Thanks mates! High res:

Love it.

Obviously it is obvious, within the obvious. It is a truism.

I like the pun.

Quote from DevilDare :

Headlights look terrible IMO. Everything esle is nice though.

Hehehehe.

Thank you.

A reference for the lights:

Quote from brandons48 :

I agree with DevilDare, it's all nice apart from the lights which look a little bit odd.

But then again, I don't know what your reference for the lights was. But for me, they look unrealistic.

Did you try for an "angel eyes" effect or an LED effect?

Edit: Also, if you look at the rain on the ground to the left of the car the edges look really sharp and unnatural. But the illusion of wet tarmac is definately there!

Not seen anything of the outbreak. Most light comes from outside. The ambient light.

So, there are no details. Only the lights On.

Another reference:

There is not rain on the pic. I think you are talking about the wet effect on the left of the pic (right from the car). From scratch, using only brushes, for me is harder to make it realistic. I'm glad for the comments anyway.

Thank you.

Quote from JJ72 :

Hey I DO watch the thread!!!

Give me 24 hours and I shall deliever a pic with no external image used, but I first have to redownload LFS.

I acknowledge that I am ambitious. I knew that with the image I had done, was not going to win. So I decided to improve it, to put it more difficult.

As always, I do not use external pics.

For me, one of the best skinners. A symbol of good taste.

Interesting...

If you participate more, I will go to participate more. Even if tazka participates.

We can improve a lot. Until more than today. We are ambitious and competitives ,hehehehe.
If were participate in a competition can be improved to levels never seen before, probably.

Cheers, brother.

"Anyway, I have the same opinion. The technique of "cut and paste" is not very artistic. Is poor in development because it is limited. Only works on the point you want to replace and nothing else".


Now I see I'm wrong. My most sincere apologizes.

Amazing as usual.

Cheers.

Quote from 5tag :

I find it sad how short minded people are... as if Lynce's and skiper's entries were equal somehow.


Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of his fanboys and I don't like half of what Lynce does but that is a matter of taste. Fact is that it's always high quality and that he's putting very much effort into his work. Thus if anything he does with LFS would be a competition he should win many of them in my opinion because I don't like half his work but taste is not fair.

It almost hurts me when for a screenshot editing competition a five minute copy&paste job is being favorised and cheered on. It's neither neat nor inventive. On top of it the focus is not on the FZ50.

Somehow I am sorry but I had to say this.

I like a lot your comment.

You remind me to Devildare. I love his comments. I disagree with him many times but I am very interested. In fact, his comments seem to me essential to whatever I do. In addition he is sincere, like you. It is interesting to hear/read all points of view and comments as yours.

Anyway, I have the same opinion. The technique of "cut and paste" is not very artistic. Is poor in development because it is limited. Only works on the point you want to replace and nothing else. Personally I don't like to make it. But that is my opinion. (I made that type of pics in some time). That helps to increase the realism of the photo in this concrete case (Car from lfs shot above the real photo).

I do not mean that a person, for making such pictures, is a bad photoshop artist. I think Spyker, although limited in some aspects (motion blured, radial blur of the wheels on oblique angles), is very good at what he does. I love the blur effect of heat from his photos.

For me, the picture is good, but the suspension left is slightly up on the suspension right. The car is leaning to the right side. Or at least, it seems when you see the front grill. If he uploads the real pic, for me is valid.

@Tazka. If you participate, you kill everybody. Even JJ72.

Thanks for the comments respect to my entry.

Quote from skiper :

good very good. Especially rain drops
Where is the shadow from the car? There is a light spot to the right from the back wheel, the source of it isn't quite clear, it's wrong, there should be a shadow instead.

Wrong.

There is a shadow under the car. On cloudy days, the light source comes in all directions. Especially if the asphalt is wet, the lighting, changes completely. The light is poor and the contrast is lacking. Only contrast in the bodywork because it is under a bridge and because the car is metallic.
On the rear wheel, I agree with you. I forgot.

Thanks, but next time, make a better documentation (about the shadow under the car).

The criticisms are welcome, as always.

Thank you and good luck.

Quote from brandons48 :

Very noble of you Lynce, to take so much of your own time for LFS, for no reward of money, but instead for your own enjoyment, and the enjoyment of others.
The world needs more people like you.

I'm glad by your words, my friend.

But seriously... I really think, this is nothing special.



I was thinking to reveal one of my fonts. Top Gear. There are the lighting conditions in real life and in real time ( I can see the car in a lot of angles and in the diferent hours of the day). Not every chapters is in the same conditions and places and that is nice too.

In the current pic the real photos represents the minute 5:29 and 6:04 the documentation to make this reflection. Of course, I learned a lot in these months in another fonts about light conditions and when I go to my job, for example, I see in the street the reflections of the cars. All posible fonts.

Font from Top Gear(Remember, 5:29 and 6:04 to see the photos):

Top Gear

Even glow effects without "Bloom lightning Addon".

