hancerPL Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 They were supposed to be after the release of Tomcat, I am also waiting, because DDS files can not be edited. Specialization A-10C https://vbw304.pl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods-o_joy Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yes you can, I've done this many times in PS. Its not ideal but it can be done. No, you cant, not for skins, Skin PSDs are layered in such a way to make it possible to 'paint' colors and features where you want them on a model, with a DDS you will end up painting over all the dirt, grime, panel lines and grease as well as the Prerendered shadows. Skinning with just a .DDS is impossible. A10C - Block 5+7, AV8B/NA Harrier, F-14B.

Skinning with just a .DDS is impossible. Not if you paint over with a separate layer set to 'overlay' or 'multiply.' I've done that many moons ago before paintkits were even a thing.

Cutlass72 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) How U do it? I cant convert the F14 ones I was referring to other modules TBear, it seems the F14 is a different kettle of fish! Mine are either all black or PS gets a "program error" when trying to open the Exteriors. I've tried the liveries folder and textures folder. The only one I could open was the exterior cockpit view. I've tweeted HB in the hope its not too far away for the kit Edited March 15, 2019 by Cutlass72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinning with just a .DDS is impossible. I know that's why I said it not ideal, I've done clone stamping etc to do a simple repaint of someone else's dds skin, but it's not impossible.
