IXD skin, Late war, version 2

Ducimus · 06-07-06, 02:39 PM

The orginal skin i hacked together bugged me in a couple ways.
( http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=94068 )

1.) I like a late war skin pack where i combine all of them in one JSGME plugin. Since i darkened the decks i coudlnt do that.

2.) The underbelly of the sub, looked entirely too new, too sleek. It really contrasted to the upper portion of the sub.

So i went back too the orginal stock IXD skin, extracted it, increased the resolution to match fubars, copied part of his IXC late war skin over the stock, then retouched the stock underportion to be a little more darker.

It still needs some work.
1.) I need to get rid of that white line near the bow i think.
2.) Bow and stern deckplates stick out a little. Im not sure if i can match the texture color of the main deck or not. Its not bad now, but its not as good as it could be i think.

heres some pic's.

Close up of stock texture where it meets fubars: The whole point was to get the rust effects, which i lack the ability to create myself
