Title: aim's Projects
aim - January 27, 2008 09:16 PM (GMT)
I'm back again!
I don't have much free time (study, work, etc..), that's why I will only make reskins and variants (making animals is more time consuming). The other reason is that I don't like coding :aww:
First, I will try to finish the biome reskins and the red panda variants (it's my favourite animal and we need more diversity of skins).
For now, a preview of the next biome reskin that will be released, the boreal forest:

Wow, I love the boreal reskin! Glad you're back and can't wait to see what else you have in store!
ShenTirag - January 28, 2008 09:13 AM (GMT)
Yesyesyes :D I am LOVING the boreal reskin! I'm so glad you're returning to doing fantastic projects, these biome reskins are a definite must-have for any ZT2 lover :)
Tiger Lily - January 28, 2008 04:45 PM (GMT)

More pics:


This reskin will also include a "new" tree. As I did with the temperate forest reskin, where I included fall versions of the maple and the birch, now I will include a tamarack tree with green leaves:
ShenTirag - January 30, 2008 08:43 PM (GMT)
Awesome, more trees, great! :D
Sunny - January 31, 2008 07:34 PM (GMT)

I wonder what aim will do next I think it would be savannah or tundra.
Redfox - February 3, 2008 05:10 PM (GMT)
Well to be honest Aim,I can't have just one pack,I need them all or they dont blend lol.Thas how much I like them.And I think desert next maybe?There's only 3 left though.And I'd like to know where did you get your inspiration from?They look like you copy/pasted some bits of terrain from another game.(just guessing though) and I really look forward to your next one! :=B
aim - February 3, 2008 05:49 PM (GMT)
Well, I work as fast I can.... I don't have much free time for making zt2 stuff (actually I only have time on weekends) and now I have conjunctivitis and I can't stay a lot of time at the PC.
The next reskin will be savannah.
I don't make a copy/paste from other game textures. I use free photorealistic textures from Internet as a base (basically I only used one base texture for all the biomes I made), and then I blend them with the ZT2 textures and I make some modifications with Photoshop.
Whiskers - February 3, 2008 05:52 PM (GMT)
I love all the reskins, they make the game much cooler!
I downloaded the new Boreal and it looks great, Cant wait for savannah!
Sicilian Gorilla - February 3, 2008 11:57 PM (GMT)
I can't wait to DL the boreal reskin. I have to wait to go to the library though, cause my computer messes up with divishare :( but can't wait to see the savannah!

Well, it's like a super-American show, so I wan't sure.
I mean, it takes place in New New York, and all of the cameos are American celeberties.
Animalover44 - February 4, 2008 02:43 AM (GMT)
Let's get back on topic please. :aww:
aver15 - February 4, 2008 05:32 AM (GMT)

The links to the reskins on your site are all dead. Could you put them up again? Thanks! :D
aim - February 5, 2008 01:28 PM (GMT)
Well, the fileupyours links are all dead (my account was deleted). Use the divshare links (click the mirror link, below the biome image).
Sicilian Gorilla - February 5, 2008 04:16 PM (GMT)
Just out of curiosity, could you please upload them to Savefile 2? Cause I love your biome reskins but I can't use Divishare cause of some strange thing on my computer.
Your reskins are great though, they make the game so much nicer looking and real!
aim - February 5, 2008 04:53 PM (GMT)
Ok, I'm uploading the biome reskins to Savefile. Check my website in 30 minutes.
Edit: Done.
Sicilian Gorilla - February 5, 2008 05:41 PM (GMT)
Thanks! I can't wait to try out the boreal ingame! It looks so real!
aim - February 8, 2008 06:09 PM (GMT)
Now I'm going to show you some screens of one of the reskins I am making... the Javan Rhino.

ShenTirag - February 8, 2008 06:13 PM (GMT)
I love the texture on it's side! :) Great work!
Oranguman - February 8, 2008 06:21 PM (GMT)
aim, about how long does it take to make a biome reskin?

Less time than making an animal reskin. But in some way, making the biome rekins is more difficult because I have to make skins for biomes that I have never seen... for the animal reskins I always use own photos (I don't make an animal reskin if I don't have high quality photos of the animal, or a similar animal, that can be used as a base texture).
If I have enough photos of the biome to see its real look and I have a good base texture I can make the biome reskin in less than 1 hour. Actually, I spend more time searching information, photos, etc.. of the biome than making the reskin itself :D
Electric Eel - February 9, 2008 06:49 AM (GMT)
Lovely! You got the head just right. Now it actually looks like a Javan rhino. :D
Oranguman - February 9, 2008 09:49 PM (GMT)
Could you possibly make the savannah have a diffrent rock like you did with trees?
