Thought I'd show a screenshot of what I have been working on the last couple of weeks. The diffuse file is mostly done but I still need to create the normal, specular, environmental and power maps. The normal map in particular tends to make GV skins looks a lot better.
I have been asked several times over the years to make skins for the flakpanzers but have resisted doing so as their 3D shapes are very basic, best that can be said about them really is "not as bad as the Tempest". Also there is a lack of decent period photos of them and some of those do not to have units associated with them. However with Lyric1's help and a couple of new books I have found enough info to do about half a dozen Wirbelwinds as well as a couple of Ostwind skins.
One thing I am mulling over is whether to skin the gun file. This would let me make the paint and weathering match the rest of the skin and I could do a better job of the metal effects on the barrels. OTOH the gun files aren't in the list of submittable files so I'd have ask Hitech to add them. Also it will be another week or so's work each for each of the shapes, so for both reasons it might delay getting the skins into the game.
