To save space this is only for liveries unique to Forza Horizon 3 - carry over designs from FM6 are here
As usual, my design fall largely into 3 categories: Military aircraft, Carmageddon replicas and MFP vehicles from the first Mad Max movie. There’s a lot more MFP vehicles because, well, Australia:
I just changed the “Coyote Ugly” on the Coyote engined GT to “That Voodoo That You Do” to reflect the GT350’s new motor; and a new version of the USMC Corsair for the Chevy Nova that I last made in FM4:
Thank you! I saw it in a theater during it’s original release in the states, obviously it had a big effect on me. The idea of cops in hot rods dressed as 1950s JDs doing all the cool stuff and none of the boring stuff of being a part of law enforcement, against no shades of grey bad guys on the cusp of the apocalypse appealed to my 18 year old brain. I’m pretty sure MFP actually meant Em Effin’ Po-lice.
I was never sure if Mad Max was supposed to take place in the US or Oz, the small budget meant it obviously took place in Australia, but it could have represented anywhere in the world with a desert and a car culture…
Check out the link in the first sentence for other MFP cars carried over from past games, or, just visit my storefront I guess?
In 1981 I was 7 when my father took me to the movies to watch it.
Causing a great influence on my interest in cars since I was a child.
I’ve watched it countless times but the best one was the second movie in my opinion.
You did a great job on them and brought me some good memories of my childhood…
edit:
Just had a look at your FM6 gallery, great rides over there!!!
Thanks, SnakeEyes! Long been an admirer of your liveries.
To answer my own question about artist ranking, it seems to have to do with the number of design downloads; anything over zero is 1 star, over 1K is 2 stars…then I’m guessing 5k, 10k and 20k for the remaining ranks - but that’s just a guess.
This is my take on the Gulf livery for the Ford GT 2017 Horizon Edition; there’s a glitch on the mapping that doesn’t allow anything down the center of the top side, which was really limiting:
Ever since I saw this 1995 SVT kitted out like this I’ve been taken with it’s passing resemblance to the yellow submarine, but also surprised by how serious it appears - so I had to:
Progress on the pin-up; the original George Petty pin-up the Memphis Belle nose-art was based on. Sometimes the Memphis Belle nose-art shows the figure with the left hand down, bracing against the seating surface (as I had it in the 360 Forzas) and sometimes as it was in the original; it’s been repainted many times, and the original painter never imagined it would come under such scrutiny:
These show how rough graphics get when scaled too much, the first shot is much larger and clearer, and the second is showing the jaggies because of it’s small scale. It’s worrisome because it will typically be even smaller as “nose art” on a car.
These just show how dark the shadowed areas appear when actually on a vehicle, even though they are barely differentiatable in the vinyl editor (mostly just the right forearm and hand).
I need to have this color blocking sit until I can be sure the proportions look right before adding detail, shading and outlines. Also, it shows how little detail makes it to the finished livery even when rendered this large, informing me what level of detail I can get away with and what level just muddies the graphic.
Work ground to a halt on the pinup when I realized that I’ve already done all my warplane tribute liveries, I would need to redo all of them to include this new pinup which looks not great when reduced to the size necessary to fit on the cars.
Anyways, I recreated my “Tiger Bomb” Pontiac GTO livery:
