I can read every word perfectly fine

I'll tell you something. It isn't done in any photoshop. I can use Adobe Photoshop, but I don't. It's just effect added on a picture. OK?

sure, and... well when you have PS i recommend using it because with everything in layers you can easily change things. it might seem complex program (wich is) but for skinning you dont need to know much.

PS: I (we) can delete these post now to keep this thread clean, do we? If you have problems you can always make a thread in WIP.

Seconded, somebody should get rid of the kiddie stuff. Also matijapkc, FYI, it's fairly universally known that multiple amounts of ??, !! and/or caps, especially used together, = poor forum etiquette and is usually taken as offensive in one manner or another. If somehow you didn't know that before, now you do.
If i am allowed to be honest, it's horrible, and those reflections.
oke wizard,

I have seen those screenies and you made me wonder what the heck is wrong with your LFS settings. The reflections are horrible. Did you use Lybce his reflection pack ??. If so you did something wrong dont no what though.

Back to your skin, hmm what can i say. Try to aling the shape accordingly to the shape of the car. For instances, the fire on the site of the car. It starts at the door. If you start were the wheel arches are it looks more natural.

The same with the shape on the bonnet. Its starts in the middle of the bonnet which gives okward viewing due to the first bit of the bonnet starts at the front. If you can align thos things more it would look a lot better.

But firstly get that reflection sorted, that really looks overexposed.

It's meant that way, he made them himself.

Quote from Stikyiky :Sweet skin.

Quote from matijapkc :Like!

whats wrong with people nowadays on lfs? everyone seems to like the shittiest skin they see, when before skins were made carefully to look good, nowadays they are rushed with bad decals and stuff, which is one of the reasons i took the skin downlaods off.


Mitch, your skins lack quality. They need to be done neatly, wrapped up properly(example your bad carbon texture on the whole hood, not missing the front part)

My tip = get photoshop or GIMP, and get some decals and prokits from master-skinnerz.com, and use the path tool to create designs and add sponsors that flow with it, not just slap on some stuff
Well cheers for the advice =)
I use photoshop and paint.net to do my skins, i don't have ample time to do a skin that takes a few days to do, throw a design together and wollah. I can't see a problem with the carbon fibre, looks ok to me haha. And obviously some others like it, looks ok to me ingame and thats all that matters to me =).
i like it, but i think he means the hood curves down a little bit, but yo make it look square, especially toward the front. it is a nice skin...better then i can do

NO.
you're missing my point completely as im talking about the quality of the skin overall(horrid CF, horrid placement of logos, logos stretching)

It's easy to make a nice looking skin in a few hours, does not take matter of days.

Start of with photoshops path/lasso tool and get some reference from real-life car, and maybe adapt the similar style, or modify it for your liking, its not that hard.

About CF Textures: this is what you obviously use, which is plain horrid for a CF texture:


This is the best CF texture lying around, obviously made by bunta, and its the best CF texture available for LFS atm:


The latter is what you should use for the best look in CF.

In your skin, the CF looks oversized. try sizing it 1/8th of the hood, and repeat it if ofcourse, it will line up.

Also yeah, you should consider trying to be more original. There was a team called Fusion already, and your skin looks a little bit like it.

Oh - and use the wireframes of the LFS Pro-Kits - they REALLY help if you want to create a complicated and stylish look to your skin.
An CRO racing skin. (I really love my country. )
There's an little error on the left side of the hood. FIXED. Found another one... Mirrors have shadow. FIXED. -.-
I have an problem... I get dark blue dots at end of hood on each side. No dots on skin. Any recommendations what to do? FIXING IN PROGRESS.

Quote from Mitch_68 : And obviously some others like it

And thats whats so sad about it. Whoever comment this as "great" or "good" or even "nice" has no idea or simply is comparing to his own skills, wich must be really bad then. One big thing you should not forget is the stretching. Its so obvious and looks so wrong (especially when you use famous logos 'n decals)

Like Niko said, it really takes not much time to squeeze the logos, but adds alot to the overall quality.

ok is far away from good
