KI-84

[ink]

is it just me or does anyone else wish weathering wasent included on the skins? idk, i just think it makes the paintjob look bad personally.


i wish ether

1: planes would spawn with a fresh paintjob, and obtain weathering during there sortie.

or 2: every plane spawns with a fresh paintjob, and with each sortie aquires a bit of weathering to its look. but you'd also have a "reset" button for the paintjob incase you didnt like the weathered look.


just my opinion 

that would be very taxing on a system.

Ink,

I think you should give it some stress cracks/wrinkles like the plane had the watermelon flown out of it..... and some patches where it was repaired....it should be a plane that flew 500 sorties then ran out of gas and sat in the jungle for 50 years.

I agree the meatballs needed to be weathered more.

From an artistic point of view its brilliant. Too bad I am a muppet and everybody thinks im saying that becasue of it.

Most of the skins we have are what I would call "typical"....different but nothing special...you have created something great!!

I'd fly it!    I like the heavy weathered look myself...it is quite different...but I do not believe unrealistic based on photos posted.

I think it's over done too, it looks great, but over done. Post some of the pictures you were going by showing the peeling and such. If you can prove it looked that bad it would help its case to get passed.

I didn't go by any pictures, except when I was doing the rivets, I just looked at a crap load of pictures on lineof KI84's and just Japanese planes in general, I knew what the plane looked like, I used a pic for placement of the jolly roger also(just remember that)

Maybe a little less blur on some of the paint wear, as it might look like it came off as chipping in some percentage.

I changed my mind bout the bullet holes. Gotta leave the one in the skull

Congrats to ink for really shaking things up and getting lots of people commenting in this thread!  I agree its a brilliant work, like nothing I've ever seen before.

You know ink, you could do two versions submit 'em both and let HTC decide.   I like the idea of the ghost plane, so you need to get us a screenshot where you've zoomed in enough to make the pilot disappear, that'll REALLY make it a ghost ride!

yes if he can sharpen the contrast without sharpening the base then that would make the pealing-3d effect come off even better.

good idea!!

The plane looks great in the last photo though the black from the guns looks a bit too black and with a fade effect would be really cool. It really draws the eye right too it instead of the rest of the skin. Personally i like the wear gives the impression that the "plane" is an old warrior who has survived many battles with little time and supplies.
