MIG 29 Skin

The nose needs to be painted blue or black. The brown doesn't fit and is in none of the screenshots.

And what is the point of taking some screenshots down? Nothing will surprise us. We pretty much know what to expect from 0.5 now anyway.

Oh I figured out what you meant by the metalic look.. you're talking about the Specular Material where the reflections beat off of the MIG.

You can skin the speculars by adjusting the ALPHA channels in the skin's DDS... in photoshop where the layers tab is click on channels.. click on ALPHA and it will turn your image black and white.. whatever in that image is WHITE will be VERY REFLECTIVE.. whatever is black will be FLAT.

So, make grey or white or black as needed.. My MIG is moderately light grey with certain things white.. mostly darker grey around areas that would not be metallic.. so there you have it.. tutorial weeeeeeeeeeeee

what should I save the textures as? currently I am saving to default DXT1, is that correct?

Maistros · Post by **Maistros** » 2007-02-05 21:16

Yes that is correct.

That looks really good.

one sec. are you sure? because it says no alpha, and in game, the textures look much more blurry then others

DXT 1, default settings.. should be right.

If you want I can take a screenshot of my save screen
