Skin Pack & Custom Helmets

[Chris]

All things skins!
Use this thread to discuss and share your masterpieces with fellow league racers and the community

Skin Pack Download: The link to the finished skin pack will be placed in this post once the teams and drivers have been sorted.

Helmet PSD Download: HERE

Please do not:

1. Delete, move or alter the Thrustmaster logo in any way shape or form.
2. Have any trademarked logos as part of your design without the written consent of the company's logo(s) you've used.
3. Place any explicit photos or graphics on the helmet.
4. Submit them to me until the Pre-Season Qually is completed and finalised with driver numbers issued.

You are also allowed to create your own style and/or font of driver number, so long as it is clearly visible (please use the font size that the text layer uses), and does not clash with the above four points.

If you are unsure as to how to create a custom helmet livery, then you can try contacting a skin modder and ask for their services, or you can use the generic helmets that I have created for each team that will be provided in the finished skin pack for those that haven't designed a custom one

Looking forward to seeing some great designs, so get painting!

A few WIP's of my helmet so far, probably about 95% finished I'd say.
My first try at skinning a helmet, so be nice

Nice Chris.
Hey my boss at work is looking to do my helmet. How do you look at a preview of the result? Is there a forum post somewhere that explains how to do the skin etc??

I'm sure there is a rendering program that lets you see what it'll look like quicker than having to boot the game each time, but unfortunately my skinning knowledge is highly limited, so I wouldn't have a clue mate.

With this you can see it in 3D. Think you need Photoshop CS5 or higher though

There's also a 3ds file included for the helmets, which you can import e.g. in zmodeler. To see the texture on it, you have to save it as tga and assign it to RT_Casco_86 in the Material editor.

Previews of my helmet, will probably make some more tiny adjustments.

Nice design guys
Here's a skinning guide for beginners

I know a thing or two about skinning so if any of you guys need any help I'm here!

Here's mine, still WIP. Don't have any ideas for the top part yet

so the bottom of the number faces towards the front of the car then?

 

[Ashley Cowan]

More work required but Red Cow Racing is taking shape!

 

[Jamie]

@Chris Stacey when do you want the helmet skin by?? (latest possible)

 

[Chris]

10th of June. That way I'll have some time to package everything together before the first race on June 13th.

Again, make sure you wait until your driver number has been assigned, otherwise chances are you'll put the wrong number on your helmet

 

[Chris]

so the bottom of the number faces towards the front of the car then?

Nope, doesn't have to face forwards, but it should be either forwards or backwards, please not left or right lol.
Facing backwards will be more useful for the onboard camera shots, but won't be as good for the trackside cameras.

 

[Sun Levi]

Finished!

 

[Chris]

That's one badass helmet dude! Awesome work!

 

[Ashley Cowan]

And who are all the names Harshman...
Previous victims?

 

[Sun Levi]

LOL those names are people who are apart of clubs I'm in, 184Garage & MonkeyBoyzClub and just so you know @Chris Stacey all the logos on there are fictional

@Casper I know the Casper image might have to go due to the rules but I just made this for fun hahaha only took me like 10 min You can have it if you want!

 

[Chris]

Not sure about that one, but it's hilarious!
Not sure if the word "Casper" is TM'd or if the ghost is.

 

[Sun Levi]

Haha, time to make a helmet for @Jack with a quote saying "TURNN YOU B**** !!
