Yeah, that wouldn't be a problem, but do you mind giving me a little more information on what exactly you are looking for? Are you looking to manipulate the alpha when you export via the export tools or are you wanting to make it yourself within photoshop? If you tell me what you are creating the Alpha for I might be able to include that in the video as well.
@@ditch3rgames Wow, thanks for quick reply! So i have AI-upscaled and AI-Enhanced the textures from F/A-18´s cockpit! And when im trying to convert them back from .png to .dds the flood light lights the whole texture... And i tried making a alphachannel in photoshop, but im doing something wrong
@@-Sunny-- Ok, that helps. I can show the basic process of creating an alpha channel, but I'm not sure it's going to fix your problem. I'm not familiar with the files you are working with, but I'll see what I can put together this week. I probably will use a different file for the video, such as numbers, but the process will be the same. In the meantime you can learn more here: learn-photoshop.club/resources/how-to-create-an-alpha-channel-in-photoshop/
I got a question; hope you can help with. The F-16 has this file f16c_glass_canopy_gold_dif which allows me to put images or write important notes on the canopy. Would you be able to discover the F-18 version of this file ? I've looked everywhere and none of them seem to be it.
Thank you for the video tutorial. Can I learn to draw smooth curved lines on the helmet with a blender or Photoshop or any other software? I'm drawing in photoshop but the result is not satisfactory my lines sometimes bend weirdly. thank you :)
You can. If you find the lines you draw are warping when applied to the model, most likely it is a problem with the way the did the UV Map. In this case, you just have to tweak your lines to compensate for their poor mapping. If you mean more that your lines are blurry, then use the Pen tool to create custom shapes instead of using a brush tool. Vector objects will have cleaner lines.
For anyone interested, the Blender conversion plugin will not load in the latest version of Blender. You have to use version 3.6L to get it to install.
Hey man! Great livery vids! I would really like one where you show how to create an alphacannel the right way.
Keep up!

I can take a look this coming week. Send me a dm on Discord, it's easier to share code, images and files there.
@@ditch3rgames sure thing. I just joined your server

Are other players able to see your retexture work in multiplayer servers yet?
Only if both clients have it. This is something I wish they would fix.
@@ditch3rgames I was familiar with that but I wish they would fix this also

Thanks for the update.
@@ditch3rgames You're welcome. I also sent a message to the developer through the DCS Forums to let him know as well.
@@markkelly7069 THanks man, I was pulling my hair out
ModelViewer 2 hola tienes link de ese programa
It's in the DCS install under your bin or bin-mt folder. I use the MT version.
