Well I just wanted a pony skin for Stryker
I think getting the color close enough wont be that hard. Making a new UV and texture for Stryker would be quite a task.

Ye, don't worry about the color. I don't know what software you will use to texture this model, but in photoshop one can easily aply an adjustment layer that can change the green a color a bit. (or a lot if needed)

Also, before you start texturing. Can you show us your UV layout?

I only use texturing Substance Painter for texturing. For picking color i dont have a problem.

UV is only fast-packed for use to put simple color. This will be rework and use overlaps

Ye that UV looks okay as a base to start from. You could scale some of the UV chunks down and up a bit depending on the amount of detail they require. Also. The packing seems way to dense on that sheet. When you work with a high resolution sheet it is not a problem, but since this sheet will probably be scaled down to 512*512 it might cause pixel bleeding. Though most of the parts are all just green.

UV packed by 3 pixels between the islands

All right, but what is the sheet's resolution? On 512*512 it should be okay I guess, but if your sheet is set to 1024 or even 2048 then it might cause issues when scaling it back to 512*512.

Ok. Res of this might be 1k. So. How many pixels between the islands I do?

I would texture this on a 1024 sheet and then scale it down to 512. If you have 4 pixels in between on 1024 then you should be more then safe. Though I am not really an expert on texturing, just make sure to have a bit of spacing in between the islands.

We have the psd for Stryker texture, so getting the turret texture to fit should not be an issue. Either adjust turret or body

Some updates from today
IRAY:



Imported to BF engine:

Good job, looks awesome!

Add a bit of dust and the texture looks ready to go.



D.J.

Some update with dust. Added a bit, because I didnt want to spoil the main texture

Really could use a AO bake

Looks good. The smoke launcher in middle seems bit low quality texture tho.

Hm. Where then to connect this? AO is used everywhere as a separate one. Here I use only _c and _b map. On _c map i use alpha channel with metallic map from Substance

Ok. With AO


I will think about launchers

Just overlay AO over diffuse

What do you mean with the alpha channel? The alpha channel should either be empty, so you can save as dxt1, or contain the specular map for shinyness. Best practice right now would be _c with no alpha as dxt1 and high resolution, _b with alpha as dxt5 and lower resolution. That way getting good quality texture with less memory used.
Been some time since I applied AO to a texture, but I think I multiplied it with the _c.

Alpha - i mean metallic map (specular map for shinyness).
Ok. I will remake it. And with smoke system

metalic map doesn't work in our engine. Needs to be old school specular.
