Official thread for 5292nate's repaints both WIP and complete

[5292nate]

I did it because working with the new texture format is very difficult andthis is my first repaint with this new format. That being said, I am doing a more simple repaint for my first try (NS) before I do the more difficult CSX one. The CSX one WILL get done, but in due time.

[5292nate]

Coming along quite nicely! I'm LOVING the new mapping!

[5292nate]

Another update.

[5292nate]

2 more. Since it is basic black NS, it's moving rather quickly.

[5292nate]

Last one for now.

Update:

[5292nate]

Last update for tonight. Can anyone tell me about fixing the static numbers and the logo? I'm clueless.

Open up the decals folder. Assets\RSC\ES44NSHP\RailVehicles\Diesel\ES44AC\Default\Engine\Textures\Decals.
2 files. Conrail_logo.TgPcDx and little_numbers.TgPcDx.
Export those and paint the alpha channel jet black. That will make them invisible.
If you want to. Leave the ES44AC white on the Conrail_logo.TgPcDx alpha.
Conrail_logo.TgPcDx alpha looks like this.

You're a painter. You'll get it.

The headboard numbers will be in the "ES44AC_Conrail_numbers.dcsv' like every other normal engine.

Word of advice. The hood will be the color of the Conrail that you cloned from incab. This is incorporated in the geo. I have not found away to edit it. If you clone the NS Nickle Plate and use the NKP geo, you will have a black hood. Something to think about. Do the decal fix thing the same way.

[5292nate]

Well, I have moved on to the next one.

Nate, you were saying about the white unibrow. I had what you had on the CR NS repaint you show above but the center section with the headlight is a cloned over part that is pretty much not paintable. I found the part to paint for it but it also left a big white square on top of the loco. Feel free to mess with it on the 8038. More power to you for repainting these new RSC engines.

Any word on the repaints?

[5292nate]

I've been very busy with life and other stuff. I've committed to to much stuff, and am currently very back-logged on my projects. Some day, I will finish this, but I do not know when.

[BNEdward]

so looking around there hasn"t been many repaints for this new es44 engine. some still using the out dated es44ac to repaint. I guessing new ones is pain to repaint giving the complaxe of file or paint design. so I should scratch out cp es44 8900 series repaints unless rsc get license agreement. now I could give it try but if it very complex for this new model then I going to have trouble repainting.
