are you really from england and is it too much for you to link to an image? a quick googling brings up many different pain-jobs.

PS: As an advice get knowledge about punctuation. people might take you more seriously ^^

THERE the LUX Racing Team Skins download an comment http://picasaweb.google.fr/fab ... Skins#5428476673032126578

You made that skin?

alright.. I don't do mechanical tuning, but painting, wich includes vinyls.

So here you go... 2 versions

Quote from lukasauno :

I made skin in 2560x2048 rez skin file in order for anti-stretch compensation and then resized them back to 2048x2048

well check this out then. Are you a Design Dude?

Different parts on a skin need to be squeezed differently.

Quote from lukasauno :

Decals looks stretched only in skin file, In game they look like they need to look, if you don't know it's called anti-stretch compensation method then on skin file you put decals with 100x80 scale so in game they look 100x100

They look perfectly fine on the skinfile. What game do you made this for?

In LFS-game they are stretched!

PS: check the presentation pic ORC-logo with the one on the Skin. If you don't know, here is the Skin Viwer. This is how it looks in-game too. http://www.lfs.net/file_mirror.php?name=LFS_VIEWER_6A.exe

Quote from tinky winky :

yeah apparently we aren't allowed to do that anymore Gonzo.

mate, its about posting a row of screenshot for "private" skins. ( whatever that meant for the ones of your trip in the XR thread) You actually didn't get it , huh?

It's about Skins here... not Screenshots with IMG-Tags.

Attachments do a great job too!

Awesome Renders! But the skin has its fault. Logos on the rear are badly placed and overall they are stretched wich gives the whole car a toy-ish Look! :/.

Is that a fuel adapter on the rear? Are they oval-shaped nowadays ??

ok, so i made 2 versions (difference on front paint) and I had to adjust the logos a bit.

Like it like this or should i change?

I'm not sure if i understand this right...

You want the colored stripes onto the base model?

Sick, i guess, is the right word. Looks very nice already!

yea, well.. not everybody is a fan of rubber

Anyway, I got around to recheck them all using screenshots with "direct view" and the following had to be updated :
BF1_65-60, 62-60, 62-58
FZ_65-60, 85-90, 75-73 (5tag, the difference between top and side got even bigger o.o)
LX_ 70-62, 85-82
RB_ 80-85, 00-90, 70-64
XR_70-67, 00-90, 85-87
FX_70-65
XF_80-83

If i not totally mixed anything up, it should be pretty accurate now.

I also added the lost RAC and the VWS

Quote from voight kampff :

I am confused and thinking of finding another game online with friendly drivers.

Any ideas?

Don't give up just yet. There is an quite major patch on the way (sooner or later) with an reworked and advanced tiremodelling and might bring some more mature drivers back, i guess. Some people ATM really are very self focused and act like they are racin AI's in Race Driver:Grid (or whatever)

Maybe you can join a league and practise these tracks they run.

Hi,

Good job , but i think i know why it looks a bit empty. There's these 2 lines around the martini logo on the original car. Maybe this would balance a bit.

Quote from 5tag :

View the file in CMX Viewer and note both "Djarum Black" logos at the end of the car. They appear not to be distorted on the surface.

You will however note that I had to actually distort them on the skin file to achieve this.

5tag, isn't that what Gunn says? (Thx for the feedback BTW, Gunn)

There are alot of spaces like the FZ Door-window-part on the 'top layer' wich gets pretty wierdly stretched... Or the rear-part on the 'side layer' where you actually have to make a logo a bit of a rhomboid to appear like a sticker on the actual car. Basically everywhere, where the carshapes are curved it needs special attention.
I've split the sidebox of the F08 in my templates, for example, in two parts, because of its shape. (hope you get what i mean, im always bad at explaining things)

PS: somewhere a line needs to be draw. I could imagine that with all the differences on different parts, sometime someone says F. it... its too much of a hassle.

PPS: made a note in 1st post.

PPPS: 5tag, now im thinking a bit clearer then the other day... how would you measure the stretchin in you wireframe method. PM me.

hehehe

no let it... its a mistake and wil be fixed anyway, hopefuly.

And YES!!!111
I knew its the beginning of the week. Everything like i planned

you are killing me, man. I don't know about your method to find the value using wireframe. It might hide errors too, simply because of the thikness of the strings.
Anyway, appreciate your feedback (just wished you had Pm'ed me in first place).

I started this as a guide but now we can as well make it kinda perfect. Im tempted to spam the devs to know the exact value.

I'll get on it on the weekend.. cant focus now and will be away for 2-3 days, depending on what day is right now.

wow... well then **** this thread ^^But thx for feedback. At least i was close... i even dare to say the circle on the side a bit smaller in your pic and centred it would work.

What value would you suggest then? Should only be 2-3 % off?

PS: if you're bored would you check them all? ATM im a bit fed up with this. If not i'll check again using your method. I just checked by 'eye'

oh come on... you fail to see the point. no one is stepping on your toes. Try to see the overall "picture" Why so many pics just to show off (no reply needed i guess i know and i dont feel like arguing over you guys Ego.)

Yes, I noticed that too 5tag, its for every car like this. The top layer and the right side line up.

But still, a circle on the top layer is stretched when not sized down with the amount i marked. How that works.. I have no idea.

Edit: to answer your question: there was no re-re-re-sizing or something. All spots made out of a perfect cycle, using selection circle tool with fixed aspect ratio, and only squeezed 1-Time. Would be pointless otherwise xD Feel free to make a test yourself. If im wrong i'd like to know!

Edit2: thinking again about it. I guess it could come due to the curvin of the top layer. The diff. is 20 on the FZ but 15 on the XR and FX. Wich leads me to revisit the FOX again, since the nose falls down heavily (if you know what im mean) and I did not marked the end of the nose. Will fix that soon. (Edit: fixed the upper wingblades and nose-end wich indeed has a diff. value.)

Quote from jrd.racer :

Can someone explain this stretching thingy to me please?

on a side note: make copy on these files as a jpg and check it in the viewer. The result should be that all circles you see, on spots where usually logos are placed, are perfectly round on the actual car.

Quote from Drift1r :

dude....
its XR skins ALL
hmm, does ALL mean for all mods?? NO!
i means ALL private and public.

if you come to this thread then expect to get privates and publics, you'll have to sort thru the skins yourself.

huh?? what's your problem? I didn't mention mods nor did i say I want 'your' private skins... And sorting through it is exactly the problem for everyone, since you need to scroll forever and it just sucks.

Many quality skins lying around not used. DO YOU THINK THATS FAIR ?

Quote from Deedilus :

Seriously? There are people from other countries that barely speak English that have better grammar/spelling in all of their posts.

By the way, it was pretty idiotic and low saying that if you tried to explain the problem it would just go over everyone's "stupid" brains when they were just trying to help. You are right though, we probably would have not understood it because we wouldn't have been able to decipher and translate the garble of text that you would have spat out into the post.

Thanks for giving the rest of us a bad name. :doh:

Don't mean to flame, but that ticked me off.

You just saved the US's name!
