so here are the 1024x1024 online skins in 32bit (V2 only). i will have to convert them for 16bit again, as i'm not that satisfied with the ones i have, bit of a clay-tint to them right now. 16bit will always be a compromise, but i did that for the 512x skins included in the mod as well. so i will have to recheck my notes on the exact values for the conversion process

side note... the #7 skin is actually pretty much the same as the #7 skin of 1966 at the nurburg ring - where the 2D won. just thought i'd throw that in here .

Just made the jump to 2560x1600 and the 2D 2048x skins are absolutely stunning.  Thanks for these and I look forward to any other AI 2048x skins you can release.

I can't see any difference. Is there something i am doing wrong?

hi, depends on what exactly it is you're doing
just tell us what you did and what the result was (if any)

[oppolo]

don't you do 512x512 as for others cars?

thank a lot also for your others skins and for ferrari wheels

hi oppolo

i'm afraid i haven't done those yet. or rather i have not converted them to 16bit as i had issues with the colours there. i could upload 512x512 32bit textures when i'm back home, since i just need to run them through papybmp. the 16bit versions however need some work - and at this time i cannot find my notes for the GT cars i did. like for example i had to trawl through our private forums for some of the info i posted on the ferrari teams the other day.

do you need 32bit (type7, requires v2 rasterizers) or 16bit (type5, works with any rasterizer)?

[oppolo]

32 bit, thanks a lot

thank a lot, waiting for all others cars

without wanting to spoil it, but that may turn out to be a longer wait. i think tommie did the porsche in 1024, quite possibly in 32bit originally, too, so that might be an option once he is back again. as for the the other fords, i believe ginetto's brother gentleman driver did the mk1 and francesco did the chaparral 2F - and for them the same applies. however anything higher than 1024x is possibly not in the cards without a complete overhaul of the skins (i.e. scratchbuilding them).
i was thinking about doing the MK4, as it share a rather big part of the MK2 skins in layout, and my personal favorite - the showgirl lola (i've got a 1/12 tamiya kit sitting here next to me waiting to be built ). but at this time it is not a priority. i have 2 bigger car projects and one major track project that i need to put a considerable effort into (actually track first, than cars) before i will consider going back to the GTs, so i wouldn't hold my breath there.

i'll ask francesco, ginetto and tommie if we can get type 7 skins of their cars in 512x, 1024x and if possible 2048. that might take some time either though

Thanks Sky

HERE you find the Jackseller way of doing it.
I know yours was a variant of it, maybe this will help you

Now I see the difference. I did something and something happened. Hah
