Hey guys, look what I made;

I'm not sure If I want to name it "Storm" or "Rockslide"... or something to do with the paint scheme or wep... lol
I can't see anything, could you put the pictures in your LF album please?
It's nice, but the white line around the gun is a little um...distracting. If you saved a layered version, you might want to just erase a little around the edges. If not, there's not much you can do.
That's not a bad commando, I hope you don't mind but I posted it that I way I didn't have to keep switching between the tabs ;)

okay quick note, try making the symbol over his heart 50-60 opaque that way it looks like it was painted on the armor, instead of just changing the color of the armor fill the armor highlighted the color you want with about 55 percent opacity ;) that's all I can see right now, not a bad commando if I do say so myself

Thanks for the tips(and for your compliment). I'll be sure to check that out.
I kinda like the name Rockslide for this one. the coloring and kind of bulkyness (the hayabusa head) makes it fitting for him.
btw which program did you end up using for this?
Serif Photoplus 6. It works pretty well, but I just have to get used to some of it's kinks. The layering for it sometimes messes me up, but it's what TXH is using, so it should work fine. I just need to practice a bit more. this is my second or third that i've used with this program. So, I think it works pretty good for being free and all. :D(btw, I might not be on very much 'cause I just lost my mobile-internet-card. lol. But I might be around some wireless... hopefully.)
WOW THAT PROGRAM WAS FREE!?!?!?! That is definitely a program that I would use (if it works on mac).
Great job on the commando like it a lot.
For anyone who wants to do this and needs software Download
Serif PhotoPlus 6 (
http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/software/PhotoPlus/default.asp) &/or Gimp (
http://www.gimp.org/) Free!!
Adobe Photoshop works great, but is very expensive. Other programs work too, use what you're comfortable with
Nice...but I think I'll stick with my Photoshop :xp:
Here is Norvits (finished hopefully) with two different blaster pistol versions. If you have any suggestions please post

Also I was thinking of trying to make a helmet variation like Neyo's (
http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/3/35/Neyo.jpg) , if anyone would like to try this please feel free to do so because it is going to be a while until I will get it done.
I can't right now...
here are the symbols on his armor ;)

I did a test with the EVA head from Halo 3, it came out okay, and I finally got the glow from lightsaber on armor look perfected ;) I have the nogun eva head model if you want it, I'll post it if you guys want it ;)

Go ahead and post it. it's always useful to have everything to work with.
Alright, give me a sec ;)

I already added the lightsaber glow on the armor and helmet for you ;)
I have a question Liwar, when you add the decals on a commando how do you do it, mine looks like clear stickers, yours looks like paint, how do you get that look?
^: The trick is to make slightly transparent. I persdonally do 70-60% opacity, so that be 20-30% transparent. Thats also how you do paint in odd places, like the black under armor stuff.
I use several different techniques. I guess the one I use the most is I copy the section of the clone that will be colored and paste it as a new layer. Then i double click the layer in the layers pane which opens layer style. I then do a color overlay(or whatever it's called) and recently i've been setting it at "hard light" but i usually just scroll through to see what looks best. I actually rarely use transparencies now.
I do the same thing as Da_man but I do 50-60 % opacity, I'll have to try what you do Liwar ;) and I've been experimenting with different types of coloring and filling...
Thank you General Liwar, I love the way you do it! It comes out with a lot better results (I think)
Here's my first commando using Liwar's method of coloring...I named him Verd it means 'Warrior' in Mando'a

Hey, guys, have you seen This thread (
http://lucasforums.com/showthread.php?p=2489381#post2489381)?)
BTW, I am going to be gone for the next 2 weeks, so later.
Yes, I've seen it before ;) too bad I don't have KotOR :( And peace out man, see ya in two weeks :)
Oh and I've made my own Sev, I learned a few more things and I think he turned out pretty well :D

