My First Skin!1!!1 Mwahaha!!1!11!!!
« on: April 23, 2006, 05:29:53 PM »
This is my first skin ever!:D

Well, it isn't a entirely NEW skin persay, merely a modification of the original skin, but I like it none the less. :)

The A6M5b (my plane of choice:cool: ) I noticed had ALOT of green on it, so i added a very nice white stripe. It seems to give it more colour and is a bit easier on the eyes.

Again this is my FIRST skin, so I would very much appreciate all of your opinions and any suggestions.:aok

P.S.
If any of u could send me BLANK templates for as many of the planes in AHII as u could that would be nice:)

well...here it is:




P.S.S
That Picture Hangar is very nice, but i'm too cheap to pay so i can post more pics  ( i got 3 more):(  SO, if anyone knows another way to post sum pics PLEASE let me know!
static36@aol.com

P.S.S.S (can i have that many?) Is there ANY way i can have my skin on my plane in the H2H? Even if it's only me who can see it. PLZ lemme know!

P.S.S.S.S (last one i promise;) ) I noticed alot of people got avatars, how can i get one?:(

The only way you can get a skin to work in H2H is if you make a map and include that skin in the terrain. I don't know if you have flown in my Midway Map in H2H but the main set of planes have been skinned in it.


Your skin is still in 256x256 pixel size, 1024x1024 will give you more detail. But you look like you only painted over it with white, which erases the panel lines.

i thought i did set it at 1024x1024 pixels? i'll check that out. and yes i did use white, and yes i did paint over lines, because I was struggling to stay awake. :confused:

ANY TEMPLATES WOULD BE VERY HELPFULL!

taking the default skin and resizing it will not improve the detail. It only stretches it out. You should resize it then redo the entire skin, not just paint over part of it.
BTW, one thing you may want to do is look for a historical skin first. Most all skins you will see in this forum are based on a historical plane.
