I like the first one - needs a bit of colour though.
Also, it looks like the decal on the front right spoiler has been cut off - just needs resizing by the looks of it.

What program are you using Smurfen? I think we can help you get a bit more clarity than you are getting now in the image.

smurfen, first I like the first pic. It's simple looking with just the small graphics on the side. That is a nice graphic, I like it. In the CMX viewer when you do a screen capture, press the space bar. That turns off the menu stuff. Good luck with future skinning. You will pick up many many tips and help here.

Well if you are using that, when you save your file turn all the compression off. Your skin has blurry edges to all the graphics, probably caused by compression. For your screenshots you can turn Anti Aliasing on in your video card advanced properties. 2X AA should get rid of those jagged edges to the car in the screenshot. |

another technique that i regularly use if you cannot, or simply cant be bothered, turning AA on for screenshots is to make your LFS game resolution as high as it can go, and then resizing your screenshots to a more suitable size, say 800x600 or below -- this usually eliminates the jagged edges, but costs you making larger screenshots (which most of the time you wont be doing anyway) but hey, it works, and its what i use! ;D heres a quick example with your skin;  this screenshot was originally taken using no AA whatsoever. it was about 1000x700 before resizing, so you can see that it makes a lot of difference. but of course, there are still a few "jaggies" that you cant really get rid of unless you actually use AA, but it works pretty damn well for a quick editing trick. and here is the original file;  in this one you can really notice the large compression on the skin. you'd really want to try and eliminate this big decrease in quality before you make any changes and re-release this skin. |