I know that I put " No more previews". I'm sorry but I was thinking this information can be interesting for all.

Quote from MariusMM :

Erm, again, no porn Lynce!!!

That is truly amazing.

Yeah, that is the point, again. Hehehehehe.

Quote from Drift King CZ :

Mmm, Lynce, I'm not sure if you can fix this, but there's a bit trouble with FZR, because there's reflection on the panel where you can see RPMs, gear and speed and in various tracks in various moments you can't see anything. Is it possible to fix this part somehow or not?

For Drift King CZ._

Thanks again for your comment.

Making general tests to compare the brightness in all dds files(reflections) I remember your suggestion and I saw the panel in all illuminations and tracks.

Does not posible decrease the brightness in all cases but there are a perfect balance. I mean that trouble has been solved in 75% of cases. So, you can see the diference in the current RP.

Most dificult is in Sunset illuminations. I can't make anything.

Seriously, sorry by my poor english.

Quote from Mysho :

Nothing really I can be critic about, you've got very high standards and you're showing it every video.

+1, same here.

BigTime. For me, your best video.

Amazing as usual.

Never have I seen such a Photomode competition level. My sincere congratulations to all. I do not know which to vote. I abstain.

I love them all.

Quote from Tazka :

I personally prefer to use small sized brush 1-5px create roundly shaped forms around the places where i want the smoke to be, then smudge the lines out with smudge tool. I repeat this on several layers and use different colors to create depth in to it.

Some of my old edits, just an example it's not realistic smoke but i kinda like it.

Totally agree with you. That is the way.

Astonishing pic, brother. I miss your pics as I said you.

This is another example:

Quote from Bose321 :

Can't wait. Looks great so far.

Thank you, as always, brother.

Quote from brandons48 :

I think we need to pool some money together and buy Lynce a special LFS trophy or something.

I'm serious! I don't want you to have put all this time into this addon pack and not have any reward for it.
I think it needs to atleast be included as an option in the next patch (if its ever released, of course)... If it's not, then.. it's the trophy. Or atleast a box of chocolates.. and flowers or something like that :3

I have a trophy. Year End Awards LFS. Well, actually, thank you all, I've had three trophies.

Although respect for people and my friends from lfsforum.net, it's a good trophy. I do not need more. You can see my friend-list,hehehehehe.

Ah! and this is a hobby. A hobby that many people can enjoy. That makes me happy, too.

For me is enough.

i want that background, but i dont want the words and idk what else to put in that space xD

Enjoy it! Thanks.

Westhill Landscape finished. Applied some ilumination effects to help the degradation of the colour with the distance. When the mountain is far decrease the contrast and tone. Same if is higher.

I'm not sure but I think is posible to finish the current RP in June.

Quote from JO53PHS :

After noticing the great amount of 'dump an LFS car in a real picture' type edits (I have no criticism of them - when done well they look really good), I wanted to open a discussion about this:



Since I started running photomode, use of others' material (e.g. from Google images) has been allowed, so long as you do not submit someone else's LFS edit and claim it as your own. I've never made it categorically clear what exactly the above rule means, and have perhaps not enforced this rule as it was intended.

LYNCE: What was intended by this rule?

But I'm wondering where I should draw the line at with regard to this rule. Where does your own work stop and others' work begin? Can you use other people's photographs to make up part of your picture?

Some great edits have been produced by including real life in LFS, or LFS in real life, so I would be reluctant to close that door. Of course, not many people will have the time, opportunity or availability of resources to take their own photographs to include in their edits (although I did one round ).

Discuss

I'm not going to change any rules for at least a few rounds, and all current edits posted in the competition thread are still 100% allowed. I just wanted some opinions on the matter, because it's always been something that i've considered but never really talked about.

Dear JO53PHS,

The intention is "not stealing" the work of other lfs users. For example, pics from another date, any part of another photo from one lfs user. But the point is not use works from another lfs users. I think people can do original works.

Anyway you can change the rules.

All for improve.


And, I think, people can use parts from real photos. Obviously, is my opinion.

Cheers.

P.D: Interesting thread.

Though i don't understand a word of the spanish stuff :P
something with "much potential"

Hahahahahahaha!! Sorry!!


Just I was working on Westhill landscapes and posting here,hahahahahaha!!

I can't make two things in the same time.

I mean: You got a lot of potential and I'm sure, next time, for your next video , you're going to surprise us all.

Parece un resumen de verdad!

Estoy convencido que puedes hacerlo mejor. Me ha encantado, de verdad.

Las críticas pueden ayudarte.

English:

It looks like a really short!

I believe you can do better things. I loved it, really.

And follow the criticisms, sure they can help you.

I hope to see you more often boring. Impressive.

I like your idea to start and finish the video in pits. Original.

Tienes mucho potencial para hacer videos. Estoy seguro que el siguiente video que hagas va a sorprender a todos.

I love the start.
