Comprehensive Tutorial for using Armorpaint for ACC - SRA

[@pixelpisasu]

i dont know what is acc-sra, but my man this video is very usefull as a overview for armour paint, so much info packed. thanks a lot for sharing!

[@Botbot1337]

No problem. ACC is Game the tutorial is for and SRA is our racing league. Just look up Sim Racing Alliance on google.

[@IBassGaming]

I usually make my liveries in blender but this looks a lot more userfriendly. Appreciate the indepth tutorial!

[@From33to77]

That is a great tutorial for in fact any sim where you have the 3d model and you want to paint. Switching between this and photoshop for some texturing is all you need. Awesome tool to project sponsors/logo on cars!

[@stephanvanoort4811]

Thanks for the great tutorial. Will the new Templates and wireframes for the cars that launch in the 1.9 DLC update today being added to the drive storage?

[@KDubber]

Looking to get into 3d painting for AC; I appreciate your tutorial shows the use of the 3d paint combined with working in Gimp to give the entire process. I love using Gimp for 2d painting, the one hurdle I kept coming across when looking into 3d painting was how to get solid sharp lines or desired shapes with sharp lines. I'll give this a more in-depth watch a few times to learn this software.

[@MacAttackYT]

thanks dude made it sound simple for us simple folks

[@tikuna2211]

Great Tutorial - helped me alot in understanding how to use Armorpaint

[@antoonsorg]

Would love to see more like this tutorial. Great work

[@DJV1VA]

thank you so much for THIS video! All the other guys only show how to do this with gimp. You saved me a lot of time and pain xp

[@americaswar3]

Super helpful! Even with my awful digital art knowledge I could figure this out. You'll see my livery on the track for season 8 😮

[@Scottish_Kiwi]

This is a great help and a well done video, thanks! Any chance of the Macca 720s Evo Obj ?

[@Mamika_AFK]

Very useful tutorial! Thank u very much! Really needed an introduction to Armorpaint lol 😆 New sub! 😄👍

[@maneszz8290]

Friend, that's great, but are there any off-the-shelf templates for new cars?

[@LucarioVz]

Hey man, great tutorial. So much easier than blender because of the layers. got one question, once I stamped a logo/shape, is there a way to move it around on the car? I want to make a livery, 1 with SRO numbers and one without and being able to move the layers would make it so much faster

[@Botbot1337]

@@LucarioVz unfortunately I don’t think there is a way to move a stamp once you have stamped it! Usually what I do is undo (ctrl-z) and re stamp until I get the desired location

[@AlterAndi]

great! thx for this tips. Was looking for an alternative to mudbox. I hate renting software so this is great.

[@Botbot1337]

Glad I could be of help

[@AlterAndi]

sry, but after a bit playing around with this - its good for slapping a texture on a model, but thats it. I regret to have payed for it . its clearly missing the paint part

[@elrincondelkikuelo]

Hi Jerry! thanks for tutorial! where can i find gt2 3d templates?

[@driesdemeyer2650]

Hi, Great video! Is there a template for the mclaren 720s gt3 evo, or can I use the template from the old 720?

[@starringjg]

Nice one .. thanks 👍🏻👍🏻.. keep posting the tutorials.. you’re good at it

[@normanfober8015]

It´s a very good tutorial for armorpaint! Thanks!

[@Calumnla]

Great video! Can you make a little video showing HOW TO get the sponsors on the liveries? I think I have selected number 100 for the "skinTemplateKey" in the json file (instead of 98 you were using) and it shows the number plates on the side of the car, BUT it doesn't show any of the sponsors like "pirelli on the livery. I was searching for a tutorial on YT but it seems there is no tutorial yet showing this particular task.

[@frankb4793]

Thanks for a great tutorial and resources Jerry!

[@TheTeamStealth]

Hey man! Thanks for the video! Can't wait to try some tools! But I am wondering, is there anyway to apply a gradient to pink skin you applied? Like having the pink pattern on the back of the car and slowly fade to the front? Maybe using the black and white gradient on a black mask? Is it possible?

[@tiagonovak6687]

Hi! Do you have new cars 3D. exemple: Ferrari 296, Maclare Evo2, all new cars in ACC? Thanks for your video, Congrats

[@justincutler7480]

Great video, thank you so much!

