Steve_300ZX · 6 November 07, 13:14

For some reason the site is realllyyy slow. Telling me as well the cars will take 20 min to download. Will try again later.

dav_ral · 6 November 07, 13:21

thts not normal, was taking a while this morning when i was downloading too tho!

KarlosDaJackal · 6 November 07, 21:19

I've uploaded a quick skin guide, its awaiting approval. It assumes no knowledge of anything and tells you everything and includes loads of pictures.

It should be enough to get people started on the skins (base colour, and adding logos), it also is based on 100% free software. (Why would you pay for photoshop when the GIMP is free and can do more than enough to make skins :cool

Oh and I just had a great Idea for a lambo team. I'll hopefully release that before Friday, it will be very minimalist. Anyone looking for a custom lambo for next season? Preferably someone who has seen the attached logo before.

Excellent.

On my way to an Arsenal Lambo

Am stuck now though, I want to change colour of some of the body work, rear wing, side skirts etc. haven't found the right thing to do.

dav_ral · 7 November 07, 12:38

There are many ways, but most probably what you want to do is use the path tool to create a shape around the parts of the car you want to change the colour for. Then use the "path to selection option" and fill in you selection with the colour you want.

I'm still figuring out the paths thing. Ideally you want another layer with the coloured shape, so then if you had a red and white car, and wanted a black and yellow one(or whatever they use for an away strip), you would just have to do a fill on each of those layers.

SoundMan · 7 November 07, 14:07

where can we get hold of these amazing skins??????????????????

http://prs.simracing.pl/forum/f120/p...3329/?langid=1

************************************************** ***********

as for me, have only ever done 1 skin, and never released it:

i like it tho.

Steve_300ZX · 7 November 07, 17:13

Car so far. Quite proud of that

Need some white in the body, but after hours of trying I give up for the day. New set of rims added.

That looks quite good. I've just uploaded part 2 of the guide and i'm working on part 3 now which will specifically deal with painting shapes on the cars. Can't believe part 1 has been downloaded over 100 times in one day

BuRnY · 7 November 07, 20:10

edit: nevermind, stupid question.

It just needed an 'idiots guide to skinnning', of which I am one

. Easy to follow and understand. Homework was taking the piss a bit! Only kidding,

, found it all spot on and just what I needed to get my feet wet.

KarlosDaJackal · 8 November 07, 07:50

Part 2 is now available here http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=6677

just had a look and tried to do the dds addon for gimp.... can someone please help me with putting this in aswell! im stumped!!!

cmon man its easy, its just moving a file from a zip file to your gimp folder. The zip file even has its own readme included. You will need to do lots of moving of files when you get around to making your car a standalone, look at this as practice.

dav_ral · 8 November 07, 15:07

ok, il give it a go, going to download that mingw like it says to!

or do you just have to dump the folder in the GIMP file in prog files?

You must have missed the part which said download the windows binaries, sounds like you downloaded something else for some reason. You don't need ming at all.

When you go to this page http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=4816
and click on windows binaries it downloads this file http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidiu...gimp-dds-win32

Inside that zip file are only 2 things. DDS.exe and a readme file. The readme file says the following

Code:

gimp-dds 2.0.1
(C) Copyright 2007 Shawn Kirst <skirst@fuse.net>

To install, extract these files to your GIMP plugins directory.
This directory is usually located at:
C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins

Do what the readme says and you can work with DDS files.

dav_ral · 8 November 07, 16:05

aah. cheers
i see where i went wrong now :p

Steve_300ZX · 8 November 07, 23:03

Update to my car. Made a lot of mistakes getting used to things, but, save, merge, save a copy, unmerge, becoming second nature. Also getting used to getting the layers in the right order. Terrific guide Karlos, no wonder it has been downloaded so much. Just a few logos to add, I think.

BuRnY · 8 November 07, 23:06

Not bad, not bad at all. The only thing i would change is the text 'the gunners' on the rearwing. Flip it around, so you can read it from the front of the car. That just looks better.

Yeah, was not sure about that. Thanks. It is now flipped

JWhis · 8 November 07, 23:16

Can someone make me a skin based on the Who maximum r and b poster, with the target symbol on the doors?

BuRnY · 8 November 07, 23:46

I'm currently working on a skin for the 550 and the Lister. I've added a screenshot from the lister that is in Beta. And yes, i'm a snowboard freak:bounce:

I'll give it a try Whis

JWhis · 9 November 07, 00:55

I'm trying to do the guide and stuff, once I learn these things i get really good at them but I'm a slow slow learner. How come when I fill the main layer, it doesn't do the doors and roof etc?

SoundMan · 10 November 07, 22:26

amazing skins here:

http://www.archeoskins.com/gtr2/gtr2...p?VARJeux=gtr2

Steve_300ZX · 10 November 07, 22:37

Finished it. Just got to pack it up now. Learnt a lot doing this, great guide, Karlos, 270 downloads!

looking forward to next part. Ended up doing an 'away' car as well.

BuRnY · 10 November 07, 22:58

Those are nice steve

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've dropped the snowboard skin, not that it is hard to make but i didn't like when it was finished

Then i found a picture of the Lister that's in the Gran Turismo series. So i decided to work on that. And this is what i got so far.

racing_eagle_94 · 10 November 07, 23:16

the skins for my team that gazman worked on
thanks gaz
are completed yay!

Thanks mate. This is just an addon to the pack we already have. Just with cars people wanted in the pack and some 'homemade' ones. If there is anything you want added, let me know.

BuRnY · 12 November 07, 09:57
