Aragorn2002 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Question. Did anyone ever made a winter mod for the 88mm FLAK? The one in FB is okay and can be used in CMRT, but doesn't look very impressive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps is already on the way... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I have been holding off to reply. I TRY to fight the urge to always open my big mouth in the forum. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK, all along, CMRT F&R ALREADY HAS a snow camo Flak36. The same damn file as they shipped with CMFB. We've paid for some of the same stuff 3 or 4 times. But I digress... ````````````````` It is tagged [whitewash]. I forget but I think that is connected to a certain date range in your scenario settings. It doesn't have a [snow] tag. You can change it yourself and have more flexibility. [snow] tags seem to be for file images that have wheels that show snow in the treads. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9gu13tbevpahjmf/flak36 [whitewash].bmp?dl=0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to CMFB, you can count on an armless guy's fingers the vehicles and weapons that you haven't already paid for if you own the three other WW2 games...

laurent 22 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Sorry, I just read the messages. I'm still working on British vehicles and armour, I still have to finish the Fox and the M9 Halftracks, but I think it's going to be copy-pasting with textures already done for similar vehicles. Then I'll give the package to Bootie. After I will redo some Russian tanks such as the SU 85, its white camouflage is very sparkling on my screen. If you have a specific request don't hesitate, but as a priority I work on vehicles that don't have a snow texture at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) @laurent 22 A few questions if you don't mind! What program(s) do you use? How many layers do you typically add? Do you apply a layer texture above the base image and then work in that new layer's layer mask with white and black? How long does it take to do 1 vehicle? How long have you been doing this?

laurent 22 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 So for @kohlenklau, my cooking secrets since May last year are: in 10 min with 1 or 2 layers in photoshop, by playing with the color replacement tool I obtain the vehicle in white, then I erase on this new layer the areas without camouflage. I pass the resolution from 72 to 300 dpi, but not always, for example to go quickly I worked on the Sherman Crab in 72 dpi. I paint snow, and sometimes a bit of rust, with Krita's brushes on one or 2 layers, which can take the day spread over the week. Painting snow relaxes me, and on Aris' excellent mods it's a real pleasure (on a Wacom graphics tablet). To identify the surfaces of the 3D model on the 2D bmp file, in 1 hour I paint it with numbers or geometric shapes then I take screenshots of the vehicle. You will recognize in my works the influences, and not the plagiarism, of Bruegel the Elder and Monet. I don't paint snow, I am snow, Jon Snow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like kohlenklau is writing in French… Did the Finnish and Hungarian mods (gulash?) had the same effects on you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read some books and study the area. A good learning opportunity. I admit that my knowledge of the 1940 French campaign is lacking. I would love to fly over and get some guided tours from various forum buddies. In particular I want to go see Voncq. I already started a basic Voncq map and my brain sees a short France 1940 Mod campaign I could write. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already started a basic Voncq map and my brain sees a short France 1940 Mod campaign I could write. I'm ashamed to confess that, in spite of all my readings, I never heard of the Voncq battle. I had a quick look on a battle account found of the web (first hand account by a French officer), and I discovered that it was one the few battles in which FCM-36 tanks were engaged! Well Phil, now you have to model a FCM-36 for your France 40 mod… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
