Craig is using Corel Paint to make these. they are set up as a vector image for the stock non colored MINI than he adds wheels and graphics and what not to the car that was already created to make them for each person. It's all set up in layers so you just click on the layers that you need for what you want. It still takes a bunch of time to make each one witch is probably why he has not been making them recently.

Craig, would you be willing to make a 'Official Hydro Users Club' badge for those of us that live in the detailing 101 forum and are addicted to the greatness that is Hydro, as seen in this thread.

Please

Thanks for the info! can the image/layers be saved as a psd file i wonder? So i can tinker in photoshop?

P.S. where does the original vector image come from? who authored it?

COOPeration, I was wondering if you could make some badges for Dinan cars, there's plain Dinan and Dinan S1 and S2 packages... Here's a link to their site, http://www.dinancars.com/Mini.asp?Se...is=40&Model=91

Thanks!!

This is amazing!

I frankensteined some parts off of other mini pictures to make my car. You did an amazing job on the original pictures.

And don't forget Delta's Airplane MINI! I was at a Brave's game Friday night and it came driving across the field. I couldn't get my phone's camera app to launch quick enough to snap a pic though!

I guess this has been asked before, But how do you get one of the cartoons and how do you put it into your signature. The same with the Owners club badges would be great thanks Dylan.

You crop out your car from the original pics in the original post in photoshop or any other photo editing program.

Then you copy and paste parts of off other cars to make that particular car match yours yours. (optional)

Then you delete the background and save it as a gif or a png file (or you can just color match the background using a jpeg).

I probably just confused you more, but it's really simple.

I need to add some STUFF to my signature also and was going to ask someone to explain using the K.I.S.S principle. I have a difficult time adding badges let alone a picture of Winston03. Maybe someone has a step-by-step procedure for us non-Photoshop types.

Motor On, safely.

Check the other Forums and advertisers for badges. I know one person that was making them, but changed to another field. I think they were in Vermont.
