When skinning vehicles for Band of Others, this is always one of the areas that consumes a lot of time as I've mostly no idea of what real-world sponsors are supposed to be on these vehicles year on year?
To dumb the issue down, for GT World Challenge (GT3 spec racing), Pirelli is the tire partnership but for IMSA, I believe it's always Michelin.
When I make a new skin I'd love this to be as accurate as possible so I view hundreds of images over multiple search strings which takes many hours. The 2027 Band of Others BMW M4 GT3 is based on many images from all Teams in GT World Challenge Europe, mostly settling on Team WRT. It took time to come up with the BMW Motorsport sponsor as I want the largest image (1000 px image if I can get it, preferably vector but often settle for transparent background .png) as they scale the cleanest and allow for layering of both black and white versions.
Editing the BMW Motorsport made sense as Team WRT (for example) only race BMW so this one sponsor can cover all BMW's if I so desire.
Currently I have seperate folders for B2O such as B2O Branding and B2O Sponsors (community Focused such as Fanatec, Logitech G, Track IR, Socials). I also have a folder specific to Drivers and have you all included so I can just enable/disable Driver names and manipulate placement as needed.
These are a Godsend and what I hope to do for all branding going forward.
...but I need your help as my knowledge and time is very limited.
An example of what I left off the BMW M4 GT3 are sponsors such as Rowe, brembo, H&R, Turner, Liquid Moly, and a whole host of others.
I'd love these identified under GT3 or IMSA and included in seperate folders on every livery going forward, it makes skinning so much quicker and easier.
Laslty, equipment used in the Community, are there any updates on what you want to see on the car? Here I'm also a bit weak as Fanatec is now Corsair. Having said that, I watch GT World Challenge Europe and know many drivers are sporting Fanatec Wheels like Valentino Rossi so I can't see adding Corsair to the liveries but I just don't know for sure?
Double lastly, I can save these files on there own and make them publicly available as well should the B2O Community require them.
Any input deeply appreciated.
