I'm playing around (trying) to create my own skins, I'm having trouble adding images to the dds in gimp. When I load my skin in RFactor everything is fine except without the images. I'm new to skinning so I'm guessing it's beginners oversight. Any help is appreciated thanks
I tried flattening image, is that what you mean? That just distorted everything. I'm pretty sure i'm exporting to the correct place, its fine until I place images onto it. I'll keep trying
I've fixed it, I think I merged layers. Do you know of any tutorials out there on painting skins (mine look ****) Fair play to the guys who can do it

the size of you file... 1024x1024, 2048x2048 and 4096x4096 will give you a wide variation in quality of detail. That and the original dpi of your file. #Warning# The file size of the Skin will depend greatly on the selection you make in the format of the DDS. I use the selected one below... View attachment 17495 I'm pretty sure if you use the 32.32.32.32 it will be the size of a Space Station.
Thanks Kristoff I never considered the size would have so much impact, trying to learn as much as I can. Should of started painting on RF1....
