ATCG Forza 2 Game Night Paint Job Poll for 3/5

OK as most people know we are having a Forza 2 Game Night every Wednesday. Since participants are putting some effort into customizing their cars for game night, I'd thought it would be a good idea to add a "Best Paint Job" contest to the festivities.

So, here is the first and hopefully not the last contest where the winner gets a great big helping of :beer::thumbsup: for winning.

Thanks to CKDragon for capturing all the pics this week.

1) CKDragon's "Light Red" Mustang
2) Guuts' #03 Car. (2nd Pic)
3) OneSkinneeJ's #54 Car.
4) Queasy's "Hit Me" Mobile. (2nd Pic)
5) LiveSpidey's Heavily Sponsored Car. (2nd Pic)
6) SuperJohnyo's White Flames Car
7) Abel007's "Land Shark" Car. (2nd Pic).
8) Blowfish's #9 car.

I guess we'll run this contest through Tuesday evening at 9PM EST. So vote early and vote often! I'll try to make this a weekly thing for as long as Forza 2 Wed Nights last if interest for it holds.

Update: VOTING IS CLOSED

superjohnyo's White Flames car wins!

Heh - No pressure. 😛 Just have fun with it and don't put in an inordinate amount of time. I think I put it all of about 15 minutes on mine.

The only rule though is, no buying the paint job from somewhere else. If we start seeing Anime Women on cars, we'll know something is up. 😉
 
Great idea, Queasy. It's a tough call for me, but I think I've got to give it to SuperJohnyo. He was right behind me for a good while on Maple Valley the other night and all I could see in my rear view mirror was that hood.
 
I guess I'm a sucker for a clean, classic-looking car with nice numbers, because this is totally between Guuts and OneSkinneeJ for me. SuperJohnyO's looks good but loses points for the "everything looks cool in black so he shouldn't get credit for it" factor. 😛

I'll go with OSJ, since for some reason I can't stop looking at the decal bleeding on Guuts' back bumper (Not that it would be attached to the car for very long in a real race, anyway).

Ah, and sorry to you that I didn't get a picture of yours from last week. I only had two saved replays from before you joined so I didn't have one with you in it. I can't remember if it was painted or not.
 
Is there an easier way to do text on the car than just putting on the individual letters??

Greg


**EDIT: BTW I just spent about 10 mins skimming the Forza 2 Forums looking at paint jobs etc. WTF!! that is some insane work. How in the hell do they manage to get peoples faces and such on the cars without uploading pics to the game??

I mean the paint editor IMHO is rudimentary at best and I suck at it of course so how in the world do people come up with these things.

The best thing to do with letters (or with any design you want to reuse) is to save it and add it to the car each time you want to use it.

Here is someone showing how they did a Harley Quinn car. Yes, it is absolutely insane.

Yeah, it'd be nice if you could just type in (with the standard XBox kb interface, I guess) the text you want, but no, you have to add each letter from the decal menu. An easier (and somewhat quicker) way to do it is get your first letter on the car, do all the resizing, skewing, spinning you need to do, then use the "Stamp" function (I think it's the "Y" button) to place it, and now you have a "brush" or stamp of that letter with all the changes you made to it. Move the left stick to the right to the spot you want your second letter, stamp, and repeat until you have the correct number of letters.

Now you should have a word (or two, three, whatever) all of the same letter... select, say, letter 2 and it will bring up the options menu for that layer, choose "Change vinyl shape" or whatever is close to that, it'll ask you to verify (yes) and now you can just choose the letter you want, and it'll be in the right place with all the changes to size and shape you made already applied.

Hope that helps a bit.

It looks like Superjohnyo and Waldo both had the same amount of votes. What broke the tie? Mod favor? 😛

Looks like someone added a vote since I made the VOTING IS CLOSED post. Waldo had 4 votes at the time of my post.

I'll remember to remove the poll or something else next time.
