Hey, cheers, just got back from pub, left this rendering...increased the 'hardness' of Phong highlights:

Opposite problem with the bricks tho...I have an image of a whole brick wall but I need to be able to scale it down so it looks like a wall behind the car

Just slowly building my first scene in Blender, had the problems with bright spots that someone else had (see first pic) changed shader on skin from 'Wardlso' to 'Phong' (bottom pic) and it looks much nicer IMO.

However, does anyone knoe how to scale textures on an object? That background is a cube with a brick wall textue on it, at the moment each brick is 12 foot long! Tried everything I can see that may change it, help please!!

I know everything else still needs work too, still experimenting...

For some reason, I couldn´t get photoshop to do what I wanted it to. No matter what I tried, the stripes kept getting blurry.

Thankyou very much anyways

No worries. If you drew them with rectangular select, did you have any 'feather' on it? That's kind of what it looks like to me.

That was quick! Thanks a lot for that, it just glares out when you have a blank plate on the render.

Thanks again.

Bit of a random question; does anyone know the dimensions/proportions of the texture for the number plate on these models? It annoys me blank but I don't want it to render squished.

Cheers.

Noone wants to render mine?

Quick one done in the Ready-to-Render kit while you wait for something fancy...

Only did it 1000px wide, your stripes are blurred on the skin-file, dunno if that's intentional.

Where can I find that helmet template? (with the visor etc.)

Quote from Taavi(EST) :

Can use any car you would like to see in LFS

Something a bit different, still a WIP, I want to tweak the dds more and figure how to get decent backgrounds (this background is Photoshopped, well...Gimped...in) Then, one day, maybe some DoF



EDIT: Just a note, only used 1024 skins so quality isn't amazing either!

Yeah, awkward when they're at such an angle.

Aw Mai Gawd, your avatar is WIN!

Thats my helmet and race 'suit'

The last ever sunset maybe?!

Between Gav and Brandon for me some of the others look more like 'war of the worlds' than a sunset!

Went for Gav, shame about the motion blur on the distant buildings and stationary wheels but the colours and contrast are pretty and that's what matters

"Sry mouse fail, pizza crumbs"

And yes that was me

Quote from Sueycide_FD :

All the others are geared towards F&F unrealism regarding stoplight drag races. Most cars participating in them are hardly lookers.

Yeah, I was wondering how you'd get a police helicopter to a race that tends to last under a minute lol

Should do! Most thing's will fit, South City is the obvious choice I guess (it has traffic lights lol) but any of the tracks would do, 2 cars, impromptu drag...good one this week.

Thing is, I love my 'American Graffiti' 'Two Lane Blacktop' etc etc

Quote from Bose321 :

That's more like it!

Cheers man (I think you were responding to me?:shy

About 30mins work and only 4 layers, but got no concentration atm, covering for manager through day and moving house in the eve

I will try and actually finish this one though (first time ever lol)

Like last time; just a test, dunno if I'll have time to fix the probs as in the middle of moving house (such as headlights on road and traffic lights/headlights affecting background when they shouldn't)

Ooh, just like me Dad used to do in his Cortina
...another excuse to use road-car skins!

Cheers for putting mine in! Had no time to finish it unfortunately Crazy-busy at the moment.

EDIT: And thanks for the votes! Didn't expect any without a preview.

Looks good, could do with a second car IMO(even just lights coming round the bend in the background or something) but looks nice anyway.

lmao man, chill, not a personal afront or owt lol, It's never gonna look like that F+F Toyota 'thing' with reflections this high, tbh I'd love some kind of 'shiny' control a la Trackmania, as my favourite finish is in 'Two Lane Blacktop'

Meh, the voting thread will be clean

I dunno, the Mexico was like Ford saying "yeah, we know you have a sh*tty job and no life but, here, have a rally car to play with..."
I think that's why I love them, and other decals weren't included, so I like to keep it pure.

Maybe if I used a fictitious sponsor or at least a more 'slutty' one I'd add more sponsors...

EDIT: A brighter colour?! Than Orange?! I suppose I could come round setting light to people's houses...

Quote from logitekg25 :

im not a ricer, and i dont think it will make it look gay at all, i think it will add to the picture a little bit (geez, i dont see the big deal )

I think the thing is it's not a skinning + action + Edit comp, I could produce some kick-ass results if it was!
But it would have to be too specific ie, an XRG@Blackwood with drift skin or RB4@Blackwood with Group B style skin...etc etc, I think the comp works because it's as loose as it is.

I dunno, I'm funked atm tbh
