More yellow/bright, the brownish colors make it an excellent target in the desert

How come I never figure out, how to skin without ruining the texture or making it solid color without any detail? Is there a tutorial on this?

you cant , what i do is paint it and then add a layer with a texture that looks like the original (like a wall, or grass) , then i desature it and play with the blending mode and opacity, until it didnt looks so bad :mrgreen:

Yeah, but when I tried to reskinn the T90, I ended up erasing the details on it, like turret hatch outlines or metal plates :/

i paint them by hand in a layer , using the brush or the line tool , messing with the gluke of the brush

Image

and then with the color it looks like this

Image

then , create a new layer called shadows, i put the texture there and paint it with black by hand at 30% of opacity

Nice one.

All i do when re-colouring textures, is go around with the pen tool drawing the camo out line, and copy the areas that will be a certain colour into a new layer. Then i just edit the Hue/saturation for that layer.

Keeps all the detail, but changes the colour.

Umm..."gluke of the brush"???
Nice tips though and I'm sure they will help some budding texture artists. ;)

Looks so much better than the skin it has. The wheels need a touch up on the APCs, Dice's wheel skin makes it look flat.

Exellent work!
