Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with Armored Core 6, right? And let me tell you, the customization is insane. But I wanted to take it up a notch. I wanted my AC to look like a freaking Gundam. So, I started looking into decals, and that’s where the real fun began.
First things first, I had to find some decent Gundam decals. I spent a good chunk of time browsing around, looking for stuff that would fit the vibe I was going for. You know, something that would make my AC look like it just rolled out of a Mobile Suit factory. I was mostly searching for emblems like EFSF and Zeon.
After I got a bunch of decals, I jumped into the game’s Image Editor. Now, I’m no artist, but I was determined to make this work. I started by picking an AC part, and then slapping on the decals I downloaded. It was a lot of trial and error, resizing, rotating, and repositioning until it looked somewhat decent.
The tricky part was layering. I had to figure out the right order to place the decals so they wouldn’t overlap weirdly. Some parts were definitely harder than others. Like, getting a decal to wrap around a curved surface without looking all distorted? Man, that was a pain. I used up a bunch of my decal slots really quickly, since I was just putting stuff everywhere to see what stuck.
My Key Steps
- Finding Decals: This took a while. I looked for images that were iconic, and also something that I could find with transparent backgrounds.
- Importing: This was straightforward, just selecting the image and plopping it on.
- Adjusting: This is where most of the time was spent. Resizing, rotating, moving around, all that jazz.
- Layering: Had to figure out which decal goes on top of which. That took a bit of experimenting to get right.
- Matching Colors: Adjusting the colors of the AC parts to match the decal colors was also crucial for that seamless look.
Honestly, it took way longer than I expected. But, seeing my AC finally decked out like a Gundam was super satisfying. I felt like a real mech designer, even though I was mostly just fiddling with pre-made images. And let me say, fighting with a Gundam-inspired AC? It just hits different.
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure with Armored Core 6 and Gundam decals. It was a fun, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately rewarding experience. If you’re into mechs and customization, I definitely recommend giving it a shot. Just be prepared to spend a lot of time tweaking things to perfection!
