Skins Logo hunting

AlleyViper · Mar 30, 2019

Because of the blue tint present on the detail picture above, you might try to reduce it from the cartoon cutout by adjusting its white level. On the profile picture of the car you and alfie posted the polar bear looks almost white, so reducing this blue will also make the red on the shirt more vivid. Other than this nitpick, it's looking great!

All my attempts to reduce the blue were unfortunately not satisfactory, so I made only slight adjustments in order not to distort the picture. I've finished the car so far now and if I can find a way in the future to do this,
I'll correct it.

Any use?

carmar · Mar 31, 2019

Wow!!! But, how you do this?

Fat-Alfie · Mar 31, 2019

Photoshop; the curves tool to set the white point on the white paintwork, the mid grey point on a neutral shadow, and the black point on the darkest part of the image. This helps to balance out the hues. Then I just reduced the yellow saturation to eliminate some of the nasty artefacts

carmar · Mar 31, 2019

Ok. I will try it

Anyone recognise this logo? I'll set the scene... Sebring, mid 1960's.

Oh and also, as this is a thread visited by skinners I guess. Does anyone have any suggestions for the CM showroom that gives the closest appearance to the car actually on track ingame?

Since I didn't know this tool in Photo-Shop yet, I tried it a little bit and then came to this result. Many thanks Fat-Alfie, so I have learned something new again.

On which car is this logo on?

The skin is for a Griffith but that car is a Grantura, possibly driven by Donohue.

If you can't find that one logo, it's going to be a pretty plain skin

Andy-R · Apr 12, 2019

Pretty much all of the Griffith/Grantura liveries are like that, the ones from back in the day anyway. Most don't have any logos, just a painted number and maybe some stripes. I just did my take on these RM Import cars for the #65 Griffith but I'd like to add that logo to the skin when I have a crack at sorting out the stripes. I think there will be another update at some point so want to get the stripes less wonky if I can. It isn't that important, I just thought I'd ask on the off chance.

How about a Shell logo instead, if you can't track down the correct one? That seemed to be widely used on cars in 1963.

Do you think TVR got paid royalties by Disney?

Andy-R · Apr 12, 2019

Yeah there is a thread or at least some post on a forum somewhere where people are wondering if Herbie was a Grantura copy

Does anyone have the Bilstein logo with the crest infront of the text or better pics than this from wikipedia (Nissan NP35)?
Haven't found anything on the web sofar.
