Thanks for the template, it's perfect!

Thank you but do you know how to remove the shiny effect on the car ? I saved the file as DDS, but when I use it it looks like the shinyness is high, i'd like to have a really mate color instead (no shinyness at all)

I think I managed to get a good result

Do you use GIMP or Photoshop?

@Hapistorique: you should use the PreLight Layer, looks more realistic.

Here is my Car (still working on it):

Maybe you add an Alpha layer colored black to the DDS file?

I had the same issue as this - solved it by making sure I saved the DDS file as typle: DTX5 ARGB 8bpp Interpolated Alpha.

I saved it as interpolated alpha and I got a good result

Thanks for the template, its fantastic

Forgive my slowness, but...what's the difference between using this template and just working directly with the SkinDiffuse.dds?

The parts are premasked, and it includes a prelight layer
simply add your design under all those layers
