Creating a Skin step by step with Gimp
russouk2004 replied to Peugeot205's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Knowledge Base
ace,your bumpmaps are reversed,highlights rather than "depth" using nvidia plug in if you use ps...bumpmapping is easy,just setting the depth and amounts is trial and error... this is mig25k bumpmap. and default settings in nvidia plugin... there are stand alone progs to make maps from jpegs... I only have the base layer panel lines set to normal opacity 100% no shading dirt weather layers showing,or areas that wont need that 3d look,like decals ,they obviously dont need bumpmap, basic jpeg after hiding layers I dont want to show on bumpmap ( at bottom....) -

Creating a Skin step by step with Gimp
russouk2004 replied to Peugeot205's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Knowledge Base
Now when I do panel lines,I dont bother with shading\highlights,bumpmaps take care of that...if model has them..(all my models since I found how to bumpmap,now have it).then if not use panel lines colour inverted to make the white lighter areas. another thing I do for metal skins,is use actual metal textures and use areas to paste into panels...like here below.1st pic...of the p47n 2nd pic is with a gradient overlay... 3rd pic is with the metal pic and some dodge tool work creating the glossy look.. pic of mig 29 is plain black panel lines,opaque with the bumpmapping,for those that dont know,it gives the look of sunken panels and raised edges,bolts rivets etc...very good at saving you hours of work creating that realistic rivet look.. -

Malaysians getting flight recorders this evening whats the betting they are missing data,if they work at all after being in the rebels hands? This fiasco has cold war elements. Even at 30,000 feet you can tell a 777 with the mk1 eyeball..in most cases,no way would you mistake it as anything else on radar especially with its civilian "squawk" transponders etc. someone needs to pay for this If this happened in Russia (non russian rebels invading a soviet state\province) putin would send in everything,army,air force etc.and afterwards be the Hero of the union.....I think the ukranians need help in squashing the rebels in and out of the Ukraine.
