I'm sorry to hear about your computer -caught a virus somewhere?

It's a really, really, weird problem. Trouble is, I don't know if it is a virus or something else. Everytime I log on to the internet, I get a message from Norton saying that it has detected a two viruses, one that goes by the name of winboot32...? Something. I can't really remember. Another one is a Trojan Horse, and both of the files can't be fixed. Then I get an auto system restart message with a one minute countdown ("shutdown initiated by NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM") and wham, that's it. This only happens when I connect to the internet.

I reformated my system twice and installed Win XP, yet it still happens. I seriously don't know what the hell is wrong with it, and I'm very, very, very mad (considering I don't have my PS2 as well) . I'm thinking the system is fine, but the problem lies with the modem itself.

Somehow my PC is okay for now, managed to use it for 1 hour before the message came up so I'm typing this in a hurry...

duke : That picture will do fine. 👍 I will try m,y best once I get things running fine again, hope you don't mind the long wait. Sorry again!

donbenni : Very well done mate!

I suck at these. i don't know how to color them.

It's a really, really, weird problem. Trouble is, I don't know if it is a virus or something else.

Drop a PM to Giles Guthrie. He's a bit busy perhaps (at any rate he's been a little scarce) but he's very knowledgeable with various Windows issues. Sorry to hear about the trouble.

I'm just grateful you'll have a go at it. Take your time and do it at your convenience. Maybe I'll try my hand as well, and you can show me where I'm off. Thaks again!

This is stupid, but how do you do good vectored cars?

 

[donbenni]

There's only 73 pages, read through and you'll find the answer

OR, check out my Photoshop tutorial which is linked in my sig.

 

[donbenni]

Just finished an AE86. I quite like it, pretty detailed, but simplistically cool, but still not the best i've done. Any thoughts?

 

[under18carbon]

That is wicked!
Gotta love the lights man. I have one small complaint though... why isn't there a door handle on the car?

Beautifully done still. 👍!

 

[TRi]

not a car but a realistic vector
vector on top, actual on bottom

btw that rolla looks awesome don, especially the lights

donbenni - Love the lights, and the whole thing really. Even though I don't particularly like the subject.

suzq - Loving the style of this one.

Progress shot for neon_duke's TSX :

And a little something for Slash lovers.

 

[skip0110]

under18carbon - is there a specific technique to vary line thickness as you do?

 

[under18carbon]

I'm not sure what you mean, if you're referring to the Slash vector, then yes, there is a certain, um, 'technique' for doing it. It's not that tough really, I could tell you how if you want to. (Keep in mind I suck at explaining)

I use really thin strokes (thinnest in Illustrator is 0.25pt in line weight) and it also depends on how big your reference picture is. If it's really big, say, 1024x768, then maybe you could even use a line with only 1pt weight, but because you are going to fill in black in the end, so it doesn't really matter. I'm sure there are other ways of achieving (sp) this, but I don't know any other ways.. this is more or less how I do to get varying line thickness :



When you fill it black in colour;



And (just for the heck of it) -



For those of you who are wondering, no, I don't work for Rockstar Games.



Hope this helps, if you have any questions don't hesitate to drop me a PM, I'll try my best to answer.

 

[skip0110]

Thank you very much 👍 I'm going to try this on my next vector.

And the final vector looks very nice.

 

[donbenni]

Just modded the 86 for fun. Took a while to do the front bumper. It was based on UEO's Trueno.

 

[donbenni]

Damn Shant, two real nice vectors going there!

Looking forward to seeing Duke's finished TSX 👍

 

[ALPHA]

It's all done.

 

[donbenni]

Damn Alpha, been waiting for this!

Looks fricking awesome 👍 Although (and i hate to say this as it does look really cool), the gradient body shading looks slightly wrong, mainly on the bonnet. Aside from that though, it rocks

 

[sUn]

Very good, ALPHA. Although, the wheels look flat, I can't come within 2% of that.

 

[wee-homer]

after a quick look though a few pages on this thread thought a will give this a go so thanks to donbenni's tutorial 👍

first go so didnt expect much but not 2 bad

👍 loving the c8 alfa amazing

 

[donbenni]

Nice effort wee_homer 👍 Like what you did with the Cossy. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future

Made a few adjustments to the Trueno:

Well I thought I would colour it in for you just for something to do. It sucks but.

Why the hell was this thread renamed to "Tooned Cars?"
How stupid.

 

[donbenni]

Because Gianni, the term Vector brings back memories of crap mathematics lessons at school and it's not actually what half the people do. So instead i changed the thread to represent the type of art that goes on here, creating toon cars (mainly). And no i won't change it back

 

[donbenni]

I bet you're just upset because you spent hours looking for the Vector Cars thread

 

[Brandono]

Had to "illustrate" something for a class and chose this. I used some gradient meshs and blends on some parts. Obviously its still in progress so theirs gonna be some errors here and there.

Preview

*edit*
Not actual size.

 

[skip0110]

The angle of both the tailpipe and the license plate look like ****.

Not that I could do better.

My current project.


EDIT: Wow, saving a .jpg puts a lot of distortion into the colors.

 

[Initial Racing]

Thats RP Speed's problem, not mine.
