Assistance for Color / Tint Configuration

This is the on-line help assistance available for the Color / Tint Configuration HUD, which allows you to color and/or tint either your entire Camera GT, or specific parts of it. So you could color various parts separately if you like.

To load the Color / Tint Configuration HUD, you need to be wearing the Camera GT Dash HUD and have it synchronized to the Camera GT car you would like to color. Click on the Color button, and you will asked if its OK to attach the HUD - Color Configurator to your avatar. You should select the Yes button. You will then see the Color / Tint Configuration HUD as displayed below.

If it does not load, be sure to check your Camera GT Dash HUD is properly synchronized to the car. To be sure you could stand up, wait a few seconds then resit and give it a few seconds to synchronize.



To color the car, simply select the body-part / panel to color - which can be 'All body panels', or one of the specific panels, then select a base color to use, optionally a tint to apply over the base color, a Level of Shine, and click Apply button to see your car change in real-time.

Additionally you can select from 3 custom Interior finishes, as well as from 3 sets of Alloy rims.

Color settings are not saved between cars nor can they be. So if you rez a new car from your package, it will have default settings.

NOTE on Shine : I have included level of shine for further customization. Be aware though that shiny sculpts can look bumpier than non-shiny ones, so I recommend a NONE or LOW shiny setting. Also be aware that you cannot set shiny on any panels that have transparency ... for example the rear engine hood, and the windscreen. So when you apply shiny setting to your car these panels may look different. Often you can hide it by tinting those panels a little differently - you need to experiment.

NOTE: There is a 'graphite' finish on the bonnet and rear wing upon delivery. These are further customizations which you cannot revert to once changed. If you wish to use them later the only way is by extracting a new car from your package then don't recolor those panels.

I would like you to add a feature so i could save my car with the color i like. I can do that with my motorcyle and it saves me time. Thanks
