You can name it how you want, and also install it as a custom car, the only thing you can't do are parameter changes.
Shadow making isn't allowed.

Yes, it's forbidden as it involves parameter changing.

RV Live logos can be found in the apposite topic, in ARTWORK section.

Thanks guys! :D

@burner: I've made a few skins, one can be seen on some of my older RVR records, that's what Skarma called banana, but it's really bad-looking.

I saw Mythic's ZR1 repaint (which is AWESOME!!!) and it says its an 1024x1024 skin. Do we make 256x256 ones for this competition, or bigger size is allowed too?

Then why do I make 256x256? -.-

EDIT:
Well this is my 256x256 one, but now that I know how to make it bigger, I'll work on it a lil' bit more.

In regard to texture size...I have stated before that I believe 512x512 is more than big enough for almost all cases, and after doing that last one for ZR [size0](which I did just because it was a gift and I wanted it to be super cool), I am even more convinced this is the best way to go.

It's true that you do get some extra-crisp detail, but in most cases this just isn't needed as 512x512 does a great job of handling text and various decals at that size. So to me...and may I humbly say I have a fairly trained eye for such things...the difference is just not that big visually. Not only that, but if some of your cars are super-detailed and some are not, then it's going to make for an inconsistent look to your game. So again...just in my opinion...I like to shoot for more of a balance where I have taken most of the 256x256 skins that I have and cleaned those up as best I can considering each car's individual uv mapping, and now I've started making them at 512x512 for any new cars I make for the most part. There are certain kinds of elements that really only work 'right' at larger sizes such as 1-pixel part lines for instance, but I've been able to get very nice results by not using anything larger than 256x256, and using 512x512 gives me nice results for those parts lines, text and decals, so it's all good from where I sit. :D

And here is something else to consider...file sizes.

256x256 = 193k
512x512 = 769k
1024x1024 = 3,073k...or just over 3MB per skin

So that really starts adding up. For someone like me who likes to include several skins with a car, this can quickly add up to a 10MB download for one car. Yikes. :blink:

Balint ~
256x256 is just fine if that is the way you want to go. If however, you do want to make a larger one then just name the 512x512 texture with a .bmo extension and your 256x256 texture with a .bmp extension. This will make it compatible with earlier versions of the game. :)

[size0]And thanks, by the way. :D


EDIT:
And oh yeah...Just in case it wasn't clear, that one I did for ZR is not part of the competition since it doesn't have any RVL branding and I'm just not competing in general. That really just started out as an example for one way to do hood vents. :lol:

EDIT AGAIN:
I just saw your edit with the pic, Balint. That's lookin' quite nice, dude. I really like that orange color and the way you decided to do a little reversal with the colors on the spoiler. Nice job! :TU:

EDIT YET AGAIN:
Here's a little present for you guys to show you 256x256 textures don't have to suck. :D This is the skin for the car on the left up on that logo I made...the RVCC T2 in case you don't have it already. I was going to eventually release this as a repaint and re-tune...and I still might...but for now you can just replace the original texture if you want and that way you'll be stylin' right away. I didn't want some generic file named 'car' floating around so you'll just have to take the 'RVCC_T2_' part out of the file name. :)

[OFFTOPIC @ Mythic]That red skin for the RVCC T2...the very same in the one of the Spring Re-Volt images up there~! Nice!

Also, I'm wondering what's the green one with white stripes.[/OFFTOPIC]

Here ya go. This is one I have already posted, just not on RVZT yet. This is one of my earlier works that I put together for jigebren so I wouldn't say it's up to my current standards in every single way...you will never see a shorter readme from me, for instance...but it's still a fun little car. :D

And oh yeah...the car being green in the logo is just a bit of Photoshop magic performed on the image I used for the carbox. I'm afraid you'll have to settle for purple unless you want to change it yourself. :D And you'll need Iron Bob's aerial pack. Like I said...this was never officially prepared for public release. :lol:

Thanks, drapheric. :)

Nero & Skarma ~
Are you even paying attention? This is directly on the topic of what size to make the skins for this competition...and the fact that they don't have to be 1024x1024 or even 512x512 to look good.

Up to speed now? :)

Since I don't have any motivation to remake my car again, I'll send it over to ZR as it is now. The only thing I still need to do is a 2-min tweak on the rear lights, then it'll be PM'd.

EDIT: I managed to make the 512 one, but it still reduces the 1024 to 512. Do I need an other extension for 1024 ones than .bmo?

Glad you got that figured out, Balint. Feel free to pm me with questions like that...such as how to best resize images...in the future. :) As for the file extensions, here's a list of file names for release...

1024x1024 = .bmn
512x512 = .bmo
256x256 = .bmp
128x128 = .bmq

There's still a few days left to get your entries in so I'm glad you decided to participate. :)

I made an 512x512 one, and it's totally different from that orange one, but it will be a surprise!! :)

That looks quite nice, RV_Passion. I really like that RVL badge you came up with, and also those slots behind the rear window. I am also quite fond of your subtle use of text on said window. You've got a lot of good things goin' on there, dude. Way to go. :TU:

There are a couple of things that I think might help make it really pop, though. :lol:

In regard to your text...does the program you use have any kind of text effects? For instance, in Photoshop there is a button up on that top bar with a T and a curved line on it that let's you access the text effects (Warp Text) when the Text Tool is active. The very first one...Arc...would help you in two different spots.

The first is on the front window visor. I mention this because I noticed the same thing happening on the one I did for ZR. I have since fixed it, but you can see in the image I posted of his car that the same thing is happening on that one. It's kind of subtle, but do you notice how the text kind of looks like it's bending outward at the top? To get that to look more like it's bending around the curvature of the window you can apply an Arc Text Effect and while setting the actual arc part to zero, you would adjust the Vertical Distortion so that the top of the text gets pinched in slightly.

The other instance where this would be useful is on the text you are using on the spoiler. Since the spoiler itself is curved, it would look awfully cool if that text curved along with it. :D

Another humble suggestion would be that if you were to push your overall contrast a little further it would really help to make your car visually 'pop'. Two things would help you accomplish this. The first would be to put something like a white or very dark outline around the dark parts of your stripes and lightning bolts...or you could make those elements either much lighter or a bit darker. Since there isn't a whole lot of room in there for an outline I might be tempted to go with that second suggestion, however.

It's completely up to you whether or not you want to do any of those things. I'm just sharing my thoughts. Once again, great suff, Passion. :)

What I can see of it looks great, Venomxx97. :) It's got a bit a viper flavor that gives it a little bit of extra cool. :D

[size0]So is he going undercover at the racing track? :lol:
