Looks very nice

Have to say I find some of the layers confusing. There are duplicate layers of the rivets and some other layers that are labled but appear empty. Also I don't understand the difference between the alternative alphas.

 

Panel lines on the underside look rescaled to me, would have been nicer if it was 4k as well. Other than that it's a solid piece of work.

Hello, Thank you guys for the compliments. My great pleasure that lots people here like my work.

 

@ 5tuka, Some layers duplicated is because that I want to emphasis the effect. you can simply merege them if you do not want to arrange it in this way. For the empty layer, I do not notice this, can you tell me the layer name or you can just delete them.  I am sorry for the multi-alpha channels, just keep the 1st one and delete the rest of them. I already updated the download file besides. Yes, some panel lines in alpha are not fine tuned to match the visible layer, I keep it like this because actually there has a embedded vanilla rivets and panel lines alpha channel is rendered in game which the skinner can do nothing about.  that means the thinner panel lines in customer alpha channel will be overridden by this embedded in-game default alpha channel.

 

@6./ZG26_Gielow,  I am sorry that I cannot make everyone happy. I do not use standard 777 green colors. Please replace the colors with ones you prefer.

If you are referring to the normalmap, yes we can change to match custom rivets and panel lines. This is just an example of my work using a personal Ju88 4k template:

 

Neverthanless thx for the explaination and hope you keep it up.

[Frenchy56]

Ummm... individual download for the normalmap, please?

 

Coming in a bit late, really.

Any possibility to share your Ju-88 4k normalmap? Original 4k template is great, but Ju-88 is really missing adequate normal map to get the best out of these skins? Sadly I don't have the idea how to create a normal map using Gimp.

NOW OBSOLETE, much improved (much more historical colors, details & alpha channel) JK-268 in skinpack thread:
 

 

 

 

 

 

(UPDATED: replaced normal map with a better one)

 

Ok, this is my attempt for Ju-88 4k normal map. I'm sure some pro's may have created better ones, but no one has posted those. It is my first normal map, but at least it is a lot better than default 2k IMO.

 

JG4_Kruger has made much better normalmap and I replaced mine with it (if someone comes here to look for Ju-88 one)

While I'm at it, here is also JK-268, WNr 088 8796. One of the rare ones that got traditional Finnish Camo painting. She survived the war and 4.4.1945 this plane was the last Ju-88 that flew in FAF. The peace agreement denied all the bombers from Finnish Air Force (as they had been way too effective during wartime) so they had to be scrapped.

So thanks goes to JG4_Kruger for the template and normal map now...
