[Tutorial] One of the GOOD ways to make Gold Skins ;)

[AdolfoSosa]

Although I can't save textures I do know how to make them. So if I can't be useful by giving customs skins and such to the community then tutorials should be good enough =D
So now we start the tut:
Open your texture:


Applt Image to a new layer(Image>Apply Image). Then go to Hue And Saturation (Ctrl+Alt+U) and put the following settings:


Now Backup that layer(Duplicate it) and hide it. Now erase (E) all the wood parts that shouldn't be gold.(Lower the opacity to know which of them are wood) I recommend using a Hard Round brush.:


Now apply a black to white gradient map. In the box where it says "Normal" change it to "Color Dodge"


Now to apply a more "goldly" look to it apply a yellow photo filter:


Forgot to put this step, put a hue saturation that is a bright yellow(Not like the first one) so when you play with the texture it doesn't seem like rust.
There you go! Make all the gold textures you can =D

Lol idk why but my photoshop doesn't work like yours :/ hue only changes a few areas, not the image >.<

Next make a tutorial how to make blue silver weapons , you know the skin for the m16 that they made ^^ i like it.

[AdolfoSosa]

If you wish you can see my thread with custom textures. There is a silver Model 1887. Tell me if you want something like that.

They had a blue silver m16 that was sexxxxy. Where might I find this thread of yours?

Adolfo you may get more viewers if put a pic of the weapon in the game because now the only thing we see is the weapon without any backgroung.....

there's more than 1 file to edit a gun to give it that "gold" feeling...

[obsessed]

Yeah you have to edit the file in iw_11 or w/e i believe

Indeed, but if you read his post it said he can't save it.
