Paint job, For texture artists

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 Some asked if they could help with car textures. Sure they can. I'm providing here a link to my photoshop layered file that was used to make the new symphony textures. Original bi-coloured scheme and 512x512 texture size by Joer. Colour changes and rusty effects by viKKing. We are looking to have all textures resized and redraw to 512x512 for a better display. But this is a long and boring working. It should be used as an inspiration source: PSD layers You will need a software compatible with Photoshop PSD file format. I personally use a cheap clone name Pixelmator, on the Mac. It's only gripe is that he doesn't read alpha channels from Photoshop file, but the price is a real bargain, and the interface familiar. Other than that, I use an old Photoshop 5 LE version I had with a scanner on XP. The Gimp is great, but I'm too old to learn it, I'm been using Photoshop for too long. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jun 18, 2008, 1:11 pm

Dr Mathias Wasteland Extravaganza Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Contributors + IP Posts: 1,418 Joined: Oct 9, 2007 Hey Vik I was wondering what happens if you take a 256x256 texture and scale it up to 512x512... will the mapping still work? The Boxvan I skinned for the slaver story I did was a 512x512, wheras the Moray is a 256x256... ......................... vet combat1 ped1 wv cont Posted Jun 18, 2008, 2:11 pm Last edited Jun 18, 2008, 2:13 pm by Dr Mathias

Yes, it will work fine. The only thing to watch out for is that all skins, including the _d one, for each vehicle, must be the same size. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jun 18, 2008, 2:32 pm

The stormer skin needs to be re-texture-mapped and isn't unfortunatley doable just by editing the image. ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Jun 18, 2008, 3:41 pm

Dr Mathias Wasteland Extravaganza Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Contributors + IP Posts: 1,418 Joined: Oct 9, 2007 I looked at the stormer skin weeks ago, as that one is indeed UG-LY. As Alo points out though that one is set up a little odd compared to the other cars and isn't a simple fix.... way beyond my meager skills. ......................... vet combat1 ped1 wv cont Posted Jun 18, 2008, 4:46 pm

*Diablo Vash* Initial Drift Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 548 Joined: Apr 29, 2007 Ok, how about Eaton? i would love a nice black gloss look for that car, love that car so much it needs some nice paint jobs to go with the sweet design ......................... vet raceL1 marshal wv Posted Jun 18, 2008, 5:12 pm

Alocalypse Advanced Race Labs Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,236 Joined: May 6, 2007 The eaton is one of the 256x256 ones so that could be improved quite a bit with some proper shading maybe. ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Jun 18, 2008, 5:16 pm

One of the problem by doing so is that the whole texture becomes more blurry. To resharpen it accordingly, you need to redraw it or many parts. But it works as a temporary solution. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jun 18, 2008, 7:02 pm

Right I know that resolution dergades as you increase size- I've just wondered if the relative positions of things stayed the same. ......................... vet combat1 ped1 wv cont Posted Jun 18, 2008, 7:26 pm

Yep, the data that maps vertices to texture locations is always specified between 0 and 1 in each axis (i.e. as a proportion), for precisely this reason. It lets mipmaps work too (which is a level-of-detail for textures) ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jun 18, 2008, 7:35 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 RE the stormer: unfortunately it is texture mapped so that almost all of the car comes from a tiny spot in the image. It needs re-skinning which is unfortunately beyond my weak 3dstudio skills. I was disappointed about this one when I bought it because, naturally, I wanted a General Lee skin.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jun 18, 2008, 7:36 pm

If you need to remap some model, you can give me a test map and i can remap the model... as usual with my very fast time (no, i've not forgot the other work in progress) ......................... vet wv Posted Jun 18, 2008, 8:09 pm

Dr Mathias Wasteland Extravaganza Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Contributors + IP Posts: 1,418 Joined: Oct 9, 2007 I made new windows, which are in the layered photoshop file. However when I delete the windows.jpg file from the moray data folder it pops back in on startup heh heh. Not sure How to get around that- I see in the symph skin the windows are part of the main skin file. Any advice is appreciated there. Still a few places to fix up, the edge of the hood scoop is hard to match up and I need to work on the rivets a bit. Mostly just a preview to get DV worked up. And the first person to tone the brightness down on the bumpers gets a free bottle of Dr. Mathias's Miracle Elixir! ......................... vet combat1 ped1 wv cont Posted Jun 18, 2008, 9:13 pm
