Skin Display Page

[Vraciu]

Sorry I didn't tell you earlier before you put time and effort into doing those images Arlo. I think the standard screenshots show off the terrain graphics as well as just the skin and are a good advert for the game.

I respectfully disagree in regard to thumbnails.  They look random.   They are not uniform in size or presentation--and the former throws off alignment.  A theme would be a good thing, IMHO.   Argo is onto something.  (But I understand the desire to allow skinners latitude.)

Full size images are a different story since they are on a sub page.   Those show off terrain, etc. as you noted.

Mustang Mafia. I like that. I'll be continuing the project .... but for different reasons. I think they'll look great on cups and shirts. I was thinking of doing a cup and/or shirt for each skinner (of their favorite skin). Granted, I'll have to dig out and dust off both the shirt press and cup press. I'm down to less than 10 minutes per image, now (leaving off the AH logo and image/skinner attribution may account for some of that but I also think my image trimming method combined with a standard background also helps). It's a hobby/project that seems manageable (barely) with my school workload and honey-do responsibilities. If I spent as much time playing the game I might become a decent stick.

I agree they would look good.

Looks good, Skuzzy.

If you want previews surely people like Arlo will make some.   Let us know.

This image does not, in any way, mean that I will provide images against the will of Skuzzy or the skinner. I'm still hesitant to offer any more without universal support for such. I respect the skinners (all) efforts in making this a beautiful game to record and display. I just had this one already made.

FTJR is cooler than the other side of the pillow.   I assure you, he is not offended.

I think Greebo is cool, too. I understand his retaining ownership of how his skins are displayed on the HTC skin page. It's me, now, that has issues. I get kinda anal about uniformity. If the page were mine I'd try to make sure that everything looked like choices of the same product (AH skins), packaged and displayed, as such. This is a volunteer relationship in the AH community and I don't skin, myself. The least I can do is not be the guy on the dancefloor stepping on any toes.

P.S.  I'm glad to see your skins increasing the product line.

If I haven't said so, I appreciate your effort in this every bit as much as the skinners. I think this is part of what makes the AH community unique - it's relationship with HTC.

Also, what's an Alpha Map?   I don't seem to know or remember. 

[Skuzzy]

Some planes use an alpha map to make parts of the skin see-through.  When an alpha map is used, the power map cannot be used.
