SpeedART- Birthday Update!

It looks stunning, the lighting adjustments are spot on and the reflections look brilliant too. But isn't it at the wrong angle for the blur to be moving that way? Or is it drifting?
 
Wow! Didn't expect so much comments from this!

:lol: «Huston, we have a problem. I’m driving in a highway at high-speed velocities on a half Aston Martin. Over
Half-car not confirmed. Please set coordinates, over.
FM2. Over
You are driving sideways, please turn right and you will be fine, over» :lol:

Cool update, and compared to the original one, this is much better. 👍
:lol: Thanks LdS! Glad you liked it, and seemed to make a story out of it....:)

Holy s***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOT!!!! VERY HOT!!!!
Congrats to both:tup:

Yeah, by the first line I was guessing that you liked it! Thanks NTX!

WOW, it looks fantastic. The editted lighting is great, very realistic, and the smooth motion blur is amazingly cool as well for that photo and angle. All these modifications are simple, but well done!

Thanks! Simple things are often the best things to possibly do though! Thanks again!

I'm back, again.
Oh boy! That SL65 is just an awesome picture. The Vantage is just funny to look at, because the camera angle warps the dimensions of the car! :lol:
Regardless, the touch-ups for it intensify the shine and reflections, which makes it look fantastic. Great job once again Speedster:)👍

I know that the camera is quite weird but that's how it came in the post :lol: Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate comments from everyone.

Wow! A comment from the great Moglet! Concerning the shot, I think it is drifting but as I didn't take the shot I don't know what it was doing! I think I made it look like it was drifting as it is a unusual angle for a drift like that. Anyway I am glad you liked it! Thanks again!

Wow!! What a collection! :eek:
Great work though! :) :D

Nice remix too. 👍

Thanks! Glad you liked the remix!

Some great comments so far! Keep it up!
 
Very cool shot, speeds. 👍

I sure hope that car is drifting... :scared:

Only thing not quite working is the font on the bottom. Although is very nice, it doesn't match that well with the car's design and what it makes me feel with it's design.

But great edit of a very cool shot (the orginal), kudos to you both. :cheers:


EDIT: Just saw your banner, simple but good looking. I see you fell in love for that font too. :)
 
So glad that whoever did the modelling on the Vantage decided to eliminate the excuse for a boot release button...

nice remix, Speeds. Odd shot though... but striking nonetheless.
 
I can't believe I forgot to post on the SL65 entry!

It's a brilliant shot, technically the car looks perfect as if it has come straight out of GT5, those reflections are spot on. You've used the tools well. The only minor fault is that the front of the shadow on the right has jagged edges. A simple few knocks with the Liquify tool would sort that out in 30 seconds though. 👍

Other than that, everything about it is perfect. No faults or problems whatsoever.

I do too....Looking back at the font, you are right it doesn't suit the Aston's personality. Thanks again Beerzy. Glad you liked my new banner. I plan to do another one after the tournament with maybe a few shots that I make in that.

That was a bit random :lol:, Thanks for your comment though!

Thanks! I forgot to fix the shadow after zoom blurring. I will try the liquify thing. Thanks again, I am still suprised it has no votes though...

EDIT: Apart from yours Mog :lol:
 
I am still suprised it has no votes though...

So am I actually, the reflections are brilliantly cleaned up, the blur is faultless and the car looks great overall. I don't know why people aren't voting for it, it can't be because it has a slightly vectored look to it because my shot has that too and I've got 2 votes. :indiff:

One of those votes to your shot being my own....
 
Great remix work, also thanks for remixing the shot, anyway I should explain if the stock shot was drifting or standing still, and well it was standing still.

However, it was standing still until Speedster got it moving in his remix. :)
 
Amazing...👍👍+rep

Tommi:D

Thanks!

When I was remixing I couldn't tell......:D Thanks for your comment.

Here's another update for you! It's a remix of Mog's Subbie shot it may look very smilar but I can assure you it isn't. Also you will be able to notice my brand new signature! Designed by a famous car designer who we all know.....Alexwrc!!! I hope you guys enjoy it!



Enjoy.
 
I see you added some blur to the scenery closer to the car. Did you do anything else to it? Apart resizing the shot, of course. :lol:
 
Wow, very nice work!

As it is smaller, I could barely tell the difference between both shots because of the similarity in tones. Now that you said that and seeing the one you started working, I see the difference.
Little details like door lines (Mog's are thinner and more precise) and the small line near the headlight not tottally worked on your shot make a difference but still is very close.

Very nice job, speeds! 👍
 
Hahaha, I'm famous. I read it in other post there and I got a good laught.

Yeah, the image is quite similar to the Moglet's one. Now I understand you used the stock photo. I've noticed the rear window seems to be tinted (Sp?, dark film), it's curious.

I know that's why I made it smaller :D I really struggled with the door lines and really don't know how Mog did it. Thanks for your comment though!
 
To get them like that you have to completely redraw them from scratch, you can't use the existing ones, or almost nothing of them.
They are on most cars too wide and jaggy.

Wow, it looks really good! I did my door lines by drawing over the existing line locations with a black 1 pixel line tool on a new layer and then I went back to the background layer and cloned out all of the existing doorlines (What a pain!).

Then I changed the black 1 pixel lines to Overlay mode and started a new layer above the black lines for the white lines. I then drew these all in at 1 pix using the line tool to either the left or right of the dark line, depending on where the light hits the car. Then I change the opacity of that layer using the eraser tool set to 50%!

It's a lot of hard work but it makes a big difference. Just one small suggestion for your shot, try making the blur transition less sudden. On my shot you might notice that the buildings in the background are more blurry the further away they are from the camera, like they would be in real life. 👍

You did a very good job though, nice one!

Sorry that I missed your comment before! Well you are famous :D With this shot my aim was to get it as near as possible to Mog's shot just to see if I could do it. The rear window was strange but that's how it looked in the orginal photo and possibly on the car too. Thanks for your comment though!

Yes, I agree these lines were very wide but I reduced their size by a bit. I'm not brilliant at line rebuilding yet. Thanks again!

Thanks Mog! It means a lot to me to hear that it looks good compared to your own shot! I will try that line technique on possibly the orginal shot. It sounds hard work but if it improves the picture I am always willing to try. I did not notice the blur being gradual on your shot until I had posted it. It's something else that I can try. Thanks again Mog! Firstly for letting me remix the shot! And secondly for commenting!
 
Great news guys! I just bought myself a PS3!!! After all the probelms I have had (See PS3 General Disccusion Thread) I finally have got my hands on it!
 
Congrats, speeds!

Do you already have it i your hands and running?

Wise move, boy (with Texas accent)! :sly:
 
Good for him! :lol:

speeds, hurry up do download GTHD, it's worth it! And it's free! MUAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!


:odd:
 
Thanks guys! Just letting my brother play at the moment. So I have a bit of a break. Yes Beerzy I have downloaded GTHD and completed it. It is so good! Can't wait to start playing more things on it. First I have to go play Motorstorm again (fab game, love the mud!). Thanks again guys!

Forgot to mention that my PSN ID is Speedster502 (Case sensitive)! Thats is if anyone wants to add me :lol:
 
Type it on your profile, there a space for it specifically.
I already have mine too, it's under my avatar.
Luckily, 'beerzgood' was still available. Then again, who'd pick a stupid name like that to use anywhere?... :D

Yeah I have done it now, right then I will add you when I have time :) Now is the time to kick my brother off the PS3 that I bought with my money :mad: Thanks again guys!
 
When I play you online on MotorStorm sometime, watch out for stuff like my Big Rig flying over your head.
