Mogshots [Updated 2/07 - Last ever shot]

[.*StReeTz*.]

Super clean, looks like it was done in Illustrator. Well done mate.

 

[Dead_Poetic]

very clean shot man, very nice!

Go Legacy!! i love that car so much (though not as much as the dc2), and you just made it better with that picture! so clean, though i have to agree with franz about the windshield, but then again it gives it a little bit of an effect. really smooth surfaces. awesome work !!

 

[Bram Turismo]

You're getting much better then me at this with every update Mog, keep it up 👍

Awesome cleanup with awesome reflection
The windshield's reflection could be cleaner
I mean if you get rid of that 3 purple areas on the windshield, it will be excellent....
the headlights are okay but clean them up is real pain in the butt, so don't bother

I agree about the purple on the windscreen, but overall a really fabulous update.

The only thing that could be more cleaned was the windshield, but still looks good.

The purple patches on the windshield is really distracting

i have to agree with franz about the windshield

I agree about the purple on the windscreen

Are they really, really obvious on your monitors? For me I can see the slightest hints of purple but nothing too distracting, I've had this problem before when viewing dark images on my iBook, it's been calibrated differently to people's monitors.

My monitor has been calibrated for my eyes so I think the colours might have been toned down a bit, i'll reset it to MacOS default later to see what it looks like then.

Thanks for the feedback everyone who has replied! 👍

That legacy shot is absolutely stunning Great work! 👍

I think it all depends on the brand and size of your monitor, I'm using a 19inch CRT ViewSonic and I can see it clearly, but if I saw that shot on my 26inch 1080i HDTV LCD, then I would most likely see it even more.

Whoa, amazing picture Mog. So fresh and so clean.

How do you get it looking that clean? Is it all with the smudge tool?

Thanks!
To get it as clean as it is I had to select various areas and use the Lens Blur filter on them. Then i went into 'Liquify' and bumped some of the harsher corners in to make them more natural looking. 👍

Nice video Mog, good job with the editing. at the vid with you and the walking stick. I gotta ask, where did you get the blue Silvia without a spoiler? I want one. Also, I didn't know you could drift. 👍

Love the comp entries, they both are looking suberb. 👍

 

[LGforce]

Legacy and Comp Entries Amazing stuff bro 👍

 

[Driftfreak_88]

I just love the comp entries. they are some amazing art work. real good job.

 

[Speedster502]

Wow the video is really good as well as the comp entries love the Legacy, what are others on about as I cant see what their on about. The only probelm with the vid is the quality. Love the Impreza and Rally shot. That rally shot is goning to make me lose that comp. Great work
If you have time take a look at my gallery.

 

[franz]

where did you get the blue Silvia without a spoiler?

I think that is the open top Silvia, because of the video quality, I thought it was a R32 GTS or some sort, but later I could tell it a silvia convertiable

Great video editing Mog 👍 Music is okay but fit the title well, maybe the video itself is too much action to fit in the Joy of Driving. Anyhow, I think you either need a LCD/plama screen or a video capture card.

Two comp entries are awesome as always. Love that Celica one alot and that artistic cropping for two Subies are great too. Great job man

Thanks! I try to drift but i'm not that good at it really.
As for the Silvia, as far as I can remember it's just a standard blue Silvia that i bought from one of the used car listings. I'll take some photos of it at some point.

Yeah, i'm looking into getting EyeTV for my Mac because I can't just get a simple video capture card for my iBook. Costs around £125 though
The Silvia isn't a convertible though, IIRC.

GTfour wowowow. Your work is insane man!

Wow Moglet! That Celica shot is one of the cleanest I've seen here. Highly realistic as well. Exceptional work yet again.

I think you may think about getting some cheap USB video capture device
but you need it to run under windows with bootcamp
for the silvia, are you sure it is not Varietta version?
because it is a hardtop convertiable, and never open top in the game

I would say, buy one for the inside of the computer, because they are way better then USB ones.

 

[franz]

Yes it is true if you have a G5 Mac or PC, but iBook is only good for usb
if you have a G5 Mac or PC with PCI-E with this card, it will be heaven with PS3

I would love to see firewire capture device
since it is the fastest port available for iMac/iBook
maybe with HD compatiability would be nice too

The cheapest USB capture device I can get for MacOS is the £125 EyeTV box, all of the rest just pick up Freeview signals so you can record TV, but they have no input for consoles. I can't run Windows with bootcamp because i'm on a G4 iBook running OS 10.3.9. Plus, I wouldn't want to be touching Windows with this laptop!

Oh, and yes it is the Varietta. I had no idea it was a hardtop convertible!

 

[Bram Turismo]

I love the composition of the video Moglet, especially the music which I fully enjoyed, just perfect for these kind of videos 👍

And that Celica, like I said in the comp, beautiful 👍 Creepy how you got it to look so realistic

 

[sejtur]

That celica and subaru in your prev update are great!

 

[.*StReeTz*.]

I really liked the rally truck photo. Well done.

 

[JacoJa]

That was the first ever non-retarded GT4 movie I have ever seen. Other GT4 videos in YouTube are either ruined by hardcore techno japanese rap, or something which makes Rage against the machine sound like Hillary duff. The music you used though was fantastic. Great Video... and I enjoyed watching some of your race moves (especially the RX-7 race car @ Laguna Sega).

Also, on my laptop I have a special GT4 photomode folder that I use when I see really, really great pictures which will help inspire me. I've had it for about a year now, and only about 10 pictures have been selected. Your Celica and Legacy photos are truly amazing, and are now part of the pwnage list. Incredibly nice photos Moglet!! 👍 👍 Remind me to visit more often.

Thanks for your reply jacoja!
I'm glad you liked the GT4 video, I just wish I could record in better quality than I currently can. The Mazda footage was from a 'photo race' contest that I took part in over on the Playstation.com forums. I came 2nd in the race part with my overall time, and 1st in the Photomode part, placing me 1st overall.
Here is the full replay from on board if you're interested:


As for your folder, I'm glad I was able to inspire you. 👍 Hopefully some part of that went towards your gobsmacking F1 'race contest entry!

Thankyou to everyone else who has commented on the video and my past updates. It means a huge amount to me and will inspire me to make future updates.
Speaking of which....

Tourist Trophy 'Night' Update
I've been playing TT a lot recently and since discovering the widescreen option in Photomode I decided to go for a spin around a nice city track taking some photos. Here are 2 of the best. The first one is the obvious blur shot and the 2nd is an experimental piece that is designed to look good rather than be realistic. 👍

Looking good Moglet! the cam angel on the first one is nice 👍

 

[.*StReeTz*.]

Yes, I agree. Great work on the first shot mate. The blur is great. I like the night shot composition, and the headlight shining looks great. Nice update 👍 Check out my latest one if you get a chance.

looks good ... purhapes we should have had a tt comp instead of a gt4 rally comp
