I have tried a few things to remove the dirt visuals from my cars. tbh I don't mind then getting dirty but the speed at which they aquire dirt is far too quick. And I am getting sick of cleaning every 10 mins.

So question is does anyone know how I can slow down the process. That would be ideal. But I know it's prob' easier to explain to me how to make a no dirt texture.

I have tried exporting the image and messing with the texture but that just gives the car that grey / transparent effect.

Pretty sure replaceing with some kind of transparent layer is the way to go just not sure what the process is.

I am using gimp but whatever works in photoshop will also work on gimp so any help would be cool. TY.

Just had a thought. Does something like openIV let you remove the texture comepletely ? and if so does that have any major side effect ?

Omg it's as simple as changing a flag in .ide :) Will try that..... Looks like I was over thinking the problem :)

thanks very much, that will save me a lot of time.

Molten, btw thats only half of it. What you need is to replace all the dirt textures with a clear transparent layer like this

Now you are done.

Thanks for you input and effort but in the end changing the flag in the .ide seems to have had the desired effect on the couple of cars I wanted to change.

But anyway thx for the effort.

Edit: I have saved the image anyway in case I need it in future ;)
