Effing great video. Right to the point. I'm a little baffled the game accepts such generic file types as .png for textures (Project Cars requires .DDS iirc, making things a little more complicated). Maybe that's just a "happy accident" due to UE4. My guess would be that Kunos can't allow custom liveries in a licensed game, but can also hardly change/remove the way the game accesses textures. Hopefully this won't get patched. There are some stunning liveries in the game, but self-made ones are on another level.
I as well hope it will not get patched, and that they build up on this with maybe an official editor or something... maybe also for MP... but there is the issue with some types of people who might do pretty gruesome or obscene liveries just for the fun of it :(
Just my personal opinion, and KS is obviously free to do whatever they feel is in their best interest, but I believe that self-expression is a powerful motivator. Obviously, they felt it important enough to provide a means for the competitors of the eSRO series to do so (obviously due to sponsorship considerations), but it would be a good PR move to adopt an approach similar to iRacing - make the means available, and allow some 3rd party to take on the challenge of providing a solution to share custom liveries, free of any potential liability upon themselves. I personally think that what Trading Paints has done with iRacing, not to mention iRacing's effort to facilitate their approach (easy way to identify competitors, on-demand refresh of textures when new files are downloaded, etc.) is very commendable. Anyway, thanks for sharing! It looks like their texturing engine will certainly open up some imagination once this gets in the hands of more and more artists... I just hope that in the end, KS allows them to carry on. 😁
A massive thanks for this, to do it not in your native language also is epic, i wouldve never been able to work all of this out myself. 10/10. still super relevant. tyvm
awesome tutorial, very easy to understand. Going to create my 1st livery ever thanks to you. Thank you so much for giving people like me with no previous knowledge, some tools to customize and have fun :)
Great tutorial! Your explanation was simple and effective, thank you for your time. Really is a shame though that despite all the effort one can put into creating a work of art, the game can't display it for all to admire. I'm pretty sure it is possible for a multiplayer server to fetch the design from your game files automatically if only Kunos would implement it. If I remember correctly, many years ago when I played Forza Motorsport on console, you could make liveries limited only by your own imagination and they would be seen in multiplayer. Who knows, perhaps in time to come when whatever legalities allow it, we will get to do this.
Thank you for all your work! Awesome starting point. I am just starting to understand where the files and directories are. Hopefully I can share decent livery. Take care.
Literally underrated, I was looking everywhere for Assetto skin psd templates. You made a great video and great explanation. I just need to modify my little psd file then there we go. Hopefully we gonna cross online. Peace and keep going.
Brilliant guide - thank you 😎 One thing I wonder about: Is the custom paint job actually visible to others in multiplayer or is it only for your own viewing pleasure?
Thank you! Unfortunately not visible... that is why you can opt in to use a standard base layer with a base color / detail so it at least looks the part in MP. It is only visible if the texture folders are provided on the MP server, like they do for the eSRO events.
Hi! Mate! I Made it! Thanks so much! There is my Instagram project: instagram.com/p/CFCxuFdF7tc/?igshid=1nydi90idwn32 You can see my livery! You Rocks!
Instead of just coloring the parts to figure out what they are, just use the "T" tool and type-in numbers over the parts. Clear and concise. BTW, what is happening with the front wheels? They do not look centered at all.
Extremely helpful, nice and concise! Excellent tutorial! Just a tiny tiny note is that I think it's pronounced 'dee-kals' instead of dee-cell'. I make plastic scalemodels so I come across the word quite a lot.
@@Boonatix Dude i found another way to easily find which part is which you basically save the sponsor png with the uv wireframe and in game it lays it out on the car then the guessing game is quite easy try it
Alright, looks cool! One question: can you use them in online races? I just got ACC a few weeks ago and once I get the hang of it, i'd like to do some online races.
Thank you for starters... Great Video!! Is there a way to actually put color or other logos on the "sponsors panel of the car" ... I have tried saving multiple different ways, combining layers and still no change of color or text.
Very helpful and I have strarted to create my own liveries thanks to you. I did notice that there is pixelation on some logos when viewing on the track, that is not there when viewing in the menu. Is there any reason for this or is it something that game applies to custom skins?
you don't need to create the liveries folder or the base .json. After making the basic skin with the in-game painter and save it. Open the new .json and add the name of the folder you want. reload your car in-game and ACC will create the folder and two .json files...
Quick question! How do you get your images to crop into the car panels in that template? I can’t quite figure that out. Loved your video! Very helpful for a noob like me
Thanks you for this great tutorial. Now.. I still have to wait to buy a new game pc so I can run and play ACC, but I would like to try out the livery editing.. is there something I could start designing liveries and try them out seperate from the game? Another 3D program like Blender for example? Maybe this could be a way to make some liveries before I can run ACC and stack the liveries up until I've my new pc ?
