[Steel]

Hey, thats pretty good. ;)

[ws6lou]

thanks man stole the logo tho haha. yours are nice too, i like how you got the red paint fading out to both sides. i think it looks better without a hood too

My first two, opinions?

BTW in the second picture about where it says all out it says pinks in grey, didn't come out too well.

[Gold]

Dan, I like them both great job.

[DanWhoElse]

Thank you :D

[Allegedman]

can someone make a rusty skin with a picture of Han solo on the hood and trunk with chewbacca?

[83 Elcy]

Whoa, those skins are nice Dan.

I updated mine, now if I could just get the passenger side right.

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk84/Bigstank-/mwo2010-08-2915-07-33-15.png
Old school style.

[DanWhoElse]

Thanks elcy, i like yours too. Also i have that problem one side always doesn't look right lol

[Steel]

Those look great guys. For some reason I cant seem to change my last primered paint. :-/

[Taigo]

Thanks elcy, i like yours too. Also i have that problem one side always doesn't look right lol

What´s up with the other side?

[Steel]

I tried cloning the other side but it didnt seem to work--that and the fact I dont know what im doin :D

[83 Elcy]

The passenger side always keeps the trim and the skin overlays it. The driver side shows correctly and removes the trim when the skin doesn't have it.

Hopefully I explained it well enough.

[DanWhoElse]

What´s up with the other side?

Cant just flip the decals and put them on the other side, they come out backwards or uneven.

[DanWhoElse]

http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa293/danthatsit/mwo2010-08-2916-14-26-95.jpg

Made another :D

[Steel]

Yall are just making me look bad............:D

[ws6lou]

real nice dan, here's my bel-air grand sport,
http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz127/ws6lou/bellairgrandsport.png

[DanWhoElse]

i would never lol and ws6 thats awesome, too bad the trunk is glitched.

[Steel]

Hey Lou, I noticed your having the same prob with the trunk lid not being painted. I used Gimp 2.6, what did you guys use ?

[Steel]

Lol at Dan we both noticed the trunk
............:D

[ws6lou]

thanks dan, yea i just downloaded gimp 2.6 to do skins, so im using that as well. guess thats the problem, not sure how to go about fixing it though

[Steel]

I think the prob with the trunk might be the glare factor in the paint template. you cant get around that glare in the paint. I dont have a clue in these matters but that seems a logical approach..............:-/

[bent]

Well I decided to give it a quick shot to see how things layed out and here is the result.


If the template was laid out so the hood was inplace with the body it would look alot better.

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x281/bent_fender/MotorWorld.jpg

[Steel]

Thats a pretty good shot at flames, Bent........... :congrats:

[DanWhoElse]

I use PS CS5 and it dosnt work for me either. Also good job but that reminds me i gotta fix my flames car lol

[bent]

Went for the whole true fire just aint wanting to work like I want it to. Ill come up with something you hide and watch. Also I will talk to a buddy of mine and see if he cannot figure out the alpha settings for the trunk of the car he is good at stuff like that. TY for the compliment..

Nice flame job there!

[LoneWolf]

Hey guys, we just found out that the template is wrong. It has an alpha channel that shoudn't be there, or it's wrong. We are fixing that and we'll upload a new template shortly.

[DanWhoElse]

Awesome, i screwed mine up anywas haha

[bent]

Cool sounds good. Nice to see a game that has such good P.R. Keep up the good work.

[roadweasel]

Thank you Bent, one of the things we pride ourselves on is our relationship with our community!
Nice work on the skins guys, I'm looking forward to seeing how creative we can be! I still have lots of skins from our first attempt I'll be trying to recreate. I have gimp but I'm an art gimp so it takes me a while.

[MoparTM]

wait how did i miss the skin possibility? can someone shoot me some info or a link lol

EDIT: nvm i found the files and stuff i didnt eplore the folder yet lol

[Taigo]

The passenger side always keeps the trim and the skin overlays it. The driver side shows correctly and removes the trim when the skin doesn't have it.

Hopefully I explained it well enough.

Yeah, that´s a alpha channel thing, it works right if you go to the alpha channel, hold ctrl and click it (so it makes a selection) and then you have to delete the trimming area of your skin (make the place where there are trims with transparent background)

Then it will work really nice :)

[83 Elcy]

Thanks! Skin looks alot better now. How did you get the trim on the drivers side though? Whenever I use a skin it goes away.

[Taigo]

Post your skin so i can take a look and tell what´s wrong with it.
As a png in a zip file offcourse :)

[83 Elcy]

I was abit lazy on the passenger side/haven't got to flipping it around yet.

