paint tutorial?

[astrohm93]

Hey again, I was just asking about the Nicky hayden test bike and was wanting to be able to make it myself.. I have no clue how to start though. Any tutorials that would be helpful?

Download the templates you need, you can find them on the forum And use a paint program to edit the targa files. Most of the users are using photoshop but there are other (free) programs that can do the same job
Just start painting the template and add decals that you can find on the internet. Use high resolution png pictures

ok thanks!

what do I do after all the decals are on the template in photoshop?

also after i do the same thing with the leathers and helmet, how do I put them into gp bikes?

You need to download the Painted tool from Piboso

Post a screenshot, you can take it in game with F11. What is wrong with skin? Need more info.

These are the Template Sizes I use for Skins.

Bike: 2048x2048
Suit: 2048x2048
Helmet: 2048x1024
Visor: 2048x960
Wheels: 1024x1024

sorry its not letting me put a pic for some reason.  but what happens is the front numbers are on the tail and logos arent where they are supposed to be.  but on the template in photoshop everything is where it should be.

I just saw your post... i didnt realize the size of the template mattered... that might be the problem let me retry it!

Thanks for your help btw

You are using the wrong template on the wrong bike, try this one

damn! ok hopefully it will work now. what about wheels leathers and helmet? one last question, do I put all of those in the same folder?

Thanks

[Docfumi]

This is what you should have in your folder. Just down load one of my skins and copy what I did.

Hint! Download the skin with the Monster energy logos because it has all the things from the list in the folder.
