    I think I might move the Mobil 1 logo on this one ...



    I improved a bit on the Castrol Perkins "silver bullet" livery as well

    Good stuff so far

    I see far too many liveries where the logos are either super huge or super tiny, or way too many of them. You seem to be getting that balance right, but that's not difficult when you are able to refer back to a real car.

    That Mobil logo, I presume you're talking about the one across the nose there? You could try making it smaller and projecting it from a lower angle. You know in Gran Turismo how you can adjust the camera angle to straighten up the sticker application? If you lower the camera and angle it upwards slightly it might make the bottom edge of the Mobil text line up more naturally with the pointy bit of the nose.

    What I normally try and do is get the camera aligned so that it looks directly at the surface as much as possible, rather than being directly above or to the side, as that can prevent a sticker stretching out and looking weird. But sometimes you can purposefully muck with the camera and use this to your advantage. For example when I made the Marlboro sponsored F1 GTR I noticed the real car had a logo that curved to match the seam line on the front bumper. I certainly wasn't going to go to the effort of uploading a curved logo myself so I just took a straight one and lined up the camera in *just* the right way.

    Yep, the nose logo. I think I'll move it above the badge ... maybe invent something small below it. I did play around with the camera angle and projection for that one but I reckon I gave up and half-arsed it

    Fitting a family sedan livery onto cars like this can be a challenge!

    Got a link to your profile/gallery? This is mine. Hopefully that works.

    Here's mine. It's rather sparse.

    My GT Sport profile is a bit more fun.

    Bugger, can't see the GT Sport one ... I guess because I've never played

    Took me ages to figure out a method for doing this one, so now it look like I have a new theme ...






    Seems to look good on everything too!
