Skate Zilla's F-86F Liveries and WIP Thread

SkateZilla · October 7, 2015

This week and weekend Im gonna be working on the tanks and pylons, etc for those as well as cleaning up extra files, the LUAs etc.

Also gotta run some 24hr cycle tests to make sure it looks as desired during all lighting conditions.

right now the 3 updated ones are actually set to replace the original 3 I had already done.

Gonna have to move them to their own and make sure everythj g is good before I pack up.

I personally thought I overdid the reflections on the v1 pack.

also got some errors to fix that I noticed this morning in the layer order.

Working on Moving Polished v2.0 to their own Folders now, and then making sure they work side by side with the old ones (for those that want both).

v2.0 will be it's own pack.

Superb!

1st post updated.

I am not sure how this works but I believe the 1.5 skin versions have the spec layer reversed. Meaning, the spec layer gets rendered on top of the graphics layer. In 1.2 and before versions, I believe the spec layer rendered first. All my P51 skins look jacked up.

NICE!!

SkateZilla · March 28, 2016

These use the latest UVW Coordinates from the latest 1.5.3 Update,

Coordinates for some items have changed, so All previous liveries will need fo be updated.

Some items in the UVW Map have been Moved/Resized.

Please check the default main dds in the textures folder and compare.

I'll Update my public template as soon as I can, right now its 2.5 GB PSD as I have all my Custom Layers.

Will the high polish Aluminum look come back? I miss it

Not with this pack, Theses are All Bare Metal Weathered / Active Duty.

Likely Separate Pack of Polished Airshow Liveries Later on.

Im also looking at getting painted/weathered tanks done for the camo liveries.

Cool, understand weathered look, was hoping they did not take the high polish look away entirely. Seen a lot of skins that need to be reworked. because of latest change. B(

SkateZilla · March 28, 2016

Existing Liveries will still look fine, but will need some misc parts of the texture adjusted due to items moved on the UVW Map.

This new pack takes advantage of greatly improved weathering and speculars that came with the latest 1.5.3 Update.

I will re do my Polished Liveries, just not at the top of the list right now.

Shahdoh · March 28, 2016

I have seen some liveries lose their shine since the latest update (or 2 - not exactly sure). Though JUST the Sabres, no other A/C affected.

SkateZilla · March 28, 2016

1.5.3 / 2.0.0 Use a different shader than 1.2.16,

But the Chrome Shader itself is still WIP.

Testing the Camo Colors In Game at Altitude..

SkateZilla · April 19, 2016

Sorry, So the Bare Metal Skins are Pretty much Ready,

Had to fix the Specular and the Camo Liveries as I found a few errors in both Diffuse and Specular Layers while going over them in ModelViewer w/ Fine tooth comb.

Also Started on some FJ Fury Liveries, though they are a ways away, and still deciding whether or not I want to make the Borts Static or Dynamic, as there are no Wing, Flap or Rudder Bort meshes. not to mention Animated BuNo Meshes.

Finally got all the latest UVW Coordinates Dumped and Rendered and fixed a bunch of lil things that where misplaced a lil bit.

Also Adjusted the DescriptionLUA Files to work with the new Borts and Old Borts at the Same Time.

The Start of a F-86F w/ FJ Fury Markings..

Notes:

-Not color corrected or w/ unique speculars yet,

-Also needs a few path adjustments on the nose stripes

-The Stripes are Rough Drafts and not the finals.

-Also working on Grey/Metal FJ Liveries (will Likely be a Separate Big Pack)

-Not all markings are integrated yet, basically bare metal w/ VF-153 Stripes, No Navy Decals etc yet.

Skate,

You da man! I have a custom skin that Crazy Eddie did for me of a representation of a USMC FJ-4 for VMA-343. As you might imagine, they are pretty much porked now with all the graphics upgrades since he did them and haven't heard from Crazy Eddie in awhile. Any chance you could clean those existing "Furies" up for the latest iterations? Would be much appreciated.
