I thought it was time for my first blog, and evidently our [B][U]400th Devblog![/U][/B]

So hi, I'm CT. I started playing around .95, I started modding here when someone needed a new texture for the Sherman tank, and then I just worked on more things from there. When I'm not mucking around in photoshop I'm working towards my Aviation Technologists diploma, which is fancy for I want to be a commercial pilot somewhere :razz:

I figured after our WW2 beta you guys are thirsty for more :grin: so without further wait

As you can see, there are 4 different layers, 3 of which are usually used in all of our weapons. [I]NOTE:[/I] I called it an alpha, technically its called the Opacity map, its used in the alpha channel in the refractor engine. The alpha is either a specmap or used for transparency like in the barrel guard in this case.

So here's a really basic go though of how I textured the browning after the model was ready. If you can read my writing that is, its not so good on a tablet :-P
