[WIP - 0.25] Squad HD Re-texture Project - Continuous Release (July 25)

[blackheart612]

Just import the mu in blender, go to the uv image and press edit mode on the 3D view, the UV appears.

Edit, wow, damn, I had fun making the topside of the 2m (and 1m) engines, here's a pic XD

Is it just me or this poodle is sexy?

and then here's another

(I know the tops are the same. I'm sorry, that's the least I care about at this time, I wanna release engines as fast as I can)

Are you using gimp or ps?

[blackheart612]

Photoshop. Why is that? Though I got gimp, why, it's free. XD

[CaptainKipard]

I asked because I use gimp and looking at that latest texture there one tiny thing I would change. If you look into using vector paths for painting some things you can make those short lines around the outside look smoother. The way it looks right now is as if you followed the UVs. I know I'm nitpicking and it's not even going to be visible when the engine is attached, but paths are a good technique anyway.

[Orionkermin]

Just wanted to say I like your work so far. Wish my own texturing skills were this good already.

Can you explain that a little bit more for a layperson like me?

Dude, I love your work. Back when it was still RadishPod XDDDD

Here goes another:

[BFGfreak]

You're going to hate me for asking this, but have you gotten around to the fairings yet?

HAHAHA oh man, sometimes I see pics of the original and I just shake my head.

You have a good eye for detail and color. And most importantly you work at a great pace. Keep it up!

I rather like the Radish and Spud pods. Was hoping you would continue this line.

I love this - it lloks great.

Sorry if I am being a bit thick - but is there a download available yet?

http://nooooooooooooooo.com/ , If I everybody is so eager and I am not that ADHD prone, I can release the engine textures first. Though I still don't hate you

Where do I use this technique for, kip? I'm sorry, I'm a bit... dumb. XD

Lots of people ask that D: (None at this moment )

[erkha343]

I love the rockomax engine texture. They look so much better than the stock ones, can't wait

[BudgetHedgehog]

If I everybody is so eager...

I don't know about everyone else, but I certainly am so eager!

[blackheart612]

That's nice to hear

Here's Newbro Kerman and the T30

[CaptainKipard]

Where do I use this technique for, kip? I'm sorry, I'm a bit... dumb. XD

On the very top of your engines there are some short dashed lines arranged in a circle. You can use it there, but really you can use it wherever you need mathematically perfect curves.

[blackheart612]

I dont see where it is imperfect. I use the perfectly circle 100% hardness brush on PS with a slightly smaller one. Now I select the big one and deselect the part of the smaller circle. So they are really perfect. Can you point out what part of it is imperfect?

[CaptainKipard]

Those black lines on top there aren't curved. It's not a big deal like I said, just keep this technique in mind. On my hubs for example those panels were drawn using curves. I don't know if you have a better tool available to you in PS because I don't use it.

[blackheart612]

Oh, that. They aren't supposed to be like that. Since they are a simple detail, I keep them as a place holder at the moment. Don't worry, I plan on changing them.

[blackheart612]

Is this better?

Or should I remove the band around the combustion chamber? I got that part named right, right? XD

[CaptainKipard]

Why not make the chambers look more metallic like in this picture?

[blackheart612]

Because they would be shiny when launched anyway.

Edit: so banded or not?

[Voidryder]

I like the bands.
