thats the case for many of us Quadro. Either you needed to be one of the first to ever upload a design for that car, be a Plaground games “pick of the week” or have a massive amount of followers. Otherwise its very hard to get a lot of downloads.
I hit a lucky spot with two designs that have over 20 downloads without any of the above.
Have you tried the weekly thing?
Nice paint by the way, can see you spent time and effort in that, a shame it hasnt gotten any downloads yet.
Nice work on the Senna tributes Quadro It works on both cars but I was wondering if you’ve done another version for the McLaren which caters for the (hideous) widebody kit? I’m sure a lot of tunes use it & I reckon the side image of Senna might get a bit distorted?
I saw your entry in this week’s Livery comp, that’s definitely the way forward if you’re looking to boost your download figures. You could maybe join an in-game Club or an Horizon related Xbox Club to get more exposure? I don’t do social media as a rule but if you’re on Facebook or Twitter etc, it can’t hurt to promote yourself there.
Keep plugging away, paint the things that you like & if by chance your design isn’t picked one week enter it in the next comp.…
I didn’t try the body kit and yeah, I won’t be surprised if it distorts the design. Even with stock build on these McLarens you have to align side and top layers to cover curves on the sides correctly, so I’m pretty sure any change to the body shape will kick the whole paint out of alignment, not just Ayrton’s face, the lines on the body as well.
Thanks, I do plan to stick to weekly competition, even if I never make it to the winning, it looks like fun. Time is the enemy though, work, kids and the rest of real life tend to steal precious hours from Forza
Yay!!! Senna livery made it to weekly contest winners!!!
[happy dance here]
Next up is Su-27 Flanker Jet Fighter livery on Acura NSX:
This one doesn’t have any bodywork-dependent lines so is easily transferable to pretty much any car. So if someone wants Flanker on their specific ride, let me know.
And while I’m holding my fingers crossed for SU-27 paint, here’s another fantasy, Winnie-the-Pooh, based on old Soviet cartoon which I always found kinder and cuter than Disney version:
First of all, nice gallery Quadro, I like the variety of your designs & also that you show your vinyl groups too
Also impressed with these, not often you see someone actually manoeuvre the shapes into place, they usually just cut the shapes from the screen then reverse the sequence so that the image ‘builds’. Good stuff, look forward to the next updates.
First is purely practical: I’ve never done any video editing, so I don’t have skills or tools for it. So I just hit “record” when I do decals and then simply glue parts together and speed it up till duration is something reasonable. Keeps the process fast and simple.
Second is more of ideology: when I opened livery editor in FM7 for the first time I was completely frustrated. I just couldn’t quite understand how people do the shapes for logos and decals. I searched youtube a bit and watched a number of timelapses made just as you describe, and they only confused me even more, because they don’t really show the process. So I thought maybe if I show it end to end, someone might find it useful and may be it will get someone else into painting.
It works on both cars but I was wondering if you’ve done another version for the McLaren which caters for the (hideous) widebody kit? I’m sure a lot of tunes use it & I reckon the side image of Senna might get a bit distorted?
