Improved rotor textures

[Hueyman]

Hi everyone,

 

I'd like to find some talented 2D tweakers to ask them if they could improve Mi-8 rotors blurred textures.

 

Originally, before the Mi-8 was a full fledged module ( still AI ), it has great main rotor textures :

Now, for some reasons, they decided to " upgrade " them, and it has this weird black part, which is a bit awkward IMHO :

I too don't see the difference between those two pictures, maybe you could clarify what you think is good or bad about each picture?

 

As an aside, I made some changes to the rotor textures, both fixed and moving, on my USCG skin for the Mi-8.

 

Fundamentally, the trick is that it's extremely hard to get, say, the yellow on the blade tips to come through the way I wanted, without making them too vibrant. The video below is basically where I decided to stop tweaking and just push what I had, and while I like it, I don't think it achieves the right real-life look to it.

 

How our eyes perceive motion and fill in details on blurry subjects is fascinating, and requires someone better at photoshop than me to capture.
