4K 109 G4 Template and Normal Map -lost in action?

[BOO]

Trying to find this is becoming an exercise in frustration - can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

I cant find it in Boomerang's original G2/G4 sticky (only G2s) nor anywhere else, Detcord references it but doesn't include it in his skin his skin packs and its been asked for in a least 2 other threads which have gotten no reply.

 

Anyone got it or the G4 template for that matter? 

 

Thanks

Trying hard to even d/l the "official" G-4 template - nogo for days. Link seems broken.

Good luck on your hunt for the 4k ones!

Based on the Bf-109 G6 I'm in building up an updated Version of both the Bf-109-G2 andBf-109- G4 templates in 4k.

It take me around one week to finalize both in the way of the Bf-109 G6 and then I will post a download link. They are based on the public download with Additions from Boomerang and myself.

 

For all three I'm will present a complete new one taking all information's from Reprints of original drawings which I have for all Bf-109 models in DIN A1. But this takes much more time to do it right, so I share the actually updated  ones

There never was a 4K G4 template, mate. I took Boomerang's G2 template and edited it for the G4 for my own purposes, which you'll see in my thread for my G4 textures.

 

Obviously I never released it publicly as I need his permission for that.

ah got it. So we use the 4K skin on the 2K Normal map. Not the ideal base for your canvas but I expect the result still looks great.  

 

I have to wonder if the sticky title of the Boomerangs original thread "G2/G4 template" should be altered then. Kinda gives the impression a 4K template and NM exists.

The biggest issue was fixing the tail wheel well which I had to hand jam from scratch. Other parts had to be altered and added as well. 

 

Boomerang never fixed the G4 template to my knowledge.

not sure what you mean by fixing - I thought it just needed overpainting. I remember showing where the paint was missing and where it should go on the test skin you sent me along with where the wing rivets needed removing, the access panel and the repositioned radio mast aperture.  

 

Did it need more than that?

You can see the difference in the Bf-109 G6 tail section of my template.

The G4 had a similar mount of the tail wheel, you could take the lines, bolts, and the 1CGS parts also from there, or you wait till the weekend then I share the G4-Template which I'm right now doing

I can see what you and Detcord mean in the detail in the riveted panel. Id asked Det because I was thinking of doing the G4 - but - now I know that you're onto it I can rest easy!!

 

Are there any major line changes you are making to Boomerangs original template as this may affect the skin/normal map thing?

 

Thanks for all your work!

You pointed out the most obvious issues, which I ended up fixing. I eventually ran into others as well to include shading, extra rivets, shadowing, ect. 

 

Though no need for me to ask Boomerang for permission to release the template as Rafi is already working on one for the G4.

[RaFiGer]

@BOO

 

as detcord12b statet yes there are issues!

 

As you could see in the Template files there are different panellines, hatches and riveting which diverts from Boomerangs Template, meaning the Normal Map will not fit any more

So, if you have the time I finalise the G4 Template during the Weekend and that will come with a correct Normal Map.

Happy to wait - what you chaps do is way in advance of what I could acheive

Well, I found this post from III/JG2Gustav05 where he alludes to modifying Boomerang's 4K 109G2 template to make his 4K 109G4 skins. And this post where he includes a link to a 109G4 4K normal map.

Yeah I saw that - great skins - pretty restrictive releasing a normal map for 3 or 4 skins but with a GME program its easy enough to add them when you want and take them out when you don't I guess.

As an aside, did you know that if you use Steam to "Verify the integrity of local files", it returns all the 4k bumpmaps to their original 2k state? That makes common sense I suppose, but if it is general knowledge, it wasn't to me.

These 4k bumpmaps make a huge difference to the appearence of a kite and they're well worth backing up before using Steam's verification option.
