Hey Hammy.
You made a nice template,,, but ya like some one said /\/\ above,
It looks arcade like. The panel lines.. . . cant be just lines. they need to look like they are inset,,, try to go for a photo real look.
I think that MS paint is a POS and not up to par for making realistic Textures or whatever else. Look into finding yourself a copy of Photoshop or Painter.
Make sure that you scale up the Texture.,. . to 1024x1024.
This is the max res for AH2, and then paint at that scale.
but then you have to repaint every thing,,, if you just leave it every thing will become pixely.
All textures that get into AH2 should look like profesionaly made ones, in my opinion. Hey after all im paying money to play this game and i want it to look as good as posible.
I dont like the idea,, that anyone with a crayon and "momy said it looks nice",,, should get into the game.
Go to the skindepartment web site and look for good examples there. I lost my favourits links so have to find the link sometime.
Anyway, Some one did some great skins for the P47s there,, thats what they should look like.
When I get a chance I will post my WIP of a typhoon skin.
maybe it will help. I re-did every element of the skin at hi-res
probabaly close to 30-40 layes so far per texture.
