Ms Dashboard Skins, Post your Ms Dash Skins Options

[vintster]

hi, yeh ive tried all the appropriate primitives and a few others ;/ and once there mapped and put it into the dash most of em look shitty. with the cellwall, in my opinion, less is definately more. 

problem with the dodech is that once tiled in dash you can barely see the sides.

oh, and vinster, ive borrowed and barstardized on some of yr old bg code  for my skins so      to you!

gas

Yeah, I bet anything much more spherical than a box would lose its definition since you really only looking at a small portion of the entire model.

And glad to hear someone is making some use out of those old code snippets. I haven't really modified any code since JB announced XDN before UIX. Got kinda burned out and just wanted to play some games for a while. Once UIX comes out, I might try my hand at it again.

Anyways, keep up the awesome work!

Where can I get these skins? I've been to allxboxskins and there are only a few. Will the lite ones work with the original THC dash?

[la7eralus]

If your talking about the screens for my dash, its alot more than a skin. You would need the multiple xips making up the interface.

OK, Let me rephrase that "Where can I get the files at so I can inject them and have the newly skinned dashboards?"

hehe, been a lotta braincells since i did anything with lite but customed this for a mate who seemingly has a lot of trouble refreshing menus in UIX lol. Its pm3 (sorta) for lite. has switchable bg's including the actual pm3 bg and etc and blah blah. no dl for this, if you really want it hit me up in the chan. Thanks to merde whose xbx's i robbed and choke who made the original image files.

Anyone still active with thclite skinning?
I'm using a nice combination from parts of my skins and some parts from gasclown for almost two years now.
But there's a nice ASE exporter for Maya around that does not mess up the models so much...maybe I'll give it a try.
So If you use Maya you might want to try that out.

Huumm guess you're all happy with your crappy 360's flash dashboard thingy with halo2 skin.
