[.ringer.]

[Dr. Bullet]

I'll take that as a yes:D

[.ringer.]

i just tried that, and its really hard...

[Dr. Bullet]

I want to try to get this straight...we must take and outline it, and the point is to have a wireframe, then give it a paintjob?

[Hellfighter]

i don't use Photoshop at all these days. i'll have to pass on it.
tutorial is base on it.

[Rider]

i dont get the shift-click thing...

its retarded...maybe cuz mine is 7.0 not cs?

i've been just using the polygonal lasoo, and then 1px stroking it

[.enfo.]

thats what i tried, when i was outlining the car, its like, grr lol and press shift and a straight line goes up in teh air and ruins the whole thing lol

[katana*GFR*]

Someone willing to tell me how i can make the lines in Photoshop?

I like to give it a real try, i looked at the tut. but i dont even know what hes talking about cuz im not into gfx....

[Rider]

if u hold shift and click the brush and then put the brush in another spot and click the brush again it will make a line from the first point to the second, really not that hard and yes it works in ps7 cuz thats what i use..........ps if u stroke it its not gonna look the same, actually draw it with a 1px brush ;)

[Steve]

yeah it should be straight forward with the pencil tool. you would get a slight problem using shift-click with the lasoo tools however.

hopefull i will get time to have a go

[katana*GFR*]

ok heres my try with PSP:

Let Rider join in the leet comp.....


Well anywayz atleast im still at 2nd place, cuz Rider and i did what Stevie asked. :D

[Hexadecimal]

Okay, just finished my entry, however I just noticed this rule:
"any car is ok (no other vehicles)"

So, I don't know if you guys want to count my entry or not, I would make another one, but it takes waaaay too long.

Mine:

[.ringer.]

wow, very good

[Rider]

nice but by the detail of your lines I can tell you didnt actually draw it and since u didnt u shouldve at least put in the detail around the springs around the axle, wouldve shown a lil more detail

[Hexadecimal]

What do you mean I didn't draw it? I drew 100% of it, and I even have the psd files to prove it. I just used the pencil tool, held shift, and traced away!

It took about 2 hours of work, and by the time I got to the suspention I was so sick of tracing, that I decided not to add as much detail to that area. ;)

Below is a link to a zip file that contains all of the psd files used in creation.

[Rider]

oh sorry man my mistake that must be y u picked a hummer cuz its square and u can use the shift key alot in this vehicle lol, I see how u did it now in your psd............thx for giving it to us but u really didnt have to I wasnt assuming that u cheated or anything i was just simply stating how it looked like u took the easy way out :p but good job on the shift key work! :gj:

[Hexadecimal]

Thanks m8, glad its all cool. ;)

[katana*GFR*]

its ok

[Steve]

its not that hard!
30 mins =

http://www.stevieb.novahq.net/box/img/STEVO_FIN.gif

ok not great but anything taking less than 30 mins ain't worth producing anyway.

[.ringer.]

nice one stevie

[Rider]

well i guess not since u didnt give it no windsheild wipers or the scoop on the top or nothing lol shouldve at least did something diff. with the rims, I tried to replicate the entire car with the shadows and all lol, that might be why it was harder for me lol

[Steve]

i was just proving it's not difficult to all those quitters out there, not to those who had go. i didnt see your comment saying it was hard, yes it is hard to get a good result like you did... but i bet it took a lot longer then 30 mins? (worth it though ;) )

[katana*GFR*]

bah now im 4th..... and it took me 3 hours to get all the lines like that........

Anywayz this was fun we should have more like this.

[Dr. Bullet]

This is nuts...we do need to have it again though. I'm one of those people that spend 5 minutes fiddling with the pic, saving, coming back later when I have time, etc etc...at that rate it'll take a week:p

Maybe I'll spend a long time making a perfect car, then when this comes up again I'll win it:cool: :D

[Dr. Bullet]

It won't let me edit, or else I would, but nice entries so far. That hummer was great! It almost looked like a posterized picture (which is good...).

[Acid]

Ok, here's my entry.

Great effort to all that entered.

Good Luck to all.

pretty good bullet. :gj:

pretty good bullet. :gj:

[Dr. Bullet]

Thanks. That one looks like crap compared to what I had. I'm going to be crying about this forever:rolleyes: :D

[.ringer.]

lies...all lies...

make another one...

nothing is true until we see it...(around here n e ways)

[Skin]

man the back half on that is almost perfect

[Dr. Bullet]

Yup. I had saved the back half. It took me about 4 hours, and all that time I was tweaking gradients and lighting. I didn't have those nasty thick lines, and it was even on a transparent background :mrgreen:

When I was done with the first, the only thing I didn't like was the grille and the airdam. I wish that were my only problem:eek:
