ACC - The definitive custom livery guide

[LynxSec]

This guide is written so that basically anyone could follow it, it's very detailed and basic even though the process of creating liveries is fairly advanced, atleast for a normal user.
Hopefully, this guide will give you the tools and understanding you need, so that you can get creative and create your own liveries. There will possibly be a part two in the future with some more advanced concepts.

I will cover different methods of working with liveries so that you hopefully at the end of the guide will get a good understanding of how to approach livery creation by yourself.

Since the 1.8 update of ACC, custom liveries are fixed compared to previous version that caused a lagspike when a driver joined a server with a custom livery.

The big change is that the game will now create .dds files from .png files.
What caused the issues in the previous versions of ACC was that each and every .png file had to be loaded by all clients.

You can find the guide here.

PS: Please let me know if there is anything that is in need of changing.

Thanks for the link. I would like to try this some day and this seems like a clear tutorial for a graphics editor n00b like myself.
