project cars turboduck Livery

[superhyper]

Just read the OP again, the URL is not allowed anyways so do you guys want something else, perhaps a historic option too? :hmmm:

 

Will start creating tomorrow myself.

[Ryzza5]

My choice right now would be this; I realized the car should be quite modern so that if we add the URL (are we allowed to?) or logo, it doesn't look out of place :nods:

 

Mate I asked for a screenshot, not a photo :cheeky:

 

 

That suits me fine looks-wise. My only other considerations were 'how is it to drive', and 'how well represented will it be in the game (career)?' i.e. trying to pick a car that a lot of players out there will use because it's great fun or because it's a logical car to pick for the career or online races being competitive.

 

Sorry I can't do much on this today. Will have to get working on the weekend on it. If others want to create PSD files for the sponsors (grahams goat washing, squirrel mafia solutions, etc) that would help us immensely.

 

we can't have a URL (.net) but we can still have the turboduck name and logo as it appears top-left of the page

[Milli]

It really will have a green roof, orange bonnet and yellow body? Will be quite hard to get all those colors in harmony... and simply paint them will look like a cheap job. Just my opinion...

[Ryzza5]

If you've got time, try a few different shades of those colours perhaps (even if you quickly use mspaint) so we can see what works and what doesn't. I'm guessing there will be some sort of fade or gradient effect? We could also separate the different colours with a line/pintstripe between them. Plus other decals/shapes, etc.

I think the GT4-class is pretty popular as it's supposedly fun to drive, also it's probably a starting class in the career mode :nods:

:lol: It's not that simple Ry...

[Ryzza5]

Yessss it is

:lol:

[superhyper]

Diabs, would you mind posting a biiiiiiiiiiiig version of the logo that I can work with once I'll start? :)

 

Also, fantasy sponsor ideas are more than welcome :hmmm: I'll try coming up with a logo for Graham's goat washing but we need more! :nuts:

[Guest MrLolololXD]

So wait, what car have we settled on?

[Ryzza5]

These are the cars with downloadable paint templates.

 

If I'm not mistaken, the BMW 320 that's just been added is the old BTCC car? Any interest there? Otherwise I'm going to make a rough start on the RUF RGT-8

 

If we're struggling to get logos and other stuff to fill the car, then maybe we resort to painting a track day car with less panels

So the basic painting seems fairly easy

 

Just have to colour in between the lines

 

 

 

 

Then copy, flip and align on a new layer, and add the (tiny) turboduck logo

 

 

 

Then hide the wireframe layer, save as TGA, then use a free apps that converts to DDS

 

And you end up with an unplanned cool effect :p

 

 

 

Then remember that you rotated the template 90 degrees to make painting easier, then repeat recent steps after rotating it back to normal.

 

 

 

Then rotate the image by another 180 degrees and repeat

 

 

 

Then scratch your head and try making sure all the layer sizes match the image, and triple check the rotation matches the original template

 

 

 

Then start from scratch and quickly try again without rotating or flipping anything

 

 

 

 

 

Then give up and ask for help

Good to see this rolling again. :para:

[Milli]

We will do the RUF then? Or the M3? :susp:

~snip~

 

LOL

..

[Eudemon]

Ry really makes it look so easy. :susp:

[Milli]

Try to use this image Ry. It's a .png, so you need to convert it to the right format. But if i remember correctly, this is how i made the Z4.

[Eudemon]

I think the RGT-8 is a good fit for the turboduck car. Engine at the back and all? :lol:

 

Not turbocharged when stock it seems.

The most appropriate turboduck vehicles would be the original Carrera 2.7, 997.2 Sport Classic and 991 w/ SportDesign kit because of their ducktails.

[Eudemon]

That would be true if we had them as options but we don't so have to choose from what's available. :duck:

[Ryzza5]

Yeah something about the shape of the RUF when I was watching that Sound trailer struck a chord with me, just the shape seems the most similar to our duck logo for reasons I won't try to explain.

 

Turns out the tutorial missed out the step in changing that rectangular template to a square resolution image somewhere along the line.

 

Also the only problem with using the turboduck logo colours for the car paint is that part of the turboduck logo will be invisible when placed on top. Still waiting for a vector logo too!

[Milli]

Later on i will try to make a RUF livery then... and see what gets out. :lol:

[Ryzza5]

Obviously we can't just use these - but they could be inspiration for our logo (any volunteers to make one?)

 

Which style do you like?

 

 

Serious/professional style

 

Cartoon style

 

Creative liberty style

 

I'm imagining lots of soap suds surrounding most of their body

[Ryzza5]

Just to confirm, before saving to DDS you need to squish the resolution to 4096x4096 (or 2048x2048) for use in game

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See, I told ya it was easy. I'm not happy with those exact colours btw

 

@Diablo, did you want to try suggesting HTML colour codes to try there as a base? Keep in mind if they match the turboduck logo exactly then that part of the tduck logo will be invisible. (Waiting for larger/vector logo too). Also you have a PM @ WMD forums.

 

I may have to do a 'paint by numbers' livery to see where it all maps out better

[Eudemon]

I quite like the idea of Serious/Pro for the Squirrel Mafia and Creative/Liberty for the Goat Washing. I'll email you some logos and such today. Anyone else wanting them please PM me and I will send them to you too.
