Yeah, I have no knowledge yet regarding the structure of things and their relationships, and how these translate to a proper work-flow.
The diffuse (that's what it's called? The thing I did?) is mainly just the ones that are visible, according to the attached psd. If you want I can delete the ones that are not involved.
Hold on a sec.
Edit: The attached is one where some layers are deleted. Can you teach me about alpha channels and the such? This way, our future work together will much be easier. Or, can I see the alpha channel file (if there's such?) so I can study it?
Like, do I separate Mid tones, low, and high tones? Highlights and shadows?
well the alpha just overrides with the team color. all i did was make the blue parts black and white and copied and pasted them into the alpha channel. making the rest white.
I hate you. You can't just leave me now!
Attached is the new one. Can we try this?

@GnaReffotsirk: Go
i shall so you make all layers should be visible correct?
also something i've had to fix. The alpha channel needs to be done to match the RGB. the alpha dictates where team color appears.
i can fix it up for now tho :)

@GnaReffotsirk: Go
alpha is just part of the diffuse. theres the RGB channels and then theres Alpha channel. do you use photoshop or gimp?
@maverck: Go
Photoshop.
edit: Yes I see it in the channels tab. The black and white one right? What should I be doing with these to fix things?

I have a lot to learn on this subject.

:P it's fine really. you've made a pretty amazing texture. the touch ups and specular/normal maps i can do myself just fine :)
i have more textures i require if you're bored enough also :P
@maverck: Go
Yeah, I was hoping to work on more.

arbiter and corsair :) these are very low quality. im not sure if you have good reference images to base a texture off however?
@maverck: Go
Nope. I no idea how DeveRR0 made the texture. I need something like what we did with the reaver.
1. DeveRR0 makes rough texture
2. A Screen shot deveRR0 posted, showing the texture on the model
3. The .psd file.

Cool. Do you have the original .psd files for the textures?
Or just the uv unwrap thing.

@GnaReffotsirk: Go
only the DDS files. are you able to open DDS? otherwise i'll just convert them to psd for you
I have dds 2 converter, yes. This is harder without the lines, since I'd be guessing where stretch would occur and such.
Anyway, I'll give it a shot. I hope DeveRR0 can provide the same thing with the reaver.

yea im not sure how the lines are done heh
Yeah, this would help.
edit:
Mav, is there a way I could preview this? I'm getting confused by the geometry, and I'd like to be able to preview what I'm doing.
DeveRR0, what program are you using to create those screen shots?

Mav, can you try this? I need to see where this is heading before adding more detail.

@GnaReffotsirk:
thats with normal/specular. however you can barely see the specular
also if you dont mind. the texture is only 512x512
increase it to 1024 if you like :P
@maverck: Go
Yes, I actually resized it to make smaller. Nice.
Any thoughts?
