Make Your Money Race For You

[James Hodge]

I just switched over from Chase to a local credit union and opened a joint checking account with my wife. I already had my car loan with them, and I get 2.26% APY on my checking, so it was a no-brainer. I based this car off of my new debit card, which has the same cool blue metal flake to it. I used this as an experiment to do a matte/glossy paint scheme. You can really see the effect in the in-game video. Let me know what you guys think!

I thanked your post solely because whenever you post work in here I can't really find anything to critique, and I love that. Just amazing...

Very cool scheme! Fits sponsor perfectly.

Nice ride, those colors are slick :thumbup1:

There's absolutely no constructive criticism on this one. Looks flawless dude.

Mr. Hodge, forgive me for asking if this sounds like a dumb question to everyone else, but what is the track you made that video on and is it available anywhere? Looks like something I could replace Martinsville with in my season since I just cant figure out the trick to running there.

Any reply is appreciated.

That's Proving Grounds. I've had it for a while and forget where I got it but a Google search should produce some results.

Love the car. Did you touch the ingame reflection files for that or is it the "just" the colors?

 

[James Hodge]

Yeah, I made a custom shiny.mip just for that car. I won't be able to race using it since it would be applied to all of the cars. Just thought it'd look cool as a one-off.

I thought so. I made a matte black car with shiny black decals once using a modified shiny.mip and importing a flat black car. Looked awesome on this one car. Weird on the other cars though.

That's awesome!
