hi, my first ever FOX skin so go easy, but be honest. public of course if anyone thinks its good enough to use. any opinions/critisism welcome as always

Quote from Sneiter :

Is there a skin of a Minardi from season '97?

I don't know, but I did one of the '99 Minardi. Unfortunately it ended up looking like I loaded a shotgun with weird little Italian companies and blasted it, but that's their fault, not mine.

One of my first ever skins, for my team:

Sweet skin. I was thinking of doing that skin too but havent had the time yet. Great Job

My first skin... hope you like it!!

Apocalypsealexi: Saw you/that skin on the Redline racing server earlier today Looks pretty cool :P.

First Proper skin I've made. Bit basic but I like.

A little experiment I've been trying using layered textures in PSP to create metallic "metal flake" paints. Some of my latest ones have come out better, but I still like these. The black one is cool- kinda has a '70's Lotus "John Player Special" feel. Once I get the layering formula down (no pun intended):rolleyes: I'll post the merged layer files in a jpg format

look pretty good I think you need to make the metal flakes smaller (or just use a higher resolution) and maybe add in a gradient overlay to get a more metallic look though.

The black looks ok, he red seems a bit flakey as said above.
Also on the rear wing is the momo supopsed to be upside down?
Nice skins though, i feel i shoulud try and figoure out how do make metallic looking skins.

Umm unsure of the name, but proberly yea .

check in the 3d renders forum for help. Cool tutorial here: http://www.windos2k.com/home/download.php?view.30

or if you already have 3ds max you can download a scene from http://ds-autos.digiserv.net/scenes.php and cheat a little :P. Althrough they seem to be from patch q (old style steering wheel in the fox)

Had a quick rendering session with the scene from there:

This is my first proper go at making a skin which i did for the start of the vixen challenge

I hope you like it as it was a bit of a bugger to get right!

comments welcome

Getting the metallic flakes smaller was always my biggest problem- the textures in PSP only go so small, and I have to layer several of them at different angles to "randomize" them so there isn't a noticable pattern. I chose not to add a linear gradient because under dynamic lighting it might look a little strange.
Your tip worked really well, though- I didn't realize I could skin at higher res than 1024. Here's a FOX at 2048x2048

Glad I could help Here is a link to Master Skinnerz. Includes a great forum, LFS logos, and 2048 res skin kits. I'd suggest you sign up there and give the skin kits a try

Quote from Sneiter :

I think it looks great , but im looking for the '97 Minardi, with yellow, blue and white.

The 97 Minardi looks like a neat little skin to do. I'll mix that one up as soon as I'm finished with my '04 Minardi BF1 skin.

Your right about the MOMO logo. I originally intended for it to be seen from behind the car, but now I realize that because of the wing angle, you can't see it from there. I just turned it around, and it looks much better.

made a simple skin.

if u pick it, you can choose it in any colour you like

it suppost to look like the flag is getting ripped of tha hood

It's a private skin.

Starting to feel it now. Some of the curves on the minardi paint scheme just don't lend themselves to the curves of the F08, but I think that's pretty close to the base paint scheme.

Let me know what you think. Should be done by tomorrow evening.

Finished. Hope you enjoy!

Edit: posted wrong online file! corrected!

An old skin of mine, I've decided to upload

Here's a skin I made some time ago. It's Bruno Senna's Formula 3 car skin (from a few years ago).
