For those who do follow the rules, incase you like to use this skin (for private use), pm me and I'll arrange it for you. A preview of the final product below, but I'm not too keen to post the skin file here until a certain forum member has their status changed to "No longer welcome"

The skin is done but I am not a big fan of having my work shared uncredited and without the sharer asking permission (AND recieving a positive reply), as I see you have done with my Renault, and will therefore not publish it until you've removed my works aswell as all the other permissionless from you're publishments. I dare say the others you've stolen from are certainly not happy to have they're works shared alongside your comparatively abysmal skins.

I did the simplest possible lining up, which I must admit ain't that good. The feather is now "in line" but only looks good in side view, I've found designs like these quite hard to get right to the "steppy" surface of the fbm engine cover + side pods. Anyways, here's what I came up with.

Quote from Silverracer :

The CMX viewer really aids skinning, do try it out...

I guess I could give it a go...

I'll have a go but I can't promise anything. I use Photoshop and preview in game, takes a bit longer but I don't really care, I rather use old and known tools than spend time to learn new things, that's waht school was for

And I just noticed I haven't done anything about the Emil Frey logo other than clatched it on there, which does worsen it's current look

At the beginning of the season Sauber didn't really have any sponsors which made the car quite simple and uninteresting so I'm attempting to replicate something more like teh livery they used in Suzuka, on Kobayashis home soil. http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp- ... /koba_saub_suzu_20101.jpg

recently my work has eaten a bunch of my time and thus the Sauber is not yet in publishable condition. I can however give you a sneak peak and will attempt to get the skin done before the race at Abu Dhabi.

Lack of time forces me to publish while I still remember to do so: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1507822#post1507822

Just figured I'd post this here while I remember it. Lot's of things going on in my personal life atm limiting my time for lfs, thus although it's not completely perfect, I'd say I got about 95% of the way that I wanted it. Do not claim this as your own work, edit with credits and uhm, enjoy I guess You may post this on your own site if you like but if you do and claim it as your own, I think, and excuse me for my lack of proper english vernacular, rapage is the action that will follow.

You've got most of the tools to be a great skinner. Good luck!

Link fetish much?

started, progress can be followed here http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1494834#post1494834

As per request, a snap of the progress I made thus far. Dont' be harsh just basics done, slapped madcroc on there just to give a little color (will improve it), very pale skin in reality.

p.s. some people have commented on teh scene where these are "rendered", uhm, forget it. I use Photoshop CS to do these but I preview in game, take screenshot and crop in Paint, so yea, credit for the "scene" goes to lfs

btw, I cba to look for it myself but does anyone know if there's a F1 2010 skin package in progress for FBM? Or even released? If not, I might just aswell get to it

I'll take a shot at the car skin, someone else can do the helmet. Btw, if viewers could please make final suggestions to my R30 skin before I releasi it, that'd be great! (link below)

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1494208#post1494208

Any final suggestions? Plus:

1. Can anyone tell me if the Kubica 2010 helmet was ever finished and if so, where can I find it.
2. What "HELVETICA" logo is displayed at the back of the side pod in some races, can't seem to find it anywhere

Skin will be made public if demand is shown!

Thanks, color looks much better! Applied your other suggestions as well and wanted to show how far I got!

progress made today. any response at all appreciated

Last edited by NordicFox7, Mon, 1 Nov 2010 22:14.

Saw this had been requested a while back and couldn't find any finished product so having a go at it myself. Still early stages and only my second skin ever but I thought I'd give those (if any) interested a sneak peek.

p.s. any suggestions for a better rgb color for the yellow is very welcome!

Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it! Lining up engine cover would be too advanced/time consuming, so I decided just to alter the text size. Final product can be seen here: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1488945#post1488945

My first skin, made for the Mountain Dew Motorsport team of Finland. Feel free to edit!

After a few more morning hours of painting and editing, I'm beginning to feel quite satisfied with the current product. Please, give final suggestions if you got any ideas how to improve!

Quote from 5tag :

Not sure if you are interested but I did a skin with Mountain Dew as the main theme and sponsor for FBM. Just use the search engine.

Took a while to find as you didn't say much in the post itself, but found it:

http://www.lfsforum.net/showth ... highlight=fbm&page=39 (post 1156 right after mid page)

Looks great but I'm going an all different direction color wise. The smaller logos/sponsors ADAC, DELL and such are inspiring as they are exactly what I'm looking for; neat, simple, not too eye-catching but add to the overall look!

Thank you for your response!

I at first opted for the mtn logo as the main one because I could only find smaller versions (like 320 pixels on long side) for the mountain logo, and feared it might looked pixelated. However, trying your suggestion (plus a new engine cover (please tell me if that's too much )) didn't look bad at all.

Which one do you prefer?

And also, for the rear wing I'm thinking of parodizing red bull's "GIVES YOU WINGS" with an urban legend as to what mountain dew gives

I've been working on my first skin for some time now, and have gotten to a point where I'm quite satisfied with the overall layout, but could use more sponsors. Thus far I've only experimented with different Mountain Dew logos, but I was wondering if people could give their opinions/ideas as to what they think might look good on the car.

All suggestions, thumbs in either direction as long as constructive, general aid, etc. is appreciated!
