strange skin behaviour

David, no problem, you want to start off something like this please excuse my rough drawing



The Spinner is split into thirds, which gives you this.

hey shado!
i was trying exactly the same you are showing now with your second picture!
i guess i have to try a few times before it will look the way i want it to.

btw. how did you manage that your second "skin" also show the structure of the plane?like rivets and cockpit interior?
if i open the skins they all look like a plain painting without the drawing lines.meaning it looks exactly as the first skin you posted.

The panel lines are a combination of two layers, the coloured skin, which I have cleaned up, and another layer that makes up the panels, I put them both in Gimp/Photoshop with the coloured one on top and then change the opacity of the coloured one to approximatly 85% so that the panel lines on the layer underneath comes through.

and where do you get the panel layer from?
