If GT5 does incorporate a livery editor...

[VXR]

How does the livery editor work in Forza3 by the way?

Manipulation of in-game shapes and fonts.

 

[juwlzx5]

I hope they have a similar livery editor to Modnation Racers.

 

[digitalwolf]

I'll probably do what I do in Forza and make dirt/rust effects for added detail/realism

apparently you won't have to this time around according to the GT website...

It makes me rage that you can't merge layers to gain layer count space I feel that if GT has a livery editor (which I really hope it does) it'll do it the right way

EDIT: I just started the GT5 US Collector's Edition GTR livery

That looks great, lol drive online and make the fanboys, jealous.

...what designs are you looking forward to making?

For me, it would be this brilliant looking thing:

I don't think I've really backed the idea of having a livery editor on GT5. Although I love the idea of recreating famous liveries from motorsport history, I know that 90% of the customized cars online will look half-arsed or just completely awful. Still, it'll keep me entertained till GT6. 👍 I'd also love to create some cars from the BTCC.

 

[Carbonite]

it would be nice, but like other members, i like my cars with no decals, stickers or anything like that. I would, however, use it to customize my race cars to my liking instead of using the regular ones. Something like Grid, where you can put sponsors on it and get paid will also be nice but don't hold your breath

 

[Gezim]

This is what I would buy.

This is how I would fix.

I've never really been bothered with the livery editor in Forza or anywhere else, as much as I admire the ability of people who spend ages reproducing art work they just don't work for me.

I do like the proper race liveries though and I imagine the only one I'll be creating myself would be a boring old Team Parry with sponsorship logos which maybe incorporates the national flag.

 

[danielwhite74]

You do know the GT40 is already in right?

What I would really like to do is paint the new Ford GT with the Gulf livery; I'd then, effectively, have my hands on a Premium GT40.

I'll be making one car a screen name car

in a way a signature car, like i have in track mania. Having my screen name in big letters and an image or design to support that . And have lots of blue, black, and white.

which car i will choose for this? i dunno honestly, maybe a mini cooper, or a lancer for rally

Everything else i make would be character designs on cars if i could.

Actually, a quick comment, wouldn't some liveries be distracting to other racers. i tend to mainly draw sexy females >_>.

THIS! All I want is the ability to transform a roadcar into a racecar from one of the famous racing events all over the world, especially VLN, BTCC and DTM. I loved GT1 and 2 for having the racing modifications, this way you could get your hands on several BTCC cars (or cars that looked a bit like BTCC cars).

Mati PL allready posted this in some other thread, but it includes many cars, that I would like to recreate aswell:

(Peugot 406, Ford Mondeo, Vauxhal Vectra (Opel in the picture), Nissan Primera, Honda Accord and the Renault Megane, that features a livery similar to the livery of the Renault Laguna) All those cars look like the cars from my favourite seasons of the BTCC, which were features in Toca Touringcars 1 and 2.

On behalf on this pic:

I'll make MR-S, 300ZX, Miata and Civic. At least I'll honing my skill...

(In the beginning, I'll make random yet simple livery)

👍👍

Also, if you remember back to GT2, you could actually buy the BTCC livery/race car modification for the Renault Laguna. It was the dark green livery used during the 1998 season.
It's a shame the Volvo S40 touring car hasn't been included in any GT game. Has to be one of my favourite liveries of all time.

 

[RacerPaul]

i'd like to make my cars in the McLaren Vodaphone livery, like i do in Shift and Supercar Challenge

my littie tribute to Jenson Button

I think the final game will show dirt buildup on the cars. I remember hearing something about that during E3.

Peniston Oil and Larsen's Biscuits - And then fingers crossed we can open the doors in photomode (-:

The first GT5 trailer showing damage (on the Subaru Impreza), also featured dirt on the car, so at least they planned to include dirt buildup for rallyraces. Lets hope they do it for roadraces aswell. It will be fun looking at your car after an endurance race, with all the dirt, and scratched, that tell storys of a hard and demanding race.

Ahh i remember GT 3 A-Spec had this feature, had to change the oil and wash the cars, the good ol days.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

This was basically my plan as well. Though I would get to work on the Fed Ex 300ZX GTP.

Also, I think you'll find some of those cars are already in GT5.

Oh, I know, but I feel like just GT1 and GT2 provide so much inspiration for liveries that I could probably spend upwards of a year recreating some of them. Race mods still are one of my favourite features of GT and I've always wanted a return. Provided we get at least slightly more body customization in GT5, a livery editor is the next-best thing 👍

 

[Tenacious D]

While I would like to recreate a few liveries from real life, I'm hoping to be able to create my own racing identity in GT5 with original liveries. There are tons of great original artists in Forza who have made a name for themselves by making original designs. One or two were even hired by real life racing teams to design their liveries! You can't beat that.

 

[TheCracker]

According to Famine/Venari/Andreas interview with Kaz, it's looking increasingly unlikely that we'll see a livery editor in GT5:

Are there any features missing from GT5 that you’d like to have included?

Kazunori said “Yes”, without hesistation. “But there’s still time to work on things!”

Would this include a livery editor?

“Probably not for GT5, though it’s certainly on our list of things to work on…”.

Thats a major dissapointment for me because KY has basically lied about it. He has done this before, cutting online and drag racing from GT4 just before release.

It was listed as a feature for many many years but was never seen, I really was looking forward to recreating iconinc racing liveries (its not about ricing and anime!) and seeing as GT's competition all have livery editors in some form or another I thought it would be easy for them to implement.

Seriously if Supercar Challenge can do it why can't PD? I guess they tried to do too many things in GT5 and some had to go.

He Lied about it? A bit strong don't you think? That list is not a guaranteed list of what will be in the game, it's a list of what they want in the game. Two massively different things, and circumstances change as with any project.

I'm happy this has feature has not made GT5. It means we will probably get it in GT6 and, hopefully be better for it. Besides, I buy racing games to drive them, not go spending hours on end putting stickers on the cars. I had Forza 2 on my old 360 and the most I ever did was change car colour and put a few aero changes on.

Well he certainly didnt stop us believing all this time that they were going to do it! A feature like this can't appear over night and if they had no intention to pursue it that decision would have been made months ago. So why not say then! On another note I think nearly everything on that list had made it in other than this and the number plate editor!

I think a livery editor is a standard given in racing games today, people like the community aspect with personalisation and sharing, something with Forza has excelled at. I'm very surpised that PD decided to shelf it, its almost a snobbish reaction like they only want hardcore sim people to play this game and it will alienate the casual market even further.

I love doing liveries and spent most of my time in MCLA doing them, I feel a feature like this adds loads to a game and gives the feeling of a limitless amount of cars.
