Title: Aces High II Skinning Tutorial Website
Post by: United on October 18, 2004, 05:45:19 PM
I spent all day today working on a website to help new and confused skinners out with certain techniques.  I posted everything I know and all of my skills on this website, so what you see is everything I know.

I hope this proves to be useful to some people.

Put a bit in about using 'Eyecandy' PSP plugin for weathering effects.

Its what I use for the basic weathering on skins, the soft dark lines on the airframe that represent dirt streaks.

It's working for me.  Perhaps you can try it now and see.


Kev, where can I download it? or do I have to buy it?  I'd like to see what you're talking about in detail so I can write something up about it.

United, sorry taken so long -
The Eyecandy free plugin is no longer available, I have it on my disk.
It is a 2mb file if we can figure a way to get it to you.

Thats alright, I'll just use the one you posted in your shading technique e-mail, which is now available on http://ahskinning.netfirms.com.  Please tell me if there is anything wrong or if there is anything you want me to change. :)

Just checked, its not for metal skins, its for creating pre-shaded 1024x1024 swatches that you use for camouflage.

Eyecandy is for doing the basic weathering layers, so it is different from the swatches technique.
