Your mod is amazing. You are very talented Mystical.
Will the mod come with a carset?
Nice mod, what kind of damage model would you use? I just found out about this mod a few hours ago. Good luck with making a new mod!
P.S. I am excited to see the final mod!
This looks amazing! I just want to ask though, if I make my own templates, will I have to warp the front and rear end decals to line up with the templates because of the curvature?
With all the manufacturer templates I've created so far I didn't have to do much if any warping. I'd say the farthest I had to do was with make3 which is the pointy longer nose work on the lower grill areas a bit and curve them slightly but even then if you properly angle your decals and parts right it will appear correct. For things like the text I slightly curved to match the UV paths of the wirerframe on the front and rear bumper but it was very easy to do by using the bend filter in gimp to achieve this. Pretty much all elements were made straight in affinity photo and I didn't have to use 3D Coat to apply the decals to make it work or anything so any 2D paint application should be fine. Since the UV's for these models are 100% proper scale and unfolded/relaxed with minimal deformation (thanks to 3D Coat's great UV unwrapping method) it means textures applied to the model have minimal warping or stretching issues.
To put into perspective of the 16 manufacturers I created I was completing one about every 1.5 days and in some cases getting one done in a day so I'd say it will be pretty easy for users to make their own manufacturers with little resistance as long as they have the technical skill to place the decals correct of course and add the extra details to make it look good.
