Creating Skins to Live for Speed - Step by step
Hello LFS community,

I would like to share with you some video I made showing how I create skins for our team's cars, the Roda Presa Racing Team.
I'm not a designer and my Photoshop knowledge is basic, but I still manage to make some good skins.

The videos show the steps I use to create skins.
Now that we have several MODs, some people might be interested in developing new skins.

Coming soon...

The videos show how to make this skin from scratch. It is not a finished skin, it is just for learning.


Attached is the PSD file (XRR Skin Tutorial.zip) that I used in the videos.

The songs in the videos are by a Brazilian band called Corindó, a band from Brasília that did an experimental Forró (popular Brazilian rhythm). The influences that the band have are quite varied. From death metal, rock and roll, jazz, classical music and Brazilian music. Their lyrics focused on fanciful stories generating a playful context for the band.

In the videos I used the music from the first Demo, recorded in 1999 and from the first CD, recorded in 2001.
The songs in the videos are:
  • Cabaraú (Demo version)
  • Corindó (Unreleased Instrumental version)
  • Maria Rosa (Demo version)
  • 40º Terçol do Ceará
The songs are available on the internet for download.
