LeVicieux Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 @ beczl I am not sure but do you use 3dsmax or another software ? its about "material editor", the panel what configure diffuse, normalmap , specular levels etc etc .. the name is "material editor" on 3dsmax, but I dont know for others if its the case.

-Rudel- Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 LeVicieux, welcome to DCS! I hope my answer helps. 3dmax is used to create the wire-frame template. Or, a broken down 2D version of the model. It's also used to assign the material types as you mentioned including values. However, to artistically add colors, bump maps, etc has to be done in a graphic program such as photoshop. I'm pretty certain he uses it to create his liveries. The program is also used to edited RGB values to create specular map textures. nVidia also has a plug-in for photoshop to make Normal (bump) Maps. https://magnitude-3.com/ https://www.facebook.com/magnitude3llc https://www.youtube.com/@magnitude_3 i9 13900K, 128GB RAM, RTX 4090, Win10Pro, 2 x 2TB SSD i9 10980XE, 128GB RAM, RTX 3090Ti, Win10 Pro, 2 x 256GB SSD, 4 x 512GB SSD RAID 0, 6 x 4TB HDD RAID 6, 9361-8i RAID Controller i7 4960X, 64GB RAM, GTX Titan X Black, Win10 Pro, 512GB PCIe SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeVicieux Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 @ -Rudel- Post#124 Hi beczl, about "material editor" panel for your skins, do you use your own settings or you use vanilla settings ?It was the initial question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuky Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I think too many skins is not so good, if everyone online choses different skin, it means lot more high/res textures need to be loaded into vRAM and it might affect performance (talking online - offline I can make all skins to be the same) No longer active in DCS...

Ali Fish Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) materials, i dont see much in the way of any dynamic materials on this plane. i think it looks dissapointing for 2012/13 and especially alongside the p51. really want to see something special thats all, in terms of its looks.

It has a dynamic materials same typa as P-51 has. It's only a modelviewer preview that doens't show too much bro. Looks fantastic! Is the Bort-number dynamic? Not with this skin. All other non unique skin has a dynamic bort-numbers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drona Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Requesting two more IAF skins. Please! :worthy: There is only one shot of this one that I could find. This is for the MiG-21 Bison that was undergoing tests in Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroll Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) What might be kinda cool with the new Nevada map coming. There was a USAF squadron call the red hat squadron 4477. I'm not sure what type of mig-21 your making and whether or not its even close to the model that they used. There are pictures all over the net of some of the Russian jets used by the red hat squadron. Anyway it might be cool have one dressed up in those schemes. http://www.aviacionargentina.net/foros/aviacion-militar-mundial.5/167-alas-rojas-sobre-ee-uu.html My bad I see one page back someone already made one.

-Rudel- Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 With the new model, creating more elaborate styled skins will be easier. Such as that Red and White checker one :D Even those IAF ones.

-Rudel- Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hi, i think you may get a better response in the regular section. FC2's MiG-21Bis was before I joined the team.
