This is a complete paintkit to help you to create a livery from beginning with Blender and Photoshop.
This package contain everything you need to create a livery. The choosen softwares are Blender and Photoshop but you're free to use your own, however the tools given for other software are not provided.
In my experience it's not usefull to paint directly on Blender due to the lack of paint tools compared to dedicated softwares so i use it for marks and preview principaly.
You can find in the package the copy of the default white livery textures given with the iniBuilds A310.
You can find too PSD files to help you to create your livery with layers and export to PNG (for Blender preview) or DDS (for MSFS livery). To export and import DDS files, i recommand you to use NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter (work with AMD).
You can update Json files with a simple text editor but for MSFS you can automate the process by using this free tool : MSFSLayoutGenerator.
NOTICE: At this day, the devs of the A310 blend some flaps textures, so you can have left wing textures on the right wing. It's considered as a bug so it have been fixed on the Blender file but if you create an asymetric painting on wings, take it in consideration until the developpers have fixed. (see pictures)
This package contain :
- A blender model for the iniBuilds A310 with associated textures for render/preview and layered objects for easy editing and render.
- PSD files for textures editing with preimported DDS textures from default white livery.
- A livery addon template with preview textures for creating your own livery afterwards.

Very good, tho I wish there were already wireframes in the .PSD, as generating them is a bit lengthy

Hi, thanks for your comment.
What do you mean by "wireframe"? You talk about UV Maps layers?

Wish I could get my head around painting in blender, it just looks so confusing though, loaded it up and ive just got a black model

Maybe you should follow Blender tutorials (about texture painting tools).
I recommend that you use Photoshop or similar external editing software in addition to take advantage of the powerful texture editing tools rather than just using the Blender texture painting tools.
