What a strange trip it's been...down memory lane. Here I am, reviewing 15 year old conversations about skinning and going,
 ...and I produced four skins myself at the time!If I had to make a skin for JKII today, I'd have to learn how to do it all over again. It got me wondering, though -- if anyone is still in touch with OneWingedAngel, TheBeast, et al. -- if any RJ are still modding, mapping or, perhaps, even developing games professionally today. I'm very much into the Fallout and Skyrim modding communities, though I haven't produced any mods (aside from an unpublished companion mod for Skyrim) for those games myself, as much as I'd like to. There are already so many exceptionally high-quality mods available for those games, it would probably be a pointless endeavor to learn the ins and outs of creating mods for them. Not many developers/publishers even support modding of their games anymore, unless making garish attempts to include them in their microtransaction fiascos.  I actually fear for the future of the modding community in general at this point. But...let's not get into that. Too depressing.Any news on this front? |

BTB: The absolute best ever companion mod for Skyrim (imho) is Inigo.
See Kinggath's podcast for a little insight on what makes for an awesome companion mod. |

Hey Infinite - I'm actually going down memory lane myself tonight... and to answer your question, nope... I haven't pursued a career in games - I'm just an old boring IT guy now
 I'm having trouble tracking down my old files - but I must have them somewhere. I was a firm believer in backups back then and I still am. So they are still sitting somewhere, but the trouble is finding them EDIT: I see they are still in the download section right here... but I've been looking at all the old site (pcgamemod / jk2files / etc.) and they are all down... oh, well... I would have gotten a kick of reading old comments on those skins and models  -------------------- "Separately, woman and alcohol can be quite fun... but when you mix them, they can make you a dumbass"

May have changed names/URLs/pathing schemes many times over the years, but still up. If I can track some down in my over-flowing bookmarks folder, I may post a list so all ye modders can catch up with what's happening with your creations now. |

Yeah - it's never boring... just ... surprising I guess depending where you're working and with who And... I was hobbying this morning and it kind of hit me. I told you I don't skin or mod anymore... well I've picked up a hobby that's actually pretty similar to that, but it's more "analog" I paint miniatures now - just for the sake of painting. -------------------- "Separately, woman and alcohol can be quite fun... but when you mix them, they can make you a dumbass"

I seem to remember your being more into modeling.  No matter. Any creative outlet is better than none. |

Any creative outlet is better than none. hehe that's true, I think I had an easier time dealing with 3ds Max than Photoshop back in the days ... but I was always starting from something when I was modeling. My 2 bigger project were started from an existing model that I just added things to. And, it way harder to judge symertry and placement when you don't have the help of a digital tool That's why I now I stick to painting -------------------- "Separately, woman and alcohol can be quite fun... but when you mix them, they can make you a dumbass"

When you don't have access to the latest and greatest, you kind of make do with what you have. But, that's okay. "The only way out is through." Yeah? |
