[DLRgian]

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Come on guys, that shot can't be perfect.

I see there's a lot to be better on that shot but I'll your opinions and tips

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

I just took al ook Fallen'

The only difference is that you are using Photoshop with which everything is possible and I'm using Gimp

 

[PLmatt91]

Not bad, I like it. Maybe a little more contrast and you'd set it off for sure.

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Better?

 

[FaLLeNAn9eL]

[FaLLeNAn9eL]

Very nice update and great editing 👍

Nice shots dude, you're racing down a distinguished road there man! My gallery was founded on the principles of darkness and night, so a big 👍 to you! I like how you are trying to re-create night shots too, and its nice to see the improvements each time. I started out like you, with experiments, and I still experiment now. The secret is to make little improvements each time, eventually it will fall into place. 👍

Here are a couple of tips: If you want to create a great night shot, study each track and the direction, strength, and type of light there. It's not just a case of darkening the picture in PS, you have to create the look and feel in game first - Thats how I create my night shots.

For night shots, depending on the time of night I'm trying to create, I use heavy negative EV values. By heavy, I mean in excess of -5 for really dark images I go to -10. Also, if your nearer even EV values (-5 to 0) think about a slight shift towards orange - IMO this gives an early/late evening feel to the iamge. If your nearer -10, use a slight shift towards blue - IMO this gives a feel like the dead of night when the moon is shining down. Also think about using the mature setting too. Vivid is great in the day, but colours don't stand out so much at night. I hope that has helped a little. If you need any further ideas, feel free to look through my gallery at my darker updates, you might get some ideas. 👍

Keep those night-time experiments coming man! 👍

Good thing me and Pink thought of it

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Thanks for all the comments guys 👍

 

[DLRgian]

No Problemmo.

 

[Nissan~GuruZ33]

They look nice to me, i really think youre getting good at this mang.

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Thanks bro;

Here's a try at adding a rain effect:

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Any tips, comments or opinions?

 

[DLRgian]

It looks pretty good.

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Thanks, there are so many options in Gimp which I haven't try


And that's even not Photoshop

 

[FaLLeNAn9eL]

looks very convincing but the cars look a bit distorted. is it possible to apply the filters on the car and background seperately? if so try lowering the effects of the rain on the cars while maintaing the strong filters on the background. it should make the cars move visible.

 

[Touring Mars]

Nice pics! I really like the idea of doing the night shot at Le Mans for that extra touch of realism 👍 Maybe try doing a rain shot on the wet track at Tsukuba? 💡

 

[De@tthwi§ho0]

It looks really good.. But as fallen said,, the cars looks a bit distorted.. But that's a little thing.. Great editing mate

 

[bjc-3000]

The rain effect itself looks very promising, but it would look even more realistic if you could somehow manage to apply headlight reflections on the asphalt, since the road is wet.
I could imagine that reflections on the ground could produce a feeling of rain better than a rain effect itself. So one could lessen the distorting rain effect.
May I suggest to have a look at the link below. It´s my try at rain at night:

BTW: does gimp work with layers? Nevertheless, keep on editing! 👍

Prost!

 

[NTX]

I like mate, good update. The rain effect came out pretty good. Congrats

 

[PLmatt91]

Looks okay, but still not rain like to me.

 

[gt_masta]

Looks ok, but using a filter doesn't make good things usually...

You should try removing the watermark and here's (Click on Snow/Rain) a good tutorial to have a better rain effect. You'll probably be able to do something similar in GIMP.

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Thanks for all the comments


And yes, Gimp works with layers but I haven't got a clue how it works, so anyone wants to school me on it?

 

[DLRgian]

I'm a Gimp

 

[GM]

That rain attempt came out pretty well, keep 'em coming 👍
