Re: Nascar 11 Custom Car Thread

Brew, love your cars. Was wondering if it would be possible to do this car with a blue #1? And without the yellow on the rear bumper. Thanks!

Man your giving me a true challenge! Dont know how Id pull off the barbwire on it. I have a couple of requests ahead of yours and 1 car Im working on that Id like to finish as well. Im willing to do it for you but you just gotta give me some time man! It might be a while but if your willing to wait Id be happy to try to put this car together for you. I might have to even make a #23 version for myself!

I think people noticed you put everyone to shame with the car creation and figured to stop. I see the patch is going to be out soon. I can't wait for Team Jordan Dodge Jordan XI to roll off the truck at Daytona!

Depending on the rain situation in the Rangers/ yankees game, I'll show y'all progress on my new car that I'm working on if we go on with the OS league.

Re: Nascar 11 Custom Car Thread

All I got to say is these are awsome, I can't even grasp how good you all are. I need some of these some how, I love the Allison, and Dale Sr. was my driver, but they are all great, also the Tide Ride I have to get that some how. I hope you all keep posting as they are all great

Re: Nascar 11 Custom Car Thread

Brew, I can't figure this out.

Picture if you will the Earnhardt Sr #3 Wrangler car...simple, right? Blue front, yellow/gold rear.

So, how do you make the front of the car one color and the back of the car the other color? I tried to do it by putting big decal squares on the front and then paiting them, but then I can't put anything on TOP of them, like logos/sponsors/numbers etc. Help? What am I missing here, besides that part of my brain??

You started it right. Basically, make the "base" paint blue and then cover each section of the front of the car with yellow squares. You'll have to scale the yellow squares to fit accordingly. Click L3 to unlock the ratio and you can make the square as big as you want horizontally and vertically. I would start by putting a yellow square covering the hood and angled squares for each side and another to cover the front of the car. When you place these squares make sure that you have that part of the car designated otherwise weird things can happen Ex. yellow square on the hood. Make sure that is designated to the top view of the car.(top bar highlights which side of the car it is designated to). Not sure Im explaining it well enough but when you want a decal placed on a certain side use the camera that is designated for that side by moving the d-pad left and right to choose the part of the car you want to apply it to. Dont move the right thumbstick or youll move the decal and camera at the same time. It is much easier to work with the "base" cameras for each side. The only time I move the camera using the right stick to apply a decal is for the A,B, & C posts and the American Ethanol logo over the gas cap which needs a very odd angle for the circular decal to fit over the gas cap properly.

Great Brew, I'm doing things right to begin, but then how do you apply decals on top of the hood that you covered to make yellow? WHen I try to put something on top it goes 'under' the decals on the hood instead of on top and you can't see it?

Its all about how the layers are arranged on the "side panel." Your yellow base layers should be on the bottom. If you make the Wrangler text or any other decal that you want above the yellow layers make sure that text or decal is a layer on top of the yellow layers. The top layers will always appear above the other layers.

Ah, got it. Okay I'll give it another whirl. You get amazing results but I think you're one of the few exceptions who can maximize this paint booth. Hopefully next year it'll be much friendlier and hopefully we can work on designs on our PCs and share.

Safe to say he is a pro.
