    Thanks we have been needing a simpler skin tutorial for awhile.

    After a few minutes (don't know how much) I came up with this fast and furious inspired paintjob.

    Doesn't work for me :/ I created a skin and followed all the steps. Was I supposed to rename the file to dds?

    Hey ,

    Could you please both send me your skins made after the tutorial ? I need to check where is the error on the instruction or try to make them more clear :)

    Thank you

    Ok it's because you change the proportions of the dds image , the best is to keep the exact same proportions of the original one : (ex: 2048x2048 for the covet)

    Thank you , i have now added an advice on the tutorial about this ;)

    just ask how can you do some paint on the glass just like the one on Sunburst Custom, I have noticed that this is not mentioned in the simple skin tutorial, I asked yesterday but you guys didn't reply to me:p

    I have already wrote a jbeam and a material.cs,
    I basically copied those stuff in the original Sunburst files, but the new texture is not showing up with the livery, I'll put all my stuff down below

    They did reply:
    Unfortunately it seems you are utterly incapable of the latter.

    Well they said the meeting have ended and I think this will be a good question to show up here 'cause maybe there are other people want to do this too, and as I said devs didn't mentioned it in the tutorial:p

    There's an official UV map coming next update, but until then you need to know UV unwrapping. Easy concept, very hard to master.
