Curved stripes

[1959nikos]

How do you do curved stripes on skins guys?

Like the ones at Riks Brabham nose?
With which tool?

All I could think of was to draw it in Autocad and save the drawing as BMP.
The result was very fuzzy so I used the Blur Tool to smooth it down.
Not a crisp solution at all.

should get painted when you paint the main stripe or do you mean a separate color on nose the center stripe?

Rik has gone a step further too, he has painted a parallel stripe to that curve.

You mean the Stroke box at Blending options. Cool.
How do you control the colour of the stroke?
Or the thickness?

btw I dont think this can make parallel stripes.

Usually I create all shapes and lines and stuff with the polygonal tool, but this one (the curved stripes) is the default stripes. You have a gold and a red one in the default template I think.

I simply used that one and then used "stroke", thickness ~15 and used same colour as car, then I flattened the layer and used stroke again but this time thickness ~8 and the same colour as the stripes.
