Thanks Gap. Actually it's been a while since I did any skinning and bump maps etc weren't standard fare at the time. So the weathering etc I did was all painted in one image. Most of this was pre-high res too. I think the following images were all 512X512 IIRC. I might need some help with all the overlays you mentioned.
These images are all from IL2 Forgotten Battles. Around 2006 I think. I also designed the landscape textures in the 3rd shot. They probably look somewhat dated but I think they hold up. I love doing weathered work.
I'm keen to start this kind of stuff again. SH5 is great and I'm thoroughly enjoying TWOs.
