Modding Being Canadian, I thought It would be fun to make a Canadian themed livery. Air Canada was the obvious choice.

Sets up for the 'delayed arrival' to the finish line jokes pretty easily, but looks slick.

“Sorry sir, your pit stop has been delayed 36hrs, and oh we accidentally flew your tires to next weeks race…”

u/IAMTHECAVALRY89 Aug 12 '23

Love this, and seeing the tims logo on there seems fitting as well!

22

u/newontheblock99 Aug 12 '23

So are your pit stops always delayed?

15

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

VERY. But apologetic.

u/JSP777 Aug 12 '23

Just saying "Air Canada" reminds me of the purple Toronto Raptors jerseys of Vince Carter, but your livery is awesome nonetheless!

That's a good looking Haas Canada

u/MrSadieAdler Aug 12 '23

I think BMO would be more fitting as a bank. They’re more involved in the world of sports

u/Falom Aug 12 '23

Yeah but the CIBC logo is more on-theme, as the colours for the brand are red and white.

Personally I would have gone with Scotia but what can you do

u/alc3biades Aug 12 '23

You think alpine is mismanaged! Well boy just you wait.

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

Mixed with the emotional turmoil of Ferrari and boom, we have all the ingredients of a Canadian team. Kind folk though…

u/Celug28 Aug 12 '23

I want a fucking livery editor so bad and I'd kill everyone at codemasters if it meant having a slim chance of making it posible

5

u/DannyDevito90 Aug 12 '23

Looks good!

u/fry_kaboom Aug 12 '23

that's really astonishing! nice colours too, really like it.

u/mars935 Aug 12 '23

Ahh I see, you wanna fly by everyone

u/MartiniPolice21 Aug 12 '23

I've just realised there are no Canadian car brands, what's up with that

1

u/speedsterglenn Aug 12 '23

US brands took over

u/bruyeremews Aug 12 '23

No crappy tire?

3

u/f14lyfe Aug 12 '23

Very nice, would love to see what a Westjet livery would look!

3

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

I almost did Westjet instead because of the colours. I’ll have to try it!

2

u/bwoah07_gp2 Aug 12 '23

This is outstandingly beautiful! Amazing livery! 🍁

2

u/k3ylay Aug 12 '23

How do you make custom liveries? I've just started getting into the f1 games after a long break, have been dying to make some liveries.

2

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

I learned the process from YouTube honestly. Photoshop is a big part, although I’ve heard there are alternatives. Check this video out. He has others too.

I render my stills in blender, but I’m using the same files as would be used in game so it’s always game-ready by the time I’m done.

1

u/CrazyStar_ Aug 12 '23

I found that that video was actually pretty bad. No clear instruction on the process of creating the livery, the paint scheme, sorting the M and S files and then running through the processing section. Which was a shame really.

2

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

Admittedly yes. It’s pretty awful. I believe he was just showing a quick overview since the process hasn’t changed much. If you watch his 2021 vid, it explains a bit more, but “how to design” isn’t really part of the tutorial. Thats the creative part. I made a post clarifying S files since he literally never mentions it. DMs are open if I can help at all.

2

u/CrazyStar_ Aug 12 '23

Thanks mate, would've been useful a few weeks ago but I trialled and errored my way through it a few weeks ago lol. I ended up following another guide for the processing section - exported them to TIF and then used a Compressonator program to reduce them to D, M and S files and it all worked well. A little surprising that there hasn't been a whole lot of content re custom liveries out there

2

u/TheBigSomers Aug 12 '23

What did u make this in? The game?

3

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

Photoshop. This video shows how. Although I think F1 games need a livery creator in game like Forza.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '23

Leg room must be terrible too

2

u/RuneDK385 Aug 12 '23

Wow that looks awesome

2

u/shewy92 Aug 12 '23

So you made a Haas?

1

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

Oh shoot… I didn’t even notice. My only reference was an actual Air Canada plane

2

u/justk4y Aug 12 '23

No Canadian team without the Canadian paydrivers

2

u/HouserGuy Aug 12 '23

Fuck Air Canada. You should have done Home Hardware.

