Sim Racing Design

Hello all - first post here

Is it possible to convert Nascar 2003 paint schemes to Arca Re/Max? And if so, is it easy? (I'm no painter / psd geek )

Thanks in advance for any advice,

MM

unless the scheme is in 2048...doubtful. It can be redone...ie repainted but converted not really.

ok - thanks for the reply - I'd betta start painting

MM

That is not true, you can size down the template to use it. But you will have to repaint the whole car all over again.

I think the person who could develop a "paint converter" to transform nr2003 cup paints to the Arca sim cars could make thousands of dollars charging out a very small fee to convert...lol.

Would be nice... its a shame to have such great cup paints and not be able to use them in Arca without a re-paint.... but I guess that's the price we pay to switch games.

After looking at other templates I have noticed a great differance between the main ARCA ones and others available. The main parts of the car drivers side/Passanger side roof and bonnet face the other way.

But with a bit of twiddling it is possable to make them fit.

Speaking as a painter, you can pretty much "convert" any car from one template to a different one\model, given that you have the scheme saved with layers.

Then its just a matter of resizing, refitting, and re-lining up all of the elements on the new template\model to make it look like what you were "converting", or rather transferring the original layers from.

Unfortunately, there is no convcievable way to do a conversion at the press of a button, but it can be done. It will just take some work.

Alot of work, time & most of all....patience.

I also have been wondering if you can use any NSR cars in ASR, considering they share the same .dds format. I actually tried to put a 2007 Michael Waltrip skin and it came out upside down.

No you can't. While they are both .dds format, they are different models so they do not map the same.
