Perfect weather for cabrios

Quote from Valo :

Nice skins Do you have a template or use the default skin?

Default skin, I'm a noob with PS and PSP

But I bet, the really good ones here all use templates

And again something classical...
In memorial to the SilkCut Jaguar XJR-9

This time it was a bit easier but I'm scared about the jpg kompression, that destroyed the lines in the rear part...

doesn't matter, i hope it's ok for you

Valvoline BF1

Wow, would you release it?

Wow... looks like this car would get better skins than the FO8, and those weren't bad =)

MP_Racer i would suggest you try to learn the pen tool. I don't remember how it's called in PSP but it's probably the same as in Photoshop. It's a bit confusing at first but it allows you to make nice sharp curves, and it will probably save you a lot of time.

And you're right, sometimes simple is better

I would like to see the skin file of your Lotus. I'm currently trying out 3D rendering and it's coming along pretty ok and your skin would be a nice practise for me.

I'm glad being a small part of that practise =)

Here ya go:

Well ... at first a thank you to the nice comments

Well Mazz... I'm also not good at skinning and alwas trying to get clear lines and nothing difficult, because it will look terrible
Everyone has to start with something, doesn't matter how it looks, it's about to learn it... after some tests you see in what you are good and in what not - and then you start to do skins with the things you are good in, and one new difficult thing, to get that damn thing right .
Oh... I hope that's true ... just don't stop trying, your skin isn't that bad
I bet everyone started with skins like ours are... they might look simple but it took time to make them and it is YOUR work .

Well, what I'm talking about oO ... just wanted to say you shouldn't give up so fast, you got some details in your skin i wanted to get in mine but I failed - so in a special way you had more talnt by placing the real design on a BF1 .


Ok so far... uhm... yeah PSP7 is a really good prog but i'm not good in using tools like these... my skinning looks more like placing Pixel per Pixel per Pexiel.. and so on... not in any way professional. Maybe I should spend some time in tutorials but... oh we all need more time, right? ^^

I also love the Design of old F1 cars, they are simple but in my opinion they are more beautiful than the acutal ones with all those sponsors *ugh*

Wow, way too long posting for a few words 'bout nothing, or not?

Quote from Mazz4200 :

Here's my first attempt at a proper skin.
Still WIP so it's abit rough around the edges, having to learn skinning, Photoshop, and art, all at the same time and i'm quickly learning i have no talent for any of them !

(the last pic is the car it's based on)

Wow, same Idea...

I needed one day for the full car... hanging around 4/5 of the time with the cockpit, it was so unbelievable difficult :/
Of course because I can't handle a good Graphics-prog and used my PSP7 more like everyone did with MSPaint in the first modding years ^^
And also ... I'm an awesome ... bad skinner, never was good in it but i love working on these cars so i tried it out

I hope it's ok for you... my first Open Wheeler ever and 4th Skin so far...
Skinfile follows if anybody wants it, just let me clean up the last two wrong things
