Praise and questions from an old guy who is still figuring stuff out

Good day, gentlemen (and ladies). I’ve been a fan of this game for awhile, since its beginning really. I bought an XboxONE simply because of Forza 6. I’ve always been blown away at the level of craftsmanship shown by you livery creators. The level of artistic prowess is truly awe inspired. I’ve created a few of my own, but they are not nearly the same quality of most. I’d post a picture or two, but I still haven’t figured that bit out yet.
When I say I’ve created a few, I mean basically the same design for lots of different cars, inspired by Evel Knievel. (Yes, when I said old guy I mean’t it… I recently turned 50). Still getting a handle on things but I have been inspired by all of the artwork I’ve seen in the livery libraries.

Couple of questions though. 1. How do I post pics here? Do I have to access forums through the console, or can I do it from here (my laptop)?

  1. What is required to achieve a 5 star rating? Just curious, I’m interested in collecting the achievement. I have a number of 4 stars, but haven’t busted that 5 star cherry yet. The most downloads any of my designs has gotten is 83. Is there a formula involving downloads, likes and uses?

I guess thats it for now, don’t want to dwaddle on… Again, Kudos for all the outstanding livery work you artists contribute. Truly Awesome work!

Stars are based on a combination of downloads, likes and uses. Each is weighted differently and I’m sure there’s a formula (unknown to me at this time) that figure it out.
Short answer, it varies…

Looks like you received good advice from some great painters. By the way, you’re still a youngster, I’m in my early 60’s. Like you, I too purchased my Xbox One just for Forza. I’m still learning to use the livery editor with varying degrees of success.

I enjoy painting in the game because it’s like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, figuring out what shapes to use is a challenge and helps keep my mind active. Keep at it! Looking forward to seeing some of your work.