I would love to see the fonz on a car

aaaaayyyyy!!

Here´s your solution:
http://motorworldonline.net/forum/imgupload/uploads/80b96f1da166682e161d02cfb8870658.jpg
You should keep even the background transparent.
Now if you wanted to make it have the flames and still change the colors, all you would have to do is to add the flames on the hood and delete everything else with the background set as transparent :)

[ws6lou]

[SgtDoxey75]

question how do you do that

[LoneWolf]

hey that looks like my car lol

[bent]

Wow Guess I had better get busy if I am going to keep up with you guys.

[LoneWolf]

Oh sorry guys i just found out i didn't made the trunk skinable :">

[Steel]

[Nova[RR]]

Nice skin there dan..after my first day back to college i'm going to work on some skins of my own.

[Steel]

I dont know why but my skins are no longer sticking. I deleted the original png file but that shouldnt have anything to do with it cause my 2nd skin stuck. Any ideas ? Ive made a really cool starburst skin that I would love to see stick.

[SgtDoxey75]

question when do the other cars come in to play

[SgtDoxey75]

i would like to get the skin app to download but the site seems to be non opperable

[SgtDoxey75]

where is the drag strip I was waning to try out draging

[KEN]

If you read the caption below the drag strip video on the front page you will find the answer to your question. ;)

As far as other cars, they come into play when we release the beta. This is an alpha release.

[Ayce]

Meanwhile, back to the skinning.

[Steel]

Serious air with a wheel locked control.....can you guess where the jump is :D

Nice!

I want to see the "two lane blackTop" chevy skinned :)

[Pie]

Nice!

I want to see the "two lane blackTop" chevy skinned :)
Been trying hehe.

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii21/woozieshane/MWO/mwo2010-08-3017-24-04-32.png

[LoneWolf]

hehe nice, need to remove the front fenders thou

[LoneWolf]

My atempt for the Two lane blacktop chevy. Its a bit bright. And now i can't seem to remove the damn trims lol.


http://www.motorworldonline.net/forum/picture.php?albumid=124&pictureid=1169

[Pie]

Yeah I cant get mine out either. The game like over-rides it or something. Even If I do a solid color for background and remove the template all together they are still there in-game. I also noticed that the reason the left side does not show the trim in the garage is due to lighting. If you go to the city and drive in a circle, you will see that the side not hit with light does not show the trim.

Anyway, here is a simple flame job. Just need to get it on the hood and roof so it looks decent. But that's tedious lol.

[bmac[RR]]

ok guys i made a nice rusty skin looks good but how do i get it ingame?

[LoneWolf]

Just replace the Skin.png on the MWO root folder.

[83 Elcy]

Save it as a png and name it "skin" then put it in the MWO root folder

Edit: Got beat by LoneWolf

[bmac[RR]]

i overwrote the skin.png with my skin i made how do i get it to show up ingame i am a experienced skinner ive been skining for 3 years now.

[bmac[RR]]

sorry for the double post i feel like an idiot i got it...

[Pie]

hehe yeah it just over rides the default skin.

[bmac[RR]]

[Pie]

Dude that's awesome :D

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii21/woozieshane/MWO/mwo2010-08-3100-13-32-23.png

Beginning a team skin. As far as I got before getting bored lol. I'll probably remove the tribal hood stuff. Put something more awesome there. That was more of an experimental thing. Seeing how things show up on the hood.

[Steel]

Does coloring the background of the template affect it ? I deleted the original skin, would that make a difference ?

[Pie]

No. Only the areas that look like parts of the car reflect changes.

[bmac[RR]]

steel try and make your skins a little more complex like no offense but they look like something i could whip up in minutes. if you need help im here.

[Steel]

Thats about the time it took :D Im familiarizing myself with making these thing right now.Are there more textures at gimp ?

[Pie]

bmac what software are you using? I've been trying to get that "streak" effect you have in your rust but I can't get it right :/

[Pie]

Thats about the time it took :D Im familiarizing myself with making these thing right now.Are there more textures at gimp ?

You can give searching "gimp brushes" in google a try. You can just plop them in your "C:/Users/Username/.gimp-2.X/brushes" folder

[bmac[RR]]

i use gimp. but the rust is just a texture overlay but you can download new brushes and what not they help alot.

[Mad Mike]

Hey bmac. Very nice job on that rustbucket. If you still want a suggestion or two, how about some torn up side trim like what we see on Christine at the beginning ;)
http://threesecondsofdeadair.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/christine-still.jpg

[Pie]

Basic, but I like it. :) Took forever to get the flames on the hood to match up with those on the fenders.

