Metalic Colours to bling up your heli

[theglennster]

Just been playing about in RMK and found a good way of blinging up a model. I have just downloaded the Synergy N9 but the stock colours seems a bit bland for an awesome 3D heli so I got to work reskinning the Canopy but something was missing it had no life so I played about with the specular highlight colours and mixed in a different colour and you get a realy cool metallic effect. Check it out :YeaBaby: it looks even better in flight give it a go. LUSHHH.

Mmm weird this Catfight I've tried on AJK's 600 fleet and it doesn't work :thinking all the canopies are matt in appearance and I cant figure out why ? I must be missing something here. I dont know if AJK can shed any light on the situation.:wink:

The Synergy I modified works a treat the canopy area has separate faces to the body so you can have contrasting metallics its looks wicked in flight. Why don't Reflex do a proper job of this program and document RMK it would save hours of grief ? they seem to have done half a job here.

By the way I forgot to mention the red circled area in my image are the values you change the first three are RGB (red green blue) the final 4th buttons adjust the global highlight brightness.

Hi chaps, I've had a go at this and it is possible to change the specular on my editions of the 600 models, all you do is click on the surface and note the colour number ie, C33 is used for the red canopy then click the colour tab and find C33 and highlight it then change the specular settings and you will see just like magic it changes, you may have to change other colour numbers cos i noticed say on the white canopy there are multiple colour numbers used, just click on the surface and note the colour number used again then modify that colour. this is a pretty neat feature for sprucing up those dull dulll bleedin dull canopies. :thumbup:
