If GT5 does incorporate a livery editor...

Livery editor is a must, after intially getting to grips with the forza 2 editor i simply cannot imagine going back to stock paint jobs, for me they arnt congruent with a car that been setup/upgraded for track use.

At first you start of with something basic, a few custom decals but mostly your experimenting with where to position everything, aswell as familierizing yourself with the editor.

After a bit of practise you move on to race replicas, these are more demanding, but take it from me im not artistically gifted at all, but i learned how to create templates as well as getting the most out of the editor.

to me i cant see why PD shouldnt give people the opportunity to create their own race liveries or create race rep's, given how populare the feature has proven itself of on forza motorsports.

 

[audikiller008]

i think they was a similar feature back on gt2 where you turn a road into a race

your thinking of the race modification upgrade which was a awesome feature that sadly never made it onto gt3/4.

yup sad i hope it makes to gt5

No thats differant, those were race body kits with liveries that couldnt be edited by the player (other than a choice of 2 colours), PD stopped doing the Race body kits upgrade which is unfortunate.

but GT has never had a livery editor, today on pc sims you can edit the cars livery like in GTR2 with photoshop, where as Forza has an in game livery editor feature.

I guess PD is kinda dragging its heels on this issue, eventually its going to be in the game, question is will it be soon or later ?

The problem is (and I play FM2 as well as GT5p), is you need a lot of time/patience and a smattering of skill to get stuff to look good, and not all of us have these qualities

FM2 IMO only pulled it off because they had all the 'mechanisms' in place to allow getting these liveries distributed (via the Auction house), PD should (correctly) only do it if they can satisfy the two main things
1. Be able to produce high quality liveries with a reasonably good method of doing it
2. Be able to share these meaningfully, so we can get good designs from more talented people..

That is an amazing R34... I hope that's in the game

Yep. Forza does indeed have an amazing livery editor.

I once made a Van Halen styled Mini Cooper

I'd imagine that since I'm not usually that good at this stuff, I'd start with something simple but cool:

[Rash-182]

i dont need to have a Superman logo on my car so i really dont care about the livery editor

 

[Custer85]

Give me the same kind of modifications GT had with GT1 and GT2 and iam fine! I just want to build my own touringcar and thats it, i dont need anything like these Fast and The Furious or NFS vinyls.

I would like to repaint the Calsonic Group A GTR (R32) into this even faster Australian Winfield GTR.

The best of livery editor is that you can "customize" your car being unique and in online play is more easy to identify other drivers.

But in my opinion the livery editor should applies only to race cars!

my gulf effort in mc la

Thats really nice, Dont know why you have a sad face on

Define a race car? A car that is racing is technically a race car, but in GT you also take stock road cars and modify them. There is no definition to what extent a car has to be modified to be a race car and there are many real life race cars that use practically stock vehicles, sometimes wit the only modifications being a roll cage and safety equiptment.

Needless to say I dissagree with this point of yours, I see no reason to place any restictions in this area.

Ok that your opinion, but when I refer race cars I mean Nascar, JGTC, WRC . . . "Official racing cars".

 

[Stevisiov]

and a "hell yeah!" to the jägermeister liveries.

+1000

 

[Antti-san]

I would take the Skyline safety car and turn it into a Police Car.

You mean like this?

 

[nicbha]

Thats really nice, Dont know why you have a sad face on

thanks.

wait till i can afford the aston ha ha

they get worse as i go

 

[s15specr]

I'd give these ones a go, but I doubt it'd be easy to do such designs on the PS3.





I created both of them for GTR2

Nice work mate , a love that gtplanet one

 

[X-Power]

i know the company is dead, but those cars represent a few years of fun and excitement too me.

its also a pretty distinctive scheme and hopefully wouldnt be too tricky to reproduce.

the 257 racing was the last time i watched lemans.

Yes please! The best livery ever made! 👍

 

[3Axis]

I'm wondering about the possibility of a textural template for each car. Is that possible? That way we can create a single-layer graphic and import it into GT5 from the PS3 hard-disk. Yesno?

 

[G.T.Ace]

It could be possible but i doubt it.
It works in NASCAR '09 afaik, but i think GT5s engine cant do that.

Would be awesome though, Photoshop makes creating custom liveries a lot easier.

So this car shouldn't be allowed to be painted then even if all it's competitors could be? Or am I missunderstanding you.

For the record, this car raced in the BTCC but it was not a factory car it was a car built by Halfords. Matt Neil who raced this car has raced plenty of privateer teams in the BTCC over the years. I just don't see what the problem is with not being able to paint all cars, a car racing is a race car. There is no such thing as an official race car, there's a racing organisation and race regulations and I suppose if a car falls within certain regulations and is entered into a competition it becomes official to that competition, but there is no universal definition beyond thoes defined on an individual level.

I get what you're saying but I don't understand why your saying it. A race car is a race car. Race cars have sponsors and funky paint jobs. It doesn't matter if it's a road car modified into a race car like most touring and GT cars or if it's a race car based on a road cars design or a purpose built race car either a silhouette or protoype. They are all race cars and I see no reason to restrict someone by saying you can paint that car, but you can't paint that one, both are the same spec but you tuned that one yourself, so we say no.

 

[hardvibes]

you must admit the Gallardo by Polizia di Stato is simply astonishing

proud to be italian

 

[sumbrownkid]

^ Don't they use that Lambo for ultra emergencies only?

 

[G.T.Ace]

Do they even use it for emergencies?
Theres also a Porsche 911 Turbo "Polizei", but thats just showcar:

Agree + 1 Googol

By the way, Just imagine this, PD Develops the best Livery Editor ever, better than anything you have seen, and its only Limited to "Official Race Cars"
