Gordon Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Well, since it snowed in Chicago, I figured I'd better work on the winter version of the Matilda II. This along with the summer versions should be released sometime before CMAK. Gordon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I do like the combination of whitewash and snow accumulation. MikeT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT Mike, I'm still partial to keeping snow and whitewash as separate mods (the snow tends to show up better without the whitewash, but it's probably more "realistic" for the Russian winter this way.

MikeT Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Gordon, it does look great. Personally I prefer the snow accumulation look myself. Seems more natural. Whitewashed tanks in pictures usually have a worn in/out look to them. The whitewash paint doesn't seem to last long. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted April 8, 2003 Author Share Posted April 8, 2003 Mike, Well, my sources show about as many vehicles with a reasonably uniform application of whitewash/white paint as those with a heavily worn appearance. I personally am not partical to many of the heavily worn mods as they look a little too random and "busy" to me (they tend to obscure a lot of the graphical details), but to each their own. And of course if anyone wants to use the summer base textures for alternative winter/whitewashed mods, they are more than welcome to.

MikeyD Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Very nice looking. Matilda's a bear to mod. Let's hope the onging Matilda polygon tweaks in v1.03don't mess you up. I can show you a really nice Russian Churchill mod of mine that was based on the old CMBO 'legacy' polygon! I also agree with Gordon on his 'white' whitewash technique. I've seen photos of some mighty pretty all white Russian vehicles. Far fewer German vehicles seemed to be all white. As for the whitewash eventually wearing out, who's to say the battle didn't take place just a couple days after the tank was painted?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a problem, as I've been the one asking for them. I also agree with Gordon on his 'white' whitewash technique. I've seen photos of some mighty pretty all white Russian vehicles.