Only you - except if you send the livery to other people, they download and put it in their folder... then they see it :) But for the usual MP lobbies, only you see it.
Have you noticed some issues with custom liveries since 1.8? Looks like ACC is now created DDS files alongside the PNGs, however the colour conversion is wrong in the DDS files - colours are washed out. EDIT: there are two new things in 1.8 which I was kind of mixing together: 1: DDS files created automatically - this might turn out to be awesome if it eliminates the lag spikes when joining - needs some more testing. 2: If PNG files are 8-bit indexed colour then the colours are messed up in ACC. Not an issue with other PNG compression methods, so not a widespread problem :-)
@@shengyuanhow2901 DDS files are auto-created in the same folder as your custom PNG files. Two DDS files are created for each PNG: sponsors_0.dds is auto-created when you first view the livery in the showroom. This is a 4090x4096 DDS file. A similar DDS file is created for decals.png. sponsors_1.dds is auto-created when you first use the livery on track. This is a 2048x2048 DDS file. A similar DDS file is created for decals.png. In short, the DDS files are generated when the livery is used.
@@flaknine7816 but only if the old existing custom livery i save as png again by using the ps file. by only preview the old existing file will not auto generate the dds. This update make livery file more complicated... creating my new bmw m4 gt3 skin, take more long time than usual, need to delete dds and save again everytime i make changes.
very good video, i have only one question. It is possible if i want to keep stock design layout (from game) and simply change the colour from for example glossy to carbon fibre?
Not like this, you can have a base design from the ingame editor and then overlay it with sponsors.png and decals.png and use a base color you like to make it easier with a custom livery...
I do not use the 99 carbon skin layer... just keep the standard layer design from the ingame editor, give it one base color you want to have and you will still be able to color the rims :)
@@darksykes4738 yes, instead of the base layer 99 that you put in the json file, you can just edit the base layer design in the game for your car and paint it wait... and then have the decals.png be the extra colored parts, and the sponsors.png be stickers :)
Hello your tutorial really helpes me out 😉 can I just ask why even though I'm using chrome template the overall color in game doesn't really look shiny? I don't mean the basic carbon color 😉 Do I have to add like chrome effect in photoshop then?
You mean, you adapted the .json file with the material properties but it does not change or show up like it should? Might be that the .json is corrupt, you can download one of my custom liveries and use that .json in there as they should work :)
@@Boonatix no it's not that 😀 I've used your template json for chrome but after painting the car in ps/gimp and the end effect is not as shiny as a color you would use in the game 😉 the ingame chrome effect is shiny as hell whereas the custom chrome is not quite close? 😀 Ypu know what I mean now? 😀
Hello just a quick question. Is there a possibility to change a color of safety cage? I play VR and I don't like white cage because of god ray in my display. Great video Btw. Thx.
Thanks a mil. This is an excellent tutorial....! If I could ask? Can a person change the base colour? At the moment it is blackand I would like to have it white? The rims too I assume will remain black?
Yes, just do not change to the 99 base layer design and use a base design that you select ingame... and set all the 3 colors to black or white :) Than the game always takes this as base and you can put your design on top.
@@Boonatix Awesome tutorial! However, I can't change the colors of the cars (tried: in-game livery editor, .json file changes). No matter, which color I choose, the car always appears the same as the default for a given car template. Is this a bug or there is a setting that I might've missed. I would greatly appreciate your help. It seems like I'm not the only one with this problem.
This happens when you use 99 base carbon layer :) If you go ingame the showroom, and switch the design template then to 2 or 3 or 4... or whatever, you can again change color!
If you work with the showroom as layers you can even achieve more depending on the car design you select... :) There are 3 layers in showroom you can do with different mats, and then layer a custom sponsors texture over it ... so 4 in total :) Or you go with one uniform showroom layer and then decals and sponsor custom layers.
This is what i looking for! Thank you so much! Recently i tried to add some sponsors to my Aston Martin vantage 2019. is it okay to put logos directly on decals.png file? Because I prefer to use the in-game custom colours without any change. My problem is my logos weren't on their exact position, for example if I put sponsor on the left door, the actual livery in the game showing it somewhere else on the side of the car. any idea how to fix it? ( i saved my decals file in resolution 2048x2048, was this correct?) . Thx
Boonatix, your channel is the Best! Congratulations! I already subscribed to your channel and thanks to you I managed to make my own skin template. However, I still need your help to remove the original driver number and category cup from the car. Is it possible? Do you know how to do it?
Stefan, is there a way of painting the wheel. When carbon "99" base is applied it takes the colour off of wheels. I guess I could paint over a game paint but I like having the option of carbon parts on some paints.
