yevgeni89 163 Posted January 25, 2013 Im trying to get started down the texturing path but I haven't found and real good tutorials , something step by step that could tell me which tools to start with and how to open up and view a a greyscale and start slapping on custom textures and camoflauges on. I know its a whole lot more complicated then that but I just need a little direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slatts 1978 Posted January 25, 2013 I did an old one...and I mean old, I've learned a ton more since then. I'll give you a few quick pointers To make a greyscale, find the NOHQ map of the texture you want to do. Then use desaturate to make a grey scale Create a new transparent layer or file the same ratio as your greyscale. Get the camo you want, I use camopedia. Remove the mark and scale it to 256 X 256. Make seamless. Copy, then use the fill tool -> pattern fill, and select the camo/clipboard option(Using GIMP) On the new layer or file you created. This should fill it with your camo. Copy this over your greyscale and make it transparent. Adjust the brightness/contrast if you need to. Then using the original add in the decals like boots pouches etc. I might redo that video when I have time, been meaning to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakai 1 Posted January 25, 2013 Of course than it comes to "Model Texture Edit" or in simple way "Hex Edit" if you want to re-texture bis model because hiddenselections do not work on them. I'm a terrible teacher so I cant explain properly but I hope someone will :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yevgeni89 163 Posted January 25, 2013 I really hope I can get that video because then I can watch and do and pause it and rewind if I need to do something over, but any help is welcome for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And this is actually all you need to know about re-texturing, Slatts tutorial tells everything you need, I learned by watching it, about config's, you can always use my config from SURPAT or Flectarn-D russians to see how it works. Good to know, now I can stalk you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
