This discussion is getting too primitive...

BTW: Paint isnt a good program for saving screenshots. Paint in general is not a good program to work with. It should be replaced in future Windows Versions with a modern Graphics software.

Quote from schwantz34 :all kind of tips..

and i'm bussy with deleting all my normal posts in all threads and only let my skin files there..

:faint: ^^

Your skins look like you have printed out a default skin and painted it with felt pens. Then you scanned them and call them a skin. I dont mean this as a offence, but they just dont look good. Learn how to skin with the right techniques. Here are enough links and tutorials.

Quote from ACCAkut :Lets all write LFS songs

No race today, my wheel has gone away,
The throttle broke apart; my heel-toeing was too hard
No race today, in the middle of a fight
But people passing by don’t know the reason why
...

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why... sing

maybe not in LFS. But a huge render in 3dsmax could show us some more...
We need somebody with the full version of the Bigrender Plugin... makes it possible to render more than 6000*6000 pixels output size...

Here you can learn the basics in making skins in LFS.
Photoshop is a professional graphics software. You can do everything with it. No limits.

The textures (lights,interiour) are in a different format in LFS. They are not part of the skin (the body). What you mean (I guess the reflections) are made by the LFS Graphics engine.

Tip: Dont choose full tone RGB colors in Photoshop for your skin, the skin will look a bit comic-like when you do so. Better: Less saturation for an realistic look.

Quote from ben_kennedy :

I do have one other question though. To view my skin in the viewer do I just save to my normal LFS skins folder? Or do i have to save to a folder in my 'cmx viewer folder'. Thanks

Get the cmx viewer here: http://www.lfs.net/?page=addons

Work with master skinnerz pro kits: http://www.lfs-gear.com/kitz.html

Inside the folder of the cmx viewer there is a subfolder "data" and in there is a subfolder "skins". I copy my jpg skin file there. (Dont forget saving the phtoshop file (*.psd) from time to time) Open the cmx viewer choose the car and open the skin file.

And everything should be nice.

what exactly do you expect us to do=?

Save the skin open it in cmx viewer and it looks like it is ingame.
Do you mean a metallic paint effect?

no. it has something to to with an admin, who decides what skins are good enough for getting featured.

Featured skins should provide high quality. So the allmighty admin watches the skin in the viewer, looking for errors, the design and the effort the author have put in his work. Not an easy job.

janwolf is atm really busy with the work on this site. We have lots of ideas to put in this page. I wont talk too loud abot what is planned but there will be an second preview image (neutral cmx shot), a skin garage where every author can present their skins, a better integration of the featured skins story and of course an better english. If you see mistakes or if you have suggestions for the site please post them here:

Quote from Rish :I saw those in the AI skinpack! i thought they looked very similar, in fact i had to double check that it wasnt the lotus skin! It just wont go spot on but it seemed a shame to leave it sat on my hd!

Well, its a pity somebody was quicker than you...

Some parts of the skin could be more clean. I tried myself making that Lotus Design but I retired and made something else out of it. Its impossible to get the Lotus 2 eleven look. Heres what I made with it. Download some pages ago.

Quote from only.one.RydeR :Can you convert this to XRT? Because renaming the file sucks.

No. That would mean that I had to repaint the whole body. No way. Cost me hours.
Btw: editing is not allowed. Not even renaming the file.
