It cant be only noise you added to get that mettalic look, right ?.
Especially the colour you call Arancio Atlas looks mind blowing.

I always like a mettalic effetct but keep struggling to get it right. This is spot on. You are sure only noise you added ??

Please unlighten the secret to us

i like it but i w8 mby somebody make better but perfect if nr16 smaller like wtcc or wrc cars.. and up number lfslogo

OMG your a piece of work. This is rude man. He made the skin for ya. You didnt gave any specifics about how it must be.

Do you have AA setup ?. By the looks of the white bit with Tissot it looks jaggy.

Again nice work.

I like tha 3d model. Superb. Saves you alttab to LFS viewer.
Great piece of work.

I like the dots, very well done. That must be a pain in the a.se !!!.
That looks nice, not so keen on that watch on top. I know it is the livery of the sauber. That never looked good on the sauber aswell.

Good job abyway waiting for the end result.

FO8 based on Arrows A23 as a private request by EliteAti.

Nice lines in it. Flows nicely with the car

I like it, but why not some bigger screen shots. They viewer shots are rather small.

you made sense, but when putting decals on the back and front, they appear like it would still stretch, and look like it stretches even more from putting it back to origional size and squishing it i use 2560X2048

That isnt stretching thats wrapping of the car. The car shape is shown by the wireframe. When you sqeeze it always keep the same proprtion. I mean width and height all the same. For instances when rescalling a decal to fit a bodypart of the car resclae height to 10% but also width to 10%. Try text or decal layers to shape the way of the car. Bend it etcetra. Like I said earlier skinning isnt done in a day. Get to known photoshop, or Gimp. Try things within the program.

Best way is to resize the psd to 2560x2048 or like some of us do 5120x4096. You dont have to rescale and think about the proportion. When U use the mentioned size you can rescale normally. Like from 100% to 50%.

LFS stretced the car ingame. By using that size you get very close to the size LFS is using it.
When finished rescale back to 2048x2048 offcourse, but thats common sense.

Hope I made some sense

OMG that bodykit is awesome. So much details in it. Defitnly a masterpiece.

i did not modify anybodys skin and i made one decent skin (once) and it is my own personal XRT skin (it is alrite in my opinion) is it bad for my 3rd real attempt at a skin?

Quote from nwug :

pleas dont ever edit a car skin again

Oke my fault, nwug said to you , Stop editing skins. I took that the wrong way. So my fault, I apologize for that.

But at least you took the advice serious enough. I never said your skins are bad but I said they could be better when you use the proper (highres) decals and stuff. Skinnng isnt gonna learned in a day. Its a slow process but a fun process.

Had a peak at it last night. Like Bean0 said it just plain doesnt work.

Cheers Ati, yours are coming along aswell. This was a quick sidestep which i couldnt resist.

Oke done : Klik

I had to replace 2 decals which I couldnt find. Hope its to your liking.

Skin made by request.





remove -1024 before uploading to LFSworld.

On it

Nice write up and video.

Quote from logitekg25 :

may not be good, but meh

As it seems you edit someone skin, hope you asked permission for it.
Now when you skin use viewer to see if anydecals looks good or are highres enough. I see decals which arent high res.

Try to improve every time you skin, read tutorials etctera. And finnaly when you do podt think of it at first. Is this the skin I would like to see public and used by i dont know how many? This skin will not be used very often due to misplaced decals and low res decals. I am not saying you wont put any effort in it but I think you can do better then this.

Ah I see what you mean now Lynce. I had a long term blackout during the weekend I guess . That looks nice, I am being a git.

AGreed on that Lynce but I think you mis understood me. To show what I mean I edit your picies abit. Hope ya dont mind

Look at the way now the black curves with the shape of the car and curves with the diffusor.

Classic stuff Lynch, the lighting/reflection is spot one.

Not sure about the diffuser`s, they look awesome put it looks like there put on. I mean they dont follow the bottom line of the car, it doesnt flow with the car. If it follows the line of the car more, I think it would look more realistic. If you see what I mean.

Isnt to judge you, youre the master of this but since you want to make the best out there I thought I give you a pointer.

AHHHHHHHHH totally forgot about the race. I apologize, was taking out by friends too watch a movie. latest Harry Potter. Wast of time too be honest. However I totally forgot about the race even though I got a pm yesterday about the format and stuff.

Again sorry guys I was looking forward to a FOX race

Well thats good news for once. NOt a team that decided to stop after the 5 years but goes on. Always have a good race with you guys, nice clean and fair. Always willing to help. Thats the true LFS sirit in mine point of view. I remember when CTRAX needed to be tested and I was on off them. I spend a lot of time with the Sparkster . What a nice guy that is. He still is though and he respresent your team in a very good manor. Well you all do to be honest. keep it up guys Gongratz !!!!!
