Silver Lady
« on: July 22, 2015, 09:01:21 AM »
Lyric1 recently found me a better photo of this aircraft than I had when I originally skinned it in 2009, so I decided it would be my next skin to be overhauled. I repainted the nose art more accurately, improved the ambient occlusion and a few other things, as well as adding bump and spec maps.

This is Silver Lady, a B-25H of the 82nd BS, 12th BG operating from India during 1944-45. The 12th BG operated in the MTO until mid 44 when they transferred to the CBI theater.

Looks great! Great job!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Greebo,

I'm assuming most of the default skins we are using in the alpha are yours and WoW to what the new graphics engine does with them. Can't wait to see this one in the alpha...... :O

I hadn't realised that any of the default skins had changed in the alpha until you mentioned it Bustr. It looks like a few of the AH1 and early AH2 default skins have been changed to more recent player-made skins, not all mine. Changing the AH1 default skins is something I suggested ages ago as the original skins were done in 256 res and let the game down a bit nowadays. I haven't updated my AH1 skins with bump and spec maps and I doubt HTC would have bothered to do it so they probably won't have the latest effects. The new default TBM is my skin too.

Greebo,

You played Steal the Sheep yet? You will like what you see with some of your skins.

I've played with the alpha offline but there's not been anyone on when I've checked online.

Little more history on this aircraft.
