Happy skinning.

Banshee posted a mask, which i have been using too =), Its very easy to use and its very good for skinning.

My new skin showing some pride.

Quote from Joris :

These are original. I took the colour samples from VW's website.

these are not skins.

why not just copy the rgb values and later apply it in the game.

Quote from LFSn00b :

Err... You can't apply the colors by RGB value/number in LFS

you can, you just have to do some basic maths, i tried and it works.

still wip

Quote from Luke.S :

Not much work but i did the car in all the factory colours. Oh and the studie R in some colours. As i said 5 min jobs at best.

Not much use if I may point to Scawens post in the Scirocco thread: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1004316#post1004316

meh oh well.

Quote from MiniVan :

is there any free programs that are easy to use to make skins.

Paint.NET is the easiest to use. you can get lots of plugins in their forum as well.

im having a problem with the layers in CS3. im using the pro kit to. the side layers like wont allow you to use the whole side just part of it. just cant get the stuff to work right like the other skins. dunno

A quick PlayStation skin i made in GIMP, best skin i've done i think.

Quote from Racer556 :

a quickie!
It looks nice ingame, tho the skin itself doesn't :P

And the first ugly skin for VWS goes to...

Riders, I know it looks like s**t it self.
But look at this pic ingame, and you'll see it doens't look as you might think.
If this is ugly to you, then plain cars are ugly too! so I expect an apologise

What's the difference between your skin and the white blank skin?

that it actually looks somewhat silverish
I'll do a comparison, hang on.

edit: here it is! Even thought is quite subtle, it's noticeable, and I kinda like it. It's not ugly at all, as Riders said (:razz. Just a subtle efect to it.
I'm comparing the same gray overlay, not just a darker one telling you just because.
C'mon, he does not deserved being called "ugly"

Oh btw, if you haven't seen the skin itself, it looks ridiculous xD but the effect was added on the hatch, the hood and the top too..

Arctic Silver is more a precise term.

Subtle changes are the best, my skin uses a very slightly off white which looks better than just white.
