F-16 Livery Creation Question

[Mad_Max2]

I'm having trouble with roundels, decals, etc. showing through on my skins even though I've taken them off of my livery. Discovered that it was showing through from the roughmet layer. Really just a novice skinner so I typically don't mess with these and just use what is already in the lua that I copy over to my livery. I feel like this is skinning 101 type stuff here lol but I just never bothered to learn :doh:, so... Any advice about how to edit/ create my own roughmet file? I see there is a ROUGH and METAL section in the F-16 template psd files, do I use those perhaps?

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Go for the user files and download some Viper skins. Most skinners use plain roughmet files without any markings. Just copy and paste these.

 

If you wish to create your own roughmets with customized markings you may have a look to this:

Copy and paste your markings from the colored main file to the F-16 roughmet file template and fill these markings with white or light gray color.

 

Hope its more clear now.

Thanks for the reply! After some trial and error I ended up snagging someone else's "blank" roughmets like you said. Still would like to learn though so thanks for the link as well!
