This car is clean!!! It looks so good in the game, great job! How long did it take you to paint it?

Thank you! :happyblush

Well - I'm working with 3 or 4 cars at a time right now for the 1997 carset I'm doing. So an exact time figure I can't give you, heh. But I know I showed another member an in progress screenshot on the 29th and I posted a pic of the finished car Halloween evening. So, maybe 4 days working on/off on it?

Going through my catalog of back work from the Team SBR days and picking out my favorites to redo and update on the newer templates that are available now.

Even though we were painting on 'High-Resolution' templates back then, newer ones like the Splash N Go 03-05 cup templates are still like 50% larger - so virtually none of the original raster graphics I have can really be used.... case in point: Ricky Rudd's 2002 Iron Man (656 starts) scheme. Top is the original I did for SBR..... posted 2/5/05, lol.... using the original game's cup templates and the bottom is one I just completed using the new SnG 03-05 template (Thanks to Garrett1127 for the render).

The ONLY graphic shared between the two is the 'Iron Man' logo I made for the hood way back when. Everything else was redone from scratch... in Vector format this time!

Taking a break from the 1997 carset to 'remaster' and complete the set of 8 Coca-Cola C2 cars that ran the 2004 Pepsi 400. I originally painted 4 of them when I was back with SBR.

The time has arrived Stunod-oes! Aside from the driver layers the Coke C2 schemes are complete! And Garrett was gracious enough to cook me up some spiffy-ass final renders to show off to you all. These will be officially posted as a set for download once the driver and team layers are complete.

I'll get the credits out of the way here right away seeing as everything is essentially the same for all 8 of these;

2004 Coca-Cola C2 paint schemes as run at the Pepsi 400 at Daytona

CREDITS

Logos: From various online sources; some self altered to match time period. Sharpie pens are my own vector creation.
Template: Cup 03-05 mods from Splash N Go and Studio Speed.
Numbers: from Big Evil Racing.
Contigs: from Splash N Go.
Renders: Done by Garrett1127

*as a side note I chose to go with the 2003 Taurus game model rather than the 2004 for aesthetic reasons. The 2004 model has that super low-swept speedway nose and that didn't really match visually with the aero package that ran in this particular race.

I know you said on SRD you chose the 2003 Ford Taurus because it is closer to the SS cars, but that mean the fords will NOT be able to be used with the rest of their 2004 counterparts without the fronts being screwy, due to the stark contrast in mapping.

Because of this, would it trouble you to make a 2004-2005 ford version as well? Feel free to call me out as overbearing or stupid if I'm being too much. I just feel that having these 2004 cars that are unable to be run with the other 2004 cars makes no sense :/

You do have a valid point - I was only really looking at it in context of this set being able to be run together - not as a whole being able to run with other 2004 season cars that folks had painted. I've been painting solely for realism for long enough that I forgot about eventually having to make concessions so I can actually load them into the game, lol.

I pulled open the 04-05 temp here and I know the front ends are going to need a full redo - but the sides shouldn't require much vector tweaking if any. Let me see what I can cook up :)

@DaleTona Here's what I ended up with from just a quick full layer swap - shouldn't be too hard at all to port these over to the 2004 maps. Just a little massaging of the vector layers that run over the front and rear boundaries.

What the 2004 map WILL allow me to do is fully recreate the weird 'leftover colors' that Greg Biffle had on his front end. The bumper crease and around the upper grill still showed the blue from his normal Guard scheme which made it pretty obvious they 'wrapped' the design onto these bodies, heh.

I was wondering about that myself, but I haven't played with the mod yet so I wasn't sure what could and could not be done. I remember back in the days of SBR there used to be templates that gave the illusion of a SS body on a standard model, can something be done to that effect to help the realism aspect you are going for?

If it is any help...

"Chevy SS" is the Holden Commodore SS VF. Back in 2004, Holden was building the VY Commodore.

We have a template which has the front end of that in:

Our resident scholar martinrace made this. It is excellent.

You can probably smith this to your heart's content, to get a contemporary 2004 SS.
