The rain is very massive, as with most rain picture posted here though.
It looks ok, I mean after all it's an LFS edit, doesn't have to represent reallity by all means, but I think that if you aim at making a more realistic rain picture, the rain should be a lot less.
The FZ one is ok I guess, but I'm not really satisfied by the result, it's getting sort of "cliche".
The LX one, though nothing special, I think turned out better than the FZ one.
As for the poster, I have to be honest, that "hell breaks loose" phrase, wasn't the product of my imagination. I was looking for some inspiration across some flyers, and saw it on some drag race flyer. I really liked it, so I decided to use it.
I fixed the less blurred area around the wheels more or less on the fz picture.
Vain - Discs don't only glow while braking, when they get really hot, it usually lasts a moment or 2 till they stop glowing. I didn't experiment with adding dirt to cars yet, will try that in the future, good point though.
Got the idea from your some edit, which had two FZ50s on it with same kind of helicopter view. Couldn't find that edit from this thread anymore though.
I think that that my first edit would actually work better with colours. Now it really doesn't look like it was and old picture. E.g. the car is too shiny (should have turned off Reflection Mod) and pic is too clear.
just added sepia colours, now it at least looks a little bit older.
But something wrong with the Bembo and Alpine and the other text on it... Looks total different yellow like that. Like the FZ sign in the back is top notch done, so is the entire pic, just those 3 logo's look bit strange to me.
Anyway, Orion's FZR + woman are off, just got a new desktop
