Weathering + Color Modulation

Posted by Iain Hamilton on Monday, March 28, 2011 5:28 PM

For those who may be abit afraid of jumping into color modulation or unsure how the effect will look under subsequent weathering....
Here are few pics. of a Panther that has been base coated in this way and only weathered on the Glacis plate.

You can see how the base color has been toned down by a little weathering. The extreme color shift is toned down and leaves an interesting finish. I hope you guys like the effect.

More tutorial, please. I'm feeling my way through this technique via trial and error. I don't want my vehicles too grundged out, but I don't want them looking too pristine either.

Nice start on that Panther II. Look forward to more. Yes

Color modulation is kind of the sexy weathering du jour. It's extremely effective when done properly. I like it, but haven't attempted it yet.

Yes, more tutorial.

Agreed with the calls for more tutorial. Also, the unweathered Panther looks like a primitive CG model...crazy!
