40oz Posted July 24, 2009 Is this texture pictures of kevin clouds arm with wood borders around it? I was analyzing what material this texture is made of and noticed the hairs on my arm flow in the same direction as the 'scratches' on this texture. 0 Share this post Link to post
pavera Posted July 24, 2009 rofl Now that you've pointed it out, I can definitely see it. 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted July 24, 2009 Well, next time I make a map, I'm going to exclusively use that texture so I can call it "Tribute to Kevin Cloud's Arm Hair". =P 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted July 24, 2009 I never spotted it before but, yup, it looks like a hairy arm to me too. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted July 24, 2009 Jeez, you ruined the texture for me :( But yeah it does look like the exact same material as the fist 'weapon'. 0 Share this post Link to post
EarthQuake Posted July 24, 2009 Well, the sliced-open, bloody skin texture was already revealed to be a snapshot of a wound (I think Kevin's knee), so this doesn't surprise me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Toenail Posted July 24, 2009 Hah, nice discovery, looks suspiciously like my own hirstute arm 0 Share this post Link to post
Lizardcommando Posted July 24, 2009 Heh. Wow, that's an interesting discovery. Whodathunkit? 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted July 25, 2009 Wasn't that already known? I am positive about the wound thing, and recall that the "skin" textures are actually skin...but skin as wood...heh 0 Share this post Link to post

I am positive about the wound thing Yeah, In the book "The Masters of Doom" it is mentioned that the team were taking photos of things to use as textures, and they took a picture of a scab on someone's knee (I can't remember who) and used it as a texture in the game. I'm pretty sure this is the texture: 0 Share this post Link to post

That was hard to place on anything. I just realized how long I've been here. Damn. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dreadopp Posted July 25, 2009 Heh, interesting. I never noticed that before. 0 Share this post Link to post
Abyssalstudios1 Posted July 25, 2009 I'm starting to wonder about other fleshy textures now... 0 Share this post Link to post
NoWits Posted July 25, 2009 Yeah, SKINFACE is from Kevin Cloud's anorexia experiment during sunbathing. But honestly, I always thought it was lowly hanging wrinkly skin framed in wood. When I was younger, I thought SKINCUT and SKINSCAB were horiffic. This texture didn't really make me feel anything. 0 Share this post Link to post

Creaphis Posted July 26, 2009 Odd. You're all freaking out and I don't even recognize the original texture. Is it only in Doom 1? Where is it used? 0 Share this post Link to post
Super Jamie Posted July 26, 2009 It's SKINLOW from DOOM.WAD. It's on the walls in E3M4 with the two crushers and 3 switches. 0 Share this post Link to post
TheeXile Posted July 26, 2009 Odd to discover that hairy arm skin textures have become marginally more disturbing than the game's ample supply of strewn corpses and entrails. 0 Share this post Link to post
Super Jamie Posted July 26, 2009 All I see is a bunch of Kevins all standing in a row holding their arms up against little wooden frames. 0 Share this post Link to post
Butts Posted July 26, 2009 It's also at the beginning of The Courtyard in Doom2. My arm hair looks nothing like that... It's all straight. 0 Share this post Link to post
EarthQuake Posted July 26, 2009 Well if anyone needs to do some fist or arm weapon sprites, you know where to get some filler texture from. 0 Share this post Link to post
Creaphis Posted July 26, 2009 So, what we see in those screenshots is that a thematically schizophrenic texture is actually right at home in a thematically schizophrenic environment. It's strange how all of those textures still kind of feel like they belong together. 0 Share this post Link to post
TomoAlien Posted July 27, 2009 Ughh... Well actually it's interesting. I always thought it was wood, but now i can see it's arm hair. 0 Share this post Link to post
Use Posted July 27, 2009 Butts said:It's also at the beginning of The Courtyard in Doom2. My arm hair looks nothing like that... It's all straight. I also used it in map27 of cc2. The hair on my arms is so thin and light you can barely see it. I'd fail at Doom textures. 0 Share this post Link to post
