MaidenFan Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 When making a repaint, how do you keep the textures without covering them up with the paintbrush. Quote

MaidenFan Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Posted February 9, 2011 Haha, that's how I felt!hehe Quote
FlorianR Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 the textures have to be layered. for example, the windows, doors, and rivets, are all on one layer. you would then create a new layer underneath that layer and paint it, but the windows, doors, and rivets, you still be above that layer and you could therefore see them . hope this helps!

Lukasz Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 Ben constantly amazes me for his ability to join facts together. I wish I had some of his powers Quote
MaidenFan Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 Create a new layer on top of the blank texture layer. Change the layer mode to multiply. That allows the layer underneath to show through.That's exactly what I was looking for. I'll probably make a fictional Iron Maiden livery or something. Quote
MaidenFan Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 I messed around for a while and made a livery with the new paint kit. I saved the files as PNG's and made a livery folder. When I try to load the livery in the sim, it tells me that some textures are missing and then the plane shows up as a plain grey color. I made my folder like the other liveries, so I don't see why there's a problem. Quote
Cameron Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Did you make sure the filenames are the same? As in...did you ensure that when you re-saved the file into the new folder, that you did not RENAME the PNG file?The file name needs to be left the same as it was before you edited it (Or the same as the others you see in the livery folders).

Oliver Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Just an idea, you could post a screenshot of the "livery" folder you're trying to create, just so those of us who make liveries can tell you (or at least try) why it's not working Quote

I need to change a sampled colour (like white) to transparent, I have Photoshop elements 9, have asked Dr Google but can't find anything yet. Sorry to butt in Rush! Quote
MaidenFan Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Posted February 11, 2011 You weren't butting in. I would like for more people to post photoshop challenges on here because the chances are, I will approach that problem later.Thanks for all of the advice. I'll figure that thing out when I get time later. Quote

I'll figure that thing out when I get time later.Good attitude Rush, I often find answers in other threads like this before having to ask a Q.Thanks to Steve too, for trying to answer my query.Here's the specific question - Below is a screenshot of a snazzy Ambient Occlusion effect I've managed to get in Blender - it reminds me of Theo and Goran's and all the other great Dev's effects.i'm pleased to get a hint of the effect, but now am stumped as to how to apply it to my textures. I'm happy with the base textures of the 'crapper' (the crapware toilet, with all its filth), but as an experiment would like to apply the darker pixels in the below image. So I need to remove all the white, leaving the little darker pixels, then I can just insert the effect as another layer. The magic wand is too heavy, it takes alot of the white with it. In PS Elements 9, I can't find a way to sample the lighter colours to remove them. I've read one method is to access the image/mode/colour table, but I can't get that to activateAnyone got an idea? This would be great to add some real looking highlights. I'm really new to this Blender stuff, so maybe I'm approaching it the wrong way? Quote
MaidenFan Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Posted February 13, 2011 Will, I made my first Livery. It's nothing much, very simple, but I like it. It's still a WIP, but here's what's done. Quote
Oliver Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Looks Great Rush! Congratulations on your first livery ! Quote
MaidenFan Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Posted February 13, 2011 Nice job....but what does the other side look like? : Took me a few times to get the starboard side right.The right side is messed up. It has the number, but it's backwards and half of it is colored blue. I'll get to work on that in a few minutes and hopefully pound out the dents. Quote
MaidenFan Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Posted February 13, 2011 I'm stuck????? It only shows one side of the plane, which is the left. I'm not sure how to go about that. Quote
