Timm Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Hi Guys, Need some info please, and I'm sorry if this has been brought up before. I am very interested in having a go at doing some textures for the BS but looking at all the templates I'm a bit lost in how you go about in getting to what you painters get to. Question : Is there a tutorial out there in helping to do a texture ? Timm “Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes to us at midnight very clean.

T.Bone Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 All the Psd's that have the words Paint, in there name you can change, Open Ka50-paint1, psd, on the layer pallet scroll down till you find COLOR SCHEME, Double click it, there should be 4 layers in there, these are what you paint, click the eye icon next to each one, to see which part of the helli, you are painting......Thats if you are uaeing photoshop Cs3, like i am:thumbup: Hopefully someone will come out with a proper tut, Regards Tbone
Timm Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Hi Bud, Thanks for getting back on this, OK in the paint kit there are a whole lot of templates, just need to know what part they do play etc and when painted how to you get from the basic paint templates to the finishes item.

LIONPRIDE Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 . I think a tutorial in vanilla-Photshop is a bit more main-stream. I too have been waiting ... but till then ... you can make requests on the MOD board and you get a decent responce ... fast. . - - - - - - - - TO FLY IS HEAVEN.

molevitch Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Hi Timm, Do you have photoshop? .psd files are photoshop files. Each of the "paint.psd files is made up of many layers. Each layer has degrees of transparency and blending. One layer called paint_scheme has the camo colour overlays. You could get a pretty decent and immediate paint scheme by simply tinkering with the sub-layers in that layer. I am no skinner, but I use photoshop regularly, so I know a bit. Actually, I have seen your other posts now, and you probably know more than me! But as far as I can tell you need to save the amended psd files as small bitmaps, named as you please, and then compile these to a .cdds file using "cdds studio" program.
