[Custom Skin] The Yellow 14 /WiP/
« on: 05-06-2009, 16:06:03 »
Hey,
i try to make my first Costum Skin. The Yellow 14 ( Hans- Joachim Marseilles Bf109).

My first Mistake was that Marseille flown a Bf109 F4 and i think the FH2 Bf109 is a E Model.

But here is the first look in Game after 7 hours off work <- yeah 7 hours its my realy first skin and i need lots of time to read Tutorials etc.^^

It would be cool if u have Tipps for me or somethink like that x´D



Greetz ;p

€dit: Its a RESKIN! Many Parts are not reskined! Look at the Skin under the Plane: Skin by Toddel!
I nether said that i do "all" alone at this skin!!!!

Nice one. I think the resolution is lower than the standard Fh2 skins or is that your graphic settings?

Its 800x600 i dont know it was in the windowed mode.

Theres ah white stripe on the plane in the middle thats are things i have to fixe in Photoshop^^
I work with IL2 Tutorials and the Light-Engine in IL2 is not so good like in BF2/FH2 so this is the first look ingame on my skin.

Yeah it could be that resolution is a little bit lower but i have to do much on this skin, i hope it looks after 10-12 hours work better than yet =)

Add some dirt, and watch the details, seems like your reskin is covering most of the eye-candy details of the original texture. You have to find a fine balance between those two. Also, experiment with colours, this one looks too artifical.

good. go on.

small hint to have the black lines and shadows rivets back is:

to copy the "blue" channel of your Normalmap and put it over your layers. you can set it to multiply in the Blending options and you have some nice little details added.

I copy the blue channel but it wont work, in multiply Blendin i have minimal details =(
Do i make something wrong? I activate Blue Channel, go back to Layer strg+c copy ist and put it over all Layers strg+v.
Set Layer on Multiply and i have very minimal to nothing lines on the plane.

Thats are my own Riverts and Lines

Yeah lucky story... you know Photoshop, so i work since 5 Years with it, Signaturs Vectors etc.
Soo it was late, to save in .dds format i need to make all layers in one Background layer and.... after that i hit the save button. So the .psd file have only the background layer.

But i see this to late, on the next day...
Mhm i know that i can do this Skin better again, i learn many things in the last week.
And i will go on to do more^^
