Quite nice hd effects there. But let me ask you, what were you thinking when blurring the image? Not to be offensive or anything.. Because that blurring looks really odd. Half of the road blurred, the other not.

Quote from andRo. :

You mean, you want even more reflection? Dude, these reflections are already kind of unrealistic, if you put more, they will look like crap. I made them 0.8, because 1.0 was too bright and too much reflection for me.

I think he means that the reflections should actually be reflections from the surroundings, not just light. I haven't tested Lynce's reflections myself, but judging from the pictures they look a bit unnatural. Some shots look great, I admit, but others are kinda weird.. Just my $0.02

Quote from tiptop :

Nice rip from the Oversteer drift mod for rFactor for the Team Orange skin. Yea you got busted there's their logo clearly visible on the car on both side. You could give at least credits to whom they are due.

Quote from Shadowww :

Uh oh, he ripped something from crappy mod for rCraptor, we must all kill him now.

I agree with you completely, tiptop. When you rip something, which I do not encourage, you at least give the original author credit. The source of the rip is irrelevant, so is the forum.
Shadowww, tiptop didn't say anything about us killing anyone, he just asked to give some credit. Quite reasonable, me thinks.. So don't start flaming straight away even if you personally don't like other games than LFS.

On a lighter note, awesome pics, skiper!

Quote from micarone :

Oh... LOLZ... Now I got it. That's why my front end looks so weird... Been wondering why's that. I installed High-Res texture pack once, but then downgraded to original ones as I didn't get the car shine work properly in LFS Viewer with High-Res pack. Hmmm... Any ideas how can I fix my dds's?

Download this backup folder here http://www.lfs-database.com/in ... nid=87&p13_fileid=667 (if you have add-on textures in your dds-folder, just copy the XF_interiors, not the whole backup)

On a side note, I had this same problem once, and I liked the black lights so much that after backuping I colored my lights with very dark brown. Looks great now.

Guys I Need That Skin >> http://home.hccnet.nl/j.j.sche ... /pictures/XRR_skyline.jpg < Plzzz Post it if u have. Thanks. Aaaaaaand. i want to buy G25 Steering Wheel. howmuch it costs? TY ALL

Why would you need that skin? You're a demo-racer, and that's for XRR.
And for the wheel, go to your local shop. Or :google:

Quote from dutchshogun :

Pictures of my new skin

Skin made by me for me and the DriftWorks team

Gorgeous shots and a great skin! Awesome!

Great looking skins you do, atteiros! You pretty much got me in driving the Sauber with these..

Quote from Ðífrñcé :

Made a new skin for the FZ5

Dang, that is sweet! Are the flowers by you, or some brush set? Anyway, download for sure.

Great skins, C4OZ! Wonderful mirrors on the second one

P.S. Please check your PMs on both Design-Dudes and dA.

Quote from dutchshogun :

Same here :P i kinda need some stuff still, to work this skin out :P
Now i have the black roof etc, but i want the black roof+trunk to follow the trunk lines :P So it flows nicely next to the lights etc I've made the rest around the Lights Carbon now, but it intercepts with the bodywork lining.

See example for what i mean

I really don't see why you can't do this yourself. (<- Not trying to be rude here..) I assume that you're using the pro kit, so just turn on the wireframe, and with that as a quide use some selection tool to cut out the carbon you don't need, or select a part to apply texture/color.

P.S. The carbon fiber texture looks nice, care to share?

Sweet, sweet skinning!

Ok, I guess I'll call this ready.. A purple GReddy XRT.

Uploaded to LFSworld.

Thanks, I'll try changing the green to blue. This was sort of an experiment with pearlescent effect tutorial that I found from Design Dudes's site. The corners on the front bumber are pretty much flawed, so I'll try to fix that.
What kind of gradient are you talking about here? One that comes to my mind is a transition to a bit darker colors towards the rear.

Quote from PioneerLv :

Maybe interesting, but I don't know. Looks kind a futuristic.

Futuristic..? How so? I'd describe them as pretty basic, maybe dull or aggressive (the 2nd ones), but not futuristic. I've thought of doing a led light set, that'd be a little more futuristic I guess Anyways, thanks for the comment!

