Repaint Question

Great results Rush! A good start, making mistakes is all part of the learning process, don't I know it! As long as you learn from them, you progress. Cool to have Steve's help.

I've solved my own little challenge. I've got photoshop elements, amazing value for the $50 or so it cost, I'm getting used to its interface. But it's missing the one feature I need,  replace colour with Alpha.

So I searched for GIMP's alternative and it's as easy as heck!

http://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-colortoalpha.html

So the below screen shows (from left to right) the final 'dirtier' door, the default door and the raw Ambient Occlusion image I was able to strip using Gimp and layer over the default.  Yeah, the effect's subtle, but I think it looks more 'real' and weathered - glad it's possible for the future. Now I've got some serious materials learning to do in Blender, as I think that's the way to go

Thanks Simon! And thanks to everyone who has supported me on this thread. You're right, having Steve's help was great, and I probably would have had a tougher time without it. I'm gonna try GIMP and see how that works. Now, I'm trying to make curved lines that are scene on most paint schemes, so that will be a nice challenge. Later,

Rush
