That Plasa skin... :[

1024 would be absolutely fine, 2048 beeing brilliant. But 512 is not sufficiant at any measure. It actually makes lfs look ridiculous in every youtube channel. I know this is a long and frustrating story and it might even never end, but please @devs: increase online skin resolution to 1024 soon! This is 2020, everyone racing online has a connection that is a trillion times faster now than back in the 90s! ...

@Shirtkicker: I have PS with 3D functionality. I have the FZR files thanks to @Lakyn and also watched the short tutorial. What I dont understand atm is, how to place a grafic (f.e. my yellow rose) on the 3D model. Is this possible? That would be awesome. For now I can just edit the 2D skin and after ctrl+s see the changes almost instantly. That helps skipping the preview process with the car viewer but it is still tedious work for every single connection point...

I never found one, but it's pretty intuitive.

From the 'layer' menu, select 'add 3D layer', choose a model* and start painting.

There's a tool hidden away under the eyedropper tool (click and hold to see the sub-items). The 3D Tool allows manipulation of the camera and the object while painting, as well as different lighting and rendering solutions (redundant, but interesting).

The standard flat-view bitmap can be accessed by double clicking the sub-maps of the layer, you can also add layers and artwork directly to this file, save it, and the results update on the 3d model in the other file. This is also the file you save-as-jpg from for your final skin file.

Freehand is a lot of fun (I drew that top skin with the mouse) and you can use multi-point marquee-selections across entire sections. eg, the lightning bolts - similar to your proposed spirals.

By far the best use for it is with transferring complex existing artwork to intersecting panels with perfect alignment. You can use the clone tool to transfer stickers and logos, etc. by placing them on a new layer and cloning them to the car/helmet model layer.



It has a few failings, especially in the older versions, but things like angular tearing, normal glitches and the like don't happen so often in the latest version. The intersections between the faces is a lot smoother now too, but some, as you can see from the side panels of the helmet, still need a bit of manual correction.

* this is a whole other thing... objs are more stable, but models and converter apps are impossible to find, 3ds files are achievable, but need a bit of tidying up to be usable - either way, it will pay to know a little bit about 3D modelling.

I got shivers from this. That would take weeks. I see only 2 ways to get this as a skin: pay somebody for it or learn how to skin Yourself. The result will be: too expensive / too complicated. 3rd option might be to find some elite skinner that is altruistic and masochistic too. I am out. But good luck still.

Hello,

I am back to LFS after 10 years of absence. I have been creating several skins back in the days. Now I consider picking up some of my "dead" projects to get into skinning a little again.

So now I am wondering if technology has improved over the last decade probably making the skinning job easier?! If You look at the attachment, You will find a lot of tedious intersection work for skinning such a skin, aspecially transition from sides to the top of the doors. Is there any software that could make this easy nowadays?

Thank You for reading

Would be awesome, I would try if I had the talent There's already a Miku skin for the FZ5, but a GTR one would be great aswell

First new public skin for 2020, enjoy. (already uploaded)

Ye i know about that, but the FO8 skin would not work for me

Quote from alexdkc :

Honestly, I can't prove it. Is that mean, I can't request for a skin?

The thing is you are requesting skin for content you shouldn't have access to considering your LFS licence status. Therefore he has full right to question your legal access to specified content.

This is amazing! Can You attach this as a skin? Thank You!

My new public skin and first public skin with high quality.

XRR Skin based on the Mazda RX-7 driven by Win Percy in BTCC for the team TWR Pentax in 1980.

Made my own skin! It took a few hours but i'm proud of it

Is it possible for somone to create this kind of simple skin? Can be the sedan version of this car too. http://prntscr.com/phxbs3

i would be willing to help you out, pm me the skin files so i can see what i have to work with

Edit: also you will have to chose the one you want the most

Hey, so I have these skins I use for NR2003, and am wondering if theres any skinners here willing to do a few cars for me, namely the FZ50 GTR (The Jag skin), Any/All Formulas (Indycar skin), and maybe the XR GT? (1988 NASCAR skin)

I have images of the skins, and can send the skin files if need be to help the skinners.
