A neues Gwand für die Dora! - Hi Res Textures for the Dora

[Doughguy]

Sorry for the delay, but after some reconciderations ive decided to also include some new damage textures and fix the gearwell textures.

Its details and shouldnt take long, so hold your breath!

[Bucic]

Darn it! I guess I won't be doing any simpit work once you release it

Quick question. What resolution might be the stock P-47D textures? They look closer in terms of quality to your textures than to what we have as stock textures for Dora.

[Doughguy]

Irc each texture sheet was 4k

[Doughguy]

Ok.. well i sat down for the last 3 hrs and tried my swing on damage textures..

Turns out, it uses copied shapes of the model and then blends damage textures over it.

So far so good... but UVW´s are also messed up again... which creates ugly seams.

Sorry folks but im not inclined to spent weeks aligning that. An ive alread looked close at the old damage textures...

@Doughguy

Thanks for giving it a try. Would you be willing to share the current version of the damage textures as a WIP? I seriously doubt it's going to look worse than the stock ones.

Id have to see to fix that alpha channel thats not working. which is odd.

I'd help if I knew anything about texturing beside "alpha is transparency"...

Ok, so my inner monk was restless.

Got the damage stuff working. Its still suboptimal but works.

Understood. I'm preparing an Open Mod Manager package.

[Doughguy]

The details wont shade the same way as the rest of the model.

It becomes pretty evident on metal surfaces.

Oh well ....

Im about pretty much done for now. I cant be botheres with all the pieces bein cut off from UVW isles. way to much to lign up.

[Bucic]

Hi Dough!

I understand. Could you please share it "as is"? I'll gladly try it out.

[Doughguy]

Yes ill release it as is. Just waiting for some video stuff to be done

Showcasing your masterpieces or is it a separate video project?

EDIT: Wait for the updated rubbers for the Dora! Then any ground taxiing scene is going to look stellar compared to the current state of things.

Solved the shading problem thanks to some help. But itll be tackier and not as of a clean install. Just need some adjustments here and there

[Bucic]

@Doughguy Thank you for bearing with us! Looking good! Please do PM me a link to a WIP version if you'd like to make my evening furball session against Thunderbolts a little bit more pleasant

[Doughguy]

Close!

[Doughguy]

Uploading 7./JG26 skins.

 

I´ll pause on the dora in order to work on some other projects.

It wont be long but then ill be back at working on a 4k cockpit. Wait out.

[Doughguy]

7./JG 26 now live!

Links in first post.

followed your instructions. i couldnt make the damage textures get to work. when d9 takes damage, the missing textures mosaic show up.

also what does FW-190D9_Damage folder in DCS World\Bazar\Liveries\FW-190D9 folder do?

edit: after selecting another livery of yours, it worked. previous skin that didnt work was also one your newest uploaded ones.

[Doughguy]

FW-190D9_Damage folder incl contents has to be in the livery folder as the 7/jg26 liveries will draw the damage textures from the.

the single roughmet texture that goes into the fw-190 folder in the core folder structure is needed so that damage textures are enabled to use roughmets.

hi, @Doughguy, your work is astounding, the crisp damage textures are such a win for Dora! 

One question: are these damage texture IC compatible?

Sadly no, but eg, if you use the 4YA skinpack, theyve used a small workaround to make that happen.
