dpabrams Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 How about the decals for the M1 Abrams? It's time I learn how to do these, I now have PSP. I wan't to release a redo of the M1A0 Cold War Pack but I have a feeling many people wont upload my stuff because of the decals on the skins. A lot of players just dont want to screw around with copying TIS files and the like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpabrams Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 OK, I see that I can use the abrams_decals.psd for the M1decals_decals.dds. I wish there was a tutorial for decals, I just can't wrap my head around masks. I am getting frustrated with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ_Fubar Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 One way, though not the easiest, to set up your alpha channel is to create a white on black version of your color decals set up with individual elements. Then go to the channels tab, select the current alpha channel, and delete it. Select the white elements you created, go back to the channels tab and press the "save selection as channel" button on the channels menu (second from the left along the bottom). Once your new alpha channel has been created, you can edit it directly, just like any other layer, to create any blending and damage effects you want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpabrams Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Major,I am not fluent in Photoshop but I know PSP well and have skinned in it for over a decade. I used to work in alpha's when I did train simuilator a long time ago. I am trying but again, its hard for me to get my head around. I wish there was a tutorial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpabrams Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yep, right over my head. Might as well be Chinese. I have decided I hate decals, they are a football bat, a soup sandwich. I will never get the 4 hours back I spent dicking with alpha's and masks. What a hand job! Now as always, the decals will be on the damned model. I appreciate the tips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer_Leader Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 More on the off chance really that, while we wait for v3.0, a 'skinner' might be interested in developing a Danish skin for the M113A1 circa 1991? I'm putting the finishing touches to a scenario I'll be publishing soon featuring a Danish M113A1-equipped armoured infantry company -- it is hopefully the first of four scenarios over time -- and I'd quite like a Danish skin for it. No other reason really but unfortunately I don't have the ability to do it myself so I thought I'd request it of the community in case someone thought it would make an interesting project... Here's a picture of one for anyone thinking about it: Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to seeing what you do with it; the WIP screenshot looks great.Thanks again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
