Hey,
That's really awesome and looks simple for people like me lol.
I just don't understand how you do that :
"Once you've placed all your sponsors and logos over the marked areas, you can select the 'Background' layer and start removing them:"
If i select background layer and i delete, this is deleting the layer and not examples sponsors.
How can i select them ?
Many thanks,

This is a very quick and dirty example but:

Make sure nothing is highlighted (just press escape)
Then click on Background.

Then using the Lasso Tool you can just select all the areas you want to remove and press 'Delete':

Then simply select the colour using the Colour Picker, and then Fill all the deleted spaces:

You need to make sure that when you add your custom sponsors that they are adding on a new layer. and not being added to the background layer:

If you're making a livery from scratch, yes, most likely. As with photoshop you can get the 3D model to design with.
But with this template, you do not need photoshop. This is for people who want to make their own livery based on this simple but sleek design.

Ahhh I get it
Template livery looks great, is there anyway to be able to change the base white colour to another other colour or texture (metallic, matte etc). Im new to PC and this is my first time doing this
Thanks

Of course, the template is designed in a simplistic way to simply change the colours once youve replaced all the 'Sponsor' text placements.

Here's an example of me changing the colours for a Japanese Special GP:

As for the finish, I will be updating resource with a couple in the coming days but for now you need to alter the livery_audi_01_s.tif with a different colour for different finishes. This package is green (which is Matte)

But for others, simply export the _s texture, and replace the green with the following colour:
Matte: #009600
Satin: #ff7d00
Glossy: #ff3500
Chrome: #0018bd
Metallic/Chrome: #0035ce
Metallic: #ff35ef

Like I say, I'll provide all of these in an update soonTM

What other car liveries can I replace as I don't have the audi livery unlocked (bought the game from EA this year instead rather than steam )

It doesn't matter, the SemiMoMod base package will give you the Audi livery mate. (it duplicates it onto Genesis I beleive). So just crack on as usual and the livery will be there for you

Well, the title sponsor on the side pod is meant to be slanted, to follow the angle of the side pod. Others shouldn't be.
Send me your DDS file and I'll take a look: (.poostick on discord)

Dumb question, but how do I get the logos to be even. Is there a tool in paint.net that allows me to make the sponsors look even? I made one with Koenigsegg just to test it and see what it looks like and on one side, it looks nice, but on the other side, one of the g's at the end of the word Koenigsegg is missing. Great stuff though.

 

[Feike007]

thanks for this tutorial it really helped me and could you also upload a version for suits and helmets etc?? Maybe also more default liveries would be nice. But nontheless nice work.

 

[Feike007]

Finally can make my own liveries

 

[Feike007]

And what is the placement for sponsors ON the halo so not on the personal sticker place but ON the halo like many teams have.
