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.

I got started on this one a few weeks ago actually... I'll have to work on it again. I'm against any car with only one skin!

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...

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.

The stormer skin needs to be re-texture-mapped and isn't unfortunatley doable just by editing the image. :(

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.

The eaton is one of the 256x256 ones so that could be improved quite a bit with some proper shading maybe.

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.

Right I know that resolution dergades as you increase size- I've just wondered if the relative positions of things stayed the same.

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)

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..

I have some skills with 3dsmax. 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 :p (no, i've not forgot the other work in progress)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v366/Bosal/Morayskintest.jpg

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!

I often wonder why I haven't done it myself, those things stick out like sore thumbs... I can't imagine chrome would be that popular!
