Superbly!

After hours of work I just have to give up on a very annoying bug with this textures. Applied the new skins, but the hull area of the ships is half transparent and in certain angles there is another texture shown. There should be no rust on the hull, but somewhere that area is set to be transparent.. maybe to let the rust texture to pass.. or something. Not to mention that there should be no rust, at least I let none on my tga. Im too tired to think about it now, need a break.







PS This is a very similar bug to the one with the 7a con tower where you can see the crew shadow through the texture/metal. Actually is the same bug, material transparency set too low.

Still getting the strange damage grafx when my imports get hit.
I know I must be missing something simple !
How to escape the dmg_new01.dds and see the "Holes below waterline" ?

Any Thoughts appreciated.........

It's a little complicated. If you send me your files I'll look it over

Is this caused by the Shadow Maps for that model?

Is that my ship! looks good anyway. I think it's the ambient occlusion map that is showing in your picture:




This was taken when I edited Sh 4 ship, for some reason, if I enable this occlusion map in my import, all I see is black. You could send the ship to me and I'll take a look at it.

I can check your ship too if you still have the problem.

Yeay! What about when the boat dives, do they dissappear or is it a underwater crew?

I would bet my money on the occlusion map.
But I have no xp in working with 3D model, so Im sailing in the dark here.

Its very hard and frustrating to work on these things without any tutorial nor knowhow. And loading countless time the game just to test a minor change makes me sick already :/
