@jesshyland your mesh is 4x resolution to the textures right? 1024 vs 512

georgegroeg · March 29, 2020, 4:21am

Okay now it’s done… I think.

Peyago · March 29, 2020, 4:25am

Great job! I hope this gets absorbed into the game!

georgegroeg · March 29, 2020, 4:29am

I really hope so. I play mainly on PlayStation so the only way I could enjoy it is if it did. I’ve given the file to a couple people to try out. But it’s not the same if everyone can’t see it.
But it was still fun to create.

It would be really cool if they used this as an test case, then @Leahlemoncakes can hold contests leading up to events and holidays to see what the talented members of the community can come up with.

Honestly, my centraforge toon doesn’t go out much, so if they never do anything with it and I’m the only one who can see it, I’m fine with that.
But I might have some more fun ideas to try out later, so a contest could be fun.

Great jobs, y’all - really would love to see your creations be added in the game too!! Can never say enough how much the talent here impresses me!

jesshyland · March 29, 2020, 11:08am

Yeah, we author source textures at 1024 resolution and they’re downsampled to 512 by our export tools.

Great work on the Boundless logo shirt!! I would definitely pay cubits for that, and sport it all day!! I’m mc-lovin it! Haha

georgegroeg · March 29, 2020, 11:35pm

A few people looking good.

FireAngelDth · March 30, 2020, 12:02am

I hope this skin makes it into the game

georgegroeg · March 30, 2020, 1:01am

Me too. I SO want it for my main character on PlayStation. It’s up to the Dev gods now. lol. Seriously. Please make it happen. For the Oortians By the Oortians. Lol. Well call it FOBO… hrrmmm sound familiar.

@james @Leahlemoncakes

FireAngelDth · March 30, 2020, 1:53am

Yup my main is ps4 as well so it’d be great to see yours or @majorvex design in game. I don’t give my pc character much love so that one can just stay plain

Tho I suppose if you’d like it to only be people that passed the trials I’ll have to go do that

majorvex · March 30, 2020, 1:58am

I’ll work on fixing those up & creating some more this week, then I’ll upload them for anyone to use.

georgegroeg · March 30, 2020, 2:06am

Lol. Naw that’s not the case. But you should do the trials. I’ve given the file to only a couple people. I’d prefer if everyone could get it, PS4 players included. I have no problem sending it to you. You helped me acquire that black foliage for the clone farm.

RedY3 · March 30, 2020, 11:28pm

Which programs and what are some general steps to follow in order to be able to access and color/edit the paints. Any easy steps? I’d like to give this a try but I tried going through the replies and I can’t seem to figure out everything about it xD Thanks!

DKPuncherello · March 31, 2020, 1:28am

Download PDN at getpaint.net
Open a DDS texture for a skin you own. They’re in the “character” directory in your install location.
Edit the skin, it is 512x512 px
Run boundless
Viola!

Note: only you will see the skin, not anyone else. It’s a local edit.
Note2: the skins use dark and light green for the two tones of the tattoos. But if you put in a colored texture it will still work, based on the green tones of whatever image you use

RedY3 · March 31, 2020, 1:51am

Thanks a looot. Concise yet understandable for a designing noob like me haha.

So only green shades of whatever i am using will show up in the final skin?

DKPuncherello · March 31, 2020, 2:11am

No. It will use the green channel to determine the skin and will ignore all other colors. The color is determined by tint in game.

Try making a skin with a red circle and a green square. The green square will be part of the skin. The red will be ignored.
