[WIP] Gato light grey w/ rust

Dowly · 03-27-07, 07:29 AM

I´m working on a new Gato skin on top of the Gato Re-color. The rivets are now visible, also I added some rust spots to the boat. Still need to draw the panel lines & finish the weathering effect. Anyone know where the conning tower texture files are stored? Atm, the boat is using the default conning tower textures.

Here´s two early shots of the boat:

Thats looking great

...shame my system can't run the environmental effects though, the transparent water is awesome (can they make it a seperate option??).

No, that´s one of the late war towers. It´s a slightly blue, metallic. Not light grey, look harder!

You mean the number? Or SS-228? You know, it will be mirrored on the other side, so it says SS-228 on one side and 822-SS on other?

The skin is pretty much finished, just needs some finishing touches. But unfortunately, today, my RL has taken turn to downhill, so I need some time off from everything. Hang on! S!

It´s not a life & death issue, but ****ty still. I can put the number there, but it will be mirrored on the other side. Your call.

I tried that on a Porpoise skin...big fat nice NAVY style 172...looks really bad when you look at the left side of the boat. I was like at it for 2-3 hours and went FFS!!!! when I realized what I had done :p...Well I guess you learn somet new every day
