Jackdaws Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Hey guys, Can anyone tell me how to reduce the shine on the mig21bis skin? I find if I add paint to it the effect is nice, but sometimes i think it would be good to just have a near matte finish if possible. I find the metal so shiny and drowns out the paint on some skins. Maybe I've been editing the bare metal skin and this is my problem? should i be editing with a different skin? Thanks! My Files..... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

NRG-Vampire Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 reduce brightness of blue channel in the specular map. actually that's not the shine. blue channel is the reflection what you can see from a low angle view primarily, for example on wings for less (narrower) shine reduce brightness of the green channel in the specular map
SkateZilla Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 That would be the flare intensity (white shine) Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs
Jackdaws Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 That would be the flare intensity (white shine) either way.. i still dont know what im doing! haha! i have to do some more study. Im sure there there wil be a lot of trial and error. I find lots of things on the net regarding specular files and what they mean etc.. im just struggling to find a walk through using DCS files and photoshop only. So for the meantime, i just try to find a plane already edited with hopefully the correct shine for my project. and just start editing that. But thank you both for pointing me in the right direction.
