Hello all,
Newbie to skinning here. Attempting my second one (my first one is here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3309965/). After the recent Snowbird crash (RIP Capt. Jennifer Casey) in my Province I started working on a Snowbird skin for the F-18. Its my guess that the Tutors will be replaced with the RCAF's old Hornets as they move to whatever they pick next. Whether they can stay a 9-ship formation of they move to the Hornets is another question. Either way I wanted to attempt a Snowbird inspired skin for this bird.
Its far from done.
This seems to be a pain staking process. Specifically, what is the easiest way to cross-reference the 3D surfaces to the 2D DDS surface? I've been trial and error'ing it. Very tedious. Place different colors/symbols all over, render to DDS, refresh in the model viewer. Look for symbol/color I'm interested in. This is super difficult for the very small surfaces.
Anyway, hope you like it so far! DCS Rocks!
