this one is very beautyfull.. nice job FLX1981 👍
 
Fan-tas-tic work on the Porsche, M, but... usual problem that the angle of the stripes you mirrored on the other side arent correct, right?! :crazy:

PS: Thanks, strela! :)
 
Hm...I have a suspicion that you really like cars :) Nice work! All of your cars look great, honestly.

Thanks :) But don't we all really like cars in here? ;)

@FLX1981, thanks for pointing that out. I thought it was simply a rendering bug in the replay, but you're right: all the decals on the right side of the car was slightly rotated!

I've corrected the decals, and put up a new pic but it's a shame about the other one; I rather like it.

That's the first time I've seen the bug. Does it exist in all version of S2U?

Not that I've seen on my end. Although I should give you a heads-up about the mirroring of custom liveries onto other cars; I'm not sure how it happens but my Huayra somehow has adopted the same livery as my SR3. And my Z06 doesn't seem to be able to withhold a livery for more than a few hours...it completely reverts back to gloss white.

It pisses me the hell off. :grumpy:
 
Really, am I the only one that has this strange bug with messed up angles in mirroring every single time?! I thought that just wasnt programmed properly... :crazy:

God, that stupid crippled livery editor pisses me the hell off. I tried to "John Player Special"ize my Bentley Conti Works yesterday - worst idea I ever had. More than 2 hrs of work and all I managed to do is this:

Obviously there is no logo in the manufacturer pack that even closely resembles JPS, so I took Schmidt. Whatever. If there is ever gonna be one single line screwed up and misplaced like with my Murcie all the time, I m gonna slap the living 🤬 out of anybody at SMS! :grumpy:

Next livery project is luckily gonna be a whole freakin lot easier.
 
@Terronium-12: Yes, I've had the migrating livery problem too. When I won the Exige, it bizarrely adopted the livery I painstakingly put on my Z4 M Coupe. When I started changing it on the Exige, IT CHANGED THE BMW's LIVERY AS WELL.

Then there's the bug when my livery isn't saved after exiting S2U UNLESS I drive the car somewhere....

For me, S2U is like owning a German car. Dumb little problems keep popping up but you're having such a good time, you can't help but overlook them.

@FLX1981, I actually think the Bentley is really nicely done and the best work you've done so far. Keep up the good work 👍

My little homage to the TAKATA NSX from the JGTC (which is now called SuperGT). The livery's a WIP.

Wow! Very cool, dice, very cool!

@ M-Spec: Thanks, but this was way, way harder than it should be - and of course I had to readjust ALL those stripes on the right side after mirroring them! You know what I m talking about... :crazy:

The whole JPS scheme would fit fantastically on the Bentley if the livery editor wasnt so crippled. The front air intakes and the rear wheel arches would be perfect for JPS style, yet you cant really manage to adjust and align anything in these sections due to the horrible projection and camera control that wants to break your fingers... AAARRRGH!

It was a little tricky to get the gradients to match on each side and for some reason the pictures came out a little blurry.
 
Two new liveries from me. Bad news is: They will be the last I ll be doing - those 2 and the JPS theme on my Bentley Conti get screwed up EVERY SINGLE TIME!! Whenever I use any of those cars, the angles of the elements get screwed up. So I wont waste any further time on that f:censored:ing broken POS livery editor (thats a nightmare to use anyway) until they make it usable in a patch. I will write a very pissed off mail regarding the issue to SMS, be sure about that...

So here are my "Lotus 72 Tribute"-scheme Jag

And my S3 re-done in classic Audi Racing Trans Am/DTM-style. Would be my favorite livery ever on my favorite car, but since the stupid angles never stay correct... :crazy:

I d have some other great Ideas (Rothmans style 911, Pennzoil GTR, Senna-style Marboro Mc Laren, Sunoco Can Am style Porsche, Kyle Petty Challenger...) but like I said, I wont waste a second more with that POS livery editor until they patch the living 🤬 out of it to make it even remotely usable! :grumpy:

PS: Great work on that Apollo, GT_J!
 
Thanks, also I really like the S3 livery you made. The only thing that really frustrated me with the Apollo was the placement of the decals and that gap on the right side coming down from the top.
 
Im on the PS3 and is there any way to upload the photos here without the PSN being online? Ive taken a few photos of my custom liverys but I cant even seem to find out where they went....

You should be able to log on the Need for speed site and get them off there.
 
I really admire the pation of all you who made your own livery.
I wish i had time or pation to do that.
I usually pick one of the customs.
 
Here is my latest work in progress. It's not quite done yet: BRE Racing 370Z

N.B.Oh yes, those numbers where a royal pain in the bum to recreate. Not sure if I have the will power to see through another two sets of 46 on each side of the car... let alone the Nissan text on the side of the original car.

Thats awesome 👍 Actually, you could do just one side then copy it to the other.
 
Unfortunately as Tribolik said, the numbers won't mirror well. The 46 on the hood turned out looking really good in top down shots (I'll post one up tonight). The intakes on the hood distort the 4 pretty badly from any other angle of view.

You should have choosen a simpler body kit... Ive seen the original and the body kit is much more «stock/simpler»... either that or center the numbers on the hood.

WARNING to all that have custom liverys.

-You cannot sell any car if you have a custom livery, I already lost 3 custom liverys and didnt know why but Ive been working on a custom livery for a Reventon works (8 hours work already) and today I wanted to switch my GT1 car and sold the maserati so after doing that I imediatly checked the Reventon and my livery was gone - the car was all gray so I exited the game before it could save and I got my GT1 maserati :ouch::grumpy:and my Reventon livery back.:bowdown::D

2 new liveries I made despite my initial disgust with this stupid craptation of a livery editior:

Rothmans Porsche 917 Tribute Apollo - originally idea was to apply this to the 918 works but it will still be a long time before I will own that:

And my tribute to possibly the greatest racing driver ever, the colors of his mc laren on the car he helped create:
