Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Can I ask how did you do this smoke? I've searched for tutorials but haven't found any useable

There aren't many tutorials but here's what I usually do.

First, pick a normal circular brush with 0 hardness, size 200, and of opacity 15%. Start by brighten the area you want to apply your smoke. Don't lighten it too much tough.

Once you are done, create a new layer. And set your brush to 25% hardness, size 100, and opacity of 35%. Start by giving it some smoke brush by brush. There's a technique to give your smoke a 3D feel. Click and hold and make an initial shape for the "cloud". Once you are satisfied, brush it over (but over a smaller area). So on and so forth.

You then continue to give greater detail to the smoke by lower the size of the brush and increasing the opacity ( max recommended is 80% with a brush of size 30 for a 1600 X 1200 resolution screen)

There are no definite way to do it. I have a few techniques, it really depends on the screen shot, the angle, and my mood

lol.

Nice!

Time for another announcement. The time was going by for the past few months. We were pretty unactive due to life and mostly school for me. I've had a few plans in mind and trust me, you lads won't be disappointed.

I'm ambitious but usually rubbish... but what I plan on doing is to finally meet a few teammates and have a nice day outside of LFS world. I planned to be meeting up in New York City. Date is set vaguely to the end of June. Just gotta sort out a deal on an E46

Second. Since the drifter's home LFS Torque have had some virtual misfortunes for the past few months, there were a lack of serious events. Plans are already in motion to organize an event some time next month. Rules, regulations, and restrictions are still in works. Look forward for an invititation for the top dogs and the usual first come first serve registration to fill in the full 32 driver grid. The location will be set somewhere in no place other then South City. I shall expect some precisely executed lines. That's all I'm going to leak for now.

See you all next month.

ah haha, I totally forgot about the goblin joke. .

There were only 200 N1's made. They were all in white and most of them were sold to race teams for Group A and such. I know for a fact that #198 is in Canada and it's owned by a local shop in Toronto.

N1 headlights are commonly used to call the late model head lamp designs. anyways, it's not a GTR forum here.

Wow! Time goes by so fast. Many more are coming
geez it's been a while! Gotta love what it was back then XD

Quote from Qvarnis :

Didn`t know that there was an N1 version of the GTS-T.
Unless he has changed the lights... Very un-probable

N1 headlights are very common on GTS-t's. Obviously, there arený any N1 GTS-t... Actually Zenki R32 came with projectors, Zenki models came with the N1 looks.

20 layers.

Dedicate to Anathema, baSh0r and Spangler_CZE

Are you a graphic designer? VERY nice work ever since you came around.

nice N1 R32 headlights

That's nice when you clearly express yourself. Now that is something that is worth the respect.

I am also an engineer student and understand ( and feel) your experience right now. The classes are a pain in the ass, time and energy consumming. It can cost a lot when you start paying up from your pocket for the material needed for your projects. The tuiton fees isn't free neither. I would've have STFU only if I knew your situation.

Although monetary justification for not buying S2 is very weak. May I ask what field of engineering are you in? I'm guessing mechanical engineering.

Quote from pizza_delivery :

Whether I buy S2 or not. I can choose to do what the **** ever I want. Unless you have developed your own sim, which I highly doubt your 3 cell capacity brain can accomplish, called "**** me up the ass For Speed", then by all means, go out to the public and bitch at everyone who doesn't buy your product.

But for now, you have no part in the creation of LFS, so why the hell do you think you have the right to tell someone's a cheap bastard for not buying their product?

Do yourself a favor. Drill some holes into your thick head and inhale some common sense.

I could care less about those low blows.

1. You completely missed the point of the demonstration version of a game. It is for you to try and incite you to buy. It's a shame the devs still haven't put a timed limit.

2. You want this personal? Ok. I've probably accomplished more up to now that you will ever accomplish in your lifetime. How about you go outside and inhale some freah air. Looks like you need some.

Quote from pizza_delivery :

by blipping the throttle, do you mean like heel toe?

I tried doing this to avoid lockup on the wheels upon braking, but i can't blip the throttle at all.

keeping in mind that I am using mouse.

What a shame. You've been around since 2003 and you still haven't paid those mere 48$ CDN. You must either be dead cheap or retarded.

I really hope he is alright. A normal echosound should give a rough idea if he has internal bleeding or not, no? I'm no doctor but really hope he's alright.

Try that again after you get S2. bye.

on CTRA Race 1, I start dead last and after the whole T1 drama, manage to be holding a decent 7th place for about 10 laps until you start lapping people with worn out tires. Some people are impolite and gets you a nudge just enough to send you sideways straight into a barrier.

I love that FZ5 skin.

nice blur on the rims, mind giving us a small tutorial how to do it?

it's the IGP SL exhibition round's layout.

fail. Should've seen the shots from a 23 men drift train a few weeks ago. Madness on T1

Maybe we will. *wink wink*

am I the only one using chase cam?

I can already imagine the devs laughing their ass off.
