@Craig Patteson
Are you exporting the DDS as DXT1? This makes the skin REALLY shiny. You need to export it as DXT5

 

[Franklin Stegink]

@Tim Ling

Strange.

I see them.

BC3/DXT5
BC3nm/DXT5nm
RXGB (DXT5)
Alpha Exponment (DXT5)
YCoCg (DXT5)
YCoCg scaled (DXT5

Pretty sure its BC3/DXT5, and you need to generate the mipmaps, as this gives the various Levels Of Detail (LOD's) the game uses depending on how distant your car is from another. 5 mipmaps will do

[Craig Patteson]

If someone has the time, I'd be very grateful if someone could make my skin, I have all of the ideas I want, it's a very simple design, I just don't have the dexterity in gimp/psp to realize it. PM me if you're interested!

BTW Craig that is a very touching design so well done, it doesn't look half bad either.

Have you ever thought, "I wish there were more brands in this series"?

I did an experiment today in Photoshop. 2015 Passat anyone?

 

[Tim Ling]

Still some work to be done, but almost there

How do I get rid of the "Algar" on the front grill BTW?

How do I get rid of the "Algar" on the front grill BTW?

The grill file is in with the template files:

chev_ext_glass.psd or pug_ext_glass.psd

Load into the image editor of choice, change the details (race numbers, name) export as DXT and replace the relevant dds file in the cars' folder.

 

[Tim Ling]

Ahhh, I never touched the glass files, thanks @Andrew Harper

Ahhh, I never touched the glass files, thanks @Andrew Harper

No problem, the only thing that has me stumped at the moment is the numbers are going almost transparent when I change them and save the file again, I can see the separate layer with a copy of the numbers on it further up in the layer order. Minor glitch, need to redo and test again.
