Title: Russian Hurry 2d
Post by: toadkill on May 13, 2007, 12:42:59 PM: So found this on Wings Palette today, and I think it would be a welcome addition to the Hurricane skins.

Post by: rogerdee on May 13, 2007, 06:23:22 PM: this plane was posted on the list as being started before chistmas ts show in one of the hurricane lists.

funny i was working on it today almost got it finished too.

stoped doing the skin because the wait for new skins was too long

Post by: toadkill on May 13, 2007, 06:39:17 PM: Well. If you are almost done with yours then i'll let you submit finish and submit. I missed that post saying you started on it.(When i searched i only did for 3 months) I'm just here to put skins ingame, for people to fly. So i dont really care who puts it in, if its in. Plus working on this is more Experience for me.

So if you want to finish yours just tell me, and ill hold off on submission, and just finish it for practice.

I appologize for stepping on your toes, but sorta wanted to try and get it in next pack.

Post by: rogerdee on May 14, 2007, 09:52:06 AM: nah mate not a problem you go ahead and finish it and submit it,i can change mine,if i feel like finishing it,but to be honest at the moment the game is getting stale for me and the long wait between skin packs has jusy got annoying and frustrating.

you go ahead and do the skin
good luck with it

Post by: VooWho on May 14, 2007, 04:23:06 PM: WOW that looks sweet!!! I like the crash photo on your first post with the 40mm off the wings and stuck in the ground.
Title: Russian Hurry 2d
Post by: toadkill on May 14, 2007, 04:36:13 PM: Yeah took a while to find that one. Russian pictures from that time are pretty scarce compared to American and British. She doesnt look all that badly damaged in that picture, wonder what happened.
Title: Russian Hurry 2d
Post by: Krusty on May 14, 2007, 04:45:47 PM: I'm seeing some pretty obvious errors in the camouflage, especially where it meets on top of the nose and on the spine behind the canopy.

IMO you cannot submit it until you've corrected these problem areas.

Also the left/right sides of the fuselage are not identical. You need to find the border spots for either side, and tweak it so that the skin looks right in-game. Your right-hand side extends too low and leaves a large dark slash beneath the trailing edge of the wings. The lower part of the nose may be hard to map, but it is not impossible. These areas reflect on the quality of the skin, and need to be sorted out better.

I don't mean to be harsh, and if I've come off that way please forgive me. I just hope you fix those before submitting.

My camouflaged Hurr1 is running into similar problems, but I'm overcoming most of them. Just takes more tweak-and-check, rinse & repeat, than the solid black color did.

Post by: Dux on May 14, 2007, 05:02:39 PM: Also, as I found out from our Russian skin experts, that there are not normally stars on the uppersides of the wings... only undersides.
Title: Russian Hurry 2d
Post by: toadkill on May 14, 2007, 05:06:26 PM: Bah all that staring at it, and i totally missed that on the top of fuselage. Thx

Edit: Thx Dux, ill remove them then.

Post by: toadkill on May 14, 2007, 05:54:27 PM: Krusty, I'd say thats fixed now.

Hope this is satisfying enough for you Krusty (i wanna get back to furballing)

Is it a trick of the light or is there a camo gap where the green wraps on the spine? Seems like the fuselage green stops right at the top point of the red star, and the rest of it comes in a good ways forward of that.

I cant edit the top area without making skips in the paint, so i had to run it over to the top, and move the camo aft quickly, so i made it pretty much a straight line

Post by: MotleyCH on May 14, 2007, 10:15:16 PM: nice detail:aok
Title: Russian Hurry 2d
Post by: Krusty on May 14, 2007, 10:28:02 PM: It's mappable. It doesn't just stretch. Take a look at my in-progress hurr1 (same setup as other hurrs)

The narrow slit is where it's mapped. Some of that detail is the default skin showing through, but the stuff I put on top of it is easily discernable. I've outlined in red the areas on the spine that this maps to.

Post by: toadkill on May 14, 2007, 11:11:24 PM: Well, Its mister 'make me work for my skinning' :lol

fixed it, made it line up very close to perfect.
Title: Russian Hurry 2d
Post by: Krusty on May 15, 2007, 08:30:27 AM: Cool!

I hate to bug you about it, but I've seen a few skins in-game where the camo really doesn't line up and it always irritates me. Such a minor thing, but if you're not going to make the camo line up, it seems like a half-hearted attempt.

Post by: rogerdee on May 15, 2007, 09:25:00 AM: personaly i think you have done the ribbing on the rear fuselage too bold,it really sticks out alot more then it should

Post by: Lusche on July 06, 2007, 04:21:02 PM: I just wanted to drop in and say "Thank you!" for that nice new HurriD skin. As a dedicated D-driver I do appreciate it very much!
