MIG 29 Skin

Post by **GeZe** » 2007-02-05 06:32

Well, I made a new skin for the MIG 29 (giving the MEC some love). Currently, the MIG 29 has a desert camo on it which is not very realistic. Just do an image search, and you will see the the majority are using a grey colour scheme.

The brown sticks out like a sore thumb in the sky, and the concrete runway. An unfair disadvantage. Well, no more!

Note: my graphic settings are low, with textures on medium.

(Yes, that spike is supposed to be there. I've never noticed it before, but that's how it is.)

WOW! Much better man!

I always hated that tacky paint scheme on the MiG, as it just didn't feel authentic.

Good work!

Very Nice, Ya known Devs i think EA dont give a damn about peaple modifying thier stuff because... if they did they would have Cracked down on the NAW Mod team for thier Many Modifyed Veichales maybe its time you go true on all the BF2 stuff? or atleast reskin a few things to More Real Standerds, oh and so you know ive figured that thats a Mig-29S so its a Kinda Multirole that does best at Ground Attack so you might wanna check up on Mig-29S skins

Good job!
But do the Migs who do their duty in the middle East have the same camo like the european ones?
I doubt that

??:

looking good geze.

im currently experimenting on the harrier(no dont get exited, the thing itself is a long way from release, v buggy)

Giving it more of an actual battered camo than the standard bf2 grey that seems to go on everything

Iraq MIG 29:

Iran MIG 29:

As you see, they are grey, having them desert camo makes no sense, considering they are trying to hide in the sky and concrete of the runway.

I am going to add more of a blue tint, and post a screeny soon.

thats random???

the harrier is bugged at the mo, needs a re-import + some more skinning work.

I gave it a more blueish tint:

hmmm, maybe not blueish enough. thoughts?

Not to upstage or attempt to outdue or take the spot away from you GeZe, hehe.. but I gave my go at skinning the MIG... Here's some screenies:

EDIT by Rhino: use other screens, they are from 504f and that is leaking....

EDIT by Maistros: I don't understand what it's leaking.. it's just a MIG shot.. the only thing sensitive in the shot would be the minimap of Gulf which was already posted elsewhere, correct? So what are you trying to protect?

Post by **GeZe** » 2007-02-05 20:29

wow, thats much better the mine

how did you get that metallic tinge?

and what do you use to make it dirty?

and what program do you use?

and how do you get it to look detailed. no matter what detail I put in the orignal file, it always blurs out in game. or is that just the graphics settings?

Maistros · Post by **Maistros** » 2007-02-05 20:32

by tinge do you mean hue?

dirty i used photoshop.. various ways of doing it.. best way is duplicate desaturated layer set to pinlight with adjusted levels

program is photoshop.. been using it for almost 11 years now.

I am shocked Rhino took the screens down.

okay, thanks, hopefully my second attempt at skinning will look better
