The GT Sport Livery Editor Competition 11 - CLOSED

[syntex123]

Made in Japan. That's literally what Nissan means. Livery and image by @JKcreativeworks - (click for full-size)​

This Fortnight's Theme
We've left the dust and entered the asphalt again. This round we'll work on a car that many of us had as a childhood dream; GTP Sunday Cup creator @JKcreativeworks explains:

As I am a Japanese car enthusiast, and a sucker for Nissan or Mitsubishi, I would like to do something with Nissans finest; the GT-R cars! . "GathRing", dedicated to the R-badge Nissans, the R32 GT-R, R33 GT-R, R34 GT-R and R35 GT-R!
As I see "GathRing" being a (fantasy) Japanese Nissan GT-R meet on the Parking lot Daikokufuto, I would like to keep things realistic. In other words, we use the N-class cars. But I also accept the Gr.4 car as it could possibly go through as a street/track car, but it's a street meet so a Japanese license plate is mandatory on your car.
Also, I wish to have a nice bonus pic taken on the streets of Japan!

CARS: Nissan GT-R cars only!

Spoiler: cars allowed

R32 GT-R
R33 GT-R

LIVERIES: Do what you want, give it a subtle street, track or race car look, replica or fantasy, Itashi or whatever you feel like doing. But keep in mind, the cars are located in Japan!
USER MADE DECALS: Allowed
LOCATIONS: Shiretoko for the main pics, bonus image taken on the streets of Japan
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: Must use a Japanese license plate.

4) Zoom in to 102mm (certain cars may require more or less to fit in the viewfinder) and move the camera until you're happy that the car is centred in the shot:

5) Move the focus to the nearest corner of the car (I normally centre on the headlamp closest to the centre of the image) and take your shot.

6) For a shot of the rear, go back to the Car tab and hit R2, switch to Camera and refocus (again I use the tail lamp nearest the centre) and take the shot. If the car has moved off-centre then move the viewfinder and adjust the zoom as you see fit.

For new cars/liveries simply find the scape in your library and reopen and change the car, then rinse and repeat as above.

I’m expecting to see a bunch of cars with anime on it.

I’m going to avoid the “low hanging fruit” and try something else.

 

[dizco]

 

[teensonacid]

oh HELL YES

 

[Lost Sheltie]

Well I was going to do some driving tonight, but now I have something important to do

 

[syntex123]

If you don’t mind I’m going to ask if you can put stuff like that in a spoiler

 

[Raphaele]

One question regarding Japanese license plates:

Spoiler: Where can I find information about?

And would my own plate match a realistic Nissan GT-R? Green or black type?

You mean like this? I don’t see why not regarding your plate. @JKcreativeworks is the bossman this round so I’ll let him say a proper yes/no.

Yeah, Japanese licence plates are mad haha, I'd like some links to ones I could use. I struggle to follow EU ones so I'm a bit lost

This guy has a lot of Japanese plate stuff. All numbers, several cities and more stuff you could need. The one linked is a useful template so you can make whatever plate you want.

Wow
I'm even more lost I think I'll just spend all my time making the perfect licence plate that dude is awesome and insane I love it

 

[Teal]

Just blur the plate like so many people do online.

 

[TheGeologist]

Aww man, was really hoping this competition would be to have a matching driver suit and car livery :/

 

[syntex123]

Maybe the winner makes that decision. I hope it happens.

...and a pure helmet round would be cool too.

 

[KK78]

Shame we can't use the GR.3 car

 

[Nico_Ble99]

Been a while since I took part in one of these.

FINAL ENTRY

Spoiler: Additional shot

 

[tankuroded]

I once made a livery for GTR2 that had a Japanese plate in it; I simply took a screenshot from TXR0's number plate creator part (when buying a car).

May I suggest a future

FINAL ENTRY

"Once he heard that the Gath-R-Ing was coming, Itami knew it was time for his JUN R34 GT-R to hit the road..."

Spoiler: Arrived a bit early...

 

[syntex123]

@JKcreativeworks may I propose an idea. Image stitching.

Three Sky's are a little to show in the bonus image (if anyone wants to show off a full meet), may I ask that stitching images together (without editing them) to make a better atmosphere to be allowed?

That was my idea too. As long as the centerpiece is our own livery, I can’t see why we couldn’t do that...

 

[JKcreativeworks]

That indeed would be cool, if you are able to do so, be my guest. Go crazy!

[RZQSPEED]

And he specializes in One-Make Sport Mode races as well, and he is on the same boat as @Tidgney in terms of the Manufacturer Series manufacturer in the Asia region.

 

[CorvairGuy69]

I don't have it but wouldn't the Safety Car R35 be allowed?

 

[Strax]

I don't have it but wouldn't the Safety Car R35 be allowed?

It's a Gr.X Car so I don't think so.

 

[syntex123]

Maybe as a cop car busting a meet? Haha. Let’s get @JKcreativeworks to say yes or no.

 

[baldgye]

I was thinking about the GT-R with the spot-headlights on the bonnet, as a crazy custom GT-R.. that'd be cool if it was allowed

The big numbers are always xx-xx or •• •/xx not sure about a plate with only three numbers, maybe it has the -, maybe not

That’s a rally car so that’s a hard no. Unless of course you can stitch the road car and the rally car together and make it look authentic, but even that is probably a hard no.
