2017 RD Touring Car Championship (Automobilista)

Why are they so shiny, trying to use a deep blue and it looks almost bright

The alpha channel for the template on this car is quite light, which is why it appears so shiny. Easiest way I've found to fix this is by going into the alpha channel (by default in Photoshop the channels tab is next to the layers tab) and adjusting the brightness of the channel. For reference a white alpha channel will give a chrome look and a black alpha channel will give a matte look.

And if I'm on GIMP?

Can we get a pace guide for:
Hack
Amateur
Pro
Alien

A pace guide? You mean like the laptimes that those skill levels will achieve?
We have live timing available, so check the fastest laps and that should give you an indication of the pace.

However, take those laptimes with a grain of salt as often many of them will be set after several drivers have been on the server for a while and the track will be significantly quicker than it's normal starting condition.

We won't know what the true pace is until the official qualifying session starts

And if I'm on GIMP?

This step should reduce the shininess.

'Right click on the now solitary layer and select Add Layer Mask. Select the alpha channel included with the livery.'

 

[Chris]

yep, Just the one absence. So we should be able to claw back the points we throw away by running our 2nd choice driver.

If you are going to be getting a sub to drive for you, please let me know ASAP.

 

[Aidan Keranen]

Cool, I'll get onto that then.
But I guess the bigger problem now is that this is what I see in game as opposed to the showroom, which comes out correctly.

when it should look more like this (as a WIP)

 

[Aidan Keranen]

Found it, needed to generate mipmaps

Round 1 is now less than one week away and the skin submission deadline is this Wednesday. So far I have only received skins from a handful of drivers. If you don't submit a skin before the cutoff time, then you will be assigned a generic RD skin until you can submit a skin.

It is okay as you've let me know early, and you've provided a substitute driver
But why no absence from the other league, and race in this one instead? We not good enough for ya?

@Sniper @Casper @Ashley Cowan @Jack Hope you guys like it!

Lol thanks Chris, you guys are plenty good enough, but sometimes tough choices have to be made

So niiiiice. Cheers sun

 

[Sam Smith]

Awesome lighting! Nice job @Sun Levi

 

[Ashley Cowan]

@Sun Levi, Yeah, the first thing I thought was Lightning McQueen's Ka-Chow.
They look great. Very professional looking. All the little signs are just awesome. Man that is so good.

 

[Ashley Cowan]

All these skins are the best. I missed all the TSR shenanigans and obviously Stiggy's ROOZ work is just above and beyond.
