Creating a carset - Anything I need to know?

Posted by smoglessbutton4 
Hi everyone! I'm thinking of entering the world of modding and creating a carset for GP3-2000 (from scratch, so it's not leeched!)
Is there anything important that I need to know? Would be nice if you could give me some tips as well ;-)

hi,

don´t produce black pixels, they will be shown transparent in game.

You can solve this when you´re work is done with photoshop by using "save for web" and converted them into a 256-gif. during this step the interface will allows you to delete a selected color with one click and replace it with the next best fiting color.

hope that helps,
pirx

Thanks, but I already know how to paint a car without the transparent pixels ;-)

The video here shows a car that I painted. The 'You' in the 'YouTube's initially came out transparent!

Anything else? (Say, when I'm finished and would like other people to be able to download it, etc.) :-)

many perfect cars are already available here at the forum, so why not designing new/updated track-objects?
If you want to make it available for download

upload it to this site's Download section

or if its a picture file upload is straight to the forum thread

really excited someone else has joined our community. PS excellent DP! :D

I intend to create a carset for a series not yet represented on GP3. My first WIP image should be uploaded soon :)

Also thanks for the tip, ipswich2007 :)
