[Skin]Banshee and Ghost made of pure gold.

Another mod of mine out of complete boredom:

Gold Banshee and Ghost

Just inject the dds files in the appropriate places stated on the file name. If you want the super glossy finish like in the picture, then you need to swap the meta data of the pistol_cubemap with the cubemap_banshee.

experiment with swapping different cubemaps, if you find a decent result then post a pic. :wink:

Here's what it looks like with the visor cube:

Have fun.

Mr.Brightside can have his opinion. Please, let's everyone drop it before an argument starts. 8)

I like it. A lot. Love how it actually looks like gold instead of just gold-colored. 9/10

Would be so much better if you had just changed all the purple parts to gold.

Still, looks nice.

Thanks for all feedback guys, much appreciated.

It wasn't just a simple overlay by the way, I edited the skin, the multi and its alpha layer, edited the detail bitmap so it was perfect, that alone took like 30 minutes and its just a simple one color bitmap, changed the cubes til I found one I liked, then did all the same with the banshee.

I know your probably thinking, well thats not alot, but this was the first try at using alphas and changing things to shine etc, I respect your opinion Brightside, but this was mearly a test to see if I can use alphas properly, thats why some parts have cubes and others don't :wink:

I must say, editing the multi to get the perfect amount of shine and/or glow you would need to make it look like gold would take a long time to do.
