hi,

the side with softpuppet is more interessant than the other one with Grip Ennemy.

I would try to keep some harmony between all the sides of your car, actually each side have very little to do with the other one. To say it clearly, repeat on one side, what stands on the other side.
Gold and black can be something very nice. You should not change the colors.

I would say that you started by the end. Before thinking using some logos or team names, I would advice you to work a bit with primitives. the name of these vinyls says it all.

Here is a vey simple way to add very much to you car. Look at the main lines of you car and use them as a frontier between 2 colors. For instance under this line everything will be totally Black and over this line everything remains gold.

Then see if you can add a stripe all over the car on the roof.

When everything is in place, you place your team logo. If put right, it will looks like less "floating".

But don t give up, you can make it very nice if you keep your hands away from logos at the start of your project.

how did u make the american flag on the ford gt ive been tryin for ever to get something like that on my corvette

for the stripes it s easy. just be careful to start from the CENTER OF THE ROOF, and to always use the same width for the stripes.

for the blue part, I started with some BIG rounded flames in a dark blue color for the blue shadow.
then i put some big blue squares (slightly lighter blue) under the fames.

then i added my stars in an harmonious way.

to add some dynamic i put some of the stars both on the blue part and on the stripes.

and to finish, to add some dephth, I put some small gradients to simulate a shadow on the frontier of the stripes and the blue area.

if you re careful enough, you ll see what i mean on my pict.

hope it will help you.

good luck.

PS: This is average level if you handle this project on the right way.
but it can end up in a nightmare if you don t do things right.

thanks dude that helps alot

I was not totally satisfied with my first work on the Ford Shelby GT500, here is the new one...

hey bill, i have taken everything you have told me into consideration.. i'll be uploading tomorrow...

P.S we need an option to copy one side of the car.. because i did this elaborate thing with the numbers but only one side, lol...

I am looking forward to seeing your car tomorrow.

I agree with you, this lack of symetry function is a pain in the @ss.
here is my personnal trick to help with symetry.

put a race flag on its maximum size on each side of your car. Be sure that it is put exactly on the same place on each side.
keep these 2 vinyls at the bottoms of all the vinyls so you know where they are when you want to remove them.
Use a color that is close to the main paint color, it s easier to work so.

the point is that now you can know use these race flags as helping grids for both vinyls sizes and placements to repeat what is done on one side of your car on the other side.

hope it will make your next creations more accurate and easy.

cheers.

a god amongst men.. but that wouldn't help with the numbers anyway (you will see what i mean), but i'll take it in for future refrence

lol do you see what i mean.. i did the german flag thing on the numbers on one side, but i wasn't bothered spending like 45mins on the other side.. i had planned for the the numbers on either side to be in the colours of the german flag/ with the small ones on the back to be white.. oh well.. Hope you enjoy.. Sorry if you think it fails b/c i didnt finish the other side..

hello Romeil,

there s one trick that impressed me quite a much, it may look simple, but i cannot figure out how you did it ?!?!?

So you will be kind to share your secret with me, how did you manage to make numbers in 3 colors!!!! I have no clue at all on how you did that....

Otherwise, I would say that you should get the same colors on both side of your car.
And I wonder if on both side of your car, you should not always have the number in front of the car always down.

but if it is your first car, you used some very advanced tricks for a beginner, impressive.

here is my S13 again, I was not totally pleased with my first released

lol no this (SL 65) is my second car (first one was the 911 gt3 RS) AND now looking back, i agree with the 6 being at the bottom both times wasn't smart, but i didn't make both of them coloured because it is very time consuming.. Oh, and as for the colours in the numbers, i used primitives (squares and circles for the edges because they are round). Also, you need to use the skew tool to slant your squares and circles because the numbers are slanted.

see i took your advice, if you look back earlier, you say i should use more primitives and that's what i did..

Regards,

Romeil

P.S Beast S13!! i'm uploading a DB9 now

I originally planned to have no logos on this one, but considering i had put numbers on the car to recreate a race car, a few of them would not be out of place

i like the 2 colors you used: Black and Gold. it s something very beautiful when these 2 colors are used together, well according to my taste...

try to put either gold or black color on your glass in the PAINT garage (not vinyls garage)

concerning vinyls:
i am not sure that a space between the gradient and the black color is the best option. In my opinion, but I may be wrong of course, you will give a better feeling of speed if you connect your gradient vinyls directly to the black front and if you leave no space at all between all the gradient vinyls (connect sides and roof together ). To do so, you will surely need some more gradient vinyls.

I think that this simple thing will add much more to your car: In addition of what you already have, try to put some black square Vinyls ALL AROUND your car but fom the very bottom of the car to a maximum 10 cm high, just like I did on my S13, but do it on the back of your car too. I think that will transform your car very much too.

The 9 vinyl at the back seems wrong to me, it would maybe help if you make a kind of registration plate with your 9 inside and a flag for instance. check my cars, I made a lot of different work with registration plates. you will surely find something that can help you.

I am looking forward to seeing the way you will work further with this car. It can be outstanding with a little work and time. i know it.

Good luck
