um i ahve a question about these templates. What do u save them as? dds?... What bin does it go in textures.bin, vinyls.bin, or geometry.bin? or is there a turtorial or something that tells how to do this type of thing for the full body templates?

by the way im using the skyline one and when i opened it it was saved as a psd.

Thanks,
MadDawg

the templates are just guide lines for making a vinyl. I always use a template because it's easy to lacota where is what on the car. And when i think the car is done i delete the layers of the template. Sometimes i even make a template vinyl and import it in the game so u see where everthing is at.

oh, well that stinks. i have one all setup the way i like it and stuff and now i can't even put it on. that really sucks lol. i have it set so its like a full body vinyle/ unique vinyle thing but using the teamplte thing. so your saying i would have to make each one of the pics as a seperate vinyle or something? b/c if i did that how would i know how to make it so each pic shows up in the right spot? well im confused now i thought i was going to be able to make these things but it turns out its going to be even harder then i thought. well heres a pic of what i was working i have a few like this but with differnet characters from tv shows.

No you did fine but now you need to delete the layers with the grey lines and the layer with the white(atleast if you don't want a white car al the time. Then flatten the image save ass example SKYLINE_CUSTOM1.dds
Then you must make the pics of bart white select a layer with a bart pic and go to layer/layerstyle/coloroverlay. And choose white. You must make the letters white too. When you have don that flatten and save as SKYLINE_CUSTOM1_MASK.dds

Are you using photoshop? If so its best too make every new thing in a new layer. Never make on the same layer cause if you firetruck up it's sometimes hard to edit it.To view layers go to Window/layers well the template was a psd and a psd file is always saved in layers so it is smart when you are finished too safe as psd so you can always edit it.

Wel i don't use painshop but its almost the same as photoshop but i think that in paintshop pro must be something like layers. Maybe search on google for more info about paintshop

MadDawg · Post by **MadDawg** » 26 Jul 2004, 20:21

MadDawg · Post by **MadDawg** » 27 Jul 2004, 03:36

Hey i was able to delete all of the layers except one but i was able to make a vinyle and here it is my first ever that worked. u will most likely see waht layer im talking about when u look at it(wiretemplate layer.)

A bit of editing and i think it will look perfect by the way the pics on there arent supposed to be that bluish color got to fidle with that to try to change it back to normal lol.
