my first one is very simple mainly I was seeing how the textures were unwrapped and just experimenting. Once I get my copy of Pulse I'll be able to experiment a little more with better designs.
What's this? Looks like Feisar has a new sponsor?
haha their color schemes were so matching it had to be done...
He's looking for the Jaguar shark craft I guess lol
Niiiice.
Look at my MiG Triakis. Can't get it to work online, could someone please help?

what about it is not working online? does it not show up in the list, or is the skin all convered with random pixles?
// mdhay
Restart the game and try online again, works for me.
the black part infront of the cockpit looks like a dog nose to me!![]()
mdhay, have you got the "multoplayer & sharing > online account > ship skins" option activated? I've never had it switched off so I'm not actually sure what it does.
On a subject all of my own, I'm looking for a bit of help. Is anyone at all experienced with steampunk artwork? I've been trying for aaaaaages to make a steampunk-styled Goteki and I made some real progress tonight, basing the design on a sort of brassy carriage clock look. I'm really pleased with how the 'arms' are turning out but I'm totally stuck getting the back end to look any good. At the moment I'm using a sort of embossed Wip3out Goteki logo but I'm not sure about it. Anyone have any clues or tips? I really like steampunk, I just can't do it

Another view
and another

I've got six browns saved up to make the wood look good, but I'm not going to work on that until I know where it's going.

//All who responded
They dont show up on my ship select.That thing is on, too.
Defor, that is excellent work. I attempted something similar with a Feisar a while back and it turned out a disaster but you've really made it work. The middle one with the white really looks like a work in progress and the metal parts all look like they could have a use - I'd totally believe it. Looks great.
Nice presentation too!
Ok lets see…
Kanar, you are way too modest, your ship is far better then some of the ships around here.
-------------------------------
AXX interesting EGx. Where did you found the idea? Is it a game?
The Goteki is fabulous again, as for some help about the development,I don’t know …have you checked this
http://www.brassgoggles.co.uk/brassgoggles/
maybe you’ll find something there.
Also here is what I found http://www.altavista.com/image/detai...nk&q=Steampunk
Looks like a 2d plan.
------------------------------------------
Quakka, oops, I might have made a mistake about your ship. You know when I saw “ork” I had in mind “orc” as in Lord of the Rings. ‘tupid me. Still I’d love to see more detail on that ship. So where is it from this “ork”? some sort of Tolkien’s Universe reinterpretation ?
---------------------------------------------------
Ash-Omen, Wau man !! that is nice, really !One suggestion though if you don’t mind, the gray stripes would have made a bigger impact if they had the orangelook, like the …”ribbon “ you find inside cd players, you know? Just a thought.
--------------------------------------------
The Muse, the Feisar looks like you are ….in love?Just kidding. Looks great but pink is not quite my cup of tea.
The RedBull looks promising, don’t forget to use some gray too for a complete effect. What about an assegai with this theme, I believe there is someone in Custom Ship Skin Requests who keeps his fingers crossed.
--------------------------------------
Alex_Se, nice beginning for your 1st project, how about a variation in the size of the hexagons?
As for the second ….there are too many pixels on it. It looks low resolution somehow. But mabe this is what you wanted. The man on the ship ….is it from Populous ?
----------------------
Mdhay, …………as much as I try to see a MIG ….I can’t. The colors are well picked but it takes a lot more to make a MIG then just a black colored nose. Search for some photos of the plane on the net. If you want I can give you some links. Also you can find here http://grekir.freehostia.com/wipeout...mf/browse.html a concept for Qirex Mig. Maybe it will inspire you. Don’t take it too harsh, you’ll see, it will feel a loot better after you’ll finish the skin in a...serious manner.
--------------------------------
Defor …….………….
……….
……..I just don’t believe my eyes.

my oh my , it ROOOCKS . EXELENT work and presentation. Can we hope for a sequel for the rest of the ships?
![]()
------------------------------------
As for my self ….I’m preparing something, end ’30, beginning ’40, aircraft resembling and …yes in the same slow approach: pixel by pixel just with the online editor, so …by the end of the week hopefully I be able to “proudly present” my “humble masterpiece”![]()
Defor, those are really ace, I especially like the presentation image you've made, really shows them off well.
Thanks Ricane, that's a really cool blog you linked, though I'm not sure the altavista image link worked.
What do you think of this, anyway? Pressure and temperature guages added.

