Vietnam war - Skoshi Tiger default skin

[Reflected]

I just finished my first Tiger skin: South east Asia Camo default skin for Vietnam war era missions. This was a huge piece of work, which I would never have started if Santus hadn't kindly offered me his Camo template. It comes with painted external fuel tanks.

Looks tremendous thanks

Thanks all for the kind words. The biggest PITA was the fuel tanks. I never in my life created a skin without a layered template. And now I had to find a way to paint the tanks starting from a single .dds. Luckily I found a way :)

Desaturate

Find Edges

Background eraser to erase the white and keep the lines, bolts etc

is a rough path to follow in such cases.

 

Whatever you did though worked out fine! :thumbup:

I wish I had known this before. I did it in a more cumbersome way:

 

- Hue, lightness , saturation to match the underside color.

- New layer, painted black over the OD parts, and when it matched

- Duplicate base layer, select OD area, invert, delete

- Contrast, brightness, hue, saturation to match the OD color

- Duplicate OD layer, gaussian blur, move it behind the OD layer

 

:huh:

Where do I put this?
