🎨 [COMPETITION] Get Your Body Paint Featured in Boundless!

But my point was that I would rather hope this style of bodypaints stay as player-made mods, instead of the exchange.
The diaper can go when we’ll have some actual 3D armors/clothing to replace it, IMO.

You don’t think georgio’s skeleton would be better without a diaper?

I do

would you guess this pattern is from in-game umbris texture files?

DKPuncherello · August 19, 2020, 11:07pm

I would not

I agree @anon34275467, I really just want clothes… but that is why I currently have body paint anyway. Hoping to get something that fits the theme of my creative world for screenshot purposes .

You guys do realize this is a competition for new body paints right?

Made this last year, haven’t had time to try and make body paints but here’s my contribution xD
Btw there are some pretty cool ideas

Quick one put together, calling it Hunters Flow. Brighter colors to make it more fun

Now I’m done. I should stop messing with it before I mess it up.

It makes sense that it is a file that you put in and the game recognizes it.

How do you save it (file type) and to where in the game files ? O_o I would love to put something together and test it in the game like you all are doing.

i use gimp 2.10.20 that you can download for free (open source super paint)
you need to export the finished files in .dds (not save as, export, took me a bit to figure out)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Boundless\assets\characters\base_race\textures is where i replace the original files with the modified ones

kasaisaru · August 20, 2020, 3:08am

@Tagris the more direct way is doing what @Lesioui is doing.

Personally, I use Illustrator to design everything. Only deviation from my process here is that I’m using Photoshop with a plug in to export to a .dds file.

I do test drive it with Blender along the way to make sure it’s mostly working.

I put my gangsta and skeleton paint together and it kinda reminded me of sugar skulls. So I guess this is a sugar skeleton…?

Then I saw @Buugi post. And thought YOLO!

Because you’re so generous with your cookies. @BabyCookie

kasaisaru · August 20, 2020, 4:09am

I feel like there’s too much going on with that. Maybe dialback the gangsta paint a lil.

georgegroeg · August 20, 2020, 4:14am

Oh yeah. It’s way too much going on. But still looks kinda cool. I’m keeping the gangsta and skeleton separate as well. I’ve got a couple other fun ones I’m going to try.
