Improvements to G-CJWD and change in reflectivity #41

Closed viktorradnai closed 7 years ago

viktorradnai commented 7 years ago

The paintkit is a bit of a mess now but I didn't want to merge down all the text layers until I'm done with G-CKEJ as well.

viktorradnai commented 7 years ago

@D-ECHO FYI the texture on the rudder is scaled too much when viewed from the left, I had to make that letter a little smaller to compensate. The font is Arial for the fuselage and I think it's Arial Narrow for the rest. I didn't have Arial Narrow handy so I just stretched the text a little.

Please have a look whether it still works for you now, I changed some configurial things

ghost commented 7 years ago

Btw, I saw you removed the reflect-type 2 part, don't you like it? It's actually for just this defined, highly reflective surfaces which are white -> if the reflection is too much, it can be changed by reflection-correction

viktorradnai commented 7 years ago

The effect still works for me after your changes.

I found that the fuselage was way too reflective, it looked like highly polished metal. Using the same effect as for the wing gives more consistent results.

@viktorradnai Okay, fine about the effect (for the moment ;P) I've corrected the rudder uv-map, the changed .png can be securely overwritten

ghost commented 7 years ago

@viktorradnai do the people at your club never polish the ASK21 good?

ghost commented 7 years ago

@viktorradnai Do you want to correct the livery or shall I?

viktorradnai commented 7 years ago

I'll do the correction, I have it open in Gimp still.

viktorradnai commented 7 years ago

@D-ECHO I've further improved the liveries of both JWD and KEJ. The font used seems tricky.The reg uses some variant of Helvetica I think, the BGA callsign (the three letters on the tail) are something similar but a little bit different. Be careful if you need to edit this, some of the letters come from a different font :) Maybe best to just squash down the layers and call it done.

Regarding fuselage shininess: this is the UK and these aircraft get rained on at least once or twice every month. They are shiny but not like glass or metal :)
