Altered an existing repaint. It came out blurry first, then ok and finally shiny

Featured Replies

Hi.I have recently started to get into texture editing in a bid to get good at repainting.I took the PMDG Easyjet 737/700 repaint with a view to change the text to "Come on, let's fly!"This was accomplished pretty easily using the healing and text tools.I then saved as 32 bit bitmap which at first didn't work at all because I didn't use DXTBMP.So I opened DXTBMP but forgot to remove mips so it came out all blurry.Next I removed mips and it came out perfectly apart from forgetting the exclamation mark in the text.So I added it. But, this time the aircraft appeared extremely shiny. You could, however, still see the text.At this time time I was tired so packed it in.What was I doing wrong? Something to do with Alpha?Cheers.

Yeah, sounds like the alpha. Open up the converted bmp back into DXTBmp and have a look top right (if you can't see anything go to Prefs - Display Alpha Channel) This window a thumbnail of what the alpha channel looks.. I'm pretty sure that it'll look black :) You can take the alpha channel off a different paint schemes bmp by just opening it up in DXTBmp and exporting the alpha.. then importing it onto yours.
