It would probably look better if it was less uniform-i.e. of some of the original texture was exposed, rather than all areas being consistently brown.

Looks a little too orange

I\'d throw in some splotches of a brownish tinge too

I like the idea though

I would disagree with that comment on the tri-stack thingy mabob

Like streaks?

You\'re getting much better, but these look more like cheetos than rusty rockets to me ;P

lol cheetos, do have an RGB for a rust color then?

[Leicontis]

The dirt/rust/corrosion/etc. would be uneven in both distribution and color. I\'d suggest doing a few image searches for rusted objects, and looking at where rust tends to focus.

As an aside, if these are supposed to be reused-and-poorly-refurbished parts, perhaps LFEs, SRBs, and pods should show some appropriate scorching (from exhaust in the first two cases, from reentry in the third).

Not so much the color, but the density. The rust is much more apparent than the material beneath.

So burnt marks?

Rust really isn\'t just one color in my opinion. It\'s a combination of multiple colors, each fading in and out in a mixture of rough and smooth transitions.

I used a bit of rust in this image I made a while back

I use Paint.NET, a great free photo editing/creating program

Idk what program you use, but for PDN I used the cloud effect with a high roughness, then set the layer to overlay and played with the RGB values until it looked right. Honestly, I probably used a lot more than just 1 layer.

I also threw in some green because this was a metallic-like image. I don\'t think green would help you here, but my point is that sometimes to help 'bring out' an effect, like rust, you need to go outside of the immediate idea of rust. The green, although very subtle, helped give it a hue to give off an old look which pushes you to think 'Old, withering, rusty.'

I use the GIMP. As soon as I figured out Paint.NET doesn\'t have the ability to adjust the size of a selection, instantly uninstalled.

Say what?...I do that all the time.

Once you make a select box, you can\'t make it smaller or larger without redrawing the whole thing.

[Spacecats!]

You can do that in PDN.... Back on topic, you\'re overdoing it. Nowhere enough detail.

Yah i am not the best skinner....

You totally can >_>

It\'s called the 'Move Selection' tool which is located right below the 'Move Selected' tool

You can use that tool to adjust/resize/rescale any selection you\'ve made.

Caesar what Photo image editor thingy do you use? I\'m curious

[Vaccer]

I think you proved me wrong on their can never be too much rust. Keep at it and try to layer rusted looking textures over the original ones and clean them up so it isn\'t a giant rust covered cylinder.

[MC3craze]

That rescales the image in the selection box like in paint, that defeats the purpose.

Plus single-window mode is also in GIMP natively now

I\'ll stop the thread derail now.

But...you\'re still wrong...you just described the 'Move Selected' tool >_>

GIMP and paint

Oh rats. Then I have no words of advice. I can\'t use Gimp

I tried, I failed, I went back to Paint.NET

If you\'re using paint, I\'d at least suggest trying Paint.NET since it\'s setup pretty darn similar to the regular MS Paint program.

Even if you don\'t use it\'s full potential, you can at least get smooth lines n stuff out of it.

Paint.NET\'s true potential is held in the effects and stuff you download. Right out of the box is good, but definitely not AMAZING

[MC3craze]

But...you\'re still wrong...you just described the 'Move Selected' tool >_>

I used it for like 2 minutes. May have made a mistake, but GIMP suits my needs better than Paint.net does.

Mostly because Paint.net is Windows only.

[The Mindwalker]

I do a thing called Picture Wars, and I use PDN, becuase you can do so much detail with it. Another reason for that is because I have no idea how to use the messy hell GIMP is.
