Personally for me would be "B" only because there is less green.

That green is the personal contrast color to the pilot. But i tend to B, too.

A reads better for me, but B is more pleasant considering the color scheme. A will look better in motion, B in stills and when in focus.

As usual after adding AO it's like "oh yeah, that was important"...

Colour blind so I can't tell the difference between the two, but I like the overall look. Only comment from me is that on the little extension on the 1 has a little point that dips down; I'd flatten it out so that it's in-line with the top of the 5. Even if just the bottom corner of that little bit so you get a straight line from the underside of the horizontal line of the 5 right through to the vertical of the 1.

Nit picky, I know

Won't be too visible when the car passes you on track.

These bad boys develop to be looking good.
Next step will the MAP file to control some reflections etc.

Probably gonna need to come with an instructional, it ended up packed a bit weirdly so more things could be the same scale.

I've seen much worse to be honest hehe. Also i can always use Mudbox!

Any chance this'll come with a 3D template?

I don't really know how to make that.

I don't really know how to make that.

If you export the skinnable parts as i think a .dae or .obj, PS should be able to open it and 3D paint. Might be other files formats too but thats the ones I’ve used in the past.

I don't really know how to make that.

Main thing is to use .obj if possible, or .dae, I always prefer the .obj but both work great like Gary was saying,

1st inside photoshop,
Select File/Open

2nd Select the extracted 3D Mesh,

3rd and this probably the most important part,

Photoshop does not use "Meters" only mm,
so change the values manually and make the 1st section 2050.00 will change the rest,
no one hardly does this at all its a mistake,

4th Make sure its 4096x2048, but make sure the resolution is 1000,
really helps when merging down from 3D/2D on the files,

5th now we can see the chassis paints we extracted at the beginning inside our software,

6th these are the modes used inside CS6 to move the views and rotate the objects,
top panel center.

7th to the right here we have the control panel, you can rotate the "infinite lighting here among other settings and values,
8th here in the right side we have the main settings which controls everything,

9th at the top right there is the material settings, its better to select a nice material to start with 1st before proceeding to apply your PSD,

here we have gloss or matt the 2x blue materials both are fine to use from my experience,
I either select 1 or the other, but these 2 are the best materials from my personal experience,
10th now we have this inside the environment

11th now select the diffuse tab in the top right next to the materials,
select diffuse/replace texture

then simply load your PSD file you saved with your AO map and UV,
but UV is not normally required here there is settings inside photoshop much more advanced than using the rendered UV its live and adjustable with colors and opacity,
once its loaded, then go to edit texture,

now we can see that both are open 3D/2D,

12th go to the "IMAGE" tab and select image size,

make the resoltion match the 3D this is important that both documents match each other will improve the final merging of logos and settings, like so,

13th make sure here on the top right of the document that its set to "projection" again this is important to ensure a true merging of the layers from A/B

then click "save" on this 2D PSD layer,
go back to the 3D Layer and click save document, if you have more than just 1 material or objects with multi materials, simply repeat this process on all layers loading them 1 by 1,
now we have a completed 3D PSD, which is storing all your 2D PSD also.

I hope this helps somewhat.

Oh how often I checked that post when doing the reflection map for a skin. Great info!

EDIT, I see whats happening,
how come the model is semi transparent lol ? strange keyshot settings those,
when you use keyshot its best to use just diffuse as .png and not dds, if you use dds you need to make sure to tick the alpha settings, but best to just use .png and no dds looks a lot better.
