Title: Grog the God Slayer
Post by: hoss20 on November 15, 2009, 10:15:33 PM
   I came across Doctor Challenger's skope of Grog and saw that it needed a skin (if there's an existing skin, please let me know). I haven't picked up the latest Thor annual that he's in, so I don't know if his costume has changed. Feel free to use it as a placeholder until someone makes a better one. The download location is here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/hoss20/

C6- I got the skope from Doctor Challenger's Yahoo site (link below, if you need it). I had some problems with the reflections, too, but I honestly can't remember what I did to fix it. I just know I did a little manipulation in Nifskope (including the chest bands due to some significant clipping). I would be more than happy to send you what I have if that would help. I am very much looking forward to your version, by the way. Your work has always been the standard and your latest stuff is just amazing.

herodad1- You can find the mesh here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/docspantheon/

For a first showing this is a very nice skin though I would turn down the refl layer a little.

Awesome ... a childhood favourite character. When I first started reading comics, one of my regular reads was Thor, and the first storyline was Seth invading Asgard, creating Earth Force, etc.

   I decided to take Afghan Ant's excellent advice and tone down the refl layer. I really wanted to capture the blue metallic feel, but overdid it a bit. I think this version is more subtle and works better. I've posted the update at my site: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/hoss20/ . Thanks to everyone for the comments. I really appreciate it.

You could experiment with different lightmap files, to see some cool effects on the metal of your skin.
