I have GIMP Maff; still don't think it's as user friendly as the Forza image editing.....but then I have about as much patience as........(bored now

)

Cheers guys, it was only a quick design using what I already had (and doing the Rosssport one on the fly) but I'm quite chuffed how it turned out.

I see what you're saying Ben (the APT logo on Gary's car crosses the rear window), only reasons I didn't do mine that way is that Forza won't show decals as they cross glass (hence why the sunstrip is on the roof

), and I didn't want the APT and Rosssport logo's to be too overpowering. When I get a chance I'll try it though.

To begin with, no, haha. All you have is various primitive shapes, gradients, a few random decals and numbers/letters and you have to spend a lot of time to create something complex. The APT logo was easy, but the full Automotive Performance Tuning took ages as I had to generate the font out of squares, curves, etc, so it contains 100's of shapes to get the outcome. Once you're going it's not too bad though.

If you search Youtube for Forza designs, there's timelapse stuff showing how creative some people can be. You'd be surprised what you can make from 1000 basic shapes.

If we're quiet one day when you're over I'll have to bring my xbox in so you can have a look and a play. For totally constructive reasons, of course.
