MOD: The Dark Knight Skin - PC

[CaptainJack]

Might there be a way to put the dark knight skin on the batman Inc costume?

Hey Njits,

Yeah, if there were a way to remove the batsignal element from the chest piece it would be the perfect basis for a better TDK suit; the suit is much more streamlined, the ears are pretty much the right length, there aren't any huge gauntlet pieces to worry about and the belt could be redesigned to be film accurate, easy.

But yeah, that chest piece ain't gonna move unless there is a way to edit the model itself, so at this stage its not gonna happen unfortunately. I'll keep investigating the possibility though.

Maybe you could make it a bit different then the movie version were as the the dark knight symbol would fit in the chest logo giving it something of a unique touch. Think about it would it look that bad? I think it would still look awesome that way, anyway keep up the good work!

Hi. There's a picture on Deviant Art I found that basically encompasses my ideal Batsuit: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&se...+suit#/d2er9ml

It's armored (I prefer the approach the recent films have taken -- skintight fabric, even with carbon nanotubes and whatnot, just isn't as appealing), black and gray colored (none of that annoying blue tint on the default costume) with an aesthetically pleasing chest logo (as the vanilla Batsuit in this game has already -- never liked the oval with yellow background much), and it has the white eyes.

I understand if you can't get all the details right, but I'd be immensely satisfied if you got something even a little closer to that. I figure that since you've already made a "The Dark Knight" skin and this image uses elements of that as a base, it would be a relatively simple matter to just alter that skin a little to match that one. But I don't know much about modding, so if I'm wrong, well, I'm wrong -- a premature "sorry for sounding presumptuous" if that's the case.

(Copied from my post in Vance's Mod thread, because I was mistaken about who made the TDK skin.)

That looks really great.
The only problem I have with it is that the boots look too... generic. They look almost like normal boots, that someone would wear with regular clothing when going out somewhere, rather than something Batman would wear when stomping criminals.

[Red_Aviary]

I suppose. If CaptainJack makes the mod though, the boots will look like the default (but recolored) since there doesn't seem to be a way to remove the armored pieces. Or at least, there hasn't been a retexturing of the default skin I've seen yet that has the armored boots or gauntlets removed.

Thanks for the TDK skin, it's my favorite. IF you get time could you color the belt black and upload another version? I would appreciate it.

Hey Red_Aviary, that costume design looks really cool. I'd like to have a go at making that for you, though I'm quite busy at the moment with real world stuff, plus I've already promised a few other people some mods so I may have to work on it after those if that's cool with you.

Hey mantab, you're welcome dude, glad you like the skin

Changing the belt to black should be pretty simple. When I release my new version in the coming weeks I will make sure to include a black-belt version for you. No worries.

Cheers guys,

CJ

Would be awesome if you could consider using the earth one costume to make a Dark Knight skin as well!

That's perfectly fine. I'm in no hurry -- I just wanted to get the word out, so to speak.

EDIT: Oh, one other thing... it might be a good idea to get permission from the artist. I didn't take that into account earlier. >_>
