C-130 Upgrade project

[+Dels 594]

More progress.

Just finished the bump and spec maps. Bump map is currently at 2% opacity, what do you think?

(I'll post some pics of the spec map results when I've got the early unpainted birds ready)

Another update...

 

Have just finished all the skins for the C-130J variants (C-130J, C-130J-30, KC-130J, MC-130J and AC-130J).

Still testing, but the release is getting closer and closer. 

 

Here's some game shots of the AC-130J.

The AC-130J is armed with a 30mm Bushmaster, 105mm Howitzer, Outer pylons for up to 8 Hellfires/SDBs and the Gunslinger Launcher on the ramp holding 10 AGM-176 Griffin A's.

The AGM-176 is a brand new model I've made.

As I said bere my friend, the very first Cargoplane im looking Forward to fly with joy! Damn this Skin Looks good and the 3D Upgrades ... damn man!

 

thanks for those great updates and your time to rework it!

[+Viper63a 651]

WOW! I just uploaded a compendium super pack of C-130s on CA, when people pointed me here to get WOW'ed by Dels latest creations. I can't wait! Also, if you're interested, I skinned some new pilots for that Hercs pack, you are welcomed to them. Seven in all, I randomly place them in different planes for variety...

 

If you need any help testing, decal'in or skin'in, I am more than happy to help.

Viper, we should coordinate. I' my waiting for release so as to do MAC, ANG, and AFRES packs. But my interests are more from 1970-1992 time frame. At two serials per unit, still a lot of tga work when he releases

Edited September 7, 2016 by daddyairplanes

[+Viper63a 651]

Sounds good, let me know how I can help. I can make tgas - insignia, serials...or tweak skins...or whatever...lol

[+daddyairplanes 8,643]

Well first gotta wait on Dels. Good time to get reference material though while waiting

[+Viper63a 651]

Got any pix of the planes you are planning to skin?

[+Dels 594]

Another update...

 

My Fuselage template .psd got corrupted which set me back a couple of days, but the good news is that I regularly back up!

 

Here's the latest:

Awesome Dels, plans for Euro1 or leaving that to me? :)

 

Viper, I go off one base skin, like the above mentioned lizard scheme then add a whole bunch of units but base of of serial numbers. Two serials per unit generally. Take a look at any of my heavyouth skin packs (C17, C-5) to see what I mean

[+Dels 594]

Awesome Dels, plans for Euro1 or leaving that to me? :)

 

The Euro 1 is the next skin on my list. 

[+The Trooper 104]

Do you guys know who made this cockpit? It's a better match for the early  C-130's.

[+Crusader 2,050]

Yes.

Crab_02 made it, possibly for YAP, IIRC!

[+The Trooper 104]

I guess it is off limits then.
