IMPORTANT: The winner will be rewarded with a Live for Speed Polo-shirt from the LFS Shop.

Here are the facts:

2. Clearly recognizable in the mirror /or from the distance.
3. Detailed when you watch closely /(Professional touch)/shall be a pleasure to look at!
4. Looks like a beast, ready to kill. / Only lines or non-figurative elements are welcome.

Please bear in mind that the winner will be asked to make a complete skin set for all cars in the style of the winning skin!

We hope to get a lot of replies.

Good Luck

inferno, why did you have to come here

Ive seen some of the skins on your site and some of them are awsome, make them yourself lol.

Only joking. Although i would make one if i could. Good luck everyone

I'm joining the competition, I try to.

Would be great if we can have a vectorial edition of the Inferno's logo. It's quiet low res and hard to use

One other thing: Does somebody know the good ratio of height/wheight to use for the FZ5? 2048*2048 is not real good, the sideways decal are a bit scaled when rendering ingame.


Edit: Some work done, check out There (bottome of the page) !

Looks great Cayenne, but I think it should say 'World's Best Setups' on the front, not 'Best Worlds Setups'

Try 2560x2048. This works fairly well on the doors, but unneccesarily scales the bonnet too. These days I just tend to scale the width of the individual objects I place on the sides to 80% width using Free Transform in Photoshop.

Yep I do similar, I just scale it as best as I think then save each change into my CMX Viewer skins folder and reload the skin in Viewer to see how it looks until I get them right to how I want them to look. Bit time consuming but worth the effort if you want them to look right in-game.

More quicker way:
Open toshop, and create an "Action" (the second tab of the History).
The action to do is record under a .jpg (e.g.: save as jpg > c:\cmxviewer\data\skin\XRG_render.jpg). Don't forget to STOP the action when it's done.
Assign a Key to this action by double cliking on the action.
Launch the CMX viewer, and load the skin XRG_Render.jpg. Click on the "Auto" button near the "Reload" button.

Now all you have to do is to make your skin the press the key of the action and go to CMX viewer to see the change (automaticaly up to date).

Easy and way faster than make it manualy

Thanks shadow2kx, I never really noticed the auto tab in viewer, I will be setting this up like you suggest and doing it from now on.

Hello guys, the deadline has passed and it is now time to announce the winner and at the same time to give a reflection about your entries.

I was personally impressed by this concept, even though it broke out of the red and black scheme. I could certainly feel the burning hell seeing this one

This concept truly continues the line of Inferno designs of the past. It also gives a more professional, more edgy look to it. It is a skin that we can really call infernoish and we would be happy to have that as our official skin.

Thank you for your effort, we really appreciate your hours put into it. Congratulations to Schuppor, who eventually made the skins who became the winner for this competition. :spin:
