GT Sport's Decal Editor Now Available to Limited Users

Nlo no i mean can we have more than one Costum livery per car or more?.

You can definitely have multiple saved (created and downloaded) but I'm unsure if there is a limit or cap.

Ah i see thank you!

It's like any other livery in-game.

I guess you can apply up to 300.

But i haven't try it myself yet.

Actually every time you apply something in your car, the counter reduces by 1.

He's not taking about that, that's why he pointed it out a second time. He's asking how many can you save.

GT Sport's Decal Editor Now Available to Limited Users

I want to get some custom decals ready for full release, Does anyone know the best way to prep the file into SVG if its a bmp or jpeg ,jpg and a link to the best free software to use for this, Thanks in advance.

 

[MikeTheHockeyFan]

Hi Mark, bmp or jpegs are not good candidates for this. The game requires a vector graphics file (SVG) so that the decal can be resized without the user seeing all the pixels and messyness associated with a raster-based file (BMP, JPG, etc).

Ideally for making a decal you acquire a vector graphics editing app and draw your own SVG file on one layer, with a transparent background below the decal.

Good luck.

Ah I see, Thanks for that, not as easy as I thought then,

It does worth the effort tho if you ask me.

Brill Nice one Guys Just What I was after. Thanks

I downloaded over 100 of these and lots of them are now missing. I haven't bothered to count how many I have left but there's some that I specifically downloaded for liveries to finish that I can no longer find. Pretty sad. So I suggest you follow the user just in case. If you do that then you can see their created decals.

 

[Niks]

PD gonna PD
I guess search option is still broken, for liveries and decals. I guess their servers cant handle the load.
(then you question why they though of making this feature available to users if they weren't prepared for this)

 

[djdest]

I had the Martini decal, that has now disappeared.
It’s pretty obvious there are going to be some copyright issues going on

 

[DigitalBaka]

Can anyone tell me if the limited file size is REALLY 15KB? (looking at the eye of the character, losing faith already)

That is not as complex as you think it is for SVG. Vector graphics are stored differently than a standard BMP or JPG image.

Or possible restrictions on Alcohol/tobacco advertising, some have mentioned it in the livery editor thread.

 

[djdest]

The JPS and Lucky Strike logos are still there though

I'm now getting stuck in reducing the file size of my images (since it's a character, not a logo, I don't really have enough time to trace it from scratch in illustrator...)

Here's one of the character I would like to upload as livery, and actually I'm very hopeless right now...

what can I do to be able to upload it?

(tried to make the another version using only GT's shapes, but the layer count is far from enough to get it done)

Another Martini one is now available, time will tell how long it lasts

 

[bmxmitch]

I don't get why companies would want to ban their logos in GTS. It's free promotion, so why bother!?

 

[NegiFISH_NaF]

btw does the file size limitation applies on the DISK Size OR the File Size?

 

[regnar]

File size, 15kb is the limit, looks like the file size of the image your trying to use is 557kb, not real familiar with vector editors but you need to use something like Inkskape or Adobe Illustrator to try to find away to reduce the file size.

That one would be for someone far more skilled at vectors than myself. I've only been at it for a few months and probably don't have the skill yet to do anything that detailed in a reasonable time. I may try a few of my favorite Gundam or Bleach characters as they seem to be on the simpler side.

Might not even be the case, it could likely be due to illegal advertisement. Some countries have very strict regulations when it comes to advertising alcohol, tabacco or similar.

Precisely, and some countries have more restricted laws than others, the company could be exposed to lawsuits in some countries even without any responsibility on the matter.

Further the above, companies are often very careful about how their brand is portrayed and who it is associated with. Imagine someone uses the Martini logo (for example) and writes under it "support drink driving" or puts a company logo on a car surrounded by swastikas. Not the image any company would want to have.

File Size.

Have these decals also disappeared from liveries you've created or once you've created a livery are they locked into it regardless if the decal is deleted from the Discover section?

I haven't noticed any of the ones I used being gone. I have noticed ones I've downloaded being gone though.
