This Month's Theme

If you're an eager follower and not yet participant of the livery editor competitions here on GTPlanet, this month's theme should make it easier for you to join in. The theme is set by @huff, and unlike the restrictions the themes usually set, this one has almost no restrictions at all, which should make it a less daunting experience for the new, and certainly not a difficult one for the veterans.
Let's hear what @huff has to say:

"I have a theme that a lot more people may enter because it has almost no rules. I propose any livery, real or fantasy but it must be a car of German make."


Please read the rules below to make sure you don't miss anything when you post your entry, as ignoring them can get you disqualified.

CARS:
  • Any German make
BODY PARTS / WIDEBODY:
  • Allowed, no restrictions
LIVERIES:
  • Original or replica, no restrictions
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS:
  • None
BONUS PICTURE SETTINGS:
  • Any, no restrictions
USER MADE DECALS:
  • Allowed


GENERAL COMPETITION RULES

ENTRY SUBMISSION

  • The only way you can take part is to be a member of the GTPlanet forums. If you haven't created your account yet, click here.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
  • Unsure how to? Copy and paste the following: [COLOR=red][B]FINAL ENTRY[/B][/COLOR]
  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
  • You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
  • Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
  • Absolutely no entries which utilise edited/hacked file saves.
  • Winner gets to choose the following month’s theme.
  • The organisers may ask for the original image/livery and it must be submitted if so.
  • It's recommended to share the original livery online (in-game) to prove it’s your work.

ENTRY PRESENTATION
  • All images shall have preview images which may not exceed 640 pixels in either direction (main and bonus pictures).
  • You have to post two main pictures of your entry using the mandatory location and settings as shown in the spoiler below.
  • You are allowed to post two bonus pictures in a spoiler ([SPOILER]...[/SPOILER]) with free location and settings (unless the unique restrictions of the week’s theme specify something else).
  • You have to make one post with ONLY the set allowed number of pictures and the FINAL ENTRY (see above) mark. If you want to add precisions/background story/links, you are allowed to double-post under your entry, but please put all additional images in a spoiler. The best way to do it will be to "reply" to your own post.
  • It is recommended you host your image either here on GTPlanet (via the Media section), or on Flickr.
  • Not sure how to submit your image? Here's a guide for both methods mentioned above.
  • Still not sure how to? See below for other methods.
  • Do not attach your phots directly to your entry post.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it; it makes poll creation much easier!
  • No post-game editing of any entry image is allowed.
  • Optional: Mark your entry with which platform you're on and which mode you're using, whether it’s taken on PS4 Base, PS4 Pro, PS5 Raytracing, PS5 Framerate or PS5 Pro.


MANDATORY PICTURES
  • While you can choose one or both scapes for your entry, you have to post a front and a rear quarter view of your car:
Mandatory Scape: Pit Lane / Oita - Japan or Aomori Museum of Art / Aomori - Japan
  • Focal Length: 60 - 85mm
  • Aperture: f5.6 - f16
  • Shutter Speed: 1/60 Second
  • Exposure Correction: +0.0 to +1.0 (screen dependent)
NOTE: if you have previously entered, just go to Scapes > My Library > click your previous entry > Open Scapes > change car to the new entry, refocus and snap a new photo. No need to reposition the camera/car unless its proportions are wildly different.

  • Do not use any Filters or Effects at all and only the camera setting above within the allowed limits; the pictures are supposed to be as equal as possible for all entries and not give anyone who is a bit more savvy with the Scapes Camera an advantage! Try to stay as close as possible to how the video shows the shot to be taken!

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow the rules may result in disqualification.
If you have questions, don't hesitate to start a conversation with me, Matski or any other participant you feel comfortable reaching out to.

PLEASE NOTE: Repeat offenders will be disqualified. If your entry doesn’t match the rules you will be made aware of it at least once, so please keep an eye out for any notifications reaching your profile.

It can be a livery or a style or anything. I was hoping it would bring out new people but also let people bring their wild liveries that never fit a theme. Also my iPad is broken so this gives me some entry choices from my library.
 
I have a few entries in mind myself :D also, I need to refresh my mind on the new rules etc. since some things clearly has changed in my absence! Did the rules change so the winner/"theme maker" can entry their theme now, or what?

Correct, we usually pick the theme from a randomized, but sometimes the options are restrictive. Since it all in fun we decided a while ago to let the theme maker join in.

Makes sense. The LEC has evolved so much, I love it. :D
 
Actually, just going through my started-but-never-finished wips, it's 50:50 as to whether it'd be the almighty BMW VGT, or, a Porsche... weird.
:D gotta love your creations. I still haven’t finished my art car from that LEC round, how long has it been? :lol: pretty sure I only managed to make the hood decal, not the rest. iirc it was a Romero Britto homage, but I totally forgot for what car!
 
Affalterbach Express

Best part of the Autobahn is for sure the freedom to go at certain pieces of the network with unrestricted speed limit. This entry is some kind of a fictive World Record Attempt car, nicknamed the "Affalterbach Express" used between Hamburg and Munich.

Yeah because we do random draws for the winner if they don't want to make their own theme, but instead pick between a selection of three,
the winner can enter their own themes.
