Help with Huracan Template

[Holyce]

I wanted to create a new livery for the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 so I checked some tutorials and the tutorials say that I should have a wire, AO and a paint layers and that I shouldn't edit the wire/AO layers. However, the Huracan GT3 template does not have a paint layer.

Do I have to make a separate layer to paint the car? Also can make the paint with chrome or candy finish? How can I make the glowing numbers stickers and the electric light numbers that appear on the car windows (like the BMW M6 GT3 )?

You need:
"Skin_00.dds" - AO image where you should paint your skin.
"Skin_00_map.dds" - To change skin reflection, etc.

You can see examples of these inside the skins folder (of that car).
For the wireframe you can use content manager.

Does that mean that I have to edit the Skin_00.dds and Skin_00_map.dds files in photoshop too?

Inside the folder "\sdk\dev\skin_templates\template lamborghini huracan gt3" you should have a file called "Body_D.psd". You need to open that in Photoshop and paint in the AO layer. After all is finished you have to export to DDS (DXT5) and name it "Skin_00.dds". Make sure you have the plugin to export to DDS though.
You can ignore "Skin_00_map.dds" if you're not going to change the way the car reflects. That's slightly more complicated.
