tbh. i started with retexturing Toddel BF 109 E4, back in the Time only Africa was playable and Normandie in Betatest phase.
I hadn´t max but outcomes where some kind of good for the first try...
It´s posible since most Model came with an Ambient Occlusion that wasn´t padded after the Texture was done, so you directly see the Outerlines.
Also this AO will make Corner Shadowish und edges should be highlighted by FH2 Dev´s anyway. =)
There is just one thing that Sucks without running Max, painting camo since you don´t see how the edges match in color.
