Ingame skin maker?

Making skins is such a pain for first time users, maybe we could add a simpler skin maker ingame? For starters, like the one in NASCAR '15?

 

It's a good idea, but it would be god dang laggy

 

how so?

 

Making a skin in realtime would mean adding a new texture to the outside. It might not even be possible. Idk tho

 

ohh, what i meant was, kind of like the garage, but nothing is being simulated, its just the skin making... the car is not running

 

Agreed, that would be pretty handy because I use Windows 10 and Paint.Net can't open dds files.

 

I use paint.net to open dds files though

oh nevermind its just a windows 10 thing i guess

 

dangit, i thought that nadeox1 agreed with me for a second

 

G.I.M.P. 2.8 .dds plugin for the win
Seriously, I love whoever made that plugin. Makes things so easy. 2 clicks and you have your main file and all the mipmapped files right there ready for editing. When you go to export it, you have all of your compression choices right there.
The only annoying thing about it is that if your canvas is, say, 1280x1280 and you paste a 1300x1300 texture over top of it, it'll export the file as 1300x1300. I just remember to crop it prior to exporting.
