First render, of my private (yes, all my skins are private. I can't deal with it!) drag XRG. The background of the render is really cr*p, and the render was made on the Ready-to-Render kit (10/10 for it ), but, I think it was worth the try. XD
There is already some pace/safety cars already made on Master Skinnerz, but due server changes, they are currently 404. If you want this one, exactly the F1 version, someone here, I guess, will help you out, it's not that complicated to make one.
Actually, yes, because the file is the same, so they will see their SUIT_.jpg and you will see yours. And SUIT_.jpg is not a real "skin", because it is like a default file, and you can't download/put/aquire (etc.) additional suit files.
It's kinda like that. It's inspired on the 1964 NART Ferrari, from John Surtees, but I took it a little "outta" the theme. I'll post this one, then I'll do the accurate version of the car. I'm not pushing so hard now on skins, because I can't do it. GIMP is a little poor, and this is all new, but I hope soon I'll be doing better jobs.
The guys mostly use .psd layered images, so it's easy to place em correctly and edit properly, but like, this Starion made by Squalo, it's a .png, already with transparency, just for paste and use. It depends from who made it.
Well, there is out there lot's of bodykits, some top job, others bad work, but if you search, you will find some. Usually for XRT (can be converted for XRG), people make Silvias and AE86, but for other cars, such FZ5, they make Ferraris and Porsches.
Dude, someday i'll do liveries like this one... Great job, simply perfect! I don't like the orange with the gold details, but the skin is clean and nice.
Sorry for the double post, and sorry again for digging this up. And one more sorry for posting on wrong topic (I won't create another one in WIP, that's better this way...), but, I had to post this... I'm not any Kiste or any of the L4P guys, but I do my best... I swear...
Try the "Search" feature here, or do a request on the respective area. If it's only the skull thing, you coulda do it yourself, get a GIMP, get the stretching values, the Pro Kit, get the default skin and set as multiply (if the skin is black, won't do much progress applying shadowing in the skin) and done, good stuff made. And plus, you got S2, can upload the skin, then good play.
You shoulda have posted in the Finished Skins > XR Skins, and could gives us a preview of the in-game skin, takes too much to take the .dds file and see the skin.
I know I should not post this here, but soon soon I'll release this one... A pity that I won't use it, still haven't found a credit card... =/ [Bodykit by schUPpor]
Done that.
Also, are you going to publish this dirt layer, or already have done it? Looked for it here and in Master Skinnerz, and nothing. The dirt layer made by brandons48 don't fit properly on XRG, like he claims it fits.
I used Photofiltre combined with Paint.net for like a year (not here on LFS, I don't wanna hurt everyone's eyes with that "Fill+White Pixels" skins), and I'm totally convinced and sure that GIMP worth the sacrifice of learning it. Seriously.
It is good for a start on graphics editing, because it have transparent and mask functions, but if I could start with GIMP earlier, I would be a happier man. XD
My first livery (if you consider that Photofiltre gradient skins are not appliable...), took some time to do it, but finally I had the inspiration of doing it...
Since it's a private skin (yeah, I posted it here so some players can download it and see it when I'm racing... or not), please do not use or edit it!
Had to upload on Imageshack because the files are too big, so... 1024 / 2048
Also, if you download it, please rename it for FBM_Halle_001
