Gran Turismo 7: How I Got Better at Liveries

[@GTJesse]

00:00 intro 05:33 tip 1 06:45 tip 2 09:49 tip 3

[@Aari_Plays]

I have studied graphic design creating media in adobe illustrator and InDesign. One of the things we got learned wich helps is just studying the topic or theme that your making your things for. If its a brand, look at what colors and shapes they use, it will help

[@GTJesse]

100%! A great way to start developing “the eye” too

[@paulbarnett5837]

I find myself spending more time doing liveries than racing, absolutely love it

[@zerocoolkid9757]

I know right !! 😂

[@deptka]

I watched this a couple days ago and my liveries are already transforming. Thank you for sharing it.

[@GTJesse]

I love to hear it buddy, thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@deptka]

@@GTJesse I took inspiration from a dealer render then had fun with it and gave credit. It's my first shared livery; checkout depta on the showcase if you like. I'd enjoy your input.

[@GTJesse]

@@deptka i searched the tag depta but couldn't find it :(

I’m new to GT7, so new to ur videos as well. I just bought this car just so I could download ur livery!

[@GTJesse]

Awesome Sean I’m glad you liked it!

[@GT7customs]

love this design! Been experimenting with gradient colors more lately and really liking the effects. I really like the way you used the stars in this design ✨

[@GTJesse]

Thanks man! Anything to do with space, stars, galaxies gets my inner space geek excited 😆

[@mattobrien2010]

I reeeeeally appreciate this video. There's a ton of things I need to learn but I recently pushed myself and just finished one I'm pretty proud of. I have been to the Rolex 24 in Daytona several times and I loved this Patron tequila Ferrari that we saw each year. Well I mimicked that livery on a Celica gt-four. I'm pretty stoked about how it came out. The hashtag on the livery is patron so it should be pretty easy to find but I'd love you to take a look if you have a moment. Thanks again

[@GTJesse]

Found it man! Looks really solid. Can definitely tell you put some time into it!

[@mattobrien2010]

@@GTJesse thanks man. It really means a lot 🙏🙏

[@YallBoiCKenshin]

DAMN!!! Gran Turismo has *A LOT* of livery edit options compared to NFS...crazy Love the commentary is nice tho. 👍🏻👏🏻Keep up the amazing work!!! Glad I found more livery artists.

[@GTJesse]

Cheers buddy!! I’ve seen some of the videos from NFS livery editor and they have some nice preloaded patterns and wraps too

[@GT7customs]

the community decals are so good - they really open up tons of design possibilities!

[@Spitboy01-yt6od]

Agree. Its a huge improvement over sport and even sport was pretty good for its first livery Editor freature

[@danknado97]

I am a graphic designer i have designed the same car to match a real life Bilstein livery. As a graphic designer i must say great things come when you take inspiration from many things and mixing them in a certain style that attracts the human eye pretty much just like you did with your supra and you also reminded of a fellow designer that focused only on race-car liveries amazing

[@GTJesse]

that’s really cool man. I very much enjoy the process and find that I’m constantly learning in this space.

[@Skat3Juan]

[@GunnersCorner017]

I’m so glad I was able to find this video. I plan to make race liveries on Hot Wheels and I’m a pretty low level livery maker. Thank you for the tips!

[@GTJesse]

Gotta start somewhere :) I’m actually planning to go back and make a showcase video of some of my first liveries. I think it would be cool to show the progress as it’s pretty wild

[@adamsandin]

Watched all of youre videos. As u im not that creative so ive always go to an existing livery and create my own from that. It makes it alot easier and u can do that livery your own way. Thanks alot for the videos!

[@GTJesse]

That’s so cool man, I’m glad you like the videos… the thing with replica liveries is they’re just as if not more difficult than original content. If you’re like me also a perfectionist, so it takes a long time to get the replicas *just right*

[@adamsandin]

[@SLYRED33]

you gave some pretty good ideas. I have been doing this for years on Need for speed, The Crew 2, And Gran Turismo and I have been told that my liveries are some of the most realistic liveries they have seen. I try to make my livery look like the real deal. Google has some great livery ideas. If you can make your own decals. This sets you apart from the others because they might not have those decals. When you can't get a decal to look right on a car body try changing the camera setting in the settings. Anyway, if you of your watchers have any questions I'm free for answers like on how to make decals. anyway, thanks for sharing.

[@GTJesse]

Hey Slyred, thanks for the note! I’ve found the creation of decals for GT7 is such a finite skill. It’s one thing to be able to make decals, period. It’s a whole other thing to make those same decals and get them successfully uploaded to gt7. I personally haven’t used the livery editors in those other games but I’ve sees the NFS editor in action and it’s pretty impressive. There are a lot of really cool presets.

[@Bryan_Jake]

When i make a car design, i pick a solid color, pick a width of stripe, and stretch it across the car. 💯

[@emiliosunshinewindows2142]

getting into doing liveries going to check out the counterstrike librarys for rust and other textures. cheers jesse watching through your channel atm. planning on starting my own sim racing channel waiting on hardware to arrive =) till next time =)

Very nice work Jesse, since I watched your last video I've done a few totally original skins that some would consider art, first on the BRZ race car, I'll definitely follow you & comment on your great work 👍 & you can see what I'm talking about

[@GTJesse]

Thanks buddy, I’d love to see the outputs! Is your PSN gearmeister too? I’ll have a follow

[@gearmeister]

@@GTJesse yes it is Jesse, thanks bro, I've got quite a few liveries up

[@gearmeister]

@@GTJesse What you were saying about a direction or idea is totally true, as with any type of creative work, you definitely have to keep an open mind & experiment especially with the "add a layer below" & I find the "replace decal" feature a time saver

[@GTJesse]

Replace Decal… wow so I love that. I may start with a square, sharp corners, resize and reshape it and realize I want soft corners instead but don’t want to completely redo the piece. Replace decal is so handy here.

