ATTENTION SKINNERS - Fw190-a8 4096x4096 (4k)Template is now redundant

[ICDP]

EDIT 29 June 2019:  This template pack is redundant.  The Fw190A-8 default skins have now been updated to 4K in game.  Please do not use any previous A8 templates to create A8 4K skins as there were many changes and updates to the default skins.  Only Camo and markings layers will be useable from your older templates.

 

Please use the official template thread to download the latest A8 template that is compatible with the new A8.

 

Thanks

Looks amazing . . .

 

Tried to download, but the template and the NM failed. The site is telling me that the folder appears to be empty (?)

But the skin-pack worked fine . . .  :-)

 

I will check again

 

Thank you for your work

Thanks for the info, I've now corrected my template, FYI the holes are out by 8 pixels upwards and 4 pixels inwards. But I do not know how to fix the normal map.

extra info

Thanks Asgar, I will upload a fixed version later.

OP updated with fixes as outlined by Asgar.

G'day

 

Was attempting to add my own spirals and have found that centre of the spinning hub tip as far us the mesh layer is concerned is quite a ways off centre (however it did make for a quite funky psychedelic look).

 

The blue guides in the image below are aligned to where the mesh layer suggests that the centre should be, while I have found that the black dot is more or less the actual centre.

 

 

Cheers

Hi all, I have updated the main templates and the normal map with some fixes.

 

• Panel line join issue at wing root
• Texture mapping issues at join on MG Nose Cowling.
• New improved Shadow layers
• Fixed fuselage cross markings
• Pitot tube colours
• Cowl MG texture issue
• And other minor fixes

[Danziger]

@ICDPDo you know if this is a bug in the 3d model or bump map?

 

[Frenchy56]

I've noticed something wonky with the outer MG151's portholes.

First is vanilla, second is the template.

 

 

It seems like the hole is too big and the wrong shape, looks like a keyhole.

Is it intended?

The cowl thing is 3D model.  The hole on the cannon port I will check out.

 

OK, I had uploaded a wrong file in the template.zip.  Please re-download for the correct versions.

I hope you told Det and Julian because they pretty much made all the A-8 skins we have right now.

[ICDP]

The main template file was included in the download and it the only error was an earlier duplicate version and was only for a short period.  None of the fixes I made were essential, just worth the extra effort.

 

Can you upload the 2d version with the error you showed?  None of the templates I have a hole in that area because it is done in the 3D model.

They're on all of the current Detcord and Julian skins.

[ICDP]

I have been in contact from them both.  The very first version of the template was based on the one from the A-5.

 

Thanks for the heads up on this.

Right. It does seem that the MG151's gunport has a different shape than the MG FF/M's, which seems to cause this texture deformation.

I read about the updated FW190 A8 4K Template, but in the official skins template download area I can only find the old 2K . . . ?

 

What am I missing ? Is there another download site . . .

 

Thanks      the little Guardian

[Obelix]

Thanks!

[-=[]=-little-Guardian]

Checked in again a few minutes ago . . .  and there it is!  Much appreciated

 

Thank you
