Maybe get a UPS one going too.  "What can Brown do for you...in space?"

[Zacam]

Or a FdEx. Only, since it's all futuristic, might as well call it what it really is: FedUp.

So what you put on the side?  You know how thay all have an animal or something on the side and some information about it.  A big picture of a Shivan?

This thread, I love it as much now as I did then, can we have the same for the latest mediavp version @ author of latest asset 😁😜😜

[Nyctaeus]

No.

I will not make dozens of variations of cargo container, but brown and yellow parts of texture behave like PBR paint. I guess the color doesn't matter at all, so if somebody recolor/repaint just the albedo, the rest should work. I can export UV layout or even alpha masks for this parts if anybody want to make some reskin.

Could team colors help there? (Not that I see much use, just a thought)

I meant can you share the texture source so the community can create a variety of new boxes?

My source files comes from licensed soft and currently there is no other soft capable of editing .spp files. For Axem, Scooby and other potential users of SP, editing would be easy as breathing but I guess majority of the community does not have SP for obvious reasons.

So I guess the best I can do is splitting my files into layers editable in Photoshop or any other 2D soft. I will do it when I'm done with some other stuff.

Hot take: I haven't seen these cargo variants until this thread was bumped. The effort seems not worth it.

[Colonol Dekker]

That's fair enough,  I didn't realise there wasnt a psd / equivalent knocking about. 👍👍

I miss my Triton Dynamics container.

I agree with the notion.

However sometimes it might be neccessary for the visual story telling purposes to make some containers identifiable, or for gameplay purposes (DON'T SHOOT RED BARRELS!) - and then you have different economics.

Yeah, maybe I should post links to old threads more often.

Like I tell people when I'm giving an unexploded ordnance awareness brief at work,  "just because it's older doesn't make it safer"

You're EOD? Jeebus, that must be a miserable job...but at least you have the consolation of knowing that if you make a mistake, it won't hurt for very long....

[Colonol Dekker]

I was EOD (16th Air assault brigade counter IED task force brimstone) for 14 years and loved it, now I'm a technical UXO specialist and consultant (which is why my Facebook friends will note me appearing all over the UK in the space of a week) 😜

But I've held true that if anything goes wrong in my line of work, it's ALWAYS better to be right on top of "it" (whatever "it" may be) rather than in the immediate area.  Obviously best case is nothing happening,  but then I'd be out of a job. 

On topic,

Is there no way a classically (pre 2012mvp format) trained modder can editify the cargo container texture into a template style format?

[Nightmare]

I think that's extremely difficult for PBR maps due to the different behavior of the -reflect maps, which have to relate to the main map but setting that up in a quality way usually requires special software to setup.
