Boards face shared on Marketplace in Forza3

DeVore

Decided to give the painting system a shot and I was slightly wrong, there is a new system for creating and sharing decals which is at least something. Buying or downloading decals from the marketplace is a nice touch too, though it will devalue the effort put in by the artists a little I think...

Anyhooo... I decided to try it out and I put up a decal of a Boards face (as per our logo) on the marketplace, its called (uninspiringly enough) "Boards Face" and its shared by me, devoreie. Its free to download and use, dont do anything naughty with it please

I was thinking about having a competition of some kind, just for giggles between any painters out there... the availability of high quality decals is a problem but I guess you still have to have a certain eye for design to use them. Anyone interested?

Any way of posting it up here so we can have a look?
For inspiration loike?:)

DeVore

Er... I dunno... I'll have a look, its not very impressive now it has to be said
Took all of 5 minutes, but I'll see if I can snap a photo of it and upload.

I'm not sure about Forza 3 but in 2 I remember it lets you upload photos you take to the forza motorsport website.

DeVore

Seems like 3 manages all of that in game.

I've uploaded a pic of a rather unspectacular car taking the Laguna Seca corkscrew in a somewhat more spectacular manner.

btw, theres about 40G on offer for playing with the paint and photo systems and uploading bits and pieces... not too shabby for the G-hunters out there...

I guess the best way to find pic and decal is to search for Boards in the storefront or look at my storefront specifically... I will go see if the pic is uploaded online somewhere...

You can search for your own gamer tag there.

The image is attached to this post in all its mediocre glory.

I've actually created a bunch of sponsor decals for FM2 when I made a replica of the McLaren MP4-23 so I had to replicate all the sponsors. If I had XBLIVE, I'd post up the car but I don't unfortunately

Would anyone know if that F50 GT with the F2007 livery that was in FM2 has been made for FM3?

Did you deliberately use a pic of you ploughing the car into the barrier for this ?

DeVore

Yup!

agreed

DeVore

Agreed but we need a decent amount of tiem because with the SSF and some Sooper Secret Projects I'm on at the moment... I get **** all time to paint.

Also, I'm sure Darragh can come up with something from his list of contacts who are always trying to get us to give stuff away, for a prize
I'll ask him.

But yeah... Boards Forza Paint Comp is definitely a winner idea.

Leave that one to Dav and me and we'll see what we can do!

Meanwhile, I want to further my own Forza 3 exploits first

We might be able to wangle some manner of competition prize alright, leave it with me

Sweet, this will be awesome! I'm gonna start work this weekend so

Well done though, they look great. I just don;t have the patience for anything like that tbh.
