Forza Motorsport 2 Car and Skins show off thread.

Cool, I know if I am offline for a couple of days I get withdrawal :D
No hurry for the design, just wondered were you went was all, as hadnt seen you post on here or about on XBL at all, now I know why :)
 
My Jamiroquai themed Enzo....

Here's my 2nd ever car. Fully tuned / upgraded. (Bought the game yesterday! :P )

Here's my first car, a friend tuned it and payed for max upgrades, U class Corrado. (0-60 in about 2.2 seconds, 0-100mph in just under 5 seconds). Well over 200 top end.

Vogon, just been laying the outlines etc for the KP drawing you sent, and starting to work on the shading for her now, so here's a WIP pic, so you know how its going...

Thats looking great :)
Must have taken you a fair bit of time so far ?
The trousers I assume are being shaded thats why they are not the light khaki colour yet ?

/ Vogon ducks from ljt's controller thrown his direction :D

I have been doing the BP ultimate /Castrol rally livery for the Focus as the ones I have seen in auctions didnt look quite right to me, (benefits of having a nice slot car model to hand) on and off today.
I now have the sides and the rear done and thats taken me nearly 4 actual hours so far, and thats pretty much basic shapes and lettering :rolleyes:
 
apart from the missing left arm, this is how KP is getting along since the last, once i've finished the arm then I'll work on Shego.

With regard to the trouser colour, i've racked my brain trying to match the colour in the original picture to no avail, i have left it as is for now as it was stopping me progressing with the rest of the pic lol, I will have another crack at the colour once i've done a bit more, but if you come up with an idea on how to get it, then drop me a e-mail.

the Focus WRC wouldn't be this one would it? if so then its one I created a fair while back if you want it to help you create yours?

Pretty much except mine is the number 3 car.
The ones I have seen on AH didnt look as good as that, otherwise I might not have bothered.
The only real difference is I have done the BF Goodrich logo around the arch as per my model, and plain white text on the rear bumper.

I am not 100% happy with the bp spikey circle on mine, but ce la vie ;)
Its hard to tell on those pics, but it looks like you used a similar method for that part as me :)

I have just the front bumper and top to do.

Trust you to have done it :p

Re the colour .... I found on a couple of cars were I couldnt get the right shade from the colour cell, (for the yellow/green on the focus front for example) that overlaying the same shape with a copy in a different colour and playing with transparency to mix the shade worked, but you already know that and it doesn't work so well if you have overlays in the shapes, which I imagine there are plenty of in KP's trousers.

I had been looking for a good unlocked red bull logo/text to do another car with, so if you have one, or know were I can get one, that would be handy, its beyond my patience and abilities :p

I did it with that outline of the sun in green, then a yellow gradient circle, then a white gradient circle if i remember right.

Yeah, as you know regarding gradients etc, as soon as they overlap, especially if they anything less than 1.0 in transparency, you get a darker bit where they overlap.

I really wish they had put a colour slider in, even like the one in paint, so you can manipulate each colour of the palette.

Unfortunately I dont have/ or know of a red bull logo i'm afraid.
 
The Focus is done :)
I didn't use the same shape you referred to for the bp star ljt, so I re-did it with the one you suggested, never thought to look in that area for some reason ... looks much better now, thanks :)
Pity the forza jpeg system is poor, but you get the idea:

spot on mate, looking really good! I like the way you bent the bf goodrich around the rear wheel arches, looks a lot better.

Only thing I can see if you've put and "i" in bp ultmate, the logo doesnt have an "i" in, just a dot above the first part of them "m"
 
ah well there would be a good reason for that .... I didn't look properly :rolleyes: I actually had to look twice at the model too see it after you mentioned it !
Will rectify that :) might be too late for the one currently on auctions unless I get there before it gets sold :o
 
I would prefer to keep the paint locked, so add me to your friends list.
Then when you are online, get on coms too me ( I will be on tonight, after 7.30 ish) and I will put it up for you to buy straight away for 20K before someone gets it, you will not be out of pocket as the car and parts will be at least 25k in value :)
I do have to fix the lettering mistake ljt pointed out, but that shouldn't take long.
