Open the format file, which will be the "exterior_body_drift2.psd" file. Once you're done with it, you're all set. Save the result on a folder (recommended if in a Pictures or Documents folder). Recommended file size is 4096x4096 (2048x2048 is the Kunos pipeline minimum for decalized liveries, by the way.) I recommend the Body preset for generating AO for car body, and Rims for car rims.

Select the three dots besides the txDiffuse name, and then get the wireframe and the generated AO with their AO generator (Calculate AO button). How do you do that exactly?Īs obvious, select a car, then open up the CM Showroom.Ĭlick on a part of a car you want to paint on the CM Showroom from Content Manager. However, fear not, because this is where the Content Manager Showroom stars on AO generation. The way you just read above is rendered useless for cars you got from mods, however, as the skins folder ONLY includes Kunos car templates. Some may not have the carbon template, but all have the body template and so on. You may need it, if you want to edit the carbon stuff of the car.īad thing is, you can't get 4096x4096 (very recommended resolution for most skins) via Kunos, unless you upsize it. The other file, exterior_carbon.psd will alter the carbon parts of the car. The one we will be focusing on is exterior_drift2_body.psd file. So, we navigate to the ks_toyota_supra_mkiv_tuned folder. The folders you see there contains your livery layouts. You can find the layouts atĬ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\sdk\dev\skin_templates. You are more than welcome to watch his YouTube video:Īfter you've followed the steps, you will need the layouts for your skinning. This guide will still focus on the Legacy version, so keep that in mind.Įxtra author's note: A good friend of mine, itsDraik made a video that could explain the process better than this guide on skinning. Feel free to use either Legacy or the new version if you want.
#3dsimed3 safe update#
: NVidia made an update on the new DDS plugin, and it claims that it should've fixed the issues plaguing that version. Do note that its DXT5 compression can be bad. > Author's recomendation: old plugin is preferredĪuthor's note: This plugin is the most recommended for skinning, due to its abilities on saving DDS files with 8.8.8.8. You may want to consider Photoshop, as it saves DDSes better than GIMP, it works better. In Assetto Corsa, the livery making system is not like the ones like in Forza (i guess).
