Been having ago with Photoshop 7 and come up with this, mainly using the back ground eraser tool, takes a while but looks pretty good i think for a first attempt.... Thanks again for all the help and watch this space for the flood of decals....lol Vivadave169....

Still having problems here, whatever i do i always have background, the pics i have have white backgrounds, and cannot seem to highlight just the pic, like on the decal sheets with the gray and white squares on them, you can just cut out any decal, doesnt have to be perfect but when pasted onto template it is perfect with no background.... Will it be easier using Photoshop for this? if so what version? Any help would be great, or you have the time add me on msn vivaarriva1969@hotmail.com Example.... Vivadave169....

I was just wondering the easest way to create decal sheets in Paint Shop Pro 7, i know its easy to find various pics that can be used, is it just a matter of pasting tham on a blank canvas, and cutting them out as needed? Some decals are easy to cut out, and others you have to cut out perfectly to avoid having any back ground on it, ideally i would prefer to make some sheets that are easy to cut out, unless theres an easier way other try to cut it out perfectly.... Any help would be great.... Vivadave169....

Thanks for the 3D file erik.... The car in question is indeed an Elite Evo F2, should have delete them before i saved.... I'll see if i can paint over the words, but decals are there too so maybe not, if not then i'll have to start again, lesson learned.... Cheers guys.... Vivadave169....

After saving the skin i have done, the template still has the labels on it ie infield, crowd, etc and in the layers menu the layer you need to delete to get rid of these is gone, how do you delete the labels when its no longer in the layers menu? Plus is anyone willing to share the Elite Evo 3D file please? Cheers for any help.... Vivadave169....

Fantastic skin there m8.... Vivadave169....

Looking good as ever m8.... Keep us updated.... Vivadave169....

Have you put the TGA file in the same folder as your converter? I put my on my desk top Vivadave169....

Done a bit of searching for ya and found a few on ebay, as long as you dont mind buying from the USA plus there cheap as well.... Hope this helps.... http://video-games.search.ebay.com/World-o...Q20CarsQQsotrZ2 Vivadave....

On the layers menu, one of them will be the labels, so you have to locate the correct one and delete that layer to remove the labels.... The hue saturation etc works fine, just play around with each of them till you find the colour your looking for, cos a little movement can change the colour quite a bit.... Hope that helps m8 Vivadave169....

Sorted.... Vivadave169....

Post your TGA and i'll do it for ya.... Vivadave169....

Mmmmmmmm clicked a few things b4 you replied so got this....to solid now lol.... But a little progress.... Vivadave169....

Wheres the switch to 'face sub-object' mode? lol Cheers again Nick.... Vivadave169....

Oh Gawd, getting fustrated with this, but not gonna give up, there must be something minor i'm missing here, or something not selected or checked right.... Heres 3 pics of what i see when i have plotted, make the faces and extruded, still doesnt look a solid object like in nicks guide.... I am enjoying this really lol Any help please would be great so i can move on to the next step.... Here goes.... Vivadave169....

Yes it was that Erik bloke, top man.... Vivadave169....

Just a quick update on my progress.... Got the 3D box sorted now.... Just my car looks inside out lol.... Getting there little by little.... Vivasdave169....

Hi again Nick, i'm improving on following the shape of the car, and can extrude the main part of the car ok, its when i come to the ChamferBox bit and fitting it into the window, my box is flat and not 3D like yours, so making it imposible to fit in the rear window. Any help please.... I'm working on a MK1 fiesta, nice and square, plus i used to own one years ago.... Vivadave169....

Deffo m8 go for it, looking very good.... i'm trying to learn the ropes of making models, fun to learn but far far from easy lol.... Great Stuff.... Vivadave169....

Any chance you can upload your decal sheet please.... Vivadave169....

Have you added the tutorial to your site yet Daz as i cant find it.... Cheers m8.... Vivadave169....

Cheers again Nick, so whats the easiest way to select each part that need to be extruded, ie selecting just the outside of the model? rather than the complete model which seems to happen.... Cheers again M8.... Vivadave169....

Pointers please, i wanna move on to the next step and need your expert advice.... Cheers.... Vivadave169....

Small steps eh.... Learning a bit more today, extruding, do you + or - to extrude, i used the + to get what you can see, cutting the windows out looks tricky to do.... Looks nothing like the car in the photo as yet BMW 325i MTec, but work in progess.... Any comments or tips Nick (or anyone).... Vivadave169....

Cheers for that Nick, yes, as i said a long way to go yet and i'll keep practising till i get something decent.... Is the car i have choosen ok in your opinion? and the pic of the car ok? Can you use different cars for the same model as long as the car is identical the make and model? Cheers.... Vivadave169....
