Intro to 3D Livery Design: Decals for Digital Cars

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this Domestika course. I hope you've enjoyed walking through my creative process. It's time to work on your project: design a racing car livery in your favourite style! This could mean finishing the work you started while completing the exercises, or you could start a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell me if you have any doubts. This will help me understand your creative process and guide you better if you need advice. Let’s revisit the necessary steps to complete your project: Collect all the references you like to find inspiration, and pick what racing car and style of livery you want.

Sketch your ideas for the livery on paper. This will help you find the direction you would like to take when designing the 3D model of the project. Choose the 3D model of the car you like and import it in Blender. Then, prepare the UV map to start designing the livery in Illustrator. Keep adding colour and refining the details until you're happy with the result. Set the studio scene in which you want to place your car. You can also create a photorealistic render! Now you're ready to showcase the work in the Domestika forum. You can also share it on your social media platforms. I look forward to seeing your racing car livery! I'll be checking in from time to time to look at your posts, answer your questions, and give you feedback. Remember, you can also interact with your peers and comment on their work. Real-life feedback is the key. I hope you enjoyed the course!”

“ Final Project Congratulations to you all for completing this livery design course. I'm so pleased with all you've achieved and learned. It's an honour that you chose to take this course with me and learn about this creative craft that I love to do. We began the course by looking at what liveries are and how to best choose the right elements for your design. Remember that research is very important at this stage. We then began to get the creative juices flowing. Then, we visualised some ideas. At this point, we were ready to make a start on our final project. To begin with, I went over the...”
