I'm new to sim racing and I'd really like to be able to design my own paint schemes for World of Outlaw style sprint cars and wonder how I go about it and also wondering where I can find a league or series to race with and what kind of down loads to i need to get to go about doing all this??? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction, Thanks everyone!!!
nhsprintcar12@aol.comAre you running the NR2K3 Sprint car mod or the Boz Sprints (
http://www.bozracing.com ) RFactor mod as there's sprint car mods for both games and there's various dirt tracks available for both as well? Either way you're going to need the associated templates and a good paint program. There's a # of options there really but the two most popular are Adobe Photoshop and Corel Paintshop Pro. If looking for a free option there's also The GIMP which is an open-source bitmap image editor originally designed for Linux.
For graphics, a lot of people are relying on vector based illustration apps. similar to Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator as they provide a robust set of tools (with a steep learning curve) but give you flexibility in scaling your logos to various sizes for different functions. There's also an open-source program called Inkscape that, similar to The Gimp, was originally created for Linux and similar to how Photoshop is complemented by Illustrator, and Corel Paintshop Pro is complemented by Corel Draw, Inkscape as a vector app. complements The Gimp nicely. It saves all files into vector .svg files which can be opened by just about any bitmap-based image editor.