I'm not really into flames, but this one is wicked!

[Nova[RR]]

how again do u get the trim to be ontop of the new skin?

[LoneWolf]

If you want the trim to be drawn on top of the skin you need to invert the alpha channel on the original template.psd (i think) taigo is the one who knows lol

[Steel]

[Taigo]

;19928']how again do u get the trim to be ontop of the new skin?

You have to leave the trims area transparent kinda like this:
http://motorworldonline.net/forum/imgupload/uploads/80b96f1da166682e161d02cfb8870658.jpg

You will find the trims pattern on the alpha channel.

[LoneWolf]

just for the record. You can make the "decals" as diferent layer with transparent background and delete the "teplate" layer. that way you can see the original lightmaping and change color for the car.

[Pie]

just for the record. You can make the "decals" as diferent layer with transparent background and delete the "teplate" layer. that way you can see the original lightmaping and change color for the car.

Which is how the last skin I posted is. :)

[Steel]

Are you referring to photo shop ? Im beginning to think gimp is over rated. So if you put the decals on 1st then make it transparent ? Also , if I rotate the template to put on flames, they come out warped all over the car except the one in the original position. How do I correct that?

[Ayce]

That's because you're working on the decal layer. When you rotate the template "body" layer, the decal layer probably stays where it is.
As mentioned, I use Paint Shop Pro9 (Corel,now up to X3) and it shows all layers. Not used to Photoshop, tried it once, went back to PSP.
I tried that too, but that's when I noticed the decal layer didn't rotate with the template layer.
There is a small set of instructions included in the main MWO folder that tells you what to do.And here it is. :D

" Motor World Online (alpha).


In order to use the custom Skin the following is needed:


* Make your skin using the car template and save it as Skin.png

* Rename and replace the "Skin.png" on root game folder with the one you created.

* The skin file MUST be on the root game folder for it to work.



Making the SKIN:


This is a walk trough for photoshop users.

* Open the template PSD of the car of your choosing.

* Select "Decal" layer.

* Paint your skin on that layer using as reference the car body layer.

* After you are done, delete the car body layer.

* Save as Skin.png

*DO NOT flatten (aka merge) the image as you need a transparent background.



NOTES:

* The Skin file is ALWAYS loaded. Make sure you have the proper skin for the car you intend to use

as the game won't check which car you are using.


* If you don't want to use a skin, copy the NoSkin.png and replace the Skin.png file.
NoSkin.png is just an empty full transparent png."

Spelling errors fixed by me.

[Pie]

GIMP is as powerful as (if not more powerful than) Photoshop. Never tried Paint Shop Pro.

You modify the "Decal" layer. You simply use the "Body" layer as a guide. After you are done you delete the "Body" layer. Once that is gone, anywhere you did not modify the "Decal" layer will be transparent. You can also add additional layers such as bmac did on his rust skin.

Had to scale it back up to 1024x1024 so it's a bit choppy.

[Nova[RR]]

dang thank you! how did u guys fix the trunk thingy again? well i'll make a note of the size next time.

[LoneWolf]

nova, if you do the decals in separated layer and leve the rest transparent, you just delete the car body layer and chose the car color inside the game.

[Nova[RR]]

yea I was kinda hoping to have the trim look like what I made..just the lines and black inside... will there always be the default trim?

[Nova[RR]]

now if i delete the alpha channel thingy will the trim go away? and then I can make my own trim on the skin?

[makavilebos1]

bmac[RR} thats some nice rust great job guys the skins look great

OK, I think Ive almost figured this layer thing out. By adding layers and deleting the bottom layer it keeps the trim in place.

[Steel]

They are supposed to be layered.

[Pie]

;20001']Now are these PNG files suppost to be flattened, or layered?

When it asks to flatten or export, choose export. If you flatten it, you lose your alpha channels.

Hey bmac. Very nice job on that rustbucket. If you still want a suggestion or two, how about some torn up side trim like what we see on Christine at the beginning ;)
http://threesecondsofdeadair.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/christine-still.jpg

id love to but i cannot remove the trim.

[Steel]

Im new to this but what influences the trim ? I actually dont see the trim on the template when Im working with it. Is there a way to manipulate the trim with the alpha channel ? Im shootin in the dark here......<---------- Old Goat

[Nova[RR]]

now is there anyway around the trim lonewolf? or Tiago?