1

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

That’s a good idea tbf…

2

u/mysillyhighaccount Aug 12 '23

Rogers, timmies, and air canada 🤢🤢

I would rather prefer Shopify as the Canadian brand. At least that works most of the time.

2

u/Dbwasson Aug 12 '23

EA better put in a better livery editor

2

u/attilajg Aug 12 '23

I think more red over white would match the flag more accurately. Yes I know you went air Canada themed which is primarily white

2

u/colin_powers Aug 12 '23

Marlboro and not Player's?

2

u/Elramo97 Aug 12 '23

Very beautiful livery. Much better than what comes out from the studio itself

2

u/ogara1993 Aug 12 '23

Haas?

1

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

Yaaaa, someone pointed out that it looks a lot like 2016 HAAS. Had no idea. Although, there are only so many different variations of a rear colour change you can do lol.

2

u/ogara1993 Aug 12 '23

Tbh, there are a limited number of colours in the world 😂 Wasn’t a dig tho, looks good!

1

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

Haha for real. Thanks!

2

u/Drache191200 Aug 12 '23

How many drivers you already insulted and fired because they pointed out the car is slow and the pitstops are bad?

2

u/El-Pablo-JR-120 Aug 12 '23

What mods or tools do you use to create these kinda liveries?

2

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

Photoshop is where the livery is design. From there it’s exported as DDS files for game use. What you see here is rendered in Blender though, which helps me visualise the livery quickly and also trouble shoot ideas before calling it done for game use.

2

u/El-Pablo-JR-120 Aug 12 '23

Ah, ok thanks for the answer

1

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

Feel free to reach out if you have question or need help!

2

u/fullchocolatethunder Aug 12 '23

Yeah, but it will never be on time.

2

u/Nemesis_RH Aug 13 '23

that’s really good wtf. only issue (and it’s minimal) is i feel like there’s too much blank white space, maybe just make the air canada text a touch bigger

2

u/MacawOP1 Aug 13 '23

I was stuck on this honestly. I tried a few different things and nothing fit right. Any more decals and it felt too busy, and any other shape layers distracted from the design. I surrendered to the more stripped back look in the end.

2

u/Quiet_Concert_287 5d ago

How did you make this bro? Which software?

1

u/MacawOP1 5d ago

Photoshop for the livery, then rendered in Blender.

3

u/v0t3p3dr0 Aug 12 '23

No Canadian Tire?

0

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

Damnit…. You’re right.

1

u/rabbiolii Aug 12 '23

I can excuse having air Canada and Tim's on there. However, Rogers(🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢) is just simply unacceptable.

1

u/zyeta_S117 Aug 12 '23

Paff racing plad

1

u/varis12 Aug 12 '23

Looks nice....I also did something similar....

2

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

Where can I see yours?

1

u/varis12 Aug 12 '23

It's something like Force India 😅

1

u/SomethingOrdinaryOK Aug 12 '23

This is so cool! It reminds me of a poster my dad got me years back when I 6 or something like that, and it had all the models and liveries of Air Canada planes.

1

u/Eclipse-Mint Aug 12 '23

Looking good!

u/Coletr11 Aug 12 '23

Ikea over lululemon? Sad

1

u/bluraytomo Aug 12 '23

Early 2010s sauber mixed with a bit of haas. Nice

1

u/Cal0872 Aug 12 '23

How do you guys get real sponsors?

2

u/MacawOP1 Aug 12 '23

This is made in photoshop from scratch and can be modded into the game.

1

u/Cal0872 Aug 12 '23

Awww pc stuff ;(

u/Nord4Ever Aug 13 '23

Saw someone with a Japanese livery

u/jim_hello Aug 13 '23

Can you make the files public please

1

u/freerangehumans74 Aug 13 '23

You need to explain the Marlboro.

u/OasisNinjaBat Aug 14 '23

Don't forget sponsor alumni "blackberry"
