For some reason that I haven't figured out yet is that most of my stencils end up being a low quality. I really liked the theme of my last skin so I used that again. Still haven't raced this week hahaha. Thanks Russell for making the youtube videos and the tutorials about Mudbox. They really helped me! You are very welcome! I'm glad it was useful. As for low quality, what resolution are you painting on in Mudbox, and what resolution are your stencils? I tend to paint 4096x textures, and all of my stencils are the same resolution. It also seems to help to have the Mudbox camera as close as possible to the surface being painted. Then when I bring it into Photoshop, I down res everything to a 2048x or 1024x textures to get it all under 10mb using a Photoshop Action I created. Here's what I posted over at RaceDepartment on the subject: Quote:My preferred method of exporting the final dds file is to use an Action in Photoshop. I'd recommend googling "creating Actions in photoshop" for a good how-to, but here's a good list of commands to do in a row once you have your "multi-layer" psd ready to export to a dds: The good news is, at 200kph+ no one can see the pixelated-ness of anyone's work anyway.

Nice teamwork Hahahah thanks! I am just a bucket-painter. I’ve tried to find less jazzy colours, my pink-skins doesn’t fit with a group of gentlemen drivers trying to look respectable ? RE: Post your new skins for the season starting September 23, 2019! - Nick Catsoudas - 09-28-2019 Hey everyone! Before you throw your hypothetical tomatoes onto the hypothetical stage, hear me out first. Thanks to Russell's tutorial and the fixed Merc 3D model he gave me (thanks again for that one mate), I present to you my first attempt (alright, second) at skin-making! It's still an early prototype, there's still plenty of stuff to figure out in terms of design and the "sponsor" placement is a big crapshoot on my part buuuut, it doesn't look absolutely hideous like I expected it to. Things like painting interiors, carbon-fiber parts, or designing patterns like stripes (etc.) still elude me. File size for the skin ended up being way too small, so it could definitely do with some upscaling. Is there some depository for patterns that people take from and then stencil on the model, or do you usually have to make stripes and stuff yourself? Here are a couple of screenshots for ya... It could definitely do with some gold detailing, IMO... There's one from behind... RE: Post your new skins for the season starting September 23, 2019! - Russell Sobie - 09-29-2019 I can think of five methods of creating stripes:

I will be using 4k from now on and then downscaling them back down! I will also keep the camera distance in mind. Here is a livery for the Lancia that I made yesterday. I apologize for the frequent post. I think I will make a final post when the fleet for this season is done! Really enjoying this at the moment. RE: Post your new skins for the season starting September 23, 2019! - Andrea Papasodaro - 10-04-2019 I'll race mostly Ford Spec Racer so I made a very simple skin in hommage of one of my favorite movies: an Italian movie called "Tre Uomini e Una Gamba" (three men and a leg, the leg is a sculpture); they drive a Daewoo with the name of the hardware store where they work.
