Tail logos

[charred thistle]

It'd be nice if we had an option to just insert a logo onto the tail instead of making an entire livery for it.

Easy for smaller airlines without many livery makers to at least advertise or fly a plane with their symbol

Tail logos

[slender shard]

what?

[wary tinsel]

actually could be nice for people that don't want to make a whole livery or don't know how

i approve

[slender shard]

i dont understand

[wary tinsel]

instead of uploading texture for the whole aircraft

upload decal to just the tail

[slender shard]

i think this would be better if it automatically added the name of the airline too

it would be weird without the name

[wary tinsel]

true

however the problem is that this would require adding actual physical parts to put the decals and/or text guis on, which entails editing the model

[charred thistle]

that's me lol

[charred thistle]

just the tail of the plane?

[wary tinsel]

yes

[charred thistle]

it's much simpler than an entire UV

for the whole plane

[wary tinsel]

are you saying upload a square/round decal to the tail or UV texture only the tail

[tranquil lodge]

Errr

If you can make a tail uv then creating a whole livery is not harder at all

[spring bane]

just make a livery

where its just a tail logo and then nothing on the plane

[wary tinsel]

yea
and also that would still entail redoing the UV which is an inedvidual effort for every plane

[wary tinsel]

everything else becomes grey then

[tranquil lodge]

Needs additional context here

Is it a decal like normal uv

[spring bane]

could just be a single color

[tranquil lodge]

Or an ingame thing where you can slap texts or something

[wary tinsel]

transparent parts on a decal don't become transparent on the plane
any colored parts of the plane will become grey

[tranquil lodge]

If it's a decal then

Just make a normal livery

[wary tinsel]

idk why that's the way it is because adding a texture should not change the color of a meshpart

if it's just a round or square decal then that's much more doable and less time consuming for the devs, but still becomes an inedvidual plane issue where every single one they want to do that with would require maintainance

[midnight copper]

wait cant you just slap a white background or whatnot (or even a detail kit) on the UV, put the tail logo and be done with it

[quaint eagle]

[woven lynx]

Basically neo warfare X livery system

[charred thistle]

holy shit everyone really does hate something that brings literally no fucking harm

[charred thistle]

also seen in games like Airplane or Cabin Crew sim

[spring bane]

?

just saying "no this isnt a good idea" isnt hating

this is just pointless

[charred thistle]

how is this pointless

[spring bane]

"brings literally no fucking harm" the devs now having to do extra work per plane:

[spring bane]

just make a livery

[charred thistle]

[spring bane]

its not that hard

[charred thistle]

fair enough ig

[charred thistle]

as said before it DOESNT WORK

the original plane paint is already pretty nice

but if I were to wanna add just a tail logo the rest of the plane would be BLANK

[spring bane]

what original plane paint

most of the new planes are just 1 color

[charred thistle]

the original paint pattern

[spring bane]

and on the old models the uv has the paint pattern and you can just trace it

[spring bane]

then make a livery

that isnt just the tail logo

[charred thistle]

for example this

the boom overture's paint pattern already looks epic

[spring bane]

then just make a livery with the same paint pattern

[charred thistle]

how

[spring bane]

just look at it

eyeball it

[charred thistle]

oh alright I see what ur saying

[spring bane]

that paint pattern is just different parts being in different colors

[charred thistle]

Im tryna find a photo

uhh

nvm

[quaint eagle]

well

[charred thistle]

I was just wondering what abt the more complex patterns

[quaint eagle]

liveries are a tricky thing

[charred thistle]

like an SD MBR

[charred thistle]

I mean yeah

[quaint eagle]

because of roblox they dont do transparency well, so you would quite literally have to make the entire thing over in the uv map

[spring bane]

that one doesnt even have a uv

[charred thistle]

mhm

which is why at least a tail logo would be nice lol

[spring bane]

ig

but then youll have to go back to a lot of old models and add the feature

[charred thistle]

ik thats why Im suggesting this lol

[spring bane]

time that could be spent actually remodelling planes

[charred thistle]

yeah true

it's just not worth the time ig

that what you saying?

[spring bane]

yeh

[charred thistle]

oki

I see how it is

welp hopefully this'll come in a future day then

[woven lynx]

Kinda no point since uvs

[charred thistle]

ya

[woven lynx]

Even neo is gonna be moving to uvs

In their successor

[charred thistle]

I see

time to start making proper liveries ig

no more shortcuts

[spring token]

it brings harm to the 3d devs

makes their life more complicated by adding an additional part

not only that, but you're not gonna like whats given to you; no full control of what you want to see

can you really replicate the TAP logo?

no cuz ur restricted to where that part is located only

best u can do only is the circular logos like lufthansa

[obsidian vine]

bro didn't know adv livery system does this job 100x better in every way

[ornate shell]

No plans for this unfortunately, the livery system we have allows you to do this and much more
If you really just want to have a tail logo for whatever reason, you can just paint that and leave everything else white

[charred thistle]

alrighty kiddo

[charred thistle]

yeah Hyper's explained already

I'm 18

[charred thistle]

hey that's me

I'm the egghead 😠

[fluid osprey]

PORTUGAL MENTIONED 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 🇵🇹

[gray mulch]

skill issue

[rustic locust]

yk Rice makes his Gen 2 UV kits with separate tails right?

you can just download a detail kit (or a plain UV kit), crop to a 1:1 aspect ratio all the way to the right & just start slapping some PNGs

[charred thistle]

I'm hereby making my first ever livery

completely independent

Ill make it public once done just so see how shitty everyone thinks of it lol

hopefully not too bad

[charred thistle]

ok wtf it turned out so goofy 😭

[slender shard]

The green is too bright

And there’s not any patterns other than a gradient

Just some improvements and damn will sure will look good

[charred thistle]

There used to be but the hypermach's wings covered the entire fucking rear pattern of the plane 😭

So it was split in half along the side

So may as well just delete it (which I did)

[charred thistle]

yeah this'll do I think

it's my first liv anyway I might as well focus on other shit

doesn't have to be perfect
