My first everd skin attempt


Recommended Posts

ever*

This is my first attempt at making a skin for any sim. Still have plenty of detailing work to do, but I like how it is coming along. The idea was to make it look as if the LaGG was just repaired with new unpainted wings as well as some parts from other totaled aircraft.

Not bad at all for first attempt :)  Looks liek you havent saved  it with alpha though. With a proper alpha channel it would look quite pretty (matt wood + shiny metal).

Hi Inii8. Much in the same boat as you r. I decided last week to make a skin. Luckily Boomerang put a g2 toolkit out. I have id'd the airplane, downloaded gimp, the toolkit plus other and some tutorial videos from warthunder plus other info. I just want to make at least 1 skin but i am like a total total newbie. Keep it up it looks good as for my attempt i think it is going to be a learning curve.

thank you everyone! I look forward to seeing your next project Yakdriver.

 

I have updated my skins alpha channel to make to wood and primer areas more matte and gave the metal a bit more sheen.

Looking good so far. It's good that people are feeling encouraged to have a go at skinning. It seems a really interesting (HAAAAAARRRD) thing to do.

Nah?
anything but hard to produce a DDS file that fits your favorite plane.
Now - making a Plane that looks pretty damn close to the real ones, that's a challenge.

In GIMP, how does one control how matte the finish comes out?

 

I would like to have greens and greys semi-matte and the white matte or flat.

Looks really nice.... Would look much better on fire though. :biggrin:  On a serious note however....I have to say...this game is just a beauty to behold, especially in the atmosphere...up in the clouds, the sun, the lighting...just perfect to me.
