painting cars for sims

by gcorri.. » Fri, 28 May 2004 12:07:46

Firstly, I have goggled and searched a bit but haven't located a forum
for this topic.

When painting cars, I have converted the RD2 files to BMP and then
used a paint program (paint shop pro) to edit the images. They look ok
when I edit them, but once i view them in the game after reconverting
the images seem to displace on the car such that (for instance) a
Shell logo placed on the bodywork will appear in a different place.
Also the original parts of the bodywork corrupt too and appear to
move.

Is this a local phenomenon or is there something in painting (such as
layers within images) that moves text and graphic around?

any answers will be helpful and if there is a gumbie paint by number
website around a link there would be helpful too.

Many TIA

Glenn
