[Resource] Vinyl grid files

Hey everybody! I’ve been making graphics & paint jobs since FM2, and there’s something i’ve always wanted to see… so since i’m not terribly good at finding it on the internet (or here), i made it myself. I hope somebody finds this useful. It’s the grid background we all know & love. I use it in Photoshop/GIMP/whatever as a background or difference layer so i can mess around trying to recreate photos, logos, graphics, or designs i make myself on laptop.

I hope this is allowed here, and if it’s already been posted before numerous times by people vastly better than me, please do feel free to report/remove this post.

Here’s the link to a folder on my Google Drive with the Illustrator and Photoshop files, plus PNGs with transparent, white, and black backgrounds.

Here’s a screen grab showing you how i use it:

Here’s what it actually looks like when i use it when recreating stuff from my laptop in Forza

Do note that i personally suck at Illustrator, so although i did my best to line everything up as perfectly as possible, it does have unbelievably messy edges. Even the Photoshop files could be vastly improved upon. No doubt others here have already done a far, far better job at this same sort of thing than i tried to do.

Good idea!

But…

Do you know about Glass2k?

I do, and i haven’t even tried it yet, but i’ve had laptops in the past which couldn’t handle streaming from Xbox very well, and would get bogged down and slow to a clunky, choppy crawl. Although back then the Xbox app was a good bit more clunky in itself. Anyway, this would just be for those who either don’t want to or for some reason can’t use G2k. I think Mac and Linux users would fit that bill too, if i’m not mistaken?
