Hi mapcore,
So I made a custom paint job, and I have on my factory new p90 some grey spot, like it's already well-worn, it uses the Valve's alpha channel, cause I don't add an alpha channel to make it works.
Why? cause when I make a really good one, it never works, it looks really nice when it's factory new, but when I look at "battle scarred" the paint is still perfectly applied and just some dust is added to the custom paint. it doesn't work well.
Even if I use an alpha channel almost black or grey or almost white. Always the same problem. Too black, battle-scarred looks factory new, Too white, everything looks dirty but the paint is still applied perfectly, I mean the paint doesn't come off.
Your help will be appreciated. Thanks using valve's alpha channel, look at the handle = some grey spots !!!. , BUT it works using my own alpha channel, factory new looks new, but battle-scarred looks dirty not old like it supposed to be alpha layer 1,alpha layer 2 tl;dr: using valve's alpha channel, factory new looks worn ; using my own alpha channel, battle-scarred looks dirty but not old.
