@nazca, I think you could make the "vf1 motorspoert" on the engine cover, horizontally. It kinda looks out of place now, imo.
I also noticed a wobbly line on the sidebox, but overall it's a very nice paint and well done.
Btw, where are your other skins? You have made only 1 post here.
@oscar, good but there are some alligning issues on the front-lefthander part. Also the rear (check attachment)
Further, you should check this out. It will make it look less toyish but more realistic and authentic (especially when using well know logos/decals)
Although, I think paint.net does have the option to do this. GIMP is very good alternative to PS and free.
I do see what you mean but getting the rear red section to fit the FO8 left me with an odd colour direction for the lines. So it may still be a little off but it may not be as bad as you think.
Never said bad or even thought The idea of the paint is to resemble the marlboro brand.
However, on a second thought, if you can't fix the stretching, mybe consider rearrange the logos... they often are very close to the edge of the shape; almost cut off.
haha... some of my posts are under darwinace, and i think my skin posts are under vf1-xj220
i left my account to a friend and i think he changed the password a while ago...
yea i think the VF1mOTORSPORTS on the side looks a bit weird, i'm not used to make it that big, i just follow a general sponsor rule where every single sponsor should be somewhat visible from every angle to maximize exposure, and that logo there follows a line that drops down on the cover past 1/3 of it... but then on the first segment is straight, that's why it looks weird..
i'm usually anal about all those things... thanks for bringing that to my attention, i must have been tired.
I usually "side" sponsor my cars with vf1motorsports, but on this one we were a major sponsor alonside with Rush, that's why the oversized logos
even tho it's by mistake, there's actually a technique in marketing where you put something out of place or misaligned to get the attention of people... because "it bothers you", you saw it and it's on your mind now
i'm going to release all my old desings... there's 20+... all very high quality 2048x2048 for those who like their cars to look shiny.
about that... do you guys think i should release the DDS?, i just thought of it, i think the game downsamples the jpegs to 1024... dds are big tho.
anyone willing to modify the designs is free to do so, just keep a vf1motorsports around and i'll be happy
I just had a look at the xj220 account and its quite nice; all with your name/number-plate and good attention to detail, indeed.
About the dds... i don't think it will be downscaled, but the compression might not be as good. I havn't really noticed any quality loss, but i barely open the game.exe these days xD
I know from test, i did myself, that lfsw skins suffer huge quality loss. While self-scaled is rather blurry, the downloaded are fugly-blocky.
Gav, it's pretty much the the default, indeed. I'm wondering if there is one that paints the clearance, but then again this skin part of a collection ; and future proof for a time in which LFS has real lighting - no shadow layer needed
