So lets say something along the lines of a vii in degrees of decay? Not nessesarily battle damage but rusting, wear & tear.

[Sledgehammer427]

it should be possible, i have to work on my rust, but im sure I can do it
Don't forget, ill need a color preference too, do you want default, or a custom skin color? or possibly would you want me to modify a skin you have?

I believe that someone already did digital camo on a VII, I don't recall who it was though.

Well... I've always dream to have a WET skin, something that show that the uboat is actually WET, which it should be, after all its in the bloody water all the time.

I've spent two weeks working on several projects in photoshop and corel draw to make a skin that looks wet, but the end results didn't please me. I've become in contact with some skinners, whom told me that what I was trying to acomplish was nearly impossible.

What I really, really, really wanted, was a RUSTY WET skin, metal shinning on some spots, a long shiny line across the ballast tanks, due to being wet. The metal on the uboats on SH3 looks way too bloody dry, like they were never out of the shipyard.


Anyway, just my two cents...

Certainly not impossible, but tricky. To make the u-boat look wet, you have to play with light and increase "reflection". There is a problem with that though, the wet look will never change, sunny, rainy, day or night, it would still show the same type of reflection.

Oh, and by the way, Sledgehammer, very nice skins! :up:

Better always wet than always dry metallic! :roll:

Anyway, just my two cents...Its not impossible but difficult. I did it accidentally with my first skin I never released. It was a conning tower effect that would make it look wet under certain sun conditions. The sun would have to be at a particular angle for the wet look to appear. Problem is I can't remember how I did it. :rotfl: I'm sure I would stumble on it again. :damn:

Drawback is if the sun isn't at the right angle the skin looks dull.:-?

I played around with this same thing last night. And just like you Wolfehunter, I got the wetlook in the sun, but at night or in a storm, it looks terribly dull and rather undetailed. Like I said before, it is possible to get the look, but it would only look right in certain light, and only be good for screenshots, not actual play IMO.