[@milliefrankieshaw2009]

So… my mrs brought me a PS5 for Christmas a few years ago (she amazing) but because I’m not a massive gamer, I was slightly worried I wouldn’t really play it that much and it’d just end up in one of the kid’s bedrooms… long story short, I came across NFS unbound and loved the whole design aspect of it and pretty much became hooked. Fast forward and my mrs brought me the PSVR2 and GT7 and noticed you could also design your own cars on there too!! QUESTION: why the woof has it been made so god dame difficulty !! And does it become easier?

[@horizon_angel]

Can't really say I'm a master livery design, but I do grew up with motorsports, sometimes interested whenever I see a livery design on race car (and also itasha apparently, or anime stuff, I usually try to combine both anime and race car stuff to make my own race car, that stands up from the other). Beside that, I also sometimes recreate a famous car's livery on other car (recent one is FM2 cover car on a Nissan GT-R Gr.4) Anyway, although I've seems to did (kinda) all the tips, joining a livery competition seems like a good idea, although I'm not sure where to start. Also your footage kinda like gave me a bit of refreshment of how I'd design my livery next, thank you for that So, thank you for all the tip, I do hope my livery can transform to a better way, although my friends says mine looks good enough, sometimes I feela like mine's too basic compared to the other designer in-game

[@GTJesse]

I love to hear the background. Everyone has a different history and perspective and that shows in their work. There are some people that do simplicity beautifully, and other who thrive in chaotic designs. I can appreciate both for their merits because for me, it’s more difficult to make a simple design look really good, but when you do *chefs kiss*. The contests I’ve participated in are in our discord (discord.gg/M5a9fyTu) but there are also contests on gtplanet. Anyways, glad you found the tips helpful. Thanks for stopping by and happy designing 🤙

Hi Jesse Warrick here I would like to know just how on this livery did you get to bend the melted drop decal to fit into the bottom of Coke logo on this car, if you can share and show us all are little bite slower with what you do change in full detail in settings and changes to get it done. Kind Regards Woks

[@GTJesse]

Hey Warrick! If you go to 9:37 and slow down the speed to .25x you’ll see that I’m just taking little decals that look like paint drips and applying them to the bottom of the coke decal

[@paulbarnett5837]

I love recreating classic racing liveries on modern versions of cars

My issue is a decals start flashing as soon as I start to edit them, tried playing with different settings but can’t seem to eliminate the flashing. Stops me from wanting to make one

[@GTJesse]

When you say flashing do you mean they cut in and out?

[@racingandmusicmylife]

@@GTJesse yes, it momentarily disappears/reappears. Even after leaving the editor it will continue to do it

[@GTJesse]

I’ve had that happen before and if I adjust the projection range to align to surface instead of camera then it will fix it most of the time.

[@racingandmusicmylife]

@@GTJesse Think I’ve tried that too but I’ll have another go at it , cheers bud🍻

Great content mate, very encouraging as always. I have just started making liveries for my SSRT_JubyDuby account. They are very amateurish but it is something that I thought I would not be able to do, so I do feel a little proud. Thanks for the help 😁 Like deployed 👍

[@GTJesse]

That’s awesome man, I can’t wait to see how you progress. I really love the process of creating liveries. Sometimes I just want to sit down with a controller and “game” versus competitive racing and the livery editor lets me do that. Such a fun way to relax and pass the time.

So to make one big irregular white shape you had to use like 20 smaller distorted shapes laid on top of each other? (not how you would do it in Adobe llustrator)

[@wagz79]

I have trouble transferring the decals to the other side the layers dont match, its frustrating af

[@GTJesse]

If you use the duplicate symmetrically option then it will usually work really well. Only issue is for the handful of cars that aren’t actually symmetrical, then they won’t line up the same on both sides.

Where did you get the starry/magical decal around the 8 minute and 8 second mark? Your video was going by so fast I couldn't see. I don't remember seeing it in the preset decals. Did you do a content search to find it? If so, what phrase did you use to find it?

I wanted to put a video on KZbin like you doing gt7 liveries but I'm clueless with tech 😂I do some airbrushing in real life and I've done some unique liveries on gt7.What do you need from me for you to see my liveries?I didn't know about a livery competition 😮I'll have a look, thanks very much buddy.😮

[@GTJesse]

This might blow your mind but for the first 9 months of my KZbin channel I made all of my videos almost entirely on the PlayStation using sharefactory. If you wanted to share livery videos all you have to do is press the share button on the controller, then select the record option, then make your livery. Once you’ve finished your livery, stop recording, open ShareFactory and apply the speed up effect. Then when you save the video, you’ll be asked if you want to share it, you say yes, select KZbin and it’ll ask for your sign in credentials. Always share it as private or unlisted first, then go to your computer, sign into KZbin, edit the title, description and thumbnail if you want, and switch it from private to public once you’re ready for the world to see.

[@GTJesse]

I’d love to see your liveries though! Have you shared them in GT7? If you have, maybe you can add me on PSN TCR_GTJESSE and I’ll pop into your gallery and have a look.
