Another WIP+ a quick question of opinion - Jaypack44 - 24.12.2009

Hi all, I've been working on a new template for the B-25J over the last few days, and I'm getting pretty close to the "ready to make some skins" stage, but before I do, I wanted to get everyone's opinion on some things. I've kinda been experimenting with some things, including new chipping techniques and some "post-processing" (e.g. sharpening of the skin after it's exported). I've done test skins of both sharpened and unsharpened versions, and I'd like to know what you all think about them. Also, any other remarks, suggestions, etc would all be very much appreciated. I'd also like to know if you guys prefer my old chipping style, or the new style that I've used on these and my J2M3 skins.

Anyway, here are the screens, let me know what you think, and Merry Christmas to everyone!

The difference is subtle between the skins, but it's definitely there:

On the contrary, I find the unsharpened one more true to life :?
They both look gorgeous... 8)

Merry Christmas!

Personally I like the sharpened look best. But the other is no ugly-duckling neither. It

Great job! I'd go for the unsharpened. But the difference is small IMHO, so you can't go wrong. Keep it up!!!

Very nice skins mate , They look so real and I love to fly the B-25 Mitchell Hope you will do some generic skins for the new B-25s of the Pacific Theater of Monguse and the team .

The difference is hard to see on the screenshots but it's easier to distinguish the difference on the templates. The sharpened ones look more crispy so to say.
I prefer the sharpened option.

That was the plan I'll eventually get around to doing the earlier models of the B-25 as well, there isn't too much difference other than the turret placement, a few panel lines and some other minor details.
