NGXu Paint Kit Help.

Featured Replies

Hello, I would like to make some repaints for the NGXu but am confused on how to use the paint kit. I'm still a noob when it comes to using Photoshop but have been able to create some simple liveries for the previous 737 as well as the 747V3. The part I'm confused about is how to use the metallic files when making my repaint. From what it looks like you paint the master file as normal and then copy the textures from each section of the fuselage to the correct fuselage file, but do you just copy it again to the metallic file or is there more to it? Also there is the regular master file for the fuselage and then the metallic version so don't know what purpose of the metallic master file is if there are metallic versions for each section of the fuselage. 

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

If you're painting a regular livery that's fully painted, you don't need to touch the metallic files. You would only need to worry about that if you were doing a livery with bare metal on it since that controls the amount of shine for PBR effects.
