"that"? It's a damn big work, I'm making one atm too and you have to be so precise about every part in the car..
I've worked just on the rims for 60mins now.
I'm erasing layers all the time and improving over and over again until it's perfect, that is what takes the time.
Maggot has done very very good work just in 18hours. It will take much more work from me to do something like that.
I dunno, if you are more familiar with it it shouldn't take more than 5 hours judging from what I see. Not like you are doing photorealistic perspective drawing.
Wow! really impressing! Thats not gonna happen from me
Looks amazingly realistic, really nice work. Ive done couple of virtual moddings, and those took like days and days to do. And all parts not even maded myself. And you made this hole thing to yourself, nice! Like to see more of this
The pen tool in photoshop can work in three ways - raster shapes (you draw a perimeter path and it creates a shape filling that perimeter), vector shapes (vector path. Sam eas the raster shapes except it remains editable like a vector) and vector path which is just the path, from which you can then create selections, stroke the path etc. I'd imagine GIMP's tool would probably work like the second method, but I can't say for sure as I've never used it. I've stuck with Photoshop for years now.
Ah crap I forgot about that one. The original design was by Quicksilver for the MOE logo competition last year. He gave me permission to borrow the logo to use, so I re-drew the logo in vector (or high res? I don't recall now). Totally forgot that one was on the car, I've gotten so used to using it on skins I forgot it wasn't actually mine
I bet JJ could, actually. I've seen some of his 'quick' edited screenshots. He's immensely talented, much more so than I.
Finished.. not even close to yours but manages. Around 10hours of working, just in boring days/nights.
I might continue this project further.. not now though
thats really nice maggot, also pretty nice u too tomba but i think it needs still to be worked on tough.
also, you ppl got me inspired too, altrought im making the car kinda over the original picture, everything is made from scratch in it(exept the cf texture) so i quess im a bit like cheating in it anyway i might post some pics soon
edit:now, this is how far ive gotten. dont mind if thats a little low res on pics, its only on 50% of the zoom. this takes alot of time, ive done 4-10 hours on this. havent counted but used alot. continuing it this weekend. the other pic includes the rest of the parts i need to do. car is ktm x-bow btw
u mean my pic?, if so yes they are drawn in ps. as i told u, ive drew everything from scratch exept the cf texture that ive gotten from master skinnerz
original pic if you want to compare, http://www.expertmotor.com/ima ... ROC-X-Bow-Superlight1.jpg . i think you can see the difference
ehm...i said this is how far ive gone if i remember right, that was what i was kinda saying about the first picture. the second picture included the things i still needed to make
The way I posted those may have been confusing... but that is official studio photo (or render?) of the Acura and the other one is an illustration released by Aston Martin Racing
Both are photoshop (or similar) drawings. The Acura just had more time put into it. That Acura one was my base (most of mine was traced from, as well as a lot of the value information) and some other details from the Aston.
