Gran Turismo 7 Livery Editor - General Discussion Thread

Looking for some tips from the pros here: how do you get a multi-colour gradient fade across a car? I attempted an alternative livery for Spoon Sports last night using a yellow base with blue fade decal and the transition area just goes light blue/white. I was expecting a green patch in the gradient area. 🤷‍♂️
You have to do the full gradient decal, and so you can't use any special color base

If it's any help, you could try this... (copy the text into notepad)

Code:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="1200" height="400" version="1.1">
  <defs>
      <linearGradient id="G1">
        <stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:red"/>
        <stop offset="20%" style="stop-color:brown"/>
        <stop offset="40%" style="stop-color:yellow"/>
        <stop offset="60%" style="stop-color:blue"/>
        <stop offset="80%" style="stop-color:green"/>
        <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:purple"/>
      </linearGradient>
  </defs>
 
  <rect fill="url(#G1)" x="0" y="0" rx="0" ry="0" width="1200" height="400"/>
 
</svg>

This makes this:

Stop offset is how far along the decal, from left to right you want the colour to be.
Stop-colour is the colour you want it to be at that point.
Repeat or delete the <stop offset="x%" style="stop-colour:y"/> lines as necessary.

Save it as an SVG file in notepad, and away you go.

Blue to yellow with a short crossover area would just be...

Code:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="1200" height="400" version="1.1">
  <defs>
      <linearGradient id="G1">
        <stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:blue"/>
        <stop offset="35%" style="stop-color:blue"/>
        <stop offset="65%" style="stop-color:yellow"/>
        <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:yellow"/>
      </linearGradient>
  </defs>
 
  <rect fill="url(#G1)" x="0" y="0" rx="0" ry="0" width="1200" height="400"/>
 
</svg>

Blue to yellow via green...

Code:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="1200" height="400" version="1.1">
  <defs>
      <linearGradient id="G1">
        <stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:blue"/>
        <stop offset="50%" style="stop-color:green"/>
        <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:yellow"/>
      </linearGradient>
  </defs>
 
  <rect fill="url(#G1)" x="0" y="0" rx="0" ry="0" width="1200" height="400"/>
 
</svg>

edit: obviously you can express colours as hex, so instead of "stop-colour:red" you could use "stop-colour:#ff0000"

Wow! That's amazing! Thank you, I'll give that a try.
 
Love this! Such a cool idea. Hope you save some replays when you've finished the grid and had a few races!
I’ve posted some of the earlier races in the custom race thread. Mainly as tests for set ups and how good/bad the AI are at certain tracks.
The easiest way to do such things is usally to take a screenshot, import it into your vector creator of choice and do the decal there based on the screenshot. Then upload it, align with camera (the same view as the screenshot you used) and it should fit 99% ;)
In English, please. :lol:

Trust, if I had the computer skills, I’d be doing it. ;)

Tons of tutorials here and everywhere on the interwebs :D

Anyway, masking off special paints is a major pita :lol:

Luckily I only need to apply sponsor decals and the like now :)

I'm trying something similar for the 917K and failing hard at it right now :lol:
 
Wouldve been nice for the game to add grid coordinates and slant angle as well as a higher resolution of rotation angle.

Simply putting the rotational angle down to the nearest degree is not nearly finite enough and pretty half baked.
 
Thanks for the West decal, @krisduv :cheers:

Awesome livery mate!! You will not alone with Radio-inspired liveries!! :cheers:

So... Finally I could start making a livery project I was holding for almost a year due to many reasons!! :D Almost 7 decades of history dedicated into one big dream team!! :D Here's the start of...

Toyota Team Radio Panamericana

"The biggest automaker in the world joins forces with one of Perú's most historical radios in a venue that joins 70 decades of Radio Panamericana into one dream team that takes music and motorsport together into one big mix of Rock & Pop (1960's to 1997), Salsa (1997 - onwards) and speed. As a reminder of where everything started, all cars will bare #53 as in 1953. Radio Panamericana's birth year"

(Part 01 - 60's - 80's)

Part 01 (60's)


Cars Used:
Toyota 2000GT '69 - Toyota Team Radio Panamericana #53 2000GT '69

Stay tuned!! 90's - Onwards are coming soon!! :D:D
 
I’ve done a little hot hatch track day custom race, at Tsukuba, a little while ago. Just need more of these from that era. Shame I couldn’t lower the Peugeot Gr.B car low enough to make it look fun. A 109 & 205 GTi road car are greatly needed.
You can buy the low turbo for the 205 T16, it reduces power to around 350hp, and with ballast and power reductor...

Im dreaming of the 205 GTI in Gran Turismo.

Livery is now shared in my gallery, link in my signature :)

I hate to be “that guy”, but the decals should read as Grafisk reklame on both sides of the car.

But aside from that minor nit-pick, gorgeous work! I could never have the patience to make those masked pin-stripes. :bowdown:

Oh, I guess I didn't pay enough attention in that regard. I guess I'll have to fix and re-share the livery :D
Thanks! :cheers:
 
Few liveries using the fantasy companies. Still getting used to using the livery editor, really have to work differently to Photoshop and I find there's a few missing features that would make things a lot more enjoyable. Still having fun though.
