This was the first skin that I made and as I look at the skin more and more, I realized how much I could have done better... So I fixed what was wrong with it!
Things I changed:
-Spectacular of the standard skin (the non-bump mapped skin) was way too shiny. It no longer looks like it's made of chrome.
-Cut way back on the paint wear and grime along the length of the aircraft.
-Added bump map and spec map support.
-Fixed the text on the nose of the aircraft to actually match the real thing.
-Added the mystery word (was a word shown in the photo but I couldn't figure out what it said last time).
-The line along the length of the aircraft where the black begins is now no longer straight, it has more of a "hand painted" look to it.
-Other technical stuff you guys don't care about.
The paint wear on the bottom was very light this time around. Last time I showed this skin the point was brought up that the ground crew would have worked hard to keep the amount of paint wear to a minimum. I don't know what kind of paint the would have had but I suspect that it would have been an off color black that they used. I tried to mimic that this time around leaving very small sections exposed. Did I do this correctly or did the ground crews have access to the actual colors used on the aircraft?
And just because that's what it was meant to do...
