F-18C Texture template - up to date?


Ben.NZ

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

With all the hype surrounding the hornet pre sale, I've been wanting to start making a custom skin to keep me busy. I've seen the official texture template on ED's website but am concerned that with the EA release, any skin I make now may be obsolete / bugged due to updates and changes in the model.

 

Would it be best to wait for the release of an updated template? Or are the changes not expected to be major?

 

Cheers

As far as I am aware there are some differences with the current template and the new one.

 

I will try to find out more

Does anyone have an estimate as to how long after release an updated template will be available?

Templates arent usually available until they know they will not make anymore changes to the 3D Model.

Do you have any more information on a release of the template, SkateZilla? It looks like they've locked down the 3D model, considering how many skins they're pumping out now.

3D Model can change based on feed back during early access.

 

That being said, the template will be made available when it's ready.

 

A dev simply cant upload a PSD File he/she would use as is, it would need condensing and organizing before being published..

 

Most of my PSDs have upwards of 500+ Layers ... PER LIVERY...

Any news about the template if the "press" guys got the Hornet already?

 

No news yet, the team may have finial tweaks to do to the model.

The template won't be released until the module is released.

Would very much to see it released a bit early! There are quite a few famous F/A-18C squadrons that did not get official Liveries. It would be great to be able to work on them early:D

Since most of the planned squadrons' skins are ready even the fact the team is still fixing the model why this can't be released early? Me personally (as a pro graphic designer) wouldn't mind to get it even in total mess with 500+ unnamed layers - I could handle this :). No problem either that some fixes could come later that will make me to put the corrections after again and again. I'm sure there are many virtual squadrons in need to get it earlier to celebrate the EA release with their own skins.

Because the last time a template was released in such a state (a mess of un-named layers, and UVWs that changed a few patches later), the Community had nothing nice to say about it.
