Now that we have our texture templates, it's time to begin filling them in. This is the part that requires a bit of artistic sense, and since I have very little of this, I can only give you very basic pointers about the mechanics of this operation. I will tell you that detailed photographs of the subject you are trying to recreate will be very helpful in this area. Also, this color chart at 3DTrains will help you in painting your locomotive in the colors you desire.
| 304. In the imaging program that you are using, create a texture that is the same size (should be 1024x1024) as the template you wish to fill in. Give the template a color that is similar but not quite the same as the main body color. You will notice in some of my photographs that I made my background color the same as primer paint. This is a bad idea, as it is much brighter than the locomotive, and if you don't get your applications just right, you will have brightly colored gaps at the seams of your parts. |  |
