Armor Tinting Experiment - Page 2

Wow, all these look great! Why can't we tint our armor like this in game? Grr...:smileymad:

Ok. I just swapped out the picture of the blue fulginate, and put a screenshot of fulginate in 4 colors. There. :smileyhappy:

Hannalynn · 10-08-2005, 06:59 PM

I made some new images of the Defiler AQ tinting.. thought you might like to see them ^_^ I'm having alot of fun with these heh, a nice break from sig making === Original: Almost a solid greene, keeping some depth

Some kind of fusion pink: A washed out rusted browne

The colour said Lillac, but this looks more like light violet: I call this one O .M .GOrange

A deep violet: This is my favourite one... a rusty blue:

Teal or aquamarine.. which is the more green?: And of course red SMILEY

I'm just not huge on the out-loud colors. The bright reds, pinks, etc...

unless the art dept has figured out how to desaturate and retint on the fly you need to remember your color will be going over the original or 'base' color of the armor. so light and/or muted tones will be ruined or at least muddied. This is one of the problems presented in EQ1. They'll need to either create armor skins that have no color or color over the top of the original. I'd rather see them come up with a set of reasonable ranged 'natural' colors to offer rather than allow RGB sliders to create some of the eye bleeding colors I saw in EQ1.

Totally true .

Heh... so right, but rumor is that the MAIN reason is they are woefully understaffed. (resources were held on DoF longer, while other teams could do things that benefit the core game as 'their' part of DoF)

BarryT · 10-19-2005, 04:39 PM

I do hope that this post has been paid much attention to, some of the art work here is truly fantastic.

Sir Ka · 10-19-2005, 08:51 PM

Those medium armors in the first post look so bloody awesome :p That midnight vanguard armor looks great too. They should hire you as art developer SMILEY

Ironmeow · 10-19-2005, 11:34 PM

this is making me depressed, the players can take 10-15 minutes out of their day to tint yet the artists/designers had a year and still nothing.

Taubin · 10-19-2005, 11:51 PM

From LU 15... This gives me a little bit of hope, and aleaviates one of my biggest "complaints" about the cobalt armor

- Crafted Cobalt armor is now blue.

Cobalt Blue 4TW

Ironmeow · 10-20-2005, 02:00 AM

its not really blue, its more like a black with 2% blue

ScamprinSlippy · 10-25-2005, 07:58 AM

the pics done by the original poster are the best i've ever seen of armor tinting examples, would LOVE to see this implemented in game

xandez · 10-25-2005, 11:37 AM

Amazing pics here... hopefully that kinda stuff is implemented SOON! ++Xan

Dimgroth · 10-25-2005, 12:16 PM

Thats brilliant! I wish SOE had better art devs, this is getting rediculous, I just got my new month of eq2 game card and already I feel so bland compared to something even as simple as guild wars, which I enjoy becuase of the feel. I love that Midnight polished parade, if they had actual usuable armor that looked like that with the new midnight tint, id be in love with this game ^ ^ The wood elven monk with different colored gi, WOW! What a difference, I mourn the loss of competant game makers SMILEY

One word: Amazing.

A quick job and there's a new robe to show for it. Damnit I hope that Blackguard isn't spewing out BS about new armour graphics coming. SOE could do this so quickly and their fanbase would expand dramatically. Someone in management isn't doing their job right.

Findara · 10-26-2005, 04:44 AM

I got kinda bored and had [Removed for Content] of a RoI. I think both of them are better than the normal RoI. I think I have sceen teh green one before but not on a player. This one dont look so hot but eh I was on a roll and having fun SMILEY

Sinkat · 10-26-2005, 08:06 AM

If it were me I would add a ton of new armor into the game, because there isin't enough variety, but if they can't even do tinting then they should at least start by it. The tinting on the one who opened the thread are awsome, just amazing and would add great inmercity in clothing, they should really try taking notes from here and see what a diference can be made in armor just by changing its color.

Good Luck!

Doylen · 10-26-2005, 12:57 PM

*Drool* GIVE US TINTS NOW! =)

Dimgroth · 10-26-2005, 08:35 PM

Please, the suspense is killing me..Soe, do SOMETHING, it really would be simple to tint a few things and bam! New flavor to the game, even a simple black robe, pure black, would be ideal for me and my dark mage which I havnt touched because he looks like a priest, a badly dressed priest.. I would love for that midnight color to be on armors, and maybe a winged helm of simular make, that would be..divine... Do it! You know you want to, you want people to enjoy your game..dont hold out because its easier..

sootyuk · 10-27-2005, 02:33 AM

The annoying thing is, that i know there are some nice robes in the game, just very low lvl robes. For example I found this Soft Fur Robe with my lvl 15 Paladin, If only i could find a Lvl 40-60 robe in the same style, or with a few different colour combinations. For those of you artistically inclined, this is a nightmare screengrab to tint.

Ironmeow · 10-27-2005, 03:35 AM

yah i agree, it seems like someone is getting lazy and making all the crappy stuff look good and the high end stuff look crappy.
