Mulbin's Flags - Custom mission flag collection.

That was speedy, Mulbin! Did you have that already made? Thanks so much for this, he'll sure by happy.

Oh, and a question. When you import the flag file into Photoshop (after exporting a PNG from your vector program), how do you go about applying the KSP flag texture? My technique is to place the "minimalistic" texture over the flag and use the Linear Burn blend mode on the texture layer. It usually results in a high contrast flag but your design looks different than mine, in a better way.

(when applying to black flags, I invert the texture and use the Screen blend mode; if there are some black parts I export the PNG of the vector for a specific flag component and use masks with the inverted texture)

Nope, I'm an illustrator and designer for a living so I'm pretty fast with Adobe!

Place the minimalist flag on top in a new layer then adjust its brighness and contrast to make the creases much stronger/darker. Then reduce the opacity of the layer so you can see your design through it.

Mulbin, what angle is the diagonal stripe on the Union "Jeb" you made? Just curious to see how you chose to put it where it is. I've tried many setups including drawing a stroke from one corner to the other but the angles don't match with that. I could just trace the stripe but that wouldn't be exact.

Oh, and for anyone interested. I made a Kerbalized Canadian flag, enjoy I traced the Kerbal from this: https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/images/media/wallpapers/kerbals/kerbals_1920x1080.jpg

Awesome work! Might I suggest for Canada you do a rocket instead of maple leaf!

Just out of curiosity, can you do one similar to the New Zealand flag?

I made some flat versions of the flags for use as ship decals, then I made a few other flags based off of them:

Here's a rough rendition of a Kerbalised New Zealand flag. Obviously I'm not Mulbin, so I don't have access to his original .ai files to edit with, so I just selected the stars in Photoshop and made them red with a white inner stroke. Not perfect, but should work for now. I take no credit for this because Mulbin is the one who made the originals.

I also used content aware fill to erase the other star, so the flag fits the pattern of New Zealand's flag relative to Mulbin's Kerbalised Australian flag.

Still cool though! Thanks
