United,

If you have them, send them to me and, with Fester's approval, I'll put the tutorial up at netaces.

Oh man, sorry Hammer. That PC is long gone now. Hopefully The Fugitive can come through for you. This tutorial is full of info and would be a great addition to netaces.

fine by me. this was lost long ago when my old pc's hard drive went kaput.

I still use most of the techniques more or less but for flush rivets I only use 1 white dot with no shadow dot now. I let the deformation shading do the rest. previous versions were to much tank rivetlike for flush riveting.

the b25 high res default skins are a current example of my flush rivet methods for the moment. you can view the raw High Res b25H bitmap by saving the default skin while in game if you want a finished example of the shading techniques to examine.

Well, regardless, it's still a good explanatory resource.

I'm just starting to take on skinning, with no graphics background, but it really interests me having done sketchwork most of my life. So I just got a copy of Photoshop 7.0, as well as Gimp, and like to see what I can do.

Besides, I'm a big fan of your work Fester. Like to see you get all the credit you can for the time you've put in:aok

would a skilled technical illustrator with 20+ years experience OTJ in aerospace make a good skinner?

I have often wondered this.....reading Cits up front skin tutorial makes it look easy enough.
