Can someone teach me how to make repaints?

**///PESSO** · 08-03-2011, 05:44 AM

Hy, I want to learn how to make repaints since it's very hard to find someone that will do some for you....I don't know nothing about making repaints so you'll have to teach me from the very beginning.

If someone is willing to help me, I can send my Messenger ID to talk easier...

Thanks

there are some useful links about repainting. I think on one of the links is a tutorial.

well first to make it simple you need a paint kit
heres a link to a 787 one for you to try: http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=150162

first of all you will need:
a paintkit (above)
Adobe Photoshop (dont use paint!!!!)

if you want you can get some logos off google images and copy them onto it

1. Open the image you are painting in photoshop
2. Click on the paintbrush on the toolbar on the right
3. Zooooooom in to where you want to paint first
4. Then select your thickness of your brush and colour you want to use and paint away!
(the more you zoom in the better)

plus if you want i can package the 787 if you repaint it and ill put it on flightsim.com

Happy Painting!

you also can use DXTBmp, but this requires Paint...
and photoshop you have to buy, DXTbmp is free. but DXTBmp is originally for manipulating textures.

There might be a free one... but it won't be a legal one

A free alternative (that i use) is GIMP: http://www.gimp.org/

actually i think it was a trial from adobe or something. one that doesnt have all these extra features but you can still use it

I have photoshop but I ain't too good at it. I found a good tutorial but because of my lack of photoshop skills, I can't do too much

Like I said you might be able to insert logos/images from off the Internet.
If not I'll just upload a video to show you how to but only if you request it though.

What video can you make? As I said, my experience level in Photoshop (CS4) is at a pretty basic level...I tried to make a livery just by replacing the colors and I failed...yes, it would be great to have a video in which you make a livery while featuring and explaining different techniques...any kind of help is good. I promise I'll upload all of my liveries as soon I'll be able to make them
