help creating skins

I'm trying to do some skins for solarpower07's Gen 6 NASCAR Stock car I have followed the steps in this video
BeamNG NASCAR Skins Tutorial - YouTube

but when I've loaded the skin in game its blue any way that i can fix this?

also, what template should I use

 

The template you should use is this car's template itself, each car has it's own template.


Second of all, do you mind letting me see the skin.materials.json file?

 

???

also why is that template so small

 

It looks small, but it actually ain't.
But here, try this. It seems like you the brackets at the end had an unnecessary space between them vertically which led to the game being unable to recognize it.

 

it's still showing up blue

 

Well, do you mind sending me the whole zip so I can take a closer look? It could be anything that could've went wrong.

 

here you go

 

The error was that the "globalskin" name doesn't even match up with what you wrote in the json file. That's why. The same oversight as done in telling the game where the .dds file is. The game can't guess where your file is unless you tell it perfectly.

And also, you should install paint.net and save your .dds file in this setting (or just save it in this setting if your program has it):

After doing that, it should look alot fresher without looking washed out.

Also, here's the fixed file.

 

thank you

 

You're welcome.

 

so, if I wanted to make more skins, I can just use this as a reference
And how do I make the template that you gave me bigger
I'm
sorry if I'm clueless it's been a long day

 

Exactly. That's why you need to make it all one word or something that you can copy and paste. Into separate folders, so basically as long as you keep the format exactly the same and don't mess up when renaming, it'll be easy skin making.

 

now what about the folders name where the whole folder structure starts

do i just keep the name vehicles?

 

Yes. It is very important though, without it nothing will work.

 

the name vehicles?

 

I can't seem to find the UVs for the bastion

 

Here.

The devs didn't include it with the car for some reason.

 

thanks
