Forza 3 Vinyl creator







Forza MotorSport 3 for xbox 360 is created to beat Gran Turismo series and things they added in Forza that GT dont have makes this game so unique and fun for everybody. Creating a car design is one of those things you can do in Forza series. Having your favorite car with your design connects players with the game better and it becomes more personal when you race online with other players. Forza 3 has vinyl creator where you can place anything you want on that car up to 1000 layers per side. In Forza 2 a lot of people would use rood of Mini cooper, because it has a big flat top where we can place a lot of layers to create something like a design of apple or create something like picture of superman, so then later when they save it can be places anywhere on any car. Now on Forza 3 they added a design editor so you can create what you want, save and place that on any car. Other thing you can do is upload it to storefront and gift it or sell it. U can also limit of how many you are going to sell on store front and that can make your design unique one of a kind. Just like racers with race times get a rating designers tuners also get a rating on how they do and how much they sell. Creating something simple as apple logo can take 25 or 50 layers, because each layer is one shape you chose. You can change size, rotate,move and make it transparent but each shape your choose is one layer. So it can be really difficult and time taking to create something like apple logo, where in illustrator it might take 15 to 30 min. I made Heineken logo copy that im selling on storefront and it took me 5 hours to make it and around 250 layers. Because the font Heineken uses is not in the game and everything had to be recreated to match exactly like the original logo. I plan to make more when i get time, but here are some designs other people made in this game and how creative people can get.

Forza 3 racing classes





Each car is ranked by classes, from F to X and R classes from R4 to R1. R classes are real race cars that you can use and do few mods to it. R4 class would be like a racing Porsche and R1 class is close to formulas. There whole body is modified for weight and big down force to keep the car on the track when you try to get around a corner around 100 MPH. When it comes to Stock car like Nisan 370z the car is in D class for its rank, but if you start adding parts to it the rank goes up. D class goes up to 250 and if you would add something like different tires and they add 25 points then that car moves up to a class C. Then it would be 275 C but C goes up to 400 so if you would to race that car in C you wouldn't have chance of winning a race. So to be competitive you have to make your car the best you can. Play with is and tune it. It depends what you want, to use to stack up those points up to 400 C class. Do you want to add horse power or down force. You need horse power, but having a grip is really important. What I do and a lot of people when they create there car is add so much horse power to be competitive but also have that grip and down force i need to handle that certain car in corners. So if I use Nisan 370z, i dont want to add additional 400 horse to the car and then all be having trouble staying on track. Only good thing would be in straight away. I like to put sticky tires, change the suspension so i don't get much body roll and bit more in depth like if its rwd (real wheel drive) add spoiler and add down force and change front bumper for down force in corners to keep pressure on front tires so i can turn and not slip of the track. Other is weight reduction, and when i have the grip and down force i want i put up the horse power as much as i can. People have to choose power over control of the car. I like to have horsepower but i also like to keep my car on the track. Here are some pictures of cars that are stock from the game and that are modified.

Forza MotorSport 3

Forza MotorSport 3 is a racing Simulator video game developed for xbox 360 by Turn 10. It was released in October 2009. Microsoft created Forza to compete with Sony Playstation game simulator Grand Turismo. The approach that Turn 10 used was to make the game usable to everybody. From kids playing as arcade with assists on to true simulator with assists off. Assists include traction, stability, abs, auto break, level from easy to hard and suggestive line that tells a player where he should on the track as specific corner and when to break to help them make the turn. This game really has a lot of stuff you can do to keep you entertained. You can race a story mode or go on xbox live and race. If you don't want to race you can upgrade your car for your game credits that you would earn in the game. Upgrades are really entertaining and every car in unique. You can add new brakes or a turbo, or just add a intake for a little bit of horse power. Other thinks you can do is make a car your own by designing it and some people car really get creative. Uploading photos, designs set ups for specific tune and just auctioning a car on xbox live. All this is on storefront that you can upload to sell or buy somebody's. i just recently recreated a Heineken logo design that people can buy for 5.000 CR and its ranked the best Heineken design on Forza 3 storefront. Creating designs is not simple as using illustrator. You have up to 1000 layers but you can only use shapes that have and each shape you use is a layer.

Ever played Mario or Pacman? If yes then you might know a little about xbox 360 and PS3 (playstation3). This is a new gen of gaming counsels and it is far more advance then the ones we played Mario on. PS3 is more advance in technology, but xbox360 delivered games that people want and its a big plus. On xbox360 you can play video games, watch movies, listen to music and listen to it while playing any game and the great thing is playing online with other people. They call it XBOX LIVE. While it will cost you $50 a year for gold membership it works great and its easy to use. PS3 also has online and its free, but it has its problems by lagging and acting up. I guess u get what you pay for. As I mentioned that you can watch movies on xbox, you can also sign up with netfilx. PS3 also give you ability to watch movies and it also has blue ray player built in. While one is better in one part and other in something else, both consles are fun to play and have one of the best games of all time.
