B-17 paints so far

[Lewis - A2A]

Smashing stuff Jankees, thanks for the re-uploads

The P3Dv4 B-17 is back underway after a few hiccups along the way. I unfortunately cannot guarantee the old repaints will work or indeed if they do look as good as they do on the older model as its going through the whole PBR process that requires a slightly different less artistic approach to painting a 3d model (lighting etc etc is all done material wise so no need for artist lighting, shading etc on the repaint anymore for example.)

In the good news though I can say the progress information I am seeing is very promising and regular, the B-17 in PBR looks simply stunning!

cheers,

Hey boss. You'll have to give us a run down on that process when the time comes. Technique, programs used for production etc. Give us PBR newbies a fighting chance to re-do our older skins. Perhaps some new painkits even.

My hopes is that little change will be needed re-painter end. The materials will be defined in the model so on the one hand it should be simpler to produce smashing looking paints, the downside is that some of the artistic creativity is taken away. A bare metal object for example no matter how its painted will always have the properties of a bare metal object unless changed in the model itself. As an end user I think the eye candy pros far outweight the cons though. Looking forward to see PBR filter more throughout the FS world.

For the B-17 both bare metal and olive drab are being produced

thanks,

Hmm. Sounds very limiting. Unless of course there are two models. Guess we'll see eventually.

I hope we'll still be able to tone down or add some extra shinyness, or to add dirt and stains? Or to create weathered and worn paint, so with the bare metal shining through?
