Recently I have been fooling around with ZModeler, and I decided to put cop cars on my modded adventador.

Allong with that, I downloaded a template and edited. I colored it black and white for the colors of the car, but when I put the skin on, the car looked like this:

 

I'm so lost and confused why it's doing this. Any suggestions?

It looks like you're not matching up with the template. Make sure you're using the right template and when you're editing your skin, set the template as another layer and lower it's opacity. This way you'll see what you're doing and where the skin will show on the parts of the car.

I did that :P.

Thanks for replying by the way.

But yeah I made a layer for the template (background) and a layer for the editing and painting. Want me to show you the template and edited template?

No it's okay I believe you haha. The reason I ask is the only reason the paint would be distorted like that is a template issue. I would just make sure you're using the correct one from the original author of the car and just line it up correctly. I'm guessing it's the wrong template or the author screwed up on making the template.

Now does the thing have to be 100% perfect with staying in the boundaries and lines?

I would, yes. If it is outside of the lines, it's not going to align correctly with the car. The lines show where your skin is going to show on the car, so if you want it on the door, put it exactly where you want on the door.

Well, here's the edited template:

And here's the standard template:

The only thing I can think of is when you're doing the side doors don't use the middle portion if that's what you're doing, use the separate sections for the sides. Not sure if you did that, but that could be an issue. Also if you want the car black, just make the background black.

Sorry, what do you mean by the middle portion?

The texture has 4 main portions. The top portion which is highlighted in blue the part under that which is a side of the car, the part under that which is the top of the car and the part under that which is the other side of the car. The middle portion I was considering to be the top of the car in between the two sides.

So if I want to make the doors white, don't color them on the middle portion?

I believe the middle portion is for the top of the car, so yes I wouldn't use it for the doors, I would use the two sections above and below the middle section. However, like I said in my PM you should play around with the texture and keep opening the YTD to see where the paint is going on the actual car.
