i changed some small details (the turbo logo) and i think i should finish it as it is now... no more decals to add i think... less is more... 2-3 days i'll upload it if someone wants a 2048x2048 version? hmm..

i did an example screenshot (see attachments). the white lines are no problem because they are "in line" in the skin... but the yellow ones are not. this i want to be automated (if possible, so how do i do that?).

isn't there a smarter solution? because saving and viewing in cmx viewer is very time-consuming...
i imagine for example to define a "virtual centerline" for the two side skins and roof, so if i paint on the one side it mirrors it and paints the same on the other side... this should be possible with photoshop?

yes and that is i dont want! resize is ok because that would be difficult... here's an example, i'm looking for a function that can align my lines or stripes etc. automatically... this example from me is simple (see attachment) but what, if i want to make stripes from left door over top to the right door in ONE line WITHOUT manual alignment (just automatically by some photoshop tools/tricks)...

hmm no i meant how can i do - let's say some exact lines from front spoiler over the side doors, top to the back down to the rear bumper without any clipping or offset... hmm how should i explain... one continous line over two or three layers that are not in the same alignment...
another example.. those two white viper stripes... one line from front to the back, but how do i do that exactly! in photoshop with the lfs skins?
the upper part is no problem, just make 2 lines through the whole thing...
but how do i place them on the wings below exactly! and on the rear bumper?
lets take XRT skin for example...

hi skinners,
how do i use the reference points or define any? there are some templates from master skinnerz out there in the web and there are those little squares (reference points?) to get the coloring in sync even if i draw 90° turned from spoiler to right/left side... but how do i manage this? are there any tutorials out there for this?

regards

hi there
i'm just working on a jaegermeister skin (favourite drink in germany and also often seen racing cars in 70/80s touring car series)
this is my second skin i've done from scratch, using the photoshop kit from master skinnerz (thx to them!) and i got no more inspirations on what decals i should ad to it now... on the rear end there are good year logo above the license plate and jaegermeister on the bumper.

maybe you'll have a look and comments are welcome

regards
DrFred

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :

whats up guys, im missing some new sounds!
especially:

XFG

....

for those cars are not much sounds available, cmon create some cool ones as u did for the other cars!

there you go, i did some new XFG sound, because the others were too much humming and droning...
nice at higher revs and high speed courses too, i think those little cars should sound like small-engined, and not like a big block mustang
