Splash Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Ok, so I figured one of my first skinning projects with the new 4.357+ would be to re-do my Bundeswehr scheme for the new Eagle IV model. (Why there's never been one included is a mystery to me, but I suppose there are reasons.) First I noticed the newer 4.357 models get higher-resolution textures. Nice. Lots of real estate for detail. Then as I got into this project I noticed ... Every. Single. Bolt. on the crew cab of this vehicle is modeled and textured individually. And I'm like, What the actual f**k? Some will be green. Some will be brown. Some will be black. But which ones are which? <scratches head> Maybe the author has a secret location key, and willing to share? So, long story short, I guess this might take a little longer than I thought. 😳 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DK-DDAM Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 well i could have been kind and upload the template... but bet youd find that even more confusing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Yeah, a little late for that now. 🤣 Probably true I would have found it confusing. I struggled quite a bit with Roguesnake's templates initially ... but that was due primarily to me being a self-taught hobbyist at this stuff. This was a bit of a nightmare, no lie. It was simple enough to convert the stock all-green version into something I could paint camo layers underneath, and I have a pretty good eye for mentally unwrapping corresponding shapes on a texture to locate the various structures on the model ... but when I ran into the need to individually find and paint dozens of identical bolts -- I just about dropped the project. Then, obsession with it got the better of me. 🙄 I like the way it turned out. It's certainly good enough for the interim. But I think I'll call it done and move on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
