Thanks Tobi. Had to read while I was on PS but it makes sense now, cheers!

upgraded account, thinking of joining, is there any way to spectate the race?

Unfortunately not. There's no spectator function in AC. Additionally there will also not be a Live stream of the race as Australian upload speeds are too slow to facilitate a race broadcast.

However, there will be a round-by-round written recap of all the action.

that's a shame, thanks for letting me know.

I've been talking to Lorenzo, and the opportunity (great car, tracks) is too great to miss even if I have to wake up at 4AM. I'll just fill up on coffee and deal with it. Signing up and I can't wait for it...

Great stuff Dan
The entry list is full, so I'll place you on the reserves list, so if there's ever absences then the reserves will be contacted to fill in

 

[Bogman]

Thank you, Chris. How far in advance of race day would we know if there are any vacancies?

When people are reporting their absences it has to be before 24 hours to the commencement of the booking time, so we'll try and contact you ASAP.

Some will report their absence weeks/months in advance, so for R2 we already have 1 confirmed absence.

I was poking around with doing something last night and It was a pain in the ass trying to figure out what I want to do and then trying to get it done in Photoshop . I was stupidly trying to do some interesting thing around the tip of the nose of the car, but it is nearly impossible to get things lined up. The worst of all was trying to follow a contour and getting neat lines because the 2D skin gets stretched and warped when applied to a 3D model.

BTW, be careful on some spots because some of the skin areas are not truly horizontal where you think they might be.

Definitely a work in progress....May need to change some colors so it doesn't look too much like Rolf's skin

After having to start from scratch again, I made something similar. Still not finished yet as I want to refine it a bit but still working on finding out how haha.

If anyone is looking for a teammate, drop me a PM. Don't really bring that much to the table, but would be better than just racing alone

Bull fred, your flying in this car at the moment

Man, there are some talented people around here.

I've never developed a skin before - lack the talent, but more importantly I lack the patience. If I were to attempt any of this, where would I find the template?

Alternatively, if someone is willing, out of the kindness of their heart, to help me with something I would greatly appreciate it. I'm a big Alonso fan and his black Minardi livery was quite nice. I wish I could recreate something like that. I will read the tutorial and see if I should even dare attempt. In any case, I can always use the RD skin. Looks nice.
Thanks.

edit: first step completed. I have the template. We shall see what happens next

 

[Jeremy Talbot]

The finished product. Had a change of paint scheme and a few sponsor changes but mostly the same otherwise.

 

[Tony]

Team APIA all the way. Was fun learning photoshop and spending half my life doing this damm skin!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jeremy Talbot]

Nice Tony!

@Sniper how did you change the colour of the rims? Is there a template or did you just mod the dds files?

I stole the rim.dds and the blured rim.dds from another car that had those files and directly edited them.

Argh damn! I missed out last time too
