RSS Formula Hybrid 2023 - Livery Guide - CHD - Livery Guide

Hello,
I've created this visual guide to show you where each of the parts of the RSS Formula Hybrid 2023 correspond to on the photoshop template supplied by Race Sim Studio. This is more sophisticated than my last livery guide as I've kept all the layers separate and have included the raw photoshop file instead of the flattened...

Can you please create such a Livery Guide for the RSS Formula Americas 2020 as well?

I'll give it a go!

EDIT:
I've worked today on it and here it is! https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/rss-formula-americas-livery-guide.60671/
Hopefully this helps with your liveries!

Do you know if RSS has made the Photoshop editing files available for F1 2023? I couldn’t find them anywhere.

could someone point me towards the suspension arms? i can't seem to find them for some reason.

They have their own templates available on their website (https://racesimstudio.com/shop). There is a file labelled "All Livery Templates". It'll lead you to a free purchase that links you to a google drive where you can select all of their 3D and 2D photoshop files.

If I remember correctly the suspension arms aren't an actual part that's on the 2023_Chassis_P file which I've included. They're apart of another file called "HR_Map_2". This file is able to be taken from the RSS provided Templates or from their provided liveries.

yeah, there's only one small part of the suspension linked to the 2023_Chassis_P file, I managed to find it.

How do i assign a material like metallic or matt?

How do i assign a material like metallic or matt?

through the alpha channel: white is glossy and black is carbon fiber, don't really recall how it goes for matte, i think it was grey (as in 50% black)

I would like some help, I don't manage to convert the floor to carbon fiber, I don't know if it is a limitation for the program I use (I use GIMP because I don't have the money nor the machine to use Photoshop) or because I'm not using the original PSD (I prefered to do it on a new file and copy the AO and UV to guide myself and simplify it). If you need a screenshot or the psd file or something I'll provide it with pleasure. Thanks again for the help

Apologies for such a late response.

To create a metallic texture you're going to want to create a new file with the exact same dimensions as the "2023_Chassis_P" file and name this new file "2023_Chassis_P_MAP". The easiest way to do this is to just copy and paste the file and rename it.

The alpha channels from what I can tell don't have any use within the MAP file however I might be mistaken.

This file uses brightness to determine what kind of texture to apply. The darker, the less reflective (therefore creating a Matte texture). Leave it white for a metallic texture.

I recommend for any carbon textures to use a gray colour as black causes the carbon textures to appear so black you can't tell the geometry of the car making it look unnatural (Like this BMW).

Again, apologies for the response time and hopefully this helps you or anyone with their liveries!

Sorry for being slow to get back to you,
Carbon fiber is controlled by Alpha Channels. You paint them black for carbon and leave them white for normal paint. You can use grays for a coloured carbon look.

According to this video you can create Alpha Channels in GIMP by right clicking in the layers section add pressing "Add Alpha Channels". Photoshop has the Alpha layers in its own separate tab for any Photoshop users.
