Links??

There are no links yet. What you see is a WIP and I haven’t even begun to look at how the BMS rendering/lightning affects the skins which, until now, have been optimized for a DX6 environment. In the last 4 years I’ve created, tested and released skins for FreeFalcon and never had to deal with such beautiful rendering effects and their effect on how the texture looks.
Case in point is that the above bird is actually light grey in color but the lightning makes it look much more blue than it should. Another point are the panel lines which are almost invisible due to the lightning.
I’m consolidating all my Tomcat artwork right now and I’ll look at these issues and how to resolve them to get to a qualitative result. Right now I’m just beginning to see how things look in this new BMS environment and along the way I’m sharing my findings.
Stay tuned.

As long as the colour is calibrated correctly when you make the skin (in photoshop) I would just leave it as it is.
Even in real life, certain colours can give off distinctly different reflections depending on light source direction and intensity, the same will happen in BMS.
In your pics, it seems like it is dawn, wouldn;t be surprised if colours will look a little different than expected,

i know this has been asked before somewhre but i have a member in the 27th that is friggin tomcat NUTS, is there any way to put the standard viper pit in the cat model to make his silly arse happy?

Posted this over at the FF forums and figured I’d share it with you guys as well…
It might not look like much but what you see above is the (almost) complete consolidated artwork of the last 4 years into those 7 PSD sets…note the tailart list on the right
It is almost complete because everything pre-1996 is missing as well as the VX and NSAWC squadrons due to their unique paint/panel combinations.
After having done this it is now much easier to compile skinsets in the pursuit to bring this ‘Tomcat Saga’ to a conclusion .

I realize that no one here has seen the 4 1/2 year 70 page thread over at Free Falcon so let me just say you can expect some serious screen shotage and Tomcat skin releasage here soon, Baby.

Keep it up my friend .

IMO default Tomcat skins are g8, the only necessary thing is to fix the wings issue!!
there are tons of misareble 3D objects that needs help.
all should focus on them, you talents!!:wfish:QT

QT,
I should’ve mentioned this in my first post. This is no upgrade project for the Tomcat, the default skins are absolute pieces of beauty and with that I mean every single one of them. The level of detail, the weathering as well as the selection of squadrons shows that this is Kittylove at its absolute best and it certainly don’t need any improvement. Look at this as the Tomcat enthusiast forum - pointless, long in the tooth and beautiful, Baby.
This project grew out of my personal interest and fascination with the Tomcat and all the people behind it (or at or in it at the time:) and the pursuit to improve the standard FreeFalcon skins back in 2007. Ok, I gotta admit I just wanted that awesome Jolly Rogers skin on the Cat and no one had any skin for it so I decided to make one myself - that’s how this started .
I do realize that the F-14 is not the focus nor the prefered A/C for Falcon, especially not for BMS but I figure if I do the work might as well post it here as well.
I can’t help you with 3D objects unfortunately but anything to do with carrier operations and naval aviation and skins - I’m a fan!

Great job mate! I love those skins! Hail to the Cat!

VF-213 OEF Boss Bird…almost done with the package so all you Tomcat fanatics (the 2-4 persons there are) can expect a zip here soon!

Man, that cat looks wicked!
This might be my favorite color scheme (or at least in the top 3) for the turkey. By the way, are cat-lovers that few in the Falcon community ? -
There are some even more wicked ones you might favor…I’ve put together quite a lot…there are a number of fans some call themselves Ram like that Pick-up from way back in the 30s…some others have less obvious names about the ETA I’ve always been reluctant to give one but given the limited time I need to complete this and the limited time I have to spend on this I’d say some day in the second month of 2012…
PS: Anytime, Baby!
