_________________________
Update Info: Well, I won't be making it to the next round of the Tourney, so here's a handful of leftovers from the shoot with the F40. PSN being down hampered me; I just wanted the right time of day for the set, not the rain, but without online, I couldn't set these things, having to rely on Arcade Mode's randomization. Oh well. It's inspired by the old Pilot F40 LM that ran in the BPR series in '95 (
Google Image Search here), so I hope that explains it. This also marks the 3rd time an F40's shown up in the gallery... so maybe I should give it a bit of a break
.
Oh, and there is a bonus 3rd image in there. Enjoy!
BMXMitch - Heh, thanks, it's weird that you and ceiling_fan have suggested the same thing in the last week
. I create the presentation images based on whatever mood I'm in or influences I've seen recently, that can at least slightly relate to the subject. This one, for example, was inspired by some movie covers in my collection.
Ashes -
. I like using tabs because I like having the gallery as an interactive object for people. Having to click the tabs encourages people to view full-size, especially since they don't know what they're in for đź‘Ť
Sems - ...maybe
Yui-san - Good to see you around! Yeah, I played some GT1 to get some better first-hand reminders of what I was aiming for (can't trust the memory after all these years). It's a tiny game, but it's still a bunch of fun!
Zambuca - You're too kind!
jgda9rs - Yeah, I do miss the old locations, and certain aspects of the old Photomode. It certainly was a lot quicker than this one, from setting up shots to transferring to PC (especially that last one). However, one nice thing is being able to shoot in a replay without having to save the replay first for multi-car shoots. That I can appreciate!
Moglet - I'm glad to get such positive responses from this, because part of the reason it sat for so long was because I was unsure how I felt about it. And FishyJuice got it - Fire Black, definitely one of the nicest colours available for the MP4.
NBDesignz -
Dylans1o - Thanks, but... what do you mean?
C_F -
, that I was! But those magazine layouts are on vacation for the time being. There was a bit more planned for the MP4... but I'll leave that for now...
TVR - I enjoy that one a lot too; it's hard to get the road texture to turn out well, I find.
Rossticles - Imageshack might've had a hiccup, but it all works fine now đź‘Ť
Luis - Yeah, I was struck by the sparseness of GT1, so it showed up a lot in the images, glad you caught that. The Mazda was a ton of fun to drive, I just wish my stripes could be transferred to the game! As for Evo... yeah, trust me, I feel the same about symmetry and tidy lines, so the odd image sizes always throws me off. The problem is, when the images are cropped to the centre line all the time, it comes off as kind of boring and sterile, page after page, so maybe that's why they do it? Full-justified text always struck me as too newspaper-like, but yeah, I'm gonna work on fixing that a bit better whenever the next magazine layout shows up. Glad to get some detailed feedback from you đź‘Ť
