Does anybody have some tips and suggestions to churn out skins faster? I notice some of you guys can really pump them out but these take ages for me.

be single

don't work

sit infornt paint.net for 14 hours a day




this is the only way to churn them out quicker it's just a time thing

after 70 skin's i can do them quicker as i am used to the interface e.t.c but even after streamlining how you work and learning new things to reduce time, it still takes ages

there are other ways of skinning aswell like in blender but i havent gone down that avenue as i dont want to get involved with blender but maybe this is quicker once you get used to it i have no idea


also very dependant on how good the UV map is, this can add hours or even day's if its a bad map

Hello guys, does anyone know if there are modpacks with WSC cars of the later seasons? Like the 1992 WSC championship?

The 1990-1992 final years of the Group C era is auch an under-represented era in sim racing.

The gtsupreme mods are all that really exist, and the quality of those would sadly test even the most ardent of fans.

Here's hoping for an eventual XJR-14, Peugeot 905, Mercedes C11, Toyota TS010 and a final Porsche 962 variant, from the likes of RSS or VRC, as a pack of these cars would be incredible.

I think RSS hinted at possibly the Jaguar XJR-12(1990) being in the pipeline.

Speaking of, I refurbished some of these cars with 4K skins but they're still rough asf. Should've never been converted to AC lol

Yeah, they look okay from the outside and from afar, but once you get closer and into the cockpits… yikes.

Hey Guys, does someone here have this mod? https://www.patreon.com/posts/btcc-..._campaign=postshare_fan&utm_content=web_share

Hello fellas, Recently found out that Mr steal yo mods for profit (FSR) put out an E36 Super touring mod with an full working interior. It's just the pm3dm mod with an interior from somewhere i don't know. However the entire body mapping has been changed so you can't put any of the skins off the PM3DM version onto it.


I dont suppose there is anyone in here that could maybe see if it's possible to put the interior into the normal PM3DM version instead? Since there is so many skins already made for that one and chances are absolutely 0 that anyone is doing stuff for this one.






Link for the mod, It's not his anyways and it's not encrypted.

Hey guys,

was trying to make a 1966 race at willow springs according from the Cal Club Region SCCA organiser. You know, a lil later than the one featured in the Le Mans movie. The entry list from that race

Anyway, i cannot find a proper Ford Falcon Sprint. I found a "thing" from sim dream but i cannot seriously race against this nor recommend it to be downloaded.

Do you guys know of a proper version of this awesome looking piece of history?

I'll be using the lotus 23 from Lore's vintage emporium, but i'm pretty sure i've seen another version in the thread. What would be the best availavble in your opinion?

And then, i'd still be missing the Triumph TR4 (again, there's one from Sim dream but i'm getting tired of trying. Let me know if it's a great one lol).

I know for the sake of challenge i'll add a 65 mustang and a bunch of Bazza TCL/ACL but if i could discover new gems i'd be happy.

thanks!

@maximeerkat
I only use paint.net to save as a .dds file. I find it to not be very user friendly as it's really very limited. But that could just be that I've used Paint Shop Pro for many versions/years, (since Nascar Racing 3) to make skins. There I make all the graphics on different layers, merge, copy and paste to paint.net to save as .dds in game. And yes it can totally wreck your Saturday sometimes!

This is too right!!! take your time becoming familiar with the tools you are using, and plenty of trial & error. Also learn some keyboard-shortcuts with Windows & Apps, as your motor-skills (typing) can be way faster than your hand/mouse coordination.

As an example, this particular livery has taken just over 6hrs to reach this level of quality (not all at once) - take breaks, review your work at intervals, and measure against your desired outcome (mind-mapping-process).

Afterwards, place the livery in-game and review again, and again until you reach your desired goal. I've been skinning for just over 2-3yrs, and always learning something new.

Best endeavours... 👍

Personally, two vital shortcuts for me are: CTR+Z (undo) & CTR+Y (re-do). The SHIFT, ALT & CTR keys will in time become your best-buds on the keyboard.

Feel free to 'LIKE' or otherwise with these results/effort.

p.s. Really pleased to see so many other modders getting involved with the many mods that are been shared - too many to list, but you know who you are... Thank you ALL!

Certainly worth the effort installing, looks a lot better/refined (triple monitor setup, can't comment for VR).
Thanks 👍

Much appreciated my friend and thank you for all your assistance!

Which cars

I guess he means the other Tommy78 cars...

Small update to my rj_imola_2024 track. If this didn't bother you then you can skip this. This is not the full track but just the files you need to replace. Just drag the contents folder to the root 'assettocorsa' directory and overwrite when it asks. If it causes any issues (which it shouldn't), then download the full track over again because the full mod includes these changes.

-- Fixed the overly dark hillside spectator seats caused by weird shadowing on two parts of the track.

For me there is no quick way if you want to have quality skins. There are certainly a lot of cars which have been converted including skins from other games like rfactor or gtr2. Those skins might look good in a big field of cars, but not if you really look at them in detail.

For me the use of Substance Painter was a game changer. After getting used to skinning in 3D my process is much quicker. The most time consuming part is to create 2D stickers in Gimp and of course the process of creating pngs and compressing to dds (might be only me, but I always forget little things which I find out about only last minute when the skin is viewed in CM.)

Last but not least organisation of your resources is very important. I have very well organized folders for (models, maps, stickers, extensions, photos........)

But in the end it is not about beeing fast, it is about having fun with our passion.

 

[shi]

I have recently started using Paint Shop, which was added to the CSP.
Install it from the App Shelf in the in-game menu.
To increase the resolution of the skin to 4K, open Paintshop.lua in assettocorsa\apps\lua\Paintshop and change 2048 to 4096 on lines 16 and 33.
(I don't know if this is the right way, but it works for me)

I added the lods from this mod, and added the redesigned skins pack for this, unfortunately, the folder was renamed.

Also in VR this transforms it into a high quality mod. Many thanks!

 

[timetoo22]

Hi regards skinning i use blender mainly, just love working in it far more pleasurable than doing 2D. Although i chop and change as required. Reminds me of Forza paint shop in that you can see it 'live' in 3D.

 

[tonupboy]

Did somebody know what setting causes the transparent undercarshadow?
Whas it updating ambient shadows in ContentManager?

I'm really excited about these mods getting some love, they are generally good quality, but lack just that final touch like this.

I think the latest BMW 635 model is partly encrypted, but the data isn't, and with the proper templates it can be turned around like the others.

I don't really understand why these mods have any encryption at all.
They're rips, and they're free.
What is being protected here apart from things that might need changing and improving?

Ignore, I thought we were taking about different cars.

Are you sure they are rips? Are you thinking of the correct mod as these are Tommy78 paid not free?

I'm no expert but I always assumed they are scratch made as he uploads WIP of the models in the months prior to the release on Facebook and Discord, wireframes and partially constructed as they gradually get built up.

Sorry, thought we were talking about different DTM cars.
Yes, Tommy's are scratch-made AFAIK.
