Many thanks for your very clear and instructional videos! I currently don't know much about texture editing but considering to take the plunge, I mainly would like to customize the strength of the canopy reflections in certain modules as I personally feel they are a bit too weak/subtle... I understand it's a matter of playing with the alpha channel of the relevant textures, any tips on how to proceed ? I identified the textures but am stuck on how to actually change the colors of the alpha channel.. Thanks
@ditch3rgames3 ай бұрын
You are welcome. Sounds like you are on the right track. First, you can't change the color of the alpha, only the transparency. For the colors you will need to edit the main diffuse file and play with the colors until you get what you want. For example, if you are looking for a gold tint, the color in the editor will not be the final result, due to alpha and reflections. For this reason it takes a bit of playing around. If you are looking to make it more or less transparent, just change the overall transparency of your alpha channel.

Looking forward to watching this one! I've been trying to get more into making skins recently for DCS. Stuff like the Apache had me wishing I could somehow use something like Substance Painter, even if it required me to learn an entirely new program, because hunting down those rivets and bolts quickly moved the skin making process from enjoyable to just soul crushing. After working on the Apache to create the Czech Air Force livery I was working on, the Ka-50 III seemed incredibly easy and enjoyable by comparison.

Thank you for the video tutorial. Can I learn to draw smooth curved lines on the helmet with a blender or Photoshop or any other software? I'm drawing in photoshop but the result is not satisfactory my lines sometimes bend weirdly. thank you :)
@ditch3rgames3 ай бұрын
You can. If you find the lines you draw are warping when applied to the model, most likely it is a problem with the way the did the UV Map. In this case, you just have to tweak your lines to compensate for their poor mapping. If you mean more that your lines are blurry, then use the Pen tool to create custom shapes instead of using a brush tool. Vector objects will have cleaner lines.
