[REL/WIP] Arnook's SCS Containers Skin Project (V7 - 1.39 - 24/01/2021)

[Arnook]

Special for Abass

I tried something else this week, a dirty/rusty container for a change, not that satisfied with the results but the template I have doesn't really make things easy to have full coverage ...

Problem also is that SCS containers are a little wrong when it comes to the 3d model and also only the texture will be rusty, not the model, but that's alright, I needed some practice anyways lol

This could be done kinda by adding a Normal Map in blender/zmod, it could also make it look like there are scratches in the paint and that the weathering has had some ”bite”. But this requires different Nmaps for all skins because of their variation.

[xXCARL1992Xx]

and if the skins are applied as they are now with 1.35 then you would have to scratch the nmap that is actually used. for all i know you cant sue 2 nmaps on one material

[Lunna]

If im not mistaken you can have differnet Nmaps in a single material, we have ”look” system ya know Thought i havent messed with cargo skins so i dont know if they can use the look system.

[xXCARL1992Xx]

the looks wont help if the AO and the skin use the same material (what they have to do to work properly) those a second nmap wouldnt work

this is the way SCS does it with the randomized cargo, i dont know how far Arnook goes to do it, but if he uses a premade model from before 1.35 i think it will be different but still not really usable with 2 nmaps

[Lunna]

Well that sucks, was a good idea tho If i can say something about it myself

[Arnook]

Well... I don't have any idea of how anything you guys said works, never made/used normal maps before...

But I do see what you mean by adding some sort of fake scratches with a normal map Lunna.

However, as I said, first i'm gonna try to make all of this work in 1.35 with my limited skills and we'ell how it goes after that.

I'm affraid i'm gonna have to learn how to use blender for this project ...

[xXCARL1992Xx]

well, better now then later, i also started to learn beginning last year partially also thanks to GTM and now you see where i am

but trust me, with the randomized cargo system the mod would be easier for everyone if the game just chooses a skin, and not the player via drag/drop of skin files
