Title: Capt. Don Gentile - P-51B "Shangri-La" by Kev367th - Spec Map Update Test
Post by: Vraciu on July 31, 2018, 03:54:03 PM

I think this makes a huge difference.  Even if all I do is change this much it is a big improvement IMHO.

It's a nice skin.  Lots of work went into it, that much is evident.

I darkened the Diffuse by about four percent and then created spec maps for it.  I may darken it a tiny bit more.

You're welcome.  All I did was create some specular maps to tone down the shine.  The work is still the original skinner's.    The day may come where I redo the whole thing but at this point I think it is okay as it is--without the glazed look.   Kev put a lot of work into it.

One of the prime examples of why we still need the coffin hood 51B to go with the Malcom.  This bird is just so wrong with a Malcom.  It never had one and doesn't look the part at all.

Not complaining about the skinning work btw, just that despite the nice work on the skin, it will never fill in for Shangri La
