THIS FORTNIGHT'S THEME


This week, we will try to keep our cars secret. Last winner @D-Max set this theme, let's hear what he has to say :

I’m looking for cars to be covered in an alternate/pre-season camouflage. Think red bull F1 pre season, Alfa Romeo valentines livery, production car camouflage.

I want your take on a camouflage for your newly developed race car.


CARS :

- Race cars only
- Any Race Car (Gr.1, Gr.2, Gr.3, Gr.4 or Gr.B.)
- Any Racing Gr.X.


LIVERIES :
- No replicas, original designs only.

UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS :
- No ‘military’ camouflage. The design must be a complete one off and totally unique.
- No large title sponsors (Tyre/lubricant sponsors and small product sponsors are fine. Placement of team names are fine but again, must not cover excessive areas of the car.).

BONUS PICTURES SETTINGS :
- 2 bonus pictures needed, set as follow :

- 1 still image in a garage setting
- 1 moving image on track.

USER MADE DECALS :
- Allowed.



GENERAL COMPETITION RULES

ENTRY SUBMISSION

- The only way you can take part is to be a member of the GTPlanet forums. If you haven't created your account yet, click here
- Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
- Unsure how to? Copy and paste the following:
Code:
[COLOR=red][B]FINAL ENTRY[/B][/COLOR]
- One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
- You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
- Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
- Absolutely no entries which utilize edited/hacked file saves.

- Winner gets to choose the following Fortnight's theme.
- Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
- The Host may ask for the original image/livery and it must be submitted if so.
- It's recommended to share the original livery online (in-game) to prove it’s your work.
- Winner, second and third places will have to share the links of the liveries for the Hall of Fame thread


ENTRY PRESENTATION

- All images shall have preview images which may not exceed 640 pixels in either direction (main and bonus pictures)
- You have to post two main pictures of your entry using the mandatory locations and settings as shown below
- You are allowed to post two bonus pictures in a spoiler with free location and settings (unless the unique restrictions of the week’s theme specify something else)
- You have to make one post with ONLY the 4 pictures and the FINAL ENTRY mark. If you want to add precisions/background story/links, you are allowed to double-post under your entry. The best way to do it will be to "reply" to your own post.

- It is recommended you host your image either here on GTPlanet (via the Media section), or on Flickr
- Not sure how to submit your image? Here's a guide for both methods mentioned above.
- A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
- Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it; it makes poll creation much easier!
- No heavy post-game editing, slight enhancing is allowed.

Cool idea!!! But I don't completely undsrstand the rule about the sponsors. If I make a ferrari f1 car, can I place the shell / ups / ray ban / mission winnow decals on the same place as they are now?

i think the less sponsors you have, the better. think of candid shots in Auto magazine of an upcoming model doing laps on the Ring in camo so the paps can't get a really good look at the new lines and details of your new model
 
will lurking for awhile, and hope not forget the challenge like "the fans" challenge (already have the idea but too late :banghead:)
 
When I first read this I didn't like it. Now I have an idea and think it actually gives good scope for creativity! I hope I can do what I have in mind.
Sorry I was busy all day yesterday. Minimal sponsorship is required. The mission win now is quite substantial in size so would be taking up way too much space.

Ideally, you want to leave as much space free as possible. This one, I manage to blend the TSR logo into the camouflage. The door number is here just because it was being used For a race by a friend but without it, he camouflage is still very visible. Which is ideally what you want

completely revamped my blob camo into a mecha shard camo. hopefully this is less military now. also changed base vehicle. the camo just suited this better.

I’ve never used these light truck scapes, but aren’t they at a carnival?

Otherwise, I love the placement and colour choice!

And the paint underneath gives off the impression that the Honda badge on the rear is all scratched!
I thought it was strange that scape was in the garage section. I can switch it up. The paint colour is actually chrome. I think its refelcting a tree to give that weird effect on the rear view. 8ve considered changing the paint base but the chrome is kinda cool. I've made a few changes already, so I'll update my post when i get a chance. Can you believe i forgot to decal the roof? Too many beers while in the livery editor last night
 
Not sure how hard the rules need to be followed, as the military camo from above seems ok for the contest (nice work btw @teensonacid !) , so I'm gonna give it a try :D

I wanted to create a preseason test livery for the Ferrari F1 team, without sponsors it wouldn't be a Ferrari

Is this allowed ?

Sorry guys, I’m all over the place. I’ve had a heavy night into day. Now I’ve somewhat sobered up, @teensonacid it is a bit militarised. Somewhat an urban camo? I do apologise for my previous comment, I should have just kept completely quiet given my state!

This is where I want this to head...

Modern Dazzle is a great way to keep it within the restrictions but It doesn’t need to be one set design throughout as you can see with my P1.

Look up the dazzle camouflage on WW1 ships and you will see different black and white patterns. You don’t need to use black and white by the way.

As for @RealJaySee , my eyes are instantly drawn to the sponsors rather than the livery design. I don’t want the sponsors to be too overbearing.

Ive picked a really tricky one to police as so many things can be done and play with the limits and my mind is forever changing.

ok no worries, i'll change mine up...no more blobs i guess
 
I'm not really sure there's a story I can come up with as to why a team would use barcodes... I guess it helps that it gave me a headache making it, so it would do the same for anyone trying to spy on it!

I took a little inspiration from my DB3S wood panel design to split the body into small sections.

Each barcode is uniquely generated here using the code "AUDI R8 001", 002 etc all the way up to 110 (see the spoiler below for a little proof)

Just what if Jaguar really into the game, personally I want do like some customer do lately like put blank roof, livery on hood only or put some big main sponsor on door only but it will just not fit the rules so I only put that.
