Description
Just a doodle of Skeev being emotional - believe it or not, it was actually a commission from my friend who happens to be a rabid Skeev fangirl.Decided to try out the new outfit for this, but it turned out to be a disappointment as far as texture goes. I totally hate having to repaint half of the image to hide the lousy mats. *sigh*

My god, that leather is sweet. So much damn detail, and the lighting is great.

whatever you did (I have no idea about all that texturing stuff), the result looks great!

Well, what I did was repaint all straight lines and curves - which basically means all edges - to remove pixelation.

sounds like a hell of a lot of work.
but it was worth the time, if you ask me
& you're most welcome

Very cool, I guess you inspired from Geralt's outfit from Witcher 2 when you made the armor? good result
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, the armor is heavily inspired by Geralt, though I am not the creator of the model, Xurge 3D is. 
Anyway, glad you like it!

Nice character shot with good lighting and obviously a great job at fixing the textures, hon!
I loved the look of that new item when I noticed it a little while back in the Xurge shop, so your review really makes me rethink my idea of buying it. I hate it when the maps are lousy, too.
Can you at least try to re-texture the separate parts of the object yourself, or is it just one map for the whole model?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There is just one map for the whole tunic, one for pants, one for boots and one for harness. Sword handle mats were so misaligned I had to blur them to hide the errors. Total fail, if you ask me. Oh, forgot to mention - the good looking scalemail that you can see on his elbow is actually my texture - Xurge's mat there looked beyond bad. Sadly the only way to replace it was to turn the whole tunic into a flat scalemail and then just cut and slap the appropriate piece on the render in Photoshop. Anyway, my point is - if you want to have that outfit, wait until Motif release their mats for it. Hopefully they will... and soon.

Wow, that sounds really bad. I'm used to reworking many parts of my works in Photoshop later, but this sounds like the original is not really worth the money. Thanks for the information, and I'll keep an eye open should additional textures make the investment worth my while in the future!

You know, I thought it was me when it came to the textures on his stuff. Some of it is not bad. But I've had to fix stuff in the past too. And not just his either, drives me nuts. Anyway, the image looks great!

Xurge's mats look very good from a distance. For close up renders, however, and especially if they are done at high resolution, the textures fail to deliver. Oh well, that's what Photoshop is for.
Thanks, Mel!

Yes, from a distance. I've often snapped up any texture packs for them. And you are welcome!

Mmm he's hot

Of course he's hot - it's Skeev, after all.
Thankies, Lou - glad you approve!

There's *another* rabid Skeev fangirl out there?! Back off, he's mine!
The textures, the hair, the tear, it's all marvelous. Seriously, this may be the best render of him I've seen yet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, there is another one out there, but no worries - she is well aware Skeev is yours. Besides, I keep her on a leash whenever she gets near a pic of him.

I just got this outfit last night, haven't had a chance to run it through the PP2010 yet...that bad huh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it's actually as bad as most (if not all) Xurge textures, I would say. Texture for each piece of the outfit is done in a single 3000x3000 pix, low dpi .jpg file, so you get the idea... bump/displacement is bearable, I suppose, but the rest... ugh. Here's hoping Motif guys will release a tex set for this outfit SOON.

At least this a first outfit where it's not SciFi and it doesn't have the "skirt" that all of his items seem to have if they're in the Fantasy category. I wish he'd put in more morphs...but I think he's the guy who could create the Drizzt armor, I've asked but he's never replied

Motif's textures are lifesavers when it comes to Xurge's stuff. They add so much quality and life to the outfits that it feels almost like a miracle - no exaggeration here, they are worth every dollar spent on them.

Okie dokie I will give them a better look-see. Thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yeah Xurge's skill set is more into modelling than texturing. Thank goodness for Motif.

Awesome, awesome textures.
But with this particular outfit, you should definitely check out this [link] to save yourself some time in the future
You did a better job than any of the available textures though, that's for certain.

I'm using Poser, so lack of DS mats was not a problem for me, actually. The problem was low resolution of the textures that resulted in horribly pixelated lines and curves in the close up image.

you are very welcome !!

Wow! The textures throughout this work are fantastic!
