WG Artist : We had an old Type 59 tank that no one plays anymore, what should we do ? WG Boss : Just add a bit of grey and orange so that it becomes golden ! WG Artist : And then what ?? WG Boss : Just sell that in auction for +50k gold xD All together : FANTASTIC !!!
In my opinion it's easier not to create a custom skin for the type 59. Instead of that you could use the original type 59G model that can be found among the game files, and just rename it.
16:30 now I finally get to know what's up with Char Futur's spotlight which actually starts glowing blue when some blue/white 2D styles are applied, it also works for red skin from 122 TM marathon
I sort of wonder how to make these textures containing something called albedo (base texture as seen in perfectly diffuse light), roughness, "metalicity", normal maps and so on, to make something like scratched copper with patches of green rust. Even worse how to make machined metal which has roughness depending on orientation. Making program which renders it to look good seems as the easiest step ... it's just a few lines of code plus some color space conversion. But making texture of metal object that shows wear on the most exposed parts such as edges? Making model of plastic object with fingertips? Hopefully I don't need it, but sometimes it's weird to see computer graphics with these photorealistic materials showing wear, rust, dirt, wetness and so on.
@@pavelperina7629 Its the textures working together for deciding how light bounces off of an object, or making the surface bounce the light towards a different orientation; using normal maps to basically customize the normals of a face. It is totally fascinating you can create a fully realistic object with only 4 maps, or (like WG did) packing roughness, metallic, and other information (which the game engine uses to customise the tank) into a single map! Then the Albedo and the normal map. Thus using only 3 maps, but containing more information. There is one more map called AO (Ambient occlusion) which is generally used as a mesh map to generate the textures itself, used here as a texture map. It adds either snow, mud or sand on occluded surfaces like the turret ring to add more realism. Making of the textures of the surfaces you said like "metal object with edge wear" or "plastic object with fingertips" can be easy with texturing programs like Substance Painter or Zbrush. I personally use Substance, and it uses layer system like a photoshop. You gradually add the information to make the surfaces as appealing as it can be. I totally sounded like ChatGPT I know lmao, and sorry for the late response I just saw the comment. Cheers!
Really cool video, man, but you got some stuff in an inaccurate way, so here are some considerations from a 3D artist: The GMM map appears to be a Glossiness Metallic Mask map. Red is glossiness, green is metallic, and blue is a mask (for removing the diffuse color from cammo, making it go back to the paint color). Maps with 3 letters like that in 3D texturing often mean that RGB is "parallel" to GMM (these maps are not industry standard so there is a bit of guessing here). It is a way to store 3 separate black and white maps in a single image (this saves resources on the PC as opposed to loading 3 separate images). Therefore, the white, gray, yellow, and other colors you showed are just affecting multiple stuff at the same time (Glossiness, Metallic, and Mask). There is no gray channel in RGB, so when you start doing that gradient to white and black, you are actually changing all the RGB channels at the same time to make gray, white, and black.
yep. Basically these files contain grayscale, smoothness and metallic information packed into a single image. Idk why wg used this kind of texture maps. kinda interesting tho
If you are worried about breaking the "original" standard def and you are comfortable with programs like PS or Gimp etc you can just use layers and copy the layers.
Good stuff man, thanks! I have skinned in war thunder, and very little is done with the luminosity map in tutorials and such, so a lot of that I have done with just experimenting. There is actually a skin someone put up that has the different colors and how they show the different textures, which was super helpful but it is easy to tie up a lot of time in a skin. Something I hadn't heard you mention to anyone is that only you can see this in game, unless the others have the same file as you ofc. I am not quite at the end yet so IDK. Is Invil short for invilid?
Hi @chems how do you get to the 2D style image files?... I'd like to create some customer water slide decals and would prefer to make them from the original in game image files. I have a few tank models I'd like to 'skin' to match the tanks I have in game.
Thank you sooooo much! Yesterday I was on UA-cam for 3 hours looking for a video that shows how to do this, and this video is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for the video, I'll have to watch this several more times and do some experimentation before I can make the skins that I'd like. Btw, are your skins available to download anywhere?
Amazing, so WG added a golden Skin by just a few moments of 3d paint editing and earned a lot money, same goes for all the other 2d skins, and just 3d skins are really worth payng money, thx!. My PC run wot in the lowest quality settings (potato pc with a 750ti), so im not tryng this. Sry for my bad english :).
My question is: are these skins visible only on our own screen, or all the players can see them too. I have played for some time, with non-historical filter off, and I have not seen any tanks that are this "pretty and shiny?". I liked the video, and would like to try some of the things displayed in here.
Thank you, great tutorial, but i dont really know how WG check for illegal mods, but i heard something like they can look into your mod folder (it might not be true). So im worried about doing this because if they really check my mod folder and they find this (the edited 2D textures), i think i would get banned. So is it safe to do this? Should i be worried that i get banned? If anyone know how WG check for illegal mods (for ex. after clan campaign) can you please explain it to me?
can u please guide us on how to use the colour thing because when i try to remove the background it doesnt remove it and just shows black and white pixels behind the design
I did all the things that you said but still it didnt work on me. You said and did everything very good, but whenever i tried to see the changes i did to the AM files in wot, the tanks were the same
I was sittin here for 40 minutes, and just watched, how i don't understand a single thing, like a Brainstorm or somethin. And at the and. And fu off. Bursted out laughin mate. excelent video. nice explaination, i don't understand a thing tho, but some will.
Love the tutorial, I never knew you could change the textures like that. I tried it myself, and am having some issues, hope someone could help. I followed the directions and it seemed to work. My char mle skin loads perfectly in the garage, but when I load into a game, the skin doesn't appear, and my game crashed within 10 seconds of the battle starting. Any idea why? Any and all help is appreciated.
Fuc*... That UDES skin is amazing! Want that on mine. And all this is legal right? Will this changes show on everyones game or just to yourself? Also, will this have same cammo effect?
@@omegaomega3 mate... it's a legit question. Dumb? maybe... but legit. Addressed to you? NO! So... if you're NOT in a good place in your life right now dont come here to release your frustration... go spank the monkey! I can handle jokes and so... but ass holes like you no thanks
Pkg files are my favourite files, as they allow to change almost anything in the game, e.g. few days ago I put night for all current maps by simply replacing "environments" folder located in every map's pkg file with the "environments" located in current garage's file and also with the same method I made daytime in the garage, although it looks awful as all the sky effects are just plain textures, so they remain no matter the skybox

@@matetoth4571 It might be better to just replace the 59 with the 59G instead of renaming the 59G. Just in case you actually meet one.

The yellow channel (i suppose) is used when tanks go in the water, they use a sort of shade from purple to yellow that goes all purple after some time

I swear WG is gonna do something because it threatens “market integrity”…
i know wargaming sucks ass, but they seem to not care about visual mods.
They don't care cause that doesn't interfere with the money they make or could make.
theres a plenty of tank model changing mods out there
eg. a mod that turns T-100LT into PL-01 concept
