Hey!! Great skin Foofighters!! It looks great! And it was a real fast download too. Thanks for workig it out. It is much appreciated

Thanks for all the nice compliments :88) I appreciate it !
The downloads are on my own website. So downloading from there goes pretty quick. If you love old US cars, you can also try the site itself.

p.s. the white Olds is my cruiser which we just drove up to sweden and back for holiday.

The holiday was oke.. to bad we had lots and lots of rain.
For some pictures of the US car meeting check this site http://www.vlt.se/powermeet/index.asp
For pics click on bildspel.

Look forward to seeing your next skins.
Nice car too. I didn't know that there were classic american cars in the netherlands.

FooFighters, How did you make the lightmaps more metallic look?

I use the original skin BMP. Open it in PSP7 and then adjust the brightness/contrast (shift B). I have the right figures on my home PC. I will place them here tonight.
Include it in the ???O01.dds file. The game does the rest.

p.s. wow finally a cool avatar.. :up:

The right figures are brightness -50 contrast +50

Check out the first post of this thread for some new added skins !
INCLUDING THE NEW S-CLASS !!

:up:

Great Skins :up:
Thanks for your hard work on these.

note: There is a TYPO on the first picture title.

Great Skins - downloading now.

But noticed the link for the Black clean Gato points to BALAOBLACKV10.rar

Your's and Boris's work is fantastic. Looking to see more of your work.:up:


Jim

FooFighters, there seems to be a problem with the link to your early-war black Gato skin, as it links to a Balao skin instead.

@Wovik.. Typo corrected :up:

@JREX53 and LukeFF(=FooFighters ?? :D ).. link is now correct.


Thanks for the help guys..

Here some first shots of the Tambor / Gar Class submarine.
I use USS Tambor as example for this skin

This is one of the most must have MODs. If subs were women they'd all be 1940's pinup babes in bikinis they are so fine to look at in this game now.

any chance you got a skin for USS Drum? I would love to make the boat as it was during WW2.

The "Plain Jane" look w/ no numbers is pretty boring. That must have been the last thing they did before they released the game. Missing Draft numbers...common UBI :)

Got to love the realism factor :)

During WWII all subs did not wear any numbers, battle flags or insignias.

But I know what you mean with boring.. I've tried this before. But as long as the texture mirror problem exists, it cannot be done nicely.

Here's a shot of USS Drum returning to homeport 1945

My USS Whale (Gato) skin looks very close to this picture (only not weathered, yet)

This is what I made of it in my half hour lunch brake :rotfl: :rotfl:
Now I really have to go back to work.

Fellow captains..

I need your opinion :arrgh!:

I start working more and more with photoshop (always used PSP7).
And I am really falling in love with this program ;) It's amazing !

My question.. (because I can do a lot more with PS then PSP)
Should I make all clean skins with a bit more shadows and a few dents like the skin below.
Or should I release this seperatly ?
Will anybody use these or still the clean one ?

I will finish one Gato or Balao skin asap so you can see these skins ingame.

This is Balao V1.2 skin clean as released previously
