Christ, that's not the engineer.... that's an astronaut who got eaten by the Vashta Nerada....

I see what you mean... But this is just a re-skin. As far as a texture replacement can go. I can model, and have made some Giger inspired stuff:

Dune's stil-suits were also Giger's design, btw... If somebody made a tutorial in how to create a full-body character, I would have gone all the way. There were not that many SE skins made when I published this... So as a "fanboy", bit harsh.
Yagger 28 Jan, 2015 @ 2:48am 
The problem I see here - and it might be just a "fanboy" point of view - is that a simple re-texture is not enough for a Giger astronaut suit. Because Giger's surrealism is more based in his abstract shapes.

Example:

Even though you used his colour template i have another image in my head when i hear "Giger astronaut suit" :)

But as I model as shit I cant offer help here or make it better at all - good day sir.
Virakotxa  [author] 27 Jan, 2015 @ 4:43am 
Well... Sorry you two didn't like it! But it's 100% made out of Giger stuff. So it looks pretty gigery to me.
Yagger 25 Jan, 2015 @ 12:06pm 
Sorry sir, it doesnt look Gieger at all :(
gornyakmaniac 2 Jan, 2015 @ 2:38pm 
Not sexy enough for Gieger
Sebforce116 29 Sep, 2014 @ 12:33am 
cool :)
Zaffre 12 Sep, 2014 @ 4:27am 
he should have counted the shadows and stayed away from them
Virakotxa  [author] 6 Sep, 2014 @ 3:01pm 
Yeah... What screwed your save was the fact of me setting it to private. The "error" it had, was due to outdated code: the model couldn't use thrusters. That would have been a minor nuissance... Won't happen again.

When I would load a specific world it would not load and then the game would crash, but thanks for puting it back up
Virakotxa  [author] 6 Sep, 2014 @ 1:27am 
I am really sorry about that... I wouldn't took it down if I knew that. It was a matter of avoiding new subscribers, but it didn't crash the game or anything...
LordMoneyNew 5 Sep, 2014 @ 6:54pm 
Thank the 8 that you have re-posted this mod, since it was taken down I was not able to open my single player world, and I have been playing that survival map for a year now; so thank you.
Virakotxa  [author] 1 Sep, 2014 @ 6:14pm 
Sorry for the delay. Thrusters fixed, skin made color-changeable. Turned back the file to public.
ScruffyChild 21 Aug, 2014 @ 5:52pm 
Do you think you could make a suit that glows in the dark, like blue body armor? It would look really cool if you died in a astroid cave for example, and you see your armor's glow in the cave. kind like a blue led visor effect ect...
Choccy Bug 20 Aug, 2014 @ 10:04am 
Good old Giger...

R.I.P HR. Giger
Vela 19 Aug, 2014 @ 4:25pm 
Oh God, HR. Giger... Not again... The nightmares!
Rotiart 19 Aug, 2014 @ 12:13am 
You should make a Type C that makes the skull much more visable, and make the suit completely white as a reference to Doctor Who.
Tora 16 Aug, 2014 @ 3:33pm 
Haha, I just read the 'Hey, who turned out the lights?' lmao! Gotta love the Doctor. :-}
Tora 16 Aug, 2014 @ 3:31pm 
@Aakkonen: For real, he's probably one of my favorite biomechanical/alien style artists of all time. Not the sort of art I specialize in, but talent recognizes talent! I love his work.

@Virakotxa: This is actually a pretty epic skin, I really dig it, thanks for taking the time to learn to mod textures! Oh, here's an idea for your next... Do a texture like this for blocks, and get them to match like the default ones when they are placed together, if you can. Just a thought. Great work on this, I like how it came out!
Aros 16 Aug, 2014 @ 7:28am 
subbed, I have been such a Giger fan for a long time now, so sad hes dead... RIP
Sausage 15 Aug, 2014 @ 2:04pm 
oh defo could be fun, tbh, I thought you might've textured blocks as Giger's art, such a nerd boner.
Ashlyn^-^ 15 Aug, 2014 @ 10:43am 
i got the mod added it to my game but the skin didnt show up how do you get the sin to work?
FULL OF SHIT 13 Aug, 2014 @ 9:13pm 
Its a Doctor Who refference
Virakotxa  [author] 13 Aug, 2014 @ 4:51pm 
I... I'm fine... I... I'm fine... I... (When three of you said it, I got it was "a" refference) had to look it up. I had watched it, though. Nerd-Test failed.

Type A: Hey, who turned out the light? (someone had to make that reference)
FULL OF SHIT 13 Aug, 2014 @ 11:51am 
lol

OMG!
b4hand 13 Aug, 2014 @ 3:41am 
Nice!
Gallagin 12 Aug, 2014 @ 3:18pm 
@XEN0KID lol thats the first thing i thought when i saw the skull! lol xD
XEN0KID 12 Aug, 2014 @ 1:52pm 
"who turned out the lights?!"
Greyson XMG 11 Aug, 2014 @ 10:01pm 
How about a alien xeomorph instead ofa space marine? :P
Mr. Snuggles 11 Aug, 2014 @ 7:51pm 
This looks sweet! Sometimes I'll turn off the games music and play the soundtrack from Alien(1977). Makes everything kind of eerie and scary.
Virakotxa  [author] 11 Aug, 2014 @ 7:18pm 
Like...? Biomechanical building blocks? hmm... Could be fun indeed. Wouldn't know where to begin, though...
Greyson XMG 11 Aug, 2014 @ 6:47pm 
Nice theme to persue.. I hope you push further in this direction... Could be fun!
