Who wants to skin the new ball?
Here's your chance:
http://www.deathball.net/temp/Ball.zip
(copy paste url or save target as)
4 files in that zip
The .dds is to paint the skin on (will most likely be rescaled to 512x512)
(need the Photoshop DDS DXT plugin)

3 jpgs: 2 pics of the ball model and 1 concept sketch.
Feel free to make your skin and post it here, or email to
davidm@planetunreal.com
We'll use the best one.

I think we should have an NA ball and an euro ball (maybe an australian too) in the same package, so na server and euro and maybe aussie server have a different look depending where the server is
Also, I hope there's gonna be a vote or something for the choice of the ball.

1 ball is enough
if there are lots of high quality balls and we cant decide, we'll do a vote
but as long as nobody attempts to skin that thing we'll not have a new ball

For those of you who may not know where to get the DDS DXT plugin, you can grab it here:
http://download.nvidia.com/developer/NV ... te/dds.8bi
Requirements
You will need to place the plug-in (dds.8bi) in C:\Program Files\Adobe\photoshop 7.0\plug-ins\file formats and this required dll (msvcr71.dll) in your Windows\System folder.

make the ball skin so it is easily customizable form server to server.

Are you insane? More options? They've already got the choice of sprint and curve, what more could you want?

Lucky you are lead designer and not some skinner, or db would have gotten ugly

Actually DavidM, I think that's a pretty good skin. Not professional quality, but still good.

I don't think DavidM's ball is great, but better than I could do at the moment. I would think you would want something brighter and that would go with the yellow rings effect. That's if your planing on keeping those.
