I made an XFG skin before this with similar lines and didn't have this problem. Thanks for the help

Quote from johneysvk :

if you're using a template, export your skin with wireframe layer on to see how it wraps around the car

I don't understand what I'm supposed to be looking at. Do I just need to eyeball it and rotate the entire skin until it's level with the car?

I'm making a skin for the XRG, I've put a perfectly level line, but loading it into CMX shows the line as being tilted slightly counter-clockwise.

Quote from johneysvk :

the decal is a part of an FXR skin

Ah, thanks.

Quote from delis :

Looks pretty good. Reminded me of the skin I made a while ago for FXR

They look really cool, man. How did you get the decal on the windshield?

Hi, all. I'll be posting my skins here. Take a look around and tell me what you think

I've only got one skin for now, but I'll be working on more in the future.

This is my replica of the JGTC Pennzoil R34 GT-R. Thanks to R4PTOR for skin mask.

Okay, thanks for the help everyone

What if I used imgur to link some previews via [img] and offered the link below? Or some better site than imgur to use? I only said that one 'cause it's the only one I know

Would uploading it to another location like mediafire in a zip file be okay?

Is it the attachment that takes up the bandwidth? If so, I'll probably put the skin and a few screenshots on something like imgur and then just use [IMG] tags to put a screenshot/preview on the forum post, along with a link to the imgur page. I'll keep all the skins on my external HDD so that if the page does get taken down, I should still have them to re-upload.

Also for those that want to see what I'm actually making, progress has been slow and I haven't worked on it much, but hopefully soon I'll start working on it a lot more, and probably more skins (especially as I have a 2 week break coming up).

Thanks for the help

Thanks for all the help

It seems like it isn't worth trying to skin them separately and I think everyone else does it all as one.

Also, as an off topic question, instead of putting my skins in the finished skins post, would it be okay to make a general post in the WIP section to put all my skins in? It just makes more sense to do that to me.

Quote from Subphonic :

Hey, if it's the MasterSkinnerz kit, just flick the wireframe on. It also comes with a default texture called 'Pipes' in the layers as shown.

I believe it's the one from r4ptor. I guess I'll just have to have the whole thing as one colour :L

So I've just started skinning, and I've hit my first problem. That is, I'm not sure how to texture the exhaust tip on the XFG. I can't seem to find where the part is for the bumper indent where the exhaust tip comes from, and the actual exhaust tip itself.

Figure A shows what I have, and Figure B shows roughly what I'm trying to achieve:


For reference, the template I am working from is 4096² pixels

Thanks guys

A a demo user, is it against the rules for me to create and upload skins for the demo cars?
