Ben.NZ Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 17, 2018 ED Team Share Posted January 17, 2018 As far as I am aware there are some differences with the current template and the new one.

drPhibes Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The new 3d model is completely different from the existing AI F/A-18C, so the existing template will most likely be obsolete when the module is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkateZilla Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Does anyone have an estimate as to how long after release an updated template will be available?

hughlb Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 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. | Windows 10 | I7 4790K @ 4.4ghz | Asus PG348Q | Asus Strix 1080TI | 16GB Corsair Vengeance 2400 DDR3 | Asrock Fatal1ty Z97 | Samsung EVO 850 500GB (x2) | SanDisk 240GB Extreme Pro | Coolermaster Vanguard S 650Watt 80+ | Fractal Design R4 | VirPil T-50 | MFG Crosswind Graphite | KW-908 JetSeat Sim Edition | TrackIR 5 | [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Greekbull Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 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 AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D | ASUS Crosshair Hero X670E | 64GB G Skill Trident Z DDR5 6000 | Nvidia RTX 4090 FE| Samsung EVO Plus 6 TB M.2 PCIe SSDs | TM Hornet Stick/WinWing Hornet Throttle and MIP | VPC T-50 Stick Base | TM TPR Rudder Pedals W/Damper | Varjo Aero/Pimax Crystal VFA-25 Fist of the Fleet Carrier Strike Group One(CSG-1) Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMFA117_Poko Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

joey45 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Nope.. When it's ready. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
