Stratos Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 Trying, but I have tons of pics on Photobucket, damn it. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
uscstaylor Posted July 2, 2017 Author Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Hey Guys I was going over my skins and for some reason I ran into a problem. Take a look at the pics... some type of layer that's not in the template. I cant get it fixed. Unless someone can help me with this, I'm afraid I wont be able to release the skin pack....There's some type of light line that just past the Black walk line it appears whit in the skin, I think its part of the alpha layer but for the life of me I cant fix it.. Edited July 2, 2017 by uscstaylor
NRG-Vampire Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) ok. first: you dont need alpha channels in texture files for this model maybe you need the alpha psd layer making skins but alpha channel does not needed to save next. if you mention the dark surface above/front of nozzles that's problem of the normals of 3d polygons of the model what you cant fix by textures what is that black walk line? the line above the air intake ducts? maybe it will be solved by saving texture without alpha channel as well. jm2c Edited July 2, 2017 by NRG-Vampire
Sierra99 Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Hey Taylor, I'm not sure if this was asked for or not but a nice set of Thunderbird skins would be really nice. (Don't forget the Black Tail on #4.) Blue Angels would be nice too.

uscstaylor Posted July 2, 2017 Author Posted July 2, 2017 Well I did some testing and if I don't add a dirt layer then you don't see that strange line next to the black line on top of the intakes. I'm going to play some more with this to see if I can get a happy medium.

Sport Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) So I'm doing some work on some USAF skins to add to your pack, here's my WIP of the Euro I scheme worn by the 23rd and 480th TFW out of Spangdahlem AFB. Need a hand with a few things though: 1 - Where is the section on the file for the nosecone? I need it to be black with a grey tip 2 - I need to clean up a few of the edges so everything flows nicely 3 - For some reason I have missing textures for the pilots, could you give me a hand with that? I'm also going to do a Euro Gray scheme and re-do the Southeast Asia scheme, with 2 or 3 different tail codes. Any advice and help is welcome! PS - I can send you my "dirt" layer if you're interested. I spent a lot of time working on streaking dirt and fluids around the aircraft to give it a bit more of a "worn in" look Edited July 6, 2017 by Sport Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch!

uscstaylor Posted July 7, 2017 Author Posted July 7, 2017 Great sure Id be happy to have another artist contribute. I can use your dirt layer if you would like to send it. Ill send ya a PM.
