Question about the Camaro Concept 'Bumblebee' skin on some screenshots

TheJedi · 19-06-2008, 10:14 PM

Hi,

I did several searches in the forum and looked around at gridjoint.com but couldn't find any information about it.

I saw several screenshots of the Concept Camaro with a skin in the style of Bumblebee from the movie Transformers.

Is it a fanmade skin that's available for download somewhere?
Or is it some bonus car I've yet to unlock?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Edit:

Just found where that skin originates.
It's one of the standard liveries for AI Camaros, precisely it's cam/livery_01.

Those stripes found there are precisely of the same shape as the ones on Bumblebee. Just the colors and sizing are different.

Has anyone the ability to make those stripes into a user decoration for the Camaro? At the moment I'm not in possession of any programs that can read or edit dds-files.

Update:

Just found several handy freeware tools...

I altered user livery 04 now. This is how far I got sofar, based on the livery_01 but already altered to get something between the livery_01 and the original Bumblebee:

I'll do some vector graphics of this now, as the resolution of livery_01 is below what is needed for the user liveries.

Update 2:

Ok, I think this is it. Did a new version in vector graphics, exported it as bitmap and converted that one to dds and used the PSSG-Tool from gridjoint.com to get the dds into the game. I switched user livery 04 with this one... but of course this could be done to any of the user liveries.

It's my interpretation of the theme. It's not exactly as in the movie, but similar. I'm happy how it turned out:

Note: The border and the inner part of the decals can be colored independently in the branding menu.

Any interest in having this hosted somewhere?

Ok, I improved the old version again and did a slight alteration, a bit more true to the movie:

As you can see, color can be chosen just like with any other user livery.

I couldn't put the ends nearer to the front because they would have shown on the bumper already then.

Nice one, looks great... now just to make it transform!! Any insanely skilled modders out there??

(Also, your images just made me realise how glad I am I turned off post processing effects!)
