Matte paint

[Bryson Russell]

So one of the paint schemes I’m working on I would preferably like to be matte, but cant seem to figure out how to make it like that. What do I do?

First off, Matte doesn't show up well in the game (especially in the car select menu) because of all the reflections the game puts on the car.

But, here are some tutorials on how to make matte colors:

Matte effect in photoshop

Matte textures in GIMP

Alright, I may look into that, but if it doesnt show up too good in game, ill just upload it normally

I almost view a matte paint closer to a material rather than a type of paint. I don't know the science behind it, but it seems like the material sort of swallows the light instead of reflecting it. The in-game engine is obviously responsible for mimicking light and reflection and I simply don't think the rendering engine was prepared for such a style.

One thing you could try and do your best with a matte material, and whatever else is on the car (decals, complimentary paint designs) you can try and apply some effect that gives it more of a glossy look/feel. That way you're playing with the mind with a steep contrast in glossiness. Just spit ballin'.
