in the screen shots they look fine (a bit too close together) but overall not "obtrusive"


it is funny how much changes from the flat BPM you look at and the finished in game product lol

BTW you use "bright" to make the 256 color image, or paint shop / photoshop ?


i think the white lines of the iron cross need to be wider
I don't know what to put here yet.

I checked the crosses.. There are varrying sources. I went with narrow width crosses. EDIT: I'm thinking of adding low-opacity black inside the crosses... Think of the yellow nosed 109F4 skin, it would be something like that. There are some sources with black (faded) and some without any black at all. I consider it a minor touch, but could easily add it.

Check the new BMP in this post. That's one benefit to posting the BMP as opposed to a screenshot -- people can save as, and check it out for themselves in AH.

I have bright. I know some people swear by it. In some circumstances I use it. What I do is export both, then compare. In THIS case, bright looked like arse, so I left it and used the much better looking PS 5.0 indexed color conversion.

My last 190, however, used bright, which seemed to come out cleaner than what PS 5.0 made.

If the paint doesnt come off dont make it come off.

What you can do is just make it more dirty in that area as the traffic up the wings with "dirty shoes" would dirty it down. So just do some heavier weathering in that region.

The rivets weren't there. What was there was a layer making the paint fade where the rivets would be. For the second BMP I turned that layer off, to show what I've had up until recently.

To tell the truth, I could go without the rivets, myself. Have to check it out in-game more.

Okay thanks for the opinions. I'll have them back on in the final version. Right now I'm waiting for Chimp to get back to me about some mysterious idea he wanted to play around with on my PSP file.

Other things:

I'm gonig to delete all paint chipping and just add black smudge-like marks where the paint would be walked on.

I think the reason the exhaust looks wierd is the way it blends with the other layers, it makes the center of the exhaust look lighter (which just looks odd!) so I'll re-work that layer so that effect doesn't show up.

After that I'm sending it in!

skychimp? Why the anger?

I am curious, I wanted to see what you have to suggest! I meant no criticism or anything. Just saying I'm going to do this, then that, then that. And one of the things I was going to do was wait and see what you wanted to show me. No rush. No hurry. Just letting y'all know what I was thinking of doing.

EDIT: P.S. I sent the file a day after I got your e-mail (was busy). You should have it in your inbox. If not let me know.
