scarebus 29 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hi, could someone tell me how to add more shine to my repaints please? From reading the paintkit manual you use the 'MASTERSPECS.DDS' I think but I do not know what you actually do with it. Any help would be very much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarebus 29 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Also the MASTERSPEC.DDS files in the paintkit are locked?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movieman162 15 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Im not sure as i dont do repaints but i think you are supposed to add it as a PSD layer to the repaint you are doing. Dont ask how but im sure its something like that. Try drag/drop or copy and pasting it into your layers section for the texture you are working on (In PSD/PSE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movieman162 15 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Have you tried something like transparency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankees 180 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 you can also make the alphachannel a bit darker, that will increase the shine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jankees 180 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 open the texture file in dxtbmp, export the alpha (button below the alpha square), do with it whatever you like, and import it again, save as dds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
