GT Photomode 2.0 Competition -Week 96- CLOSED

:D, realistic indeed, as is TW's. Not used to seeing that from him, but awesome nonetheless. Very detailed...
 
Yeah I know. The disks do light up but what I was saying was that they don't light up like in GT3
Oh. Lol. I haven't played GT3 since I was 10 yrs old.:lol: I forgot everything about it.

Yeah...that Toyota GT1 also looks like it used softglow. Is this allowed? I'm not sure - hope it is though.

I've always wondered if softglow is allowed. I've refrained from using it, because I was never really sure about it.

i've seen a lot of entries on this comp that utilized diffuse glow before.

anyways i was planning on working on my entry today, until i blew my engine on my real car on my way to work :grumpy::ouch:
 
what was wrong with it?
I just hear alot of people saying their car blew up (mostly in America or Canada). Is it just a phrase or did the thing literallly catch fire in a violent manner?
 
Usually means the engine stopped working for an internal reason. i.e. A thrown rod could be described as the engine blowing.
 
ah ha..ok....I previously thought that the people saying it were so stupid that they forgot to change the oil or something. So it's just a break down in other terms.
 
Yeah. lol. It would be pretty bad if people did that... wait, no it wouldn't. I got my car for free because that's exactly what the previous owner did to it.:lol:

not me lol. mine was more of a terminal damage. i still have to find out why.
 
guys, guys, guys....this wouldn't happen if you drive a Volvo. Ok ok, I'm 17 and drive my parent's Volvo but it has indipendant rear suspention, a 2.5 Litre straight 5 block that's in the new Focus ST and usability. Mine has 260000 on the clock and it has never "blown up", though once it did have coolant leeking into the interior and when we took it to the manic mechanic, he resolved it by bypassing the heater:dunce:.

anyways - back to the topic. It's the weekend so I may put something up. Trying desparatly to find a decent image that I could blur the background of. Thinking Fuji but has anyone got a better suggestion?

ps...it's an 850 SE estate with the limited sports suspention - the only one in Australia apparently.
 
Thanks Franz and Alex. I am sure TW or NTX has this one in the hand for now, but I hope I'd give a good fight. Swiss entry is also sweet 👍
 
Yep, the TW's Skyline is awesome too, it has a the wild look that I love so much. I coulnd't resist opening PS now that I've a spare day. I was near to close it in the middle, the ligh was not so easy to cheat as I thought, but finally it came out like one of my best I guess.

Anyhow I have to critizice the actual state of poll vottings. Since most of people left the forum activity, I feel many competitions are more like a toy, and many good screens are being underestimated lately. That's not nice anymore. I'll stay tuned as always to vote all polls possible to make this fun, but fair also.

You win. That is just amazing and breath taking. Wow, one of the best images I've seen so far and from you.
 
LDS - Once more, you show how high your skills are, well done with the NSX 👍

Alex - C´mon, give us a chance :lol: 👍 Mindblowing photo you have there!
 
That's very nice Alex 👍

Cleaning is flawness and I love the tones and colors. You also did a good job on the curved blur but the car is in a very akward position according to the blur, but apart from that that's an awesome entry 👍

I also loved Lds' entry upon the first look, the angle and colors really did the trick. But then I opened it up in full size only to realize that it wasn't cleaned up that well :indiff: If that car would've been cleaned up as good as the tourney S2000, that would be indeed "mind blowing" 👍
 
Alex: The color is so well balance and the cleanup is amazing. 👍 👍
What draws my attention is the headlights' reflection, and I really hope you can do the same to the windshield. :lol: Bram is right about the curve blur, and it shouldn't be that curvy. The other problem is the picture itself. The Audi is not quite parallel to the right side of the road, which makes a difficult decision ... "Perfect blur" vs "Real vanishing point"
 
I was going to put up a semi-decent entry, but there's no longer a point in doing that 👍

EDIT: Actually, watch this space. I'ma gonna take Tupac's idea.

Final entry :)


I hate to break it to you, but I just noticed that you're on a City Course, not a World Circuit, so your entry is ineligible. Sorry.

Oh, don't make me talk about your Solstice rims :lol:

Just joking, you know I'm only with honest words, and you're right with the blur. The vanishing point is just behind the right mirror, but I hate radial blurs that looks very straight and photoshopped there. I went crazy deforming the tarmac and finally decided to click the green tick and leave it. It's not perfectly real, but it's more natural and spectacular.

As I said, the key was the lightning. The color correction makes it very eyecandy, but it has the wow because you can feel -the more or less- the TT comming to you in a realistic atmosphere.

I don't know anything about the reflections, because they're stock :D :D. Luckly the graphics engine didn't cast the shadows or reflections over the windshield or it'd be a nightmare to get them right! After these years of photomoding, you know...

Later I'll curve a little bit the blurred trees just to follow the tarmac's trick. Don't kill me if they're not physically accurated :lol:

Looks like you're correct. Not to worry at all, it'll be ready for the next comp.

PD. Ok, wait for me. I'm trying to fix this =)

Yeah ... I know the rims was bad on the Solstice (kinda hopeless actually) and I hope I can cheat using 3D rims from phototravel, at least it is more shiny as it is :D

I do agree straight radical blur is getting boring. Curve blur is the way to go specially when you have a TT, but I still can't believe you go too wild with the blur. Anyhow it is still an awesome entry, and I hope LDS will let it be in the poll.
 
alex ... what an entry...too bad it's on the track that its on. The headlights are fantastic, the blur is more or less perfect, and quite spectacular. The colors and tones are always very natural from you.
LdS...also a very awesome entry from you too. If you put the time into it that you put into the s2000 as bram said, well I think you'd win, but you shouldn't put that much time into it, simply to give others a chance :D..Phenomenal job bro! 👍
btw, thanks for my thrown together entry. The last one I produced before I lost photoshop and my entire HD, my sata driver has dissapeared. Can't boot anything...:indiff:
Gonna buy another computer soon. I won't be producing anything for awhile.