[Steel]

Seems to me the trim would have to be on a diff channel or file or...Im stumped with this one. I know this must sound stupid for those who know but this skinning thing has really grabbed me. :-)

[Pie]

From what I gather, the skin we are editing is like a secondary skin. So the base skin is still showing underneath. It does not seem like we can edit the base skin.

[willyrich]

hey guys anyway anyone of you could make me a solid black template of the skin i seem to be having problems creating on it keeps getting blotchy and im getting very frustrated . and also i cant seem to find where the pics are saved when i try to save like hitting the print button im running windows xp and forgot where they go when saved lol...any help i would appreciate it thnxs

[Ayce]

Can't help with the blotchyness, willie, unless you're painting the body layer instead of the decal layer. As far as when you hit "print screen" on the keyboard, it copies that onto your clipboard, then you have to paste it into your graphics program before you hit it again, or it gets overwritten.
Unless you are using fraps, or other screen capture program, in which case, it copies into it's own folder, usually.

Might have misread that. If you meant when you hit save in your graphics program. it usually goes to your "My Documents/Pictures" folder, unless you specify elsewhere. If your hitting "print" in the program, and don't have a printer hooked up, it saves the file in the printer's queue, and I don't think even Bill Gates knows where that is. :))

[Steel]

I use fraps for screen capture, its a free and easy program for keeping track of screenshots. Im also using Gimp for the photo editing. Im learning as I go so I cant give much advice there but there are tutorials if you google ithttp://www.motorworldonline.net/forum/imgupload/uploads/0371ffb8d48bec1bbfefa986ad967511.png (http://www.motorworldonline.net/forum/imgupload/uploads/0371ffb8d48bec1bbfefa986ad967511.png)http://www.motorworldonline.net/forum/imgupload/uploads/cfbe0657c911dc871969eafd7df8c9c4.png (http://www.motorworldonline.net/forum/imgupload/uploads/cfbe0657c911dc871969eafd7df8c9c4.png)

http://a.imageshack.us/img835/4765/87101487.png (http://img835.imageshack.us/i/87101487.png/)
and i think that is whats causing the blotchyness is im try to paint the body layer but the decal layer is nothing but white and gray cubes unless im missing something there ive been scrathcin my head im starting to go bald its driving me crazy i know its not rocket science but at this point it sure seems like it lol
Uploaded with ImageShack.us (http://imageshack.us)

[Ayce]

Looks right to me.
You have to work on the decal layer, which is transparent, hence the grey and white squares. When you click on the decal layer, that's the one you're working on. For example, if you fill the decal layer with one colour, that's what shows up on the body in game. You use the car body layer as a template, to show you where to paint, and then delete it when you're done. If you add more layers for text, etc. You can leave them, or merge down to the decal layer, not to the car body layer. DO NOT FLATTEN/MERGE THE LAYERS!!!! Save the decal layer as "Skin.png" in your main folder.
If you want multiple skins, you can put them in the skin backup folder, remember to name them differently there, and when you want to use them, reopen them in your graphics editor, and save as "skin.png" in your main folder.

Maybe someone can do a video tutorial for this. I can do one for Paint Shop Pro, but others use Photoshop or Gimp.

[bmac[RR]]

EDIT:

skin & screnshots updated.
not sure if I like it or not... feedback welcome.
still need to do the trunk decal.

[BredCooper]

Omg, love the flames and the paint combo, hm...looks like an mco skin ;)
Will you share the skin.png soon?

[Ralph68]

Ayce, Pie and Steel have posted pic's that have the trunk painted. I went through this thread with a fine tooth comb and didn't see a trunk fix. I need to finish up the tail end of my skins, but yea BredCooper they are mco reconstructions I will make them all available soon as I get the trunk decals on, aligned ect.

Really like what you guys have posted so far keep up the good work!!!

[Ralph68]

This is my wip on the flame, will update when finished.

[BredCooper]

And again :x awesome work Ralph.. can't wait to see it on my in game. :D

[Ayce]

There is no trunk fix, sry. If you saw mine painted. it was just careful painting, matching the cars base paint to the decal colour. I also tried to decal the trunk, and it won't work. LW mentioned way back, that he forgot to make the trunk skinnable. Just remember, this is an Alpha, no fixes forthcoming until beta.

[Scorp]

Anyone seen those Duke boys?

[Ralph68]

[BredCooper]

[Steel]

Nice skin Scorp, I hadnt thought about that one.

[Scorp]

I can't seem to save the alpha channel as a .png in CS5

[KrisKustomPaint]
