As some of you might have noticed, there are NO templates released for GTR evolution.
Thoughts have been that people have paid good money for their logos on the Simbin cars.
I dunno.
People have paid good money for their logos on WTCC cars aswell.

I know that there are some templates in NO-GRIP, but I will not use them as they are not official.

When someone knows anything then please post in here.
I am dying to make the Aston DBR9 as it should be.
GT-class british racing green. I mean, how can you have a DBR9 GT and NO BRG skins????

Use the unofficial one, mate.

Even if I wanted to I cannot as it is not made of the DBR9 yet.
But I can "DDS-paint" I guess.

There's one here. Is that the right one?

Oops... that's for the GTR2 one! Might work though, try overlaying the DDS file and see how they match up.

Hmm thats a good idea. I will check that

Templates are being prepared, it will take a while before everything is ready for release. Best estimate would be in two weeks time from now all the templates have been released.

Er ist eine Konvertierung aus rFactor mit Permission von EdoG.
It is a conversion from rFactor with permission of EdoG.

Does it mean then we can create templates for every car with that?

Hope they release tho official asap.

there is many ways to paint cars. You can take the dds file from the game and paint directly on it, but it is much more time consuming and easier to make mistakes.
Best way is to wait for official release and use original templates.

Not to mention it completely fucks up shading and dirt making the cars look really bad to start with.

[SJ]Byron · « **Reply #10 on:** September 18, 2008, 11:45:30 am »

Well... if you use multiply, overlay and other layer styles for your paint layers, you can do a decent enough job without losing the shading and such.

Where do you get the dds files for GTR evo though? I don't seem to have the files locally.

Hmmm. never thought about gtr evo m8.
I was talking in general here.
Have not even looked for them.
What I was thinking was that it is so easy(compared to other games) to skin for RACE07 that I did not wanna screw up stuff with converted and un-original templates, and so I wait for the originals release.

I would never even consider painting on .dds!
Too much trouble, limits your creativity, and still the result cant be close to optimal!

Hehe. Thanks.

Yeah. Photoshop here. I've never tried Gimp, but I'd always recommend taking the time to learn the basics of Photoshop.
