Message: [QUOTE="redhed17, post: 12710884, member: 25697"] Firstly, I don’t care if the need for moderators costs PD money, as they, and Sony, are making a ****load of cash. :rolleyes: To pay some people to moderate is peanuts, and you would think that some of it would be automated to flag up a lot of questionable content, and you also have people reporting stuff. For me, the livery editor brings a lot to a game that is not that much without the online racing element, which I don’t do. The liveries I have tried to make have been mostly original, although in that I mean not a replica. I’m not saying that they are not like anyone else, because I am using mostly ‘simplish’ designs with well known brands, they can sometimes unwittingly look similar to others designs. But do I care? No, because I did mine, and it makes each car/design special for me. If I put them online (I don't put them all online, just the one's I am most happy with) and people decide to use them, (or the decals I have uploaded) then you’re welcome, and I take it as a compliment. :) I have tried doing a couple of replicas of cars that have caught my eye from the last couple of years from Bathhurst as a challenge to try and get something as exact as possible. Whilst these were not famous, and / or historic designs, I was still surprised to see others had done the same thing. Part of the challenge was to track down pics of the cars from various angles, which can be harder with less well known designs. As long as I enjoyed doing it, no one needs to like or use it. It takes a fraction of a second to scroll past it. ;) I have also done a few design for a Youtuber, with the odd one being used, which was nice to see when it used them in a stream. :D I have no desire to use other people’s liveries, though I like to look at what other people are doing with the same program I am using. For those that don’t want to, or can’t produce their own content, is trying the odd search term and scrolling through some pages that hard compared to the time to actually create your own content! I’m not saying that there shouldn’t be improvements, but a lot of the search functionality is reliant on people tagging correctly as people have said. If you can't be bothered to take more than 5 mins searching for something that catches your eye, well no searching with the current method of people uploading, missing or inaccurate tags is going to be that quick any time soon imho. I like the idea of certain decals to be sorted and available for certain cars as in real life designs, but not to be only put in preset locations, as the cars would have in real life, but I think that if PD had the rights to do that, they would already be available in the editor in the list of real company decals. As for having a simplified editor with presets, I think that could lead to a lot of similar looking ‘basic’ designs. I don’t want the idea of limiting features to enter PD’s thinking though, as it is not as if it is that hard to change the colour of a car, add stripes and few decals.It could literally take 5 mins. I want features added to enhance the livery editor to enable more intricate and individual designs. To be able to colour elements, shapes and decals, with custom paint colours. To invert a decal to make it work as mask, rather than relying on someone uploading a mask version of a decal you may want to use. It is sometimes nice to have a mask allowing through the underlying colour of the car, especially if that is a special colour as chrome, pearlescent or whatever, as the special colours can’t be used to paint a decal or shape as mentioned above. Being able to easily sort the library of decals, which can add up to 1000 to go through, to quickly find stuff. Being able to copy elements from front to roof, or side to back etc, rather than just one side to the other. To be able to group elements together to move as one, or copy to another part of the car as one. The option to a stroke (colour outline) of a decal or shape, as to do this effect atm can use up multiple copies below the main decal/shape to get the same effect, using up valuable memory. The main thing I want is any decals I add to my library saved to my PS4 so as to get past the problem of decals disappearing when the original uploader deletes the decal or their account, which can lead to a design you spent possibly hours over suddenly losing elements. This will only get worse as time goes on a GT Sport users move on to other games. [/QUOTE]