Please excuse this almost pointless post..
Both lights are now up at LFS database: http://www.lfs-database.com/in ... id=2&p13_sectionid=25 So go grab yourselves a copy, and remeber to rate and comment!:hyper:

Quote from adamlfs :

Course ive seen that , there isnt much i can do for that , its the mapping of the car....
And its not a flaw in the skin , it is the mapping ... I could make the Michelin logo smaller, but then its just too small and pointless.
Since there isnt anywhere else on the skin for that Michelin sticker on the front.
Plus you hardly notice it on the skin when your driving.

I think the flaw could be fixed by shaving a pixel or two from the top of the letters. You even wouldn't have to resize. Anyway, really nice replica!

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

Thats good but dont make long affort that looks like 5 minute job thats just waste of your talent and time.
buts good if its handmade just shame it looks like slashed togetter quik

I think that wether the skin took effort or not is pretty much irrelevant, and so is the time put to it. What is relevant, however, is the outcome and that the skin looks good. And at least I think it looks good, so I'm happy. Ok, one thing I could improve is to redo the flake effect on the GReddy vinyls, they got very blurry after all the warping and skewing..

Quote from Maukkade :

lol.
http://i269.photobucket.com/al ... 57/Seksisepp0/prewiev.jpg

I like it! But how about a carbon fiber hood? Just to get slightly more texture there, u'know.. Those tinted lights look good too!

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

I that white with recoloured sporsors pasted on it no skil needed whatsoever sory but that is not good

Well yeah, maybe I could've added more detail, but I wanted to stay close to the original. I guess the only thing I'd add is the Toyota emblem on the hood, but that's it. The GReddy vinyls are scratch-made, and so is the 'power' in the HKS logo. I took my time with the skins I paint, and it's far from a 5min job. So even though it might look like no skill/no effort skin, I think it looks good, and I spent time doing it. That's all that matters to me.

Of course, that was just my opinion, you're free to think whatever you want. Thanks for the comment

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

They remind me of this:
some BMW

Huh? I don't really see too much similarities.. But anyway, I didn't use any real life references while making these. They're, apart from the texture, made from scratch. On a side note, It's a pity that you can't put white lights (reverse lights?) below the brake lights like in the pic. Or at least I don't know how..

Quote from jonas_16 :

Thanks xD im a fan of ur work in lfs

Thanks!

Quote from jonas_16 :

Thanks!
I browsed through your gallery a bit. Nice street art thing you've got going on there! I fav'd the "NY art," and liked the "Cubiks" and bunch of others very much.

Quote from cathal50cc :

WOW ur gallery is full of amazing pictures well done mate

Thanks! I've got some more on my comp, but I feel they're not good enough to showcase. Will do more in future.

Quote from cathal50cc :

they remind me of an american muscle car or something dunno why i like the pic tho my new wallpaper

Hopefully not the one from the forum.. Click the link on my sig and grab a version with proper (1280x1024) resolution. Thanks!

Quote from Shadowww :

Thanks, I am using second ones.

Edit:
pic of awesomeness

Hahaha, I'm laughing my ass off here!:chairfall That just made my day. Uh, yeah... I'm using those too.

Quote from kiste :

My first RB4 Skin. I hope you like it.

Damnit I love this skin, but found some pretty serious alignment mistakes. Well, at least to me, but I'm somewhat of a perfectionist.. But anyways, JIC you didn't notice them, take a look.


---

And, then for my first RB4 skin. I was browsing a GTI Magazine, a tuning magazine here in Finland, and came across a cool looking Supra. So I did this replica. Nice and simple, just like I like it. I apologize for not showing the original car, but I couldn't find it from the net.

Free to use, but not to edit. Uploaded to LFSworld.

Great skins once again, C4OZ! Although I still think the Remus is the best of your FZRs, this Cusco must come a close second. Downloads for sure!

I think I'll leave this as a thumbnail..


What does everyone think? For some reason I'm not too happy with it. Somethings too bland, or then it's the colors.. I don't know what to add, but it doesn't really look ready yet. Any suggestions?
