Hello.... !

When you save this paind in .dds , witch configure do you use ? always open a NIVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter and.... i don't know witch format do a have to use ...  i had test 8bpp explicit alpha... also 4 bpp DXT1: no alpha and, the results, was not good !

Could you help me on this ?

 

Thank you

Nvidia dds is too old. I recommend Intel https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/intel-texture-works-plugin.html

 

This option saves when I modify and check the texture every moment

 

 

 

And after finishing all the textures, in the last publish step, save them with these options without color loss.

This is an option I personally use but  i think ED uses BC1 4PP for more compression

 

or you can export as "PNG" for less compression loss
 

 

If there is an alpha, it should be saved as alpha

Nice !
BTW: do you see the BC7 dds files in your windows as Thumbnails ?
I see only Icons   - "normal" dds is visible as thumbnail but not the compressed: no preview

Would you mind recommending a  program to  quick-see "funky/turbid" BC7 files without opening in Photoshop ? ...a BC7-DDS plugin for XnView would be the best 

ps. Latest 2.51.2 XnView able to show BC7-DDS thumbnails but only as the noisy/funky/turbid format
TY

Hi lee1hy,

Another great livery, I saw you were going to tweak some bits after feedback, are you still doing that or is that on hold too?

Cheers

Nice!  Thanks....Off to download...

Are you planning on doing the full overhaul on the F-15 like you did on the F-16/F-18 in particular, to give them that extra detail and character?

Cheers

Basically, the RAZABAM F-15E's template is very good. I don't think it's necessary to overhaul. but  I will keep going  add a details.

btw

I am currently working on IAF BAZ. 

However, this seems take a long time.  The stencil and Hebrew are tough

Ahh OK it looked like you might have tweaked the engine nozzles metal shades and bits as well but I'm no skinner so probably wrong  Anyway looking forward to more of your skins

Cheers
