NASCAR 09 Custom Car Thread

Well I decided today to try my hand and creating a car, and I don't think its too bad for a first time job, but I don't know if I will be able to actually sit down and redo it or anything later.

Nice job, Dark! You the same DB who used to run in my NR2003 league years ago?

[Darkbandit]

That would be me.

Here's a few of mine. Not really that great at creating fancy schemes but have a blast trying to.

West Memphis Three Chevy
Psych/USA Network Chevy
Bud Select Chevy

TCOUCH the Miller Car is the most incredible car I have seen. I am not sure how you feel about this but would you be willing to share this one. I only play offline and will note share it.

In your opinion what's the easiest program to use for this feature? I'm sure some of you have only used one program so that's a difficult question to answer but I have Photoshop but for some reason I'm having a tough time with it, I just can't seem to get anything to look good and I went to upload one I did that was alright I guess just to get used to the process and found out I can't save it in the proper format .dds wasn't an option . Then I said well I'll try Paint.net and then couldn't download it, all I got was a page full of code. Any help guys would be great. Thanks

I prefer Photoshop but like you said, everyone has their preference.

The older versions of Photoshop dont have a .dds for 'save as' so you need to get a converter (I use DDS Converter 2) Within the converter under options you need to make sure you have it converting to a DXT1. Normally if you open the EA template no other settings needs to be touched. PSD > DDS converter

Practice, patience and time are the 3 major things to getting 'good' at the program. Every day I just google search for tutorials on features or ideas I want to do and I'm by no means great with the program

Sorry avrbas I'm still kinda confused with this part. Do I just search for DDS Converter 2 and download it? so PSD will work or...?

I was wanting someone to do this as I can't make one of these with my computer.
If only these could be loaded onto ea locker, or there was and auction house for them or something.