[@23InsideTheDevil23]

Great Job! Love it!

[@Jaiykk]

Good tutorial. I find some of the colours are very dark - or do not appear to be the same as when you load the car in ACC. Any suggestions? For example, teal-ish looks black and stickers look much darker.

[@Botbot1337]

Take a look at the material JSON file, metallic can make colors look much darker. Either that or simply jump back into armor paint or GIMP and make the colors brighter!

[@sylovesylbelgique]

Hello @JerryFinlke thank you for this well explained tutorial where can we find the obj templates for new cars? thank you, another question in armor paint the toolbar on the right I do not see the drawings but circles I would like the same basic bar tool. THANKS

[@mumpel_tg]

great video, unfortunately it does not work for me, whenever I rename or edit the car.json, I lose the team or the complete car in ACC (1.9.5). Also the decals & sponsors json are not created with me. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a difference in the template of McLaren 720s & 720s Evo?

[@larondiealpha7807]

excellent turtorial !! lol really GG

[@vasilliyfer]

Thanks for this guide. I made a custom livery and added a couple of stickers, inside the garage it looks fine, but on the track everything is just like in a lower resolution. Is it supposed to be like this or did I do something wrong? I checked and i set it correctly in 4k. Any thoughts?

[@ErnieGaming]

On the track all the DDS files will be automatically generated in half resolution (2048x2048). Possibly for performance reasons. In showroom it is 4096x4096. You may rename your full-res DDS files from showroom (decals_0.dds, sponsors_0.dds) to the DDS files used for the track (decals_1.dds, sponsors_1.dds) to have the full resolution also on track.

[@starringjg]

Hey Jerry, great video, do you have the template for a Ferrari 296?

[@Botbot1337]

Just added them, check the description.

[@oscar_sme]

Thanks for the tutorial, where can I get the 3d model of the ferrari 296?

[@SandooronBlitz]

Thank you - really like the tutorial. One thing however is that if I want to go to Object>>UV Island, this option is missing from the menu. Do you have an idea how to solve this as I am kinda stukc atm.

[@jazzy_jake]

I had this same problem, then realised I had not downloaded ArmorPaint from the link they put in the description. Try that?

[@SandooronBlitz]

@@jazzy_jake Yeah got it from the link but it wasn't working so I am using Blender for the liveries. Thanks anyway :)

[@AustinTownsend-f7r]

What am i doing wrong? copied every step of the export, changed skin template to 98 and custom skin name, made folder with copied skin name, added decals and sponsor from Armour paint, added paint textures. but when i go back into acc the team and car is gone?

[@Mac_Polen]

I mean the tutorial is made 11 months ago and it mightve changed

[@SamG-nq4pi]

great video! How can I focus the camera on a point of my mesh ?

[@Botbot1337]

Not sure what you mean, you can zoom in and out with the camera with the scroll wheel, and adjust the angle with the middle mouse button to the desired position. Or you can use viewport compass in the upper right.

[@SamG-nq4pi]

​@@Botbot1337 i would like To be able to rotate the camera around a specific point. I am painting the hand of a character and it's difficult to work on it, because the camera turn around the character and not around the hand.

[@blacksyrup2562]

I bought this software today and when I try to delete a brush stroke there is a weird dark and shiny gradient on the deleted edges. Do you know why this may be happening?

[@betofernandez5524]

Hello I need help. Is there any way to save your own DDS files to ACC instead of creating them from the png file? Because the game is ruinning them. During the conversion some ussues appears in the paints or logos. I tried to save dds in several dtx5 formats but the game does not load them. Only load the autogenerated ones.

[@Botbot1337]

@@betofernandez5524 unfortunately sometimes issue can occur with the dds conversion, notably compressing textures and such. The only thing I would thing to try is rename the file to “decals” so the game can pick it up.

would this work for normal assetto ??

[@m00ninite]

This tutorial does not work for me. I can't even get past the 4 minute mark where you import the texture over onto the layer. My Armorpaint does not behave this way and there is nothing that I can seem to do to make it get past this step.

You can use vector art, it has to be a ping file however. SVG files don’t work.
