Not up for sale yet, but 10k is an absolute bargain.

it is a bargain mate, i'll give you that. it must take you ages to create each design!

I'll be picking up one when its released, hate the C4's ungodly boring interior, though

GreenMint · 31 Oct 2009 at 16:08

Experimenting with lighting etc..

Anyone know if you can mod the Honda NSX looks? Is there a splitter/spoiler for it? You can't fit them to the NSX-R GT..

Taisan F40 1995 Japan Challenge

Very nice gord.

gord · 31 Oct 2009 at 17:51

Cheers, although I'm really thinking this editor isnt a great improvement.. well.. lots of missed opportunities is what I'm seeing:

Text tool
Add/subtract shapes (this would be the best thing)
Metallic vinyl colours

And whats with some manufacturer decals not loading for other cars? Why isnt the library the same for all?

I know what you mean

I was hoping that the designs you make in the vinyl editor would be grouped as 1 layer once you place them on the car too

like the manufacturer logos already in the game.

My best mate just got this game. He never owned forza 2 so these are his very first designs.

Non metallic colors is a huge pain in the ass when trying to mask shapes off, very surprised that they didn't add the option into this one. I agree the editor is more or less the same as before.

All they've done is add more layers haven't they?

No its the same amount of layers, and i have reached the limit on some of my designs.

A text tool would have been great as would some new shapes to play with.

Also wish you could paint the wheels white, as the ones i've tried just look like the original silver colour.

It could have been much better.

What's your friends GT Zensuji, some great designs there.

That too. Technically my Taisun F40 should have white wheels, but it just doesn't exist..

If we had add/subtract tools then the current primitives could be used to make any shape. The only problem is that you could have unlimited points, which would be exploited and the skins would become unmanageable. But I'm sure they could catch that too..

Love this car...

Me too, and what a fabulous exhaust note it has.

Great pic too.

my latest ride...

Ford Shelby Mustang GT500, with four wheel drive.....

Based on a North American P51-D Mustang, nicknamed Ferocious Frankie, tail number 413704. Original plane is this:

Before anyone picks up on it, no I'm not using the same font as on the plane...

Please be nice when criticising my art.... I'm not a brilliant painter....

Shamikebab · 31 Oct 2009 at 20:36

I really like that quicksilver, quite an original design.

He just told me he's not finsihed the judge dread...that's just a work in progress. Judging by his first efforts I'm expecting great things from him.

his GT is "DazAutomatik"

Cant believe I've still not bought this game

Fit Advan wheels which you can give a bit of colour too

I'm speechless... Surely I'm missing something here, but are all of these designs really made from the basic geometric shapes I've seen in videos and what not?

They all look amazing, I'd love to have a go so much but I have a horrible feeling it would be so incredible hard.
