Ryan Mason Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 That was what I was getting at, I couldnt figure out why it was a touch blurry, what program are you using to do your paints? just a fellow repainter trying to help out mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

}SkOrPn--7 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I know bugger all about repaints and to me the repaint matches the remainder of the image so unless you can crank up the graphic settings I would take a stab in the dark that your doing fine it's hardware related or driver related but still a good image getting in the spirit of all things Olympic.

squeeker Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 You can get DXTbmp for free at: http://www.fly.to/mwgfx/ Also see the following thread http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=2816.0 from this forum. It might help. You do your editing in Photoshop CS3, but "through" DXTbmp. ie load the original image into DXTbmp, then export it to Photoshop, work your artixtic magic, then import it back into DXTbmp and save. DXTbmp allows a bunch of different options for the saved format eg extended bitmaps, DDS textures etc. To make the image crisper I guess you could try increasing the size (eg 2048x2048 instead of 1024x1024) and you'll get more pixels per square m of aircraft.. I don't know if all aircraft models will let you do this. Good luck mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
