Cayman CSR, 24hr 'Ring in Forza 2 (pics)

Whew...so, I just spent the last 3 days working on this thing, and it's finally finished. In light of reading about the Cayman's results in the 24hr Nurburgring race, and reading the interview with the Cayman CSR driver, I decided to re-create this car in Forza 2. This is my first "paint job" in Forza, so there are probably more than a few imperfections. Anyone who has Forza 2 and has tried to design a vehicle, will understand what kind of undertaking this was. It was a pain, because none of the decals on the vehicle were in the "Manufacturer's Decal List", so I had to re-create 98% of the decals on the vehicle. Also, when going throught the 9 or so pictures I had of the actual car, I noticed they were from different events, and they had different decals for different events. I tried my best to re-create the one from the Nurburgring race. Very tedious. Anyway enough babbling...on with the pics. (Sorry, there's quite a few).

More pics....(yeah, i got a little crazy with the camera)





Goin for a ride around the carrousel. (a little dirty from racing too).



- I couldn't really see the top of the car in any of the pictures, so I kinda had to do it freestyle. I represented Cayman Club though....


***For anyone with a copy of Forza 2, if you want this paintjob just send me a Friend Request and let me know. My 360 gamertag is xAFKx Vader. Just gift me a cayman, I'll slap the paintjob on there, and gift it back to ya.

AWESOME JOB! You, sir, are VERY talented. Friend request most definitely coming your way.

For those that don't know, this takes a ton of skill to achieve. It's not like you can import graphics like you can in PhotoShop. Almost everything has to be made from basic shapes and layering.

K-Man, I messed around for about an hour trying to replicate the logo on the website. Trying to convert the "C" to the shape of a car was a major pain. Although, that was the final touch that I was doing at 3am, so my paitence might have been a little short.

But still, it was quite difficult, and this was my first try and messing with the paint editor. Remember, you can't just import images, you have to use multiple layers of geometric shapes to make images. If I could just import the "Cayman Club" logo, then it would be a done deal.

I'll make another attempt at re-created the "car" on top of the Cayman Club logo, but I can't make any garuntees....

I spent hours at my first attempt at a CaymanClub logo paint scheme and I can only imagine the effort you put in. Very awesome!

Very nice, I can appreciate the time it must have taken to recreate those decals.

I have a question for you. What is Forza 2 anyway? Is it a sim game or just recreating race cars? I have used NASCAR 2003 in the past with the add ons available on the net to practice and learn the racing line of several tracks before I ever see them, Watkins Glen and Lime Rock in particular. I'm gong to Mont Treblant next but no luck finding that one yet.

Getting back to Forza 2, if its a racing sim, what are the characteristics of the Cayman S model like, are they like a real Cayman or are they just a generic race car with the Cayman body on it like in NASCAR 2003?

Oh trust me I know it is hard to do, just trying to spur you into action! Speaking of action I sent you a friend request earlier today. When you accept I will send you a copy of my Cayman with my Racer X theme on it, save that to your theme library then put the Cayman CSR Hankook theme on the car and send it back please.

Racing simulator similar to Gran Turismo for the Playstation, lots and lots of real cars, you can build them up and option them out and race all sorts of different tracks although honestly I am disappointed that there aren't more tracks especially those in the ALMS circuit, etc. but I figure those will be added via Xbox Live downloads later on, just like getting more cars.

Friend request sent (EmoneyTVS), once accepted a gifted Cayman will be going your way soon. You do great work, that car looks sweet!

Sending you a friend request too (Cogitare). No car coming though. Haven't decided what I want for another paint scheme.
