Some of the other classifications are WT?. Some only work in certain staged scenarios in Career where you start from the back and pass everyone in 2 laps.
Maybe they watched @Scaff's video
It looks like this is the process:
- Pick one of the preset patterns
- Colour it
- Place logos (of which there seem to be tons) in preset slots
- Choose driver number
- Choose number/board style and place in preset location
So essentially, way more in-depth than GRID's, and less hands-on than Forza's. Reminds me a lot of DiRT 4's editor. That's a happy medium I can work with, as spending 12+ hours on a Forza paint is not fun even when they look amazing.
Also neatly sidesteps any moderation issues/requirements since it's near impossible to create an offensive symbol
The bad thing with GT's livery editor is it doesn't really take a lot of time or talent. Just being good at changing pictures into .svg files. At least for the best ones. Coming from a non-xbox guy, Forza gets it right.
While I agree in part, the art of drawing a beautiful car using shapes, etc is gone and replaced with being able to convert an image to svg. If they had combined that WITH the ability to group shapes and save decals you made I'd be ok with it. Personally I'd much rather have that ability than the ability to convert images (which I'm terrible at!)
I think that art is still there but it happens on the computer rather than console. I think the quality of liveries on GTS is higher than Forza (the SVGs don't eat into the layer limit as much and the community in general is more active).
Its still very much present and its certainly not been replaced by that at all, nor is the use of svg's as simple as you are suggesting (having created a good number for my own livery's), this is akin to the argument that photography is not an art form because unlike drawing or painting you use a different set of tools and medium. An (invalid) argument that forgets entirely about the need for composition, skill with the different medium, etc.
Why not have both? The fact you can't group layers and/or save is what made this not a very fun livery editor for me - it's very tedious. While there is definitely art to making a flowing livery, converting pieces of said livery into svg is more of a skill, no?
I also said I didn't think of paint or any other programs like that, I was just thinking of converting an image you find online to svg. My bad. I'm not sure what you mean by just changing the color of someone else's liveries? What are you talking about? PC3 being limited or are you accusing me of changing colors of other's designs on GT and claiming them?
