Many thanks Chizh!

One thing I noticed, while the panel lines have been updated on the template, the normal mapping hasn't been yet, so while the panel lines will reflect the new dimensions, the normal mapping for them won't, so they won't match up at the moment.

If you use the nVidia DDS plugin, you will also find the Normal Map Maker under the filters

[Blaze]

You could make your own, or wait for the updated normal map files.

Does that mean that custom maps will be made? I am bored of this one already. Need a UK-Germany map with bomber escort and axis planes.....ftw

Not terrain map. Normal Mapping. :doh:

[TimmyD]

Uh oh....my bad :doh: Indeed.....!!!

Sorry Blaze, I think my message read in a negative way; after reading it again.

 

I was just informing those "not in the know". I didn't even know I had it when I installed the DDS plugin. :doh:

 

If my suggestions on the actual 3D model change too, I'm sure the template will too.

Hi guys, I'll assume you are the graphic artists? If so, could you give some input on the specular mapping in the link below? We're trying to find out what the R, G, and B values actually do in DCS World.

Cheers.

[DGambo]

R- the intensity of the flare (the dark - no glare, bright - bright glare)

G- width of the specular spot

B-degree of reflection (dark - the surface does not reflect-mat, light - the maximum reflection - a mirror).

but for simplicity, the channel G is inverted R

[-Rudel-]

Great, thank you! My conclusions in my other thread almost match up. At least I was right about the G channel.

 

Cheers.

[DGambo]

no problem. Happy to help. if anything, than I can ask for help. The only problem - I do not speak English very well))))

[-Rudel-]

It's ok, we speak the same language in our art :D

[O_Smiladon]

Do we have to re do our skins ? With this new template ???

 

Sorry for my novice Q..

 

Thanks

[Blaze]

Yes. Just transfer your layers into the new PSD's and re-save.

[-Rudel-]

I compared the wire frames in the DIF_FUZ_FRONT, and the only differences I saw is the spinner, a new rectangular box in the near the belly's intake shroud, new geometry on the shroud's top, and the fuselage's wing roots.

 

Unless they model access panels to the .50cals, you dont have to use this template.

 

But be aware, you will have to use the old SPEC and NMz files when the final version is release.

[O_Smiladon]

Yes. Just transfer your layers into the new PSD's and re-save.

 

 

Does this have to be done before a patch is out or something.

 

Or will my skins stop working all of a suddon?

 

whats the time frame for this to happen.

 

Thanks

Your old skins will work with the final release if you include the beta SPEC and NMp files with your skin.
