Text

[Falcon161]

Alright I am working on a couple of skins that have text I put on them. But they are blurry when I go ingame! Is there any tips or suggestions on how to make the text readable?

Decals.

 

sometimes 'text' stretches or wraps depending on where on plane it's placed.

decals stay together (is that right, or should it be legable?)

I want the text on my skins to be legable.

[Falcon161]

Any help? I need the letters to be readable. Plus anybody good at making emblems from scratch I need help making some I have the designs in my head I just am a beginner at The GIMP 2.0. If whoever decides to help me with them I will give credit when I release them.

Decals or painted directly on the skin?

 

I have also noticed that low rez skins tend to distort when loaded in versus a high res skin.

[Falcon161]

Painted on the skin. And how would you make a skin high rez.

[Guest Sony Tuckson]

basically by using larger maps

 

base skins for flyable planes are originally set at 512*512 pixels

 

most if not all of today's addon skins are 1024*1024, some even 2048*2048

 

but only scaling up a 512 to a 1024 won't create a high rez skin, you have to redraw all details with the new scale, as upscaling will have reduced quality...

[Falcon161]

Now how would I make decals? and then import them into the game?

[Falcon161]

If there is anyone who is good at making decals from scratch I desperately need help.

[Guest Sony Tuckson]

well, what do you need?

[+suhsjake]

I can some from scratch.

[Falcon161]

okay I'll take you up on that offer suhsjake. But be warned that they will be fictional and may be difficult.

[Falcon161]

well, what do you need?

Well mostly they are Emblems, and Fictional Roundals.

[Guest Saganuay82]

One question, what detail setting are you running your game on?

[Falcon161]

High. I fixed the blurry text problem. But Im just looking for people to make Emblems and Roundals.

[Guest Sony Tuckson]

give us more details

 

as now, it's quite hard to help since we don't know much about your exact needs

[Falcon161]

I need Fictional squadron emblems, which some need to be done by scratch, Ex: I need an Emblem that consists of A shield with a sword across it, with the Squadron Number and It's branch inside the shield on either side of it.

[Guest Sony Tuckson]

well, I suggest you produce the emblems you need, and some of us around here could make these decals for you.