@@Boonatix thanks, I guessed as much. I might try a work around using a game paint and overlay with my design to preserve wheel color. Thank you for your help and excellent video.
hey @Boonatix do you know of anyway to reposition or remove the number board on the sides or hood? is there anyway to change the position of the car number on the rear or remove it? I also noticed that if I save the .png file under "decals.png" in the games folder, it keeps the games sponsor decals (Pirelli, 505 game, emergency shut off location decals, etc etc) Even if I remove the layer group entirely in GIMP/Photoshop the in game sponsor decals remain. However if I save it under the file name "sponsors.png" they do not appear. Am I misunderstanding something?
Unfortunately you cannot reposition number boards they are hardcoded, you could use the 99 base carbon layer which will get rid of the number plate on the hood. As for the decals.png you discovered that right, it is always below the usual stickers that the game has... if you wanna get rid of them you have to either put all in sponsors.png and only use this layer, or use both in combination :)
Great tutorial friend. Ive spent this entire weekend making liveries thanks to you. One thing you might be able to help me with, I copy and paste the data for the materials into decals.json & sponsors.json, but the material doesnt seem to be changing in game?
Hi dude. I finally got round to making a livery but all the logos I try to put on the car are blurry. I heard you mention something about image size? What should I be looking for as I'm useless with this sort of stuff. Thanks✌🏼
Hello! Very nice Tutorial. I did a couple of liveries and now i saw your video. I have one question. In online the others can't see the liveries that we create right? But if we paint only one color and leave the base car like the basic livery in the game. Then in multiplayer they don't see the color we add?
As soon as you have your own custom .png livery file, players in MP will not see that. They only see the base color / base design you put in :) At least for now... that is why at eSRO events, the drivers have to send in their custom .png livery files for review and implementation to the servers.
Hi, thanks for your video. I followed exactly what you showed in the video. Somehow when I exported the file, my customised car design didn't change and it stayed in the same design/color as it was originally. Do you know what the issue could be?
I've done like 15 custom liveries and still come to this video everytime hahaha thank you man, super useful!
This is the best how to step by step tutorial I've ever watched not just on this topic but for everything I ever needed help with. Thank you!

( i saved my decals file in resolution 2048x2048, was this correct?)
. Thx
You should work then only with sponsors.png if you want to keep the base ingame design, decals.png is usually there to replace that.
Boonatix, your channel is the Best! Congratulations! I already subscribed to your channel and thanks to you I managed to make my own skin template. However, I still need your help to remove the original driver number and category cup from the car. Is it possible? Do you know how to do it?
Stefan, is there a way of painting the wheel. When carbon "99" base is applied it takes the colour off of wheels. I guess I could paint over a game paint but I like having the option of carbon parts on some paints.
If you take the 99 base layer it is not possible to edit rim colors :( you have to go with base ingame layer design then.
@@Boonatix thanks, I guessed as much. I might try a work around using a game paint and overlay with my design to preserve wheel color. Thank you for your help and excellent video.
hey @Boonatix do you know of anyway to reposition or remove the number board on the sides or hood? is there anyway to change the position of the car number on the rear or remove it? I also noticed that if I save the .png file under "decals.png" in the games folder, it keeps the games sponsor decals (Pirelli, 505 game, emergency shut off location decals, etc etc) Even if I remove the layer group entirely in GIMP/Photoshop the in game sponsor decals remain. However if I save it under the file name "sponsors.png" they do not appear. Am I misunderstanding something?
Unfortunately you cannot reposition number boards they are hardcoded, you could use the 99 base carbon layer which will get rid of the number plate on the hood. As for the decals.png you discovered that right, it is always below the usual stickers that the game has... if you wanna get rid of them you have to either put all in sponsors.png and only use this layer, or use both in combination :)
Great tutorial friend. Ive spent this entire weekend making liveries thanks to you. One thing you might be able to help me with, I copy and paste the data for the materials into decals.json & sponsors.json, but the material doesnt seem to be changing in game?
Dont worry about it, just found a comment on here with the same issue and a solution to go with it. Anyway, great tutorial. Thanks
@@Underthebarrier awesome, thank you :)
Hi dude. I finally got round to making a livery but all the logos I try to put on the car are blurry. I heard you mention something about image size? What should I be looking for as I'm useless with this sort of stuff. Thanks✌🏼
Hello! Very nice Tutorial. I did a couple of liveries and now i saw your video. I have one question. In online the others can't see the liveries that we create right? But if we paint only one color and leave the base car like the basic livery in the game. Then in multiplayer they don't see the color we add?
As soon as you have your own custom .png livery file, players in MP will not see that. They only see the base color / base design you put in :) At least for now... that is why at eSRO events, the drivers have to send in their custom .png livery files for review and implementation to the servers.
@@Boonatix ah ok!! Thanks!
Hi, thanks for your video. I followed exactly what you showed in the video. Somehow when I exported the file, my customised car design didn't change and it stayed in the same design/color as it was originally. Do you know what the issue could be?
