Looks nice; I think the hands and boots could be colored white and perhaps the whole suit could be too because that black would not blend in with the snow that well...

I'm not sure. I've seen shots of military men wearing black boots with winter camo/garb before.

Heck, these guys are wearing full on white except for the boots, but their boots are snow covered.

Spoiler:

Granted, that's from an artist and they're on skis... but still I believe it's authentic.

I do suggest a bit of the top of the boots be a bit snow covered, though.

A Rebel with a trench coat would be pretty awesome too.

I like how it is, white will kill the little variation of grey.

Exactly.

Nice skin and scheme for the 153rd Legion.

Pretty cool .

Thanks

What did you use for the dirt effect? Photoshop? Any specific brushes? Really cool looking man.

Yes, Photoshop. GIMP doesn't work as well with my method.

step 1:
start with a clean white base

step 2:
duplicate the layer twice, so there are 3.

step 3:
the middle layer is turned gray by using brightness contrast, or hue/sat (leaving hue and sat the same, but there's a lightness setting on the hue/sat screen as well, might need to desaturate to keep it from becoming too bluish or yellowish when increasing contrast slightly)

step 4:
use the eraser tool at about 30% transparency or opacity, i don't remember which term is used, just so only 30% of the texture is erased. use one of the brushes that looks like a paint brush, not a circle or blended circle, and one that isn't too dense.
erase most of the top two layers.
the space that is erased lets the actual paint scheme show through, the space that is left behind is where the armor is scratched. the white layer is lighter scratches just in the colored parts of the armor that show the base white underneath. the gray layer is deeper scratches into the armor itself. there isn't actually any dirt, just scratching, like the trooper scrubs it clean but doesn't repaint it.

step 5:
in a new (4th) layer below the 2 erased layers, make the color patterns. could be any number of layers though.

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to write down a tutorial That should be helpful in making some cool looking skins. I'll post em on here once I'm done.

Post FAQed .

Heres few skins that will be in a side mod when ever they release it ar filefront.

Enjoy!

501st, phase 1 troopers
-----------------------------------------------------------

Few random skins. They were suppose to be a spec-ops unit. But that was long ago lol. Wow took me this long to get them going.

Troopers
--------------------------------------------

Very nice looking, you certainly put a lot of effort into your Clone Troopers. Has filefront uploaded your previous models yet?

Excellent stuff my friend.
@Glitch25 he has uploaded some old stuff: http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/developer/Icemember;20266
And he has his own topic here too: https://swbf-custom.forumactif.com/t40-icemember-s-assets
There's lot of broken links, but he is reuploading them.

Perhaps I could ask Ice to give me all his packs and I could throw it onto my Dropbox so that people always have a backup link to go to.

Good idea.

Here is the first effect I've ever made, just got PE working a couple of hours ago. This effect is for a mod I'm working on (Revan know's what it is) anyway, this is for the blasters, whenever they hit something smoke comes out, creating a smokefield on the battlefield. I need to cut the effect size down by like 100% and cut down the particles, but anyway, here are some screenshots.

Good pictures.

Thanks Ice! It was the first thing I did when I finally got Particle Editor working.

Here are a few skins I made awhile back after seeing the Umbara episodes on TV.
Hardcase

Captain Rex Phase II Armor

Credit for original/base model skin: Icemember
The Captain Rex has no model I just used the model for visual use.
I'm also in the works of an Umbaran.

Very nice skins, i like both Hardcase and Rex, and Rex in phase II is so cool.

Very nice skins! Ice, have you put your night ops skin in any of your mods? he looks sick!

I must say, even thought you posted this back then, Great skins CarterA259