Thanks Ricane! The pink Feisar is for my fiancee, who also plays Pulse. Ill start on a Red Bull Assegai after I finish my current skins.![]()
Response to Ricanbleu... Could it be a wo3 prototype MiG?
Also, bear in mind I did this on a laptop at my mates house, and his browser likes to go back a page.
Well I hope you found something inspiring. As for the 2d link, sorry but I also got only a preview. I just thought you could make an idea on it. It has the link to the site http://www.20threed.com/ where it supposed to be. I didn’t found IT on the site but there are also some fine photos related to steam punk.
As for your progress, IT IS BEAUTIFUL, as all you do by the way. I love the pressure and temperature gauges dough I think a black underline would make them more eye-catching. I know the wood gives it a Victorian look but I would go only for different metallic materials. Also, I think a more rough metal look would be better then the painted yellow. Maybe some of your Feisar rust could be added and some silverfish metal and chrome. The Goteki logo I think that could be changed for a plate with a full name like this http://www.20threed.com/images/3d/Neba_logo.jpg
Of course these are only suggestions, just do what you do best, any suggestions are under what you could come up with.
-------------------------------
The Muse, boy do I envy you. I wish I’d had someone to be not just understanding about my time spent on Pulse but even play along. You’re one lucky man.
--------------------------------
Mdhay,maybe I was a bit harsh. I think I just wanted bring up the ambition in you to make a better version. Triakis is my little baby and needs all the skins it can get as there are only a handful, probably because of the complicated skin layout. Again the colors are good, the craft is marvelous so with more dedication a masterpiece can be created. And …ok it is a wo3protype mig

I didn't even get a preview, I just got a "We found 0 images" page.
The metal is supposed to be polished brass rather than painted yellow but I agree it does look too yellow at the moment. As for the logo I'm trying out your idea and I think it's looking quite good, thanks ^_^
Edit: I've reduced the amount of red in the brass, which I think looks much more convincing, I've also totally overhauled the wood which I think looks much better now. I've done some work to the nameplate too, which I think it looking better, though it needs some kind of logo in the spare space.

Well, I've updated the skins one final time for bugfixes, and they're available for download and use at:
http://www.eastrain.com/?p=4
Thanks for the compliments, I have also posted up the older versions as well as my original template on my site if anyone needs a slightly more precise base for the ag-sys.
Taking requests for the next team to do a similar treatment to.
defor , a wonderful job at all levels : ship skin, preview and site design. Also your AG-SYS Template is pure gold especially for the people who create their skins on the 3d model.
Yesterday I was impressed by the level of detail you placed on all 3 versions. But now with the 2d plans in front I just cant believe what you have done with the “striped” version. It is like it has been there all along and you just took out the panels to show us the inside of the ship. Boy I wish I had this level of craftsmanship.
As for “Taking requests for the next team to do a similar treatment to.” I have only three words to say, one for each stage of display : TRI-A-KIS, TRI-A-KIS, TRI-A-KIS!!!(after all it is the team who had to loose the championship in FX300 in order for AGS to win it, so in a way they go together now as rivals and the 2 faces of the coin.)
------------------------------------
AAX brilliant work, I started to read again the The Difference Engine because of your Goteki.
I suppose it is going to be a personal skin after all that work so please when you finish could you post some photos from all angles so I would have it in my photo collection at least. Also I was thinking about the letters in the name, you could make the letters in old english style (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:O...h_typeface.svg ).
It would bring even more to its image but I don’t think it is possible given the complexity of the letters.
-------------------------------------
It just hit me: we have 5 slots for the custom skins; we also have 5 models of ships for one team (classic, alternate, eliminator, zone and concept) so …you see were I’m going? I believe in time all the models will be available for custom skinning. What do you guys think?
Last edited by Ricanebleu; 6th February 2008 at 09:38 AM.
Hey, thanks Ric, I've been trying to get classier lettering but I just don't have enough pixels
Of those models you mentioned - classic, alternate and eliminator are the same model just with different skins, so there are only really three models.
Anyway, here are those pictures you asked for:

This is probably my favourite skin that I've made so far, works nicely accompanied by a bit of Vernian Process. I'm still not sure if I'm going to uplaod it or not yet, however, I am going to do another steampunk skin - Probably a Joules Verne style Piranha.
