I was surprised (kind of) to see Brian Simpson's name at the head of the article shown in the intro. I was using his templates way back in the Papyrus NASCAR days (via Team Lightspeed). It's good to see he is still part of the team.

I believe he's the head arts guy at iracing going off his bio...I don't really go deep into the forums but surely he works there...we got some top notch aussie painters too mate check out Paul Mansell on trading paints 🤙

I had a mess about with this today, and if you want to get even more into the weeds you can make a new blue channel folder. I've got 2 different kinds of gloss for stickers and an accent pop, mattes, and metallics; and you can tell it with each layer whether the clear coat is on or off (and how strong the effect is). So I've excluded my mattes from the clear coat and kept everything else shiny using the same folder & layer merging conventions as the metallic and roughness channels. Hope someone finds that helpful!

Even with the clear coat at lowest value I still reckon it looked better before...you've gone deeper into it than I have, I normally just run Chrome paint / full matte for livery bits / and then chrome number fill I've been experimenting with 🤙🏁

Dear Mr Boot. I wait your reply to business. Thank you many

[@boothys_sim_racin]

Hi Mr Deng, I still haven't received any email from you ?

Piss off dopey 😂

I started to twitch watching this. Way too complicated. What I did get from it though, at the end when he shows the new colour spec.... what you used to use for chrome was pink.. now its red. What you used to use for matt was blue.. now its green.

Like I said in the video I'm no graphic designer or pro painter, this way has worked for me many times over

[@rossphillips2048]

You are over complicating your paints far too much. If you want a better looking chrome turn your Red layer to around 175 Green layer to around 40 and Blue obviously all the way to 0. And lighten your base color you were using before. The new clear coat layer isn't just control of the "matte". This also has Metallic "color changing" effect within it.

I don't want full flat out silver chrome. I'm not sure how I'm over complicating it, I'm not a graphic designer this simple way worked for me for a long time

[@rossphillips2048]

@@boothys_sim_racin With the spec maps you don't have to use color channels. That's a ton of extra work. If you have a way to message you. I can shoot you my discord and show you a far simpler faster way.

Appreciate the help but the way I do them now doesn't take me long at all tbh, email is in my about bio 🤙
