A downloadable tool

LiveryHelper is a simple Blender Plugin that aids the creation and customization of specifically car liveries, although it can be used for anything!

Select a source image, in addition to metallic + roughness maps (if you want them), choose a base color tint, then apply the livery to the selected mesh. The livery can be moved, rotated, scaled, and even mirrored on the other side of the car automatically. Liveries can be applied "Planar", ie; projected onto the car like a sticker, or using "Box" projection (otherwise known as "Triplanar" projection), for large tiling textures. All of this uses built in Blender functionality, and is generated and added to your Material's shader nodes in the form of a Node Group and an empty to move/rotate/scale your livery.

This was initially a tool i made for internal development purposes, as i couldn't find anything else that did this type of thing the way i wanted. I figured others may find it useful, so here it is! To reitterate, it is a polished up version of a previously mentioned internal development tool, so may be a little rough round the edges. If many people find this tool useful i will definately consider spending some more time developing it further!

Version 1.0.1 Update Notes - Fixes bugs caused by changes introduced in v3.2.0 of Blender that rendered the plugin completely broken for v3.2.0 of Blender.
