Ryan Barnes Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) UPDATE 6-23-14 Get the HD weathered skin HERE I'm currently working on my own weathered A-10c skin. It features an all gray base with streaks from each fastener as you see on many "dirty" aircraft in real life. I think it really adds to the realism effect. Very time consuming process to airbrush each and every rivet and screw! Here you can see the difference between the stock wing and my weathered wing and fuselage.

OttoPus Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Amazing. What about removing some plastic cover from engines? (in the first shot that material looks like everything but metal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Barnes Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Looks very nice i like my planes as heavy weathered as possible. How long till you finish her? I'm plugging away at it as I have time, but there must be 10,000 rivets in this thing. Everywhere I look there seems to be an opportunity to add some texture, so it's getting quite involved. Like the more detailed you try to make it, the more the less detailed parts stand out so I have a lot of work left. When it's done I'll make it available for download. Hopefully soon.

OttoPus Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I haven't worked on the engines yet, I'll see what I can do with those. I was just joking, I think that material reaction to light does not depend from skins. I can be very wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Barnes Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 You're right, it is a global setting. It's got to be in a lua file somewhere we can edit. The best weathered A-10C skins for download HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Barnes Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 I got some more work on the wing done. I weathered the flaps and ailerons, as well as the rest of the rivets. The left wing is nearly finished now. Some tweaking left to do. ORIGINAL WEATHERED I also completed some work to the gun, nose, and fuselage concerning accumulation of grit from the GAU.

eFirehawk Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Excellent work so far! In all the skins I've made I've just increased the opacity and adjusted the curves of the dirt and weathering layers of the template, but I always had the feeling it wasn't nearly enough :) I really like what you've done in the area behind the canon, looks fantastic! :thumbup: Pentium II 233Mhz | 16MB RAM | 14.4kb Modem | 1.44MB Floppy Disk Drive | Windows 3.1 with TM Warthog & TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Barnes Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Here you can see what a difference some subtle shading makes. Compare the intake of the left engine with the original on the right. And both done... The interior on the exhaust I thought was too illuminated... A little darker... Fixed the inside of the landing gear bays as well... BEFORE AFTER It's lots of small changes like this that trick your brain into imagining more realism.

Ryan Barnes Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 After all of the rivets are done, I will go back and selectively lighten some of them. I prefer them with a more uniform appearance though. To me, when the streaks are too random it looks more like there is a leak at that rivet. But with more uniform coverage, the appearance is as if the dirty air the wing is flying through caused the streaking instead. Such as would happen when flying your hog through the polluted air of Desert Storm with all the oil well fires. :) The best weathered A-10C skins for download HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Barnes Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Well the short answer is "Not until I'm happy with them" and I'm kinda picky about how it looks. I can't say exactly when because I'm just doing it in my spare time but I hope to have something in the next couple weeks.
