u can also use corel draw/photopaint, done that @ work, u gotta get used 2 it...
using photoshop @ home, iz much more comfortable 2 me ("learned" photoshop some years ago)
Also, get the CMX Viewer from www.liveforspeed.net - it's a quick car viewer for loading your skins whilst you make them so you can see the 'fit' of the skin.
So Eric is not a developer anymore? Or Photoshop templates for skins, like we know them from Master Skinnerz, are not something Eric simply must have and have been 1st man to create them? For 1st LFS car skins ever? I'm new to the community, so maybe I'm missing something. What always bothered me is why Eric never comes to forums (skinning topics for example, or textures edits), why all those "templates" are coming from the community and not from himself? I believe that he must be able to elegantly generate as perfect wires as anybody needs, while other guys have to spend their childhood in Corel Draw or similiar funny softwares to come with something decent for skinning purposes, for example...
If you look in your LFS/data/pic folder you will find the suit skins, eg: SUITB.jpg, SUITG.jpg etc.
These work just like the car skins work. At this time there is no accurate template or wireframe, but a bit of trial and error will get you there. I recommend looking at other people's custom suit skins to help know where everything goes and how the texture is wrapped around the model.
