One day I stumbled upon a nice jeans zipper picture on the web, and I had that stupid idea to make a crazy UF1 skin from it. You can find the result of some experiments attached.

I am not pleased by the result. It does not work well in-game. The main feature of this skin is on the roof, thus not visible most of the time. The jeans texture is not easily recognizable, especially in the low resolution online version. Thus I am not putting more work into this.

For everyone who wants to continue where I left, there is a layered source image from GIMP 2.2 available. It is packed with 7-zip (why 7-zip? - because my upload is limited, and 7-zip came out 1MB shorter than zip and 200kb shorter than rar at highest compression). Do whatever you like with it.

It's cute but the post belongs in the UF car skins section specially created for posts like yours

Al, as a moderator you should know that thread is only for finished skins


Looks pretty good mate I think it would have been beneficial to have made this on a 2048 res skin, using Bunta's skin kits from Master Skinnerz

That's a great idea and a nice looking skin!
Though jeans-texture looks a bit blurry to me. Can you beef the resolution of that special texture up a bit? The rest looks good!

Thanks. Indeed, the texture isn't too good, but I could not find a better one. 99% of what I found were normal scale photos, not close-up macro ones. The rest were either low resolution, or out of focus, or hard to tile, or otherwise not fitting the design.

I'll go look for it, thanks. I visited that site looking for textures, but I guess the skin kits have not caught my attention. It is my first try of making a "real" skin (others were only: load default template, apply random filters, test how it looks ).

:hihi:

I'm a Levi's Silvertab man myself, but I like it.
