Quote from Matrixi :

Except it looks horrid. Sorry, but trying to make a bad picture better by making it even worse (grain, blur, whatever) doesn't help.

I think it kind of looks like an old grainy picture of an original Caterham being raced decades ago. Maybe a little caption describing it as such would finish the effect?

I wonder how difficult it would be for the LFS guys to make the CMX viewer capable of spitting out simple render-quality pictures. I think most of us would be happy with just a blank background and standard quality materials.

Skins are just paintjobs. Someone could paint a car to have the features of that car, but it could only be relatively accurate. Try the Car Skins forum instead, they should be of more help.

I'm just testing it by pasting that code into notepad and saving as .php and .html, neither are working, the resultant page is blank. Is there something else I need to do with it?

He means he doesn't want one like this.

Ok, I've skimmed the whole thread, and I'm still pretty confused

I just want to be able to post the results of http://www.lfsworld.net/pubsta ... st&racer=%3CKchrpm%3E in this format:

Laps Completed: 1292
Miles Driven: 5595
Gallons of Fuel Burned: 195,990
Races Completed: 116
Wins: 16
Podium Finishes: 45

Your link doesn't have a skin on it.

The McLaren F1 wasn't meant to be a race car, just an awesome road car. It was meant to be more of a driver's car than the Veyron, and Gordon Murray was much more dedicated to low weight than high tech, but other than that they are very similar in level of obsession in the design and engineering.

And F1 cars have tiny engines, 2.8 liters, a large percentage of road cars have engines bigger than that, including just about anything with a six-cylinder.

That's awesome! I was just about to come back and post this updated version of the skin, you render faster then I Gimp

Here's my latest skin, undecided on wheel color, probably orange in game, but might look good as chrome in a render. 1280 x 800 for my desktop. Oh, and is it possible to make the car left hand drive instead of right hand drive?

I know that's the current best solution, I just thought that having it available on LFSWorld would be a better option, hence the suggestion

My only suggestion that I haven't already seen in here is just an option to make car and helmet skins publically downloadable to either people on your buddy list or the entire community in 1024 or 512 resolution. There's a group of about a dozen people that I tend to run series with, and it would be nice to be able to get their high-res paintjobs (a couple of them are really talented, as opposed to me ).

Edit: As soon as I posted this, one of the related threads was an almost identical suggestion. Oh well.

Thanks Kev, remind me to let you draft me next time I see you online at Aston

Quote from Kchrpm :

First the skin: http://home.comcast.net/~kchrpm/FZR_Qdoba.jpg

Second the minor requests: Wheel center/spoke the color of the green on the cactus logo, wheel edges the color of the orange in the logo, resolution 1280x800

Any takers?

Quote from XCNuse :

? those are edited

also.. doesnt that skin go against the rules?

Like I said, just stitches. The fact you can't tell they've been edited means I didn't screw it up I wanted to get close shots of my two newest paintjobs, so I sent the AI out in them. Unfortunately they couldn't stay close for long, so got some screen caps from static cameras over a few laps and stitched em.

Just some quick stitches:

I've got a skin that I'd like rendered, with a few requests, one of them oddball.

First the skin: http://home.comcast.net/~kchrpm/FZR_Qdoba.jpg

Second the minor requests: Wheel center/spoke the color of the green on the cactus logo, wheel edges the color of the orange in the logo, resolution 1280x800

And the oddball request: Can you make it look like it's sitting in a QDoba restaurant parking lot? Real or virtual, doesn't matter, and if you can't it's not a big deal, I just think it would make a cool shot.
