Nice stuff Afro, I’ve been playing with liveries since F3, missed F4, then jumped back in with F5. Nowhere near as good as you guys, but aspiring to get at least a little close. Some amazing work from all those concerned.
It’s great to see such a cohesive community that’s willy and able to help those new to the game…
Thanks man, I started painting in Forza 2, I really started getting into the meat of it during FM3 though. You just gotta keep at it, I personally like to look to other designs, on here and in the real world for my motivation. If you’re really looking to expand your creative talents, I find doing replicas to be the best way to do so. Plus, they increase your catalog of decals.
Not yet, only have a few decent liveries at moment, working on building up logo stable to use.
I have some older style “custom pains” ala- circa '60’s etc, the new Mazda racer, and a Hurricane, both of which have had several DL’s and ‘likes’…
All of which is quite encouraging.
I have a full bank of pics in my Gallery, but the Mazda and ‘finished’ Hurricane aren’t in there -yet.
Need to organise a Flickr page to transfer my gallery so I can continue to do photo work. Love photography, used to do RL cars for a few Aussie mags back in the '70-80’s, plus art shots of artitechture etc.
Working on a proper Nitros sticker at the moment…
It’s very rewarding doing them, that’s for sure.
I suffer from what’s termed as “Contstant & Unremitting Pain” which affects my lower back, hips and upper legs. Forza and FPS-ears help produce adrenaline, which is the bodies own opioid drug. When combined with my daily mess, it helps reduce the pain on bad days.
A study was done here in Australia with young burn victims, where they used a PlayStation to help with kids as they changed burn bandages etc.
They found the pain wasn’t as severe, and it helped take their minds off the extreme pain…
I’ve found the racing genre and shooters to be of great help.
I’ve had this since 1981… So it’s been with me for some time…
Creating things such as liveries and logos help…
Shame they didn’t continue the huge array of manurfacturers decals that were wildly available in Forza 3… Must have been huge licensing and trademark issue etc…
I know your pain, it runs in most of my mom’s side of the family, I haven’t experienced it myself, but I have seen the effects of it quite a few times. It’s good you’ve found something that dulls it somewhat.
I’ve always wanted to explore phtography, especially auto photography, an suggestions on a good entry level camera to start out?
