Good one, skiper!

Some rallycross action. Replay provided by FireMike editing by me.

Why's the rear wheel not spinning? Also, you forgot the rain drops bouncing off the car and flying from the tires. But a nice edit otherwise. I really dig the red rain drops.

I was expecting to see other guys' skins too.. Not that I'm complaining though! But anyways, I liked the video very much. Laid back music, beautiful slo-mo scenes. And a break from the usual drift vids I see here..

Btw, any chance of getting the replay file with the rb4 and xrg? I'd like to make some edited screenshots.

Now why would you need that? You can't drive the car..

In these two latest edits of yours the car seems to be floating. I think the problem is with the shadow under the car.

Wait.. What? I just agreed with 5tag, I mean, your skin is just three colors, you could have at least made the lines straight. Practise, practise, preactise.. I'm sure you'll improve.

Well... It kinda is.

Thanks for the crits. I agree, the car is way too clean, I'll try to work on it a bit. The lighting I kinda disagree: the car's front is lit up. You're probably right about the reflections thou. I had some water texture on the ground, but I thought it needed a motion blur like the ground, and after that it just lightened the track. It's still there, anyway. Plus there's a ripple effect on the car's reflection.

Again, thanks for the honest crits. I know my edits have flaws, it's good that someone points them out.

Thanks Mike and jrd.racer! Yeah, rainbows make everything nicer

Yup, great theme this week! I guess I'll have to stop working on this at some point, so here's mine:

Oh yes, it's ready! Great job on this.

No, I think he means models that can be imported straight to photoshop. I recall seeing them at the design dudes' page, but they seem to down..

Quote from HalleMarques :

Sorry for the double post, and sorry again for digging this up. And one more sorry for posting on wrong topic (I won't create another one in WIP, that's better this way...), but, I had to post this... I'm not any Kiste or any of the L4P guys, but I do my best... I swear...

From what I can see, that's a nice skin. The colours are a bit weird for a Ferrari livery, and it might be a little plain, but the work is quality.

Brilliant! A new take on an already great livery.

Got to agree with FireMike, that looks great!

Nice one macsy

Quote from FireMike15 :

Waah very cool one duke. It would be cool if I had a new wallpaper, is 1920x1080 possible?

Thanks guys! Sorry, higher res won't be available, my monitor is 1280x1024 tops.

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

Rainy days are boring.

Ain't that true. But anyways, not as awesome pic as the last one, the cutting seems a bit crude at some places. Otherwise clean work.

Wheee! Sleepy eye.

All the logos and other skin stuff seem hi-res to me. Just the black mask, shadows and signatures are low-res. It certainly isn't just 1024 to 4096..

Super!

Thanks. I shared the dirt layer with the guys at L4P, and don't think I'll publish it for the general audience. But it's really not that hard making a dirt layer, after all, even I could do it! Anyway, good luck with your future skins, the jack skin was pretty cool!

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment and promotion, but please remove the links. They go directly to the skin, which doesn't improve the download count. Also, I think shaun saw my skin, but it isn't exactly same as Clarkson's.

No vob mods allowed, double posting isn't cool either.

Quote from BOSCHO :

is mine edit too bad

Well, I don't see a whole lot of editing. Personally, I would write FZ50 instead of just FZ5. The cracks on the tarmac seem to be on a different angle than the road itself: try squeezing the cracks vertically. Also, the car could stand out a little more, some blurring or color tricks might work. Best would be if the car was not in the shadow

My :twocents:

Quote from skiper :

For local elite thinking that I can't work with pure LFS screenshots.

Special for 5tag: excuse my lame job, that could possibly look like an insult for you

I don't know where you were going with that heat ripple(?) effect, but it would be more appropriate if it wasn't raining. But nice pic anyway.

I think the lights look wrong because they don't point straight ahead, but are angled upwards (problem with FZ5 model itself: lights are just a texture). If the shot was taken from straight ahead, the lights would look ok. Hope you catch my drift..
