• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Going...Going....GONE!

yeah..well, I checked out 'CUDA'...fascinating stuff (more useful to you in your line of work I suspect?)...Some really neat things...the volumetric smoke was stunning!!....But all way over my head!!!
 
Thanks Widowmaker. I didnt think of just taking lozenge from other skins. (duh). It was late and I had a long day when I posted that. Maybe I should have a few cups of coffee before I hop on the forum. lol

Know the feeling only too well Rooster!

Happy Skinning :ernae:
 
Hey, Widowmaker
Have you found a way yet, to get to the layers?
Cause, if not, the bitmap way isn't bad - you have only one layer, but many things can be done with Photoshop.
I often compile the desired skin from several others. When I want basics of skin A, but the Lozenge wings of skin B, I cut them out and insert them in the other.
Today I must start a new pilot - died yesterday in a midair collision with a Bristol Scout (that's from the left hand driving! Lol!)

Hi Olham,

Yes, that's pretty much the way I have been doing it...I guess the secret is in the Blending etc..... The only problem is, if you are trying to put a light skin on a darker background, you have a trade off between allowing details such as wing spa's...and not having the underpinned dark colour showing through.

Unless the OFF boys some day release their originals (in a similar way to the Void skins in IL2) we will be a bit restricted...(and one can hardly blame them for not wanting to do that!)

But my results so far have been pleasing enough to my un-trained eye!....and I am enjoying myself enormously...So, that's the main thing eh?


Those Bristol Scouts are best avoided when a collision is imminent! (ouch)
