Hi guys! I started creating simple Livery Editing tips videos on youtube for some friends. You can find it here:

Hope some of you guys find them useful. I have been creating liveries for other games like Live for Speed and rFactor so I was pleasantly surprised to find out GT finally incorporated a livery editor.

I'll be posting some of our livery pics here. You can also search for the ones I share online with the search key blue chicken.

Tips:

How to Use Skew
Kill Switches, Extinguisher switches, Clip Arrows and Tow Arrows
How to Match Colors with Logos

New video is up. Just a sample run using a gradient decal.
 
Decal Upload Run through is up. I don't have any SVG tutorials, so this is more of a how to upload and use the decal in game. If you need in depth tutorials there are a lot of great inkscape creation videos from better sources than me.

How to use the Projection Method: Align with Camera. This can be used to project decals on the rear wing.

Hi,

Sorry it took a while to reply. I can do a quick video, but I am really not sure what to do with it as well. Is it supposed to on the grill as an outline?

The stock liveries on both cars have it but every time I try to use it it looks like crap compared to the standard car‘s :lol:
 
New Tutorial Video is up! I'm starting a new series which talks more about designing a livery. These are just basic ones. I know I don't make very technical designs, but these can help you conceptualize and create a livery in less than 15 minutes.
 
Sorry it took a while. Heres a short video on how to get the Vatage grill edge sticker on as well as how to put sticers on the DB11 plates.
 
Thanks for that 👍

For the plate on the DB11 I'd use L1 and the left stick to move the cross tho ;)
 
Part 3 of the Design Series is up!

I've watched all of your help videos and I must say great job. I'm fairly new to creating livery for GT Sport and need lots of help.
I was wonder if I sent you a couple of vector logos I've downloaded and imported in to Inkscape would you be able to show me
how to convert them into SVG files (using Inkscape) so I can then upload them into GT Sport. One of the other problems I'm having is that the files are to big. I keep getting an error message say file is to big. How do I make the file smaller using Inkscape?