Get it, you won't regret it. :xp:
BTW, excellent Sev, I'd just make the blood splatter a little clearer.
Ah, okie dokie, I can fix that...All I did was sharpen all of the "blood" layers...it came out pretty good
http://www.lucasforums.com/picture.php?albumid=83&pictureid=889)
Nice job, all it needs is the crescent shape that i think is on the chest.
Sorry I have been afk for a while!
Which one? Sev? I saw a new picture of him and I'll fix that up when I get back from church ;)
I tried to make a helmet like Neyos but it did not work out at all, if anyone wants the pictures of helmets I have please post.
Alright I fixed Sev, and changed a couple of things ;)

i have a idea, how about the baby blue scout helmet and armour,i forget the name, w/ neyo's symbol, a conncussion rifle and a Blue Saber + animated electricity on the concusion rifle please, call him Delta Shock
I'll get to it tomorrow, I updated to Photoshoop CS3 today and I don't know how to make an animation in Photoshop, but I can learn by tomorrow or the day after that ;)
my program is a little outdated so animations like that get a little dissolve-ish instead of glow/fade/electrical (my photoshop came with imageready to do animations and stuff). M@RS what you basically do is make the pic once, then modify the electricity a few times saving each pic and use an animation program, or there might be an animation toolbar you can pop out and select which layers.
I'm learning Flash, so I might be able to do the animation there ;)

thanks, and wat i meant by scout was recon:lol: finnaly remebered, recon armour for Delta Shock
btw, is it possible to make the blue saber just the hilt hanging down from the belt on his armour like the jedi do whene theres arwe not activated
+ a turquise plasma shield and purple jet pack, plz
Hey Dark_Storm, I think your sig is just a little too big. Just telling you before a moddie comes by.
@ M@RS: The easy way to animate stuff is to start out with basic image, copy it and paste on to a new layer. then modify the first layer the way you want it, I.E. electricity. Then, modify the second layer so that it loks different than the first one. And then you have a basic animation.
BTW, I wish I could help, but my grampas computer doesn't have photoshop.
:eek: Wow, I updated to CS3 yesterday, and am so loving the new features, and Flash :clap2:
Hey guys! I'm back from a long break. Some of you mite remember me. I have a question. I downloaded gimpshop the other day and was really confused with all the menues and stuff. I would like to try and make my own commando, but have no clue in the world how. Are there any tutorials you guys made I could follow?
thanks.
I'm pretty sure i included a readme in the package on my website with a couple instructions on making them. I don't think we have any other tutorials, more or less us communicating how we did it in some of the many posts on here. I'm using photoshop so it's a little different, but you can check my package out anyways
http://genliwar.googlepages.com/Commandos.zip)
NEW PACKAGE!!
http://genliwar.googlepages.com/RC3.zip)
like it! like it! like it! Thanks for the new package LiWar definitely going to use this!
Yep No Problem, I've had that ready for a while, i just wanted to wait until i had enough stuff different from the last one to put in. So it's got the basic signature pic file/lightsaber hilts/eva head/no gun models... I made the readme a long time ago when i thought i might have to take some time off because of how busy my schedule was going to be (basically the package was originally made to keep this going in the event I had to stop) so everyone can ignore the I'm too busy to make them part for now.
I'm going to make a basic cape again (for the christian clone, i just made two capes and layered them before erasing around the clone) incase anyone else wants that for their pic, but it'll have to be a supplementary file until my next package comes out. I'll post it when i'm done
Here is another attempt that I think can be adjusted to look like neyos helmet. (in black)
http://www.lucasforums.com/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=913)
I see what you're going for there. I'll give it a go when i get a chance.
Very nice package, I just got home from swimming...I love it
Not bad with the Neyo head, but I'd darken the space where the visor meets the top of the helmet, and darken where the pointy thing is on his helmet.
Thanks. I'll see what happens...
Finally updated the site, i always hate making new pages so i tend to wait until i have a full page or 2 to do (except for when I'm uploading my own work b/c it's easier to make a new page then search for the image later). My section (
http://genliwar.googlepages.com/mine10), the others section (
http://genliwar.googlepages.com/others14), and blank models section (
http://genliwar.googlepages.com/blankmodels) have been updated.
As for modifying the Neyo head, it can be modded on a need to do basis, It took me a really long time to make it and i don't feel like doing much more with it. Feel free to make changes to it though, i was just making something to start from
Very nice...I just got in a car accident :( It's been an interesting day...
