Following the successful body paintjob project we did for the C7 GT3 body, we now invite our members with advanced Photoshop skills to start working on paintjobs for the Model 11 GT3 body.
The required files are available from:
Max 3DS model: https://www.vrcworld.com/static/model11_GT3_max.rar
Photoshop template: https://www.vrcworld.com/static/model11_GT3_template.rar
I suggest you create a copy of these files so you always have the original to turn back to.
Once you have created your paintjob you must save your design as a 1024x1024 pixel jpg called 'gt3_diff.jpg'
You can view your design with the free Autodesk 3D viewer (browser based) which can be downloaded from https://viewer.autodesk.com/.
You must create an account in order to use this viewer. The 'alpha' (used for holes and wheel arches) and the opacity (windscreens) aren't perfect, you should ignore that and not try to improve that. In the actual model in VRC it will be OK.
Note by our 3D graphics designer Tony West:
The psd (Photoshop template) has been prepared to match as close as possible the C7. It will be a little harder this time because for the C7 you could just put any picture you liked in and it would all match up but here if you want a design to wrap around you will have to line it up themselves. If you have any questions, just post them here or in the forum.
The Autodesk viewer will ask you to upload the file set needed for the viewer. Save these files in a separate folder.
To see your own 'paintjob' you must replace file 'gt3_diff.jpg' with your own design but use the same file name.
When you are satisfied with the design take some screenshots (top-right) and download these screenshots. You can show your design in the new foum: http://www.vrcworld.com/forums/posts.aspx?topic=209244&opt=1D1
A complete set of pody paintjobs consists of 8 different designs or color variations, up to you.
Once you have a set of 8 put them in 1 jpg file, size 4096 px wide and 2048 pix high, so 2 rows of 4.
Save that file with your own name and project, for example: 'robert jones model11 GT3.jpg' and send the image to me using www.wetransfer.com address to pieter@virtualrc.com
I will then complete the job, check the files and designs and compile the project to become a new body. Last step will be releasing it to our live servers.
Look forward to some great designs!
Pieter
