But here is my edited screenshot

Just a quickie, not 100% happy with it, just wanted something to practice with Gimp on

Quote from Shadowww :

Please, share your helmet

Nah I've been using it for years now! Really wasn't that hard to skin though...

I spent a very serious 10 minutes creating this

Ooh, didn't realise I was entered! Crazy week last week so didn't have time for a final version Thanks all that have voted though, hopefully have more time for the next comp!

Quote from batteryy :

you know, you can download fonts in it

Yeah thanks, I'm just being lazy really, my old PC is set up all nice with Photoshop etc, trying to force myself to learn Gimp on this one but the temptation is always there

I know it's been said countless times on here but this is a fantastic resource so thank you for giving all your time and knowledge!

Render number 1, I plumped straight for V2, unfortunately I only have 1024 skins on this PC gonna transfer some 2048s tomorow and have some real fun with this!

Note to self: I should probably un-bling the wheels a bit for banger renders!

EDIT: Second attempt (the skin's a WIP btw!):

EDIT 2: Third render, realised once I started it the RB4 skin is an unfinished one, the final has teazR's shadow kit and a fatter stripe on the rear flank, amongst other small tweaks.

Cheers! Bit of a nightmare in Gimp, and don't seem to have many fonts yet. I'll do a Photoshop version by Friday hopefully.

Still a WIP as I'm doing it in Gimp...may have to revert to Photoshop for the final version!

Mainly into me Rock etc but...

Going waaay back to being a kid...Norman Cook anyone (Fatboy Slim on bass for the kids :razz

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

Might want to show us a better pic of the bike?

It's nothing pretty, just a good workhorse. I don't actually like that paint finish at all!

I did this ages ago but never finished as I don't have the right font and couldn't be bothered drawing the text instead...I could finish it if you still need one?

My bike back in Feb.



Rock Lobster Team Tig SL.
Next upgrades will be Pace RC31 C-type forks and DMR V12 pedals.
...yes, I'm an old-school rigid/flats MTBer

Umm...I'm slower than sound

Actually I think it had something to do with me playing bass but I now realise it makes me sound like a chav with a 'Bangin ICE install'

Another test similar to the one on previous page.
I must get rid of that dark glass dds! Also, this monitor keeps defaulting to 'washed-out' looking on other PC this is too dark again

Voted Furiously-Fast, looks like the cover art of a road-movie, nice

Messing about last night, over cooked it a bit



And I maybe won't use a predominantly black skin next time! There is an RB4 in there, honest!

Quite often end up completely trashed banger racing (especially as I insist on using UF1 against XFG and XRG) but this was one of the more 'realistic' ones (I won btw )

Bumping the thread I know but this is one of my bangers:

The mirrors went weird going in and out taking screenies btw, it's not some weird dds

I tend to pick up me mouse and put it back in the middle

...or have some wine.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Ah just go online! Start with the easier cars (FOX, XFG, FXO - basically anything with an F and an X in it should do), pay extra attention to your mirrors and the mini-map while you're getting used to it, and just be a bit sensible when you've got cars alongside. The only way to learn to race with other people is to race with other people.

Nobody will mind if you cause the odd accident, just have a function key bound to "Sorry"

Thanks for all the advice, probably see me online soon...

That's the problem I would much rather race clean but don't trust myself to hold my line (I'm a mouser by the way...) however, racing the AI really helps with choosing lines etc but you do get battered about.

Hey, I'm a total Newb here and so far haven't yet risked racing online (I can just about hold a straight line now!) Question is; are the AI cars any comparison to racing online? as they just plough straight through me if I get anything wrong. I'm guessing from previous posts that 'real' racers aren't like this so would I be better doing most of my learning online as the AI tends to make you agressive?

Thanks
