Open your template, for this tutorial, we'll use the Aston Martin GT3, but it's the same process for any car.This is a new requirement to generate the Region Map for the shader (each color region does represent a unique exterior material) We will now focus on creating the skin/livery elements, and then group them per material/region. The Ambient Occlusion map it's now global, and you don't have to worry about it. You won't need any Ambient Occlusion or shadows baked in the Albedo/Diffuse map, for that reason we don't need that map to be available in skin file either. How to create a 'custom team' and set up your skin so you can share it via 'skin transfer'.įirst, you'll need a raster graphics editor (for example Photoshop or GIMP).How to use the (new) 'material editor' (simply put, is a set of sliders and color pickers you'll access through your web browser).In this guide we will go through step by step:
However, it's pretty easy to get there by following a simple set of steps we will lay out. Coming up with a design, making edits and then getting your skin to show up in game or in the car showroom, might seem a bit daunting, especially the first time. Of course, just like learning a track layout for the first time, creating custom skins requires a bit of know how and like anything practice. it transfers to everyone in that session. rFactor 2 thankfully has a built in feature that allows you to transfer your skin to everyone on a server. Once you have that custom skin saved and ready for the world to see, the logical next step is to share it. Being able to immediately see your changes in real-time, gives you the ability to tweak the final outcome precisely, with maximum attention to detail.
You have up to six different "regions" for each livery, which means you have up to 6 different materials. For this purpose, we've introduced a simple shader interface that gives you access to material presets, like Carbon Fiber, Chrome, Vinyl for decals and stickers, High Gloss paint, even with metallic flakes and where you can also tweak the the lacquer tint. Especially when you can easily play around with the look and feel of a car's exterior 'in-game' and see the results in realtime. When you're not too busy trying to be faster on track, it can be just as rewarding to design and create your own custom skins.
