Hello Racer,
Due to the high demand for real skins,
I plan to do the following :
I'm making a real skin pack and I still have 3 skins (early WIP) for it.
and I'm doing a second pack of fantasy skins, what do you all mean?
so you can mix them yourself as you want

Well, your work is always welcome, chrisi74. And for sure, it’s in the end up to you where you spend your time at.
Speaking for myself, this car has now great skins from your side. Do not get me wrong, even more cool skins for this car are for sure welcome.

but when I look at other cars in AMS2, I would say from my side, that there are places that could get great with your attention.
And mostly I am a big fan of real life skins, no fantasy ones. (Ya, there are exceptions)
(When I say real life skin I am not talking about using real life skins from other cars, I mean original real life skin car specific.)

Back to your question, what about, just as an example, the Porsche Cup car? A set of full originals? Or bmw gt3, or McLaren f1 gtr, McLaren gt3, merc gt3, even more Porsche gt3.
Me speaking about „full“ sets, and ya, I know that some separate skins are released by other artists, well, no prob from my side. Work together or do your own version.

what ever you do, be sure of my big thanx and respect!

 

all right Brainbug.
The truth is: we spend hundreds of hours for free in things we really like. A good livery is about 3 to 10 hours. And its not only painting. Much time in replicating real liveries is recherche for sources, like old photos and decals.
What Chris does with his peronal fantasy liveries is art in my eyes. They really look like if they could have been on tracks 30 years ago. Great work.
Though you are right , the community needs more from all cars, but i suspect someone would spend 50 hours + in something his heart is not on, just because other people want/need it.
Thats the job for paid people

 

Absolutely no need for such condescension. I appreciate your points, but I think he made it fairly clear it was just a friendly suggestion, and that he massively appreciated the skins either way. As we all do.

 

don't take me wrong. That was not a negative comment to brainbugs wisches. I just wanted to tell, why we do many of this and that, and why not something other.
E.g. i made about 15 BMW M1 liveries, some of that were never released by other people.
Because i really like this car and its original liveries. And my intention is to create all of them as real as possible
All we need is fans of other cars, that put their heartblood into cars THEY like

Edit: To be clear. I'm no native english speaker.
Maybe instead of writing "all right Brainbug" i could say " You are right, Brainbug".
Better?

 

Confession time...

I didn’t realise Brainbug was their username

 

Liqui Moly Skin is finished!

 

It’s all good guys.
And yes, my username is brainbug, so when someone calls me that, it’s all correct. lol

@Wolfgang Herold
Nice to have you also here at this conversation. You are also, just like chrisi74 and some others, „old faces“ from project cars times for me. (This is no braun-nosing, it’s me saying big respect for your work, which I follow for many years now)

And to bring out the main first, just like I said in my previous posting, all I said is personal opinion, which for me, in a forum and without being disrespectful or something like this to others, is ok.

Chrisi74 asked, I put my opinion in.

And to bring some background in... I know quite good how much work stands behind creating accurate skins, specially the historical ones, because of hard to find resources like logos, which you often sadly have to redraw in vectors to make it 100% right and hi-res, but for that you will need good ref pics, which are also hard to find. So ya, I know all the work, and there comes my respect for others artist for.

It’s good to see that there is an option (at racedepartment) to put a Paypal donation option to your work, I hope people use it.

... and, if we ever should get a supra for AMS2, be sure that i will re-use one of my last old work from 2010 lol
(I still remember the pain in the a$$ search these old days for one specific logo ref pics for re-creation) hell

old preview-pic from 2010 (good old memories for me)
nfs shift (ya, sms for ea, kinda pre-madness engine, the mother of it so-to-say

 

This is my first two skins!!!!

 

I'm working on some GT1 skins - does anyone happen to have templates for the "Reiza GT1" number plates, or the number font?

Thank you!

 

Ok, here's a preview of one of the liveries I've been working on. It's loosely based on Sandy Grau's DTM Mercedes from 1995, but modified to better fit on the CLK-LM.




This is the first skin I've made in over 15 years since the F1 Challenge and SCGT days, so go easy on me, as I'm a bit rusty

One thing I've found is that the yellow is significantly brighter in game than it is when I'm viewing the file itself. Is there a workaround to this in terms of settings for the DDS file, or is this just how the game engine renders?
