How are we supposed to do without coordinates? I'm not an expert but when I play with the livery editor in Forza, it's an important feature to me.
Another point : can we put vinyls on windows? So far, the wind-shield banner option seems limited to Gran Turismo banners.
The only option I see (and wouldn't be bad imo) would be something like "smart-guides". Something like what Adobe implemented with CS5 or 6, at least in Ai it appeared in one of those versions.
So, we could avoid manual guides because the software would automatically set some guides as soon as you would put a first element. For instance, if you would create a set of 3 circles, after the first 2, the third would be "pushed" to the right place, making the distance between it and the 2nd circle the same as between the 2nd and the first. Without you needing to set up rulers and manual guides. (Quite weird to explain but really easy once you see it or try it out).
In GTS, I'd imagine a few smart guides set by default:
- centre of the car, centre of the bonnet, door, spoiler, etc;
- 3/4 points in all those places too;
- and new smart guides once you put a random element in a random place. For example, a logo on a random place on the door, on the other side of the car would be a few "smart guides" (centre, top, bottom and side limits) so when you would place a different element, it would be "pushed" into the right place.
Of course this is easier said than done. But it could work...
Coordinates maybe are easier to code but IMO, don't work as intuitively as "smart guides".
