A great shot that fit my desktop perfect:sly:. and of course I will be be drooling in here:) as long as you post great pics, I will be drooling:D
 
Cool PGR3 pics TVR. But I too think they look a little bit toyish. The amount of polygons is amazing, and the detail to every little part of the car is incredible. And the sunlight effects are great as well. But the part of PGR3 that is killing me is the wheels. The wheels look horendous. They seem to have there own lighting enviornment that the car does not have, and there seems to be a lack of shadows on them. The shot of the front end of the Lotus looks very toyish because of the wheels. The diffuse light highlights on them look very out of place. But please realize that the rest of the picture looks fantastic. The white paint has very realistic look to it with the shadows and the reflections look pretty good. It does look a little glossy, but that's XBox for ya. Also, the shot has poor shadows under the car. The orangish light from above the car does'nt seem to be casting a shadow, as there are no shadows under the tires. That detracts largely from the realism of the shot. I am sure the shadows probably look better while you are out racing and take pictures of the car in motion though. But they look good TVR.👍

You know not every rim in the world is shiny, some supercar makers like to keep the rims un shiny. While making them strong and the white highlight on the rim is done by me.

I thought the highlight on the rim would add a bit of realness to them, also not all rims in GT4 are shiny. However too many of the rims in GT4 are flat. Also some of the garage locations offer more sunlight, which offer more shadows.

Remember the Esprit V8 is mainly in a shady place. So that does not add many shadows to it. Also like I said before it depends on the day, and what angle i use.

But thanxs for the comments 440, I am trying to improve my shots in PGR3. As well as the rims.

@Gerco Thanxs a lot Gerco.

Here is a smaller version of the 1st shot, which has been edited a bit more in PS7:

 
Ok here is the 2nd part of the Esprit V8, but don't worry work will begin on the 2nd part of V8 Vantage later on folks.

Lotus



I am also looking to improve how i show off my updates in the replies.
 
Nice joking, but they do not look like toy cars to me. Now some people, that really clean up GT4 cars make there shots look like toy cars. (I,m not naming who those people are)

But many of the cars in game, are made out of fibre class.

Which look shiny and plastic, when there is a lot of sunlight on them. While being in the shadows, in other words many cars in the shadows do not show many highlights. Anyway here is an example:

But remember Fyffe, I am not having a go at you. I am just putting my point out, and also remember i am trying to improve my PGR3 shots more.

So I can really show, what the PGR3 cars look like on a HDTV. And to show PGR3 is the better looking, and the more real looking game then GT4.

Maybe some people cannot see much difference on a SDTV, but it is a different story on HDTV. Even in 720p or 1080i.

Also I may take some shots when running the game at 720p, to see if it makes a difference to my PGR3 photomode shots.

Gallery News - 27th April 06

Ok I will allow 2 people to request 1 PGR3 car each, as a treat for summer. And 2 different people can request 1 car in GT4 each, but if you don't know the car list in PGR3.

Then I will post up the PGR3 car list.

P.S: Yoda cannot request at the moment, due to he has already request 3 times in the past. And well he will have to wait till later this year, also no one is allowed to request: 2CV's or MX5's.

The cars looks like toy cars imo because of how he shot is taken, it looks like you are lying on the ground just a few inches away from the cars. The cars have much reality, they seem to be real. the shot is really great, but the angle made them look like toy cars. I hope that you understand drivel:) (sorry, for my bad english:crazy: )


And one more thing... I would like to see some shots of Lotus Elise motorsport:D (GT4)

You know there is no lye down feature in the garages part of PGR3 photomode, that shot was fully zoomed out. Which was the only way to get them in the shot.

So it looks like I tricked you into thinking it was tooken on the ground, when indeed it was not Fyffe lol. And remember I am not having a go at you buddy.

Oh and Fyffe has the last GT4 photomode request spot, that just leaves 2 PGR3 photomode request spots.

Hrm.....Why? :roll:

To challange those people, who do not like PGR3. Anyway back onto the update, I may even sometime tell you lot how i did that bonnet colour trick.
 
What do you think of the first shot, which Icall the first shot:

Vantage got a bit sick

Also thanxs for the comments, guys there is still 2 request a car in PGR3 photomode spots open folks.
 
well, the shot isn't bad. but the shot dosen't speak to me, the rims looks great and the hood... hmm... I don't now. If you hade have the hood white (but still as shiny that it is now) and the rest of the colors like it is now would be better imo.


:cheers:
 
Ok the bonnet was not white at first, you may go wtf or how. But it is true, i used the sun light and did some moding to the sunlight's colour as well as some of the other colours. Which did not take long to do, and it was not even hard to do as well.

Oh and LM I still need you to pick a model, out of your request.

Anyway here is my artist week 7 comp entry:



Some info on the week 7 comp entry:

20 mins before I finished working on this remix. It was so big, it crashed my photoshop 7. After a restart I remembered, something was eating up way too much of my memory.

Anyway before it was resized, its total res was past 5k+ by 1k+. With a file size of 7MB+, yeah crazy I know lol.

I don't think u'll change their opinions.. Actually you will not change my opinion too , so.. ;)
 
I like a challenge, i reckon give it time and i will. But belive me you need to see it on a HDTV, to see it in its full glory.

Plus even when transfered, the shots look better on my PC via my HDTV at 1080i. Even if you looked at it on a LCD/TFT Monitor or CRT monitor, it would not still look better then on a HDTV.
 
Most likely just before summer, which is not far away. Anyway I still have GT4 running, so I think i will begin work on another update now guys.

And Fyffe, the near ghostly white adds to the title of the first Vantage shot. Which I will repeat, and the title once again is Vantage got a bit sick.
 
Some nice pics, TVR. But about PGR3 I totally agree with 440's post. 👍

Still a request spot open? Well, you still have it in your title so....


Testarossa, while driving please. :)

I just loved that 1:18 model ten years back. Gool ol' times.

But sejtur, have you ever played it on a HDTV, remember both GT4 & PGR3 shots do not show there full detail when transferred. Then what they looked like on any TV, I like a challenge.

So I am aiming to improve the shots, while showing what they look like on a HDTV. By photoshoping them. Maybe the amount of polygons are overloading some people’s brains lol, but like a

ll racing games.

Some cars look more real then others in PGR3, and use the polygons better then others.

Also the devs of PGR3 had a set deadline, so they had to rush some of the cars. Just like in GT4. But I think i may know a way to improve the rims, with out editing them. Since people like 440, said the rims ruin the car. Same has to be said about GT4's rims.

Anyway here is the Pao.

P.S: Also some of the rims in PGR3, use the polygons better then others. But like I said before devs had a set deadline, so some of the rims were rushed.

Last thing, some people who clean there shots up. While having to remodel the lines on some of the GT4 cars, make some of there shots look toony or toy car like.

I,m not naming which galleries. Oh and I remembered something else, since PGR3 has more detail aswell as more polygons.

It is bound to take more work, to take the shots to the next level through PS7. While GT4 has less polygons then PGR3. Which does help out, when trying to take the shots to the next level in PS7.

----

Sejtur has a PGR3 photomode request spot, ok sejtur since some of my best GT4 work has come from requests. Since I work even harder on peoples requests, so i can plz them.

You may finally start to see my better and true PGR3 shots come to life, in both yours and lm's request. In other words I will be working even more on the PGR3 cars request shots, so i can plz people.

And mainly lm and sejtur.
