Think this is about as close as I can get, bearing in mind the front wings are different shapes...Right.. time to crack on with that front wing... this shot is perfect for reference...

I did some more research from the Baku's photos and seems like they both actually have black pads now.
Superb thanks! Saved me quite some time trying to find picsI did some more research from the Baku's photos and seems like they both actually have black pads now.
Edit: Sorry for small photos
maybe you need to tone the grey down in your PSD a bit (close to darker grey i think), 65-80% grey will totally blow the color up like white in the game. or use metal detail as main color and tweak the skin map to get the correct metallic reflection.
I'll have a look but it doesn't look that white on track. I always find the showroom lighting to be a bit too harsh
Note, the previous colour was chosen as I looked up the hex colour for silver and used that.
Sorry... more screenshots lol... I've adjusted the base colour a little. Lightness (HSL) was sitting at 75% before. I've now changed it to 50% and it looks much better. These shots are in KS showroom with default pp and default exposure...
Looks ok in full light and in shadow. Really don't think I want to go any darker than that as it's meant to be 'Silver' Arrows, not dark grey arrows
Just done an inspection and found a few anomalies which I fixed so looking at doing some other details and then release before the weekend.
Here's the latest on track test at Monaco (with the new darker colour):
Thanks for pointing this out.... not your fault but it's really p***ing me off as I had the black shading further back originally and then someone said it was wrong so I changed it, but it must be a testing photo they showed me...Top work! looks great!
only a small note
the driver numbers behind are no longer on a black background (I think that was only during the test drives)

Also they seem to use this magic paint that looks different in every photo that you look at!!Great progress so far!
[As chargingcar pointed out the shading on the engine cover is still too light, it's actually as black as the shading on the bottom/rear end of the car.
Will the Halo mounting stay this light in colour compared to the rest of the Halo?
The difference in colour between the mount and the actual Halo is very small.
I just noticed that if you make the whole shading darker the Halo mount will get darker as well so that might automatically solve this.
I also think that the shading on the engine cover is too "long", it almost reaches the number at the back.
It actually should end around the AMG EQ Power+ logo.
About the bottom/rear end shading: The colour is great but I think the shading goes "upwards" earlier, on the real car the bottom layer of first digit is completely black while the second digit sits in the transition area from black to silver.
*EDIT* Just saw your latest pics, now the engine cover shading looks much better (except it's still a bit too long). Too me it even looks like it's still not dark enough lol. The transition area from silver to black is very small and then the whole area is actually plain black.

I think I saved my original shading in the PSD.... I'll have a look and see if it's still there and useable otherwise I'll need to re-do it again.
Still, better to have it noticed now and fix it than it be wrong at release! I've also just noticed that the vertical fin at where the nose joins on is black so I'll fix that too and also the inside of the cockpit surround foam is completely black.
Anything else anyone can see that's wrong whilst I'm at it?
....Not sure if it looks a little weird that it goes along straight at the bottom and then doesn't come up from that but I think it's true to the real carNew rear shading and primax re-size/position... thoughts?
Think I'm happy with it.
Siblings....
Corrected rear shading, made inside of head protection foam black, made vertical fin on top of nose black. Chassis is now complete - I'm not changing it again unless there's something major, which I'm pretty sure there isn't!
