Hi, this might not be the exact right place to post this request but I don't know where else to place it and this topic has some great artists as visitors .

I'm just wondering if one of those artists would like to help me updating the design of our team skins. I'm updating them for the new season in the Dutch Championship (some new sponsors).

All I would like to have some help with is the sides of the cars. An example of the existing skins can be found on our website: www.1stracing.nl.
I dont want these silly Coca-Cola-like-curves anymore, I'd like some proper "plane distribution" (dunno if that's the right term). So what I'm asking "you" is if you can come up with some ideas for plane-shapes for the side of the cars...
To give you an example of what I really like.... the ZT skins by ORION (or is it Sniiki?) are great: http://www.zt-racing.com/zockertempel/gallery/fxrmodded1.jpg
And I also love the Formula XR Team400 skins by Alzy... just wish I could make skins that professional!

Hope anyone can help me out... if so we could maybe talk on MSN?

Thanks a lot in advance!

modeling(lights, wheels, etc), materials, render - Sniiki



I think it's always a good idea to make a screenshot and paint lines over the car to see how you could design it. Im often doing it like that...


But guys please done copy the ZT design :P

Well, some thoughts

[EDIT]
Yea I know it's not just the sides but I got this idea so I quickly made it... however :P

[EDIT2]
Or just use the same design on the sides you used on the rest of the car (last pic added)

OMG ORION, that's exactly what I meant! And such a quick reply as well, thanks so much!

Those designs look stunning imo, I'm going to try to reproduce it asap and will post the result here. At first sight I think the first design looks best http://www.lfsforum.net/attach ... tid=4897&d=1136728106 Cool!

First exams to do though!

Thanks a lot, TraXX

Your reply was at just about the time I woke up... so no waiting there :P

ORION, thanks for the inspiration you've given me in the first reply in this post. Just to let you know, it initiated a cooperation between me and TeaZ-R and this is the final result:
