Laerth

Terminator

Jade

Prototype 6

Necroscope

S3 My all-time favorite Quake III skin  

I'm really not very impressed by the stuff in the previous two posts. There are ofcourse exceptions: Torquemada is great - but what does warhammer 40k have to do with Generations? :]

A lot of the skins weren't made from scratch (bits of id skin) or are rather dull and pointless (chunky's rampage? I'm working on a rampage skin, but that will look like the original Quake2 rampage )

Just repeating the main point in my previous post: If we're going to release a Generations skinpack, I strongly feel it should represent one or more of the generations (or the vadrigar's experiments on them )
Anyone can download the above skins and install them to their liking - I just don't see what they have to do with us :]

I tried to keep my suggestions in tune with each Generations. I mean, I didn't post the Tron skin or anything  

I do, however, agree with you Tabun. Original content would be much better, assuming you guys would be willing to devote the time and energy to it.

you go tabon,
let me know if you need any help.
never done any skins,
the shapes are already done.
it would be weird drawing on the flattened out patterns.
P.S. I realy do look like my avatar.

Just to show my willingness to take a look and the fact that I really considered some of these skins as add-on options.. a quick review of 3 skins GamesKeeper mentioned in the previous post.

1 - Deimos



Ah yes, the name. A name worthy of a very cool skin indeed, if any. Phobos was kind of a bullshit skin in Quake3 if you ask me, but it looks very cool. Let's have a gander at this Deimos version then.

First thing you'll notice if you study the above picture: 60% is original Quake3 Doom skin. So what we're looking at is basically a glorified Doom-skin recolor. Wait, did I say glorified? That wasn't the word I was looking for ... :]
The bits that the author added are very sadly aliased, making it look as though they were splashed over in paint. Wheverever he/she's touched the skin, it has gone very dull indeed. It's basically a monochrome bitmap in those area's.
For a good example of detail-inconsistency, compare the grey holster with the pants they're stuck onto.
Sorry, but this one 'll never make it on my list of acceptable-skins. I might steal the name and do it a bit more justice later on though


2 - Daemon Knight



A nice concept, and not bad for a first skin, as the author states it is. It even has very few bits that weren't made from scratch, bravo :]
On to less jolly news: It may be a Daemon Knight to the author, but I don't really see why.. Looks more like a 'Daemon Cyborg Spawn' to me. The author has some skill, but that hasn't prevented him to fill up most of the skin with horizontal gradients (much like what people mostly used when skinning for Quake2 ), and an amazing amount of huge cut&paste rivets. Again, not bad, but still lacking in the colour department.
I wouldn't even add this one if it had anything to do with Generations at all.


Then there's, for example, the Strogg Freak. Although I personally don't like it, it would do for a Strogginized version of Grunt - The theme is right, the concept kicks arse ofcourse ;p. However, we HAVE a Stroggish-Grunt. Grunt now has a shitload of Lee's Quake2 remakes, and a handful of my own. I'd say he's done for a bit ;]

I could go on, but this 'll do, imo..

Anyway, there's very few Generations related skins out there, and very very few of those are worth looking at. Polycount was a nice idea, but it got clogged by shitty recolors, 'first timer' skins and tons of unimaginitive and bland bitmappage. I say we can outdo them easily - while keeping in style with the rest of the Generations artwork.

Define "we".

I want original Generations-themed skins done by WHS. For the quality that they're capable of, not needing to ask permissions to use them and the skins being designed around Generations makes them better than most all other skins you could find on the 'net.

Skin away guys  

I agree, there are a number of talented skinners both in and associated with Wirehead Studios. I'd prefer a Wirehead skinpack to any group of skins cobbled together by other artists.

lets give TAB our wishlist then .

1) a deimos skin would be cool (we have already a phobos )

2)some new ranger skins that fit into the team

3)maybe a remake of the doom/phoenix skins ( I know the author I gues , but I dont know where you can find him )
http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/info/...unleashed.shtml

4) maybe somekind of colorskins like ranger has for generations right now , but then for ALL the basic q3 models .

At the moment, I'm planning to do these skins next:

- A nazi skin for earth - Possibly fat and possibly insane nazi pig (biker)
- Another nazi skin for earth - Think about the RtCW nazi leather bitches, and picture mynx among those
- A deathknight for slipgate - Or any other kind of daemonic/zombie knight in Q1 style that keel will allow

What happens next I'll have to see by then..

- The Deimos skin is optional, provided something original comes to mind - just ANOTHER color variation of Doom would be a waste - If anyone has any good ideas, just let me know.
- Same goes for Ranger skins really - It's just slippy.. - I might make a daemonic slipgater version though - somewhat like the deathknight, perhaps
- And ofcourse, indeed, maybe a Phoenix skin, just as an ode to the bird :]
(on that note, I might make every hardcore WireHead team member his own skin, just let me know what you think of that, and whether or not you'd like one )
