Daunt Paints

[Kenadian]

Wow great work Kyle.

I have no idea how you get so far into paints so fast? I do one little thing and it takes me ages to get it where I want it. Here you paint a full car before it's released.

I bet it takes me a week to do both.

Haha it's a bit tough and I really have to look at the pieces and figure out what goes where. With this scheme it's established, it's not something totally from scratch so it's a bit easier to plot out. So I know how what I want where and I have the assets planned out for the most part.

Normally I do some in photoshop then see how it is in-game and go back and forth constantly, and it will likely need tweaking once I see how it comes together, the front bumpers (the right and left of the grill, where the fog lights are) are a bit tricky. Overall this car is pretty fun to paint. And as a bonus, the side intake is a lot simpler than the McLaren.

It also helps I live in photoshop. And in an Audi

Little bit of a sneak peek, which also shows how awesome my work computer is in terms of graphical polish.



I did in fact have to fix quite a bit. The rear of the car, on the template, is oddly upside down. Both sides of the wing also needed to be flipped from inside out. Then of course minor touches to line things up... again, the back is a bit of a pain for this.

Sneak peek of my current secret project! Almost done with it!

Going to start racing with a new Patron paint - currently still a WIP.

INCREDIBLY happy with the way it turned out. Spent a few hours making sure everything lined up perfect. Well worth it...

Making great strides...

Honestly painting the merc is awful. There's so much bloody distortion on some of the panels and such it is impossible to tell how things are going to appear until you render it. A PITA for sure.

 

[Dorsen]

Damn! All those lines must have taken ages to make!

 

[Daunt]

Yes. It is taking ages. Still. At the very hard part now...

Fuck the Mercedes!

 

[Dorsen]

Oh, jesus! May the god of pixels be with you!

 

[Kenadian]

Yup, vents on the Merc suck ass.

Great job so far though!

 

[Daunt]

Thanks guys. I think I'm done with the paint... here's that stupid vent now:

I plan to post this to trading paints tonight and will take a few nice screens tonight.

 

[Kenadian]

I look forward to it Kyle. I already stated I'm not a big fan of the scheme but I think what you've done looks terrific!

I may actually drive it a few times myself just as a show of respect.

Whoa I'd like to see that! Honestly it's not my favorite theme at all, but I do love it just for how unique it is. The design is cool but not what I'd choose to run.

Anyway, here's the reveal:
