It doesn't bother me, but it doesn't look that good either... There's no viewing pleasure in seeing an unidentifyable car rotating around.

I think I'm gonna make a new one soon, put some of my chromed skills to work. I fell another drifting cat only this time it actually drift, I can edit in smoke using the burn and blur tool, or use a cloud renderer and try to make that look like smoke by editing it. Kewl!

That's cool, do you brush all those or use pictures of shows and add in backgrounds you made?

Anyway here is the VERY rough first frame of my sig. I've spen about an hour making cars and taking pics of them drifting on carbon.

My advice to you, Carcrazy, before you get too far is to decide whether you want the top of the car or the bottom, because cutting off the windows of a car doesn't really look good IMO for the kind of sigs you are doing. Another suggestion is maybe make it smaller, and simple is good so don't make too complicated a background that the viewer's attention gets drawn away from the main attraction.

Ya, I'm gonna have to start over to resize the image, and to chagne the pictures to a new set which will be easier to use. Plus maybe then it won't look as crappy. Does anyone know if tonight is Race Nights? If so might be a good place to find car ideas for sigs.

I'm not done with it yet, when I am I will slow the frame change down so it doesn't seem so annoying. :?

I don't know, I've been working on the Evo for about a week now, I just made the avatar 5 minutes ago because I was bored and figured it would look cool. Tho it doesn't, it needs a background. :(

EDIT: But when I'm done the Evo Sig will look nice, I still have to add smoke, fix the parts of pictures I missed eracing, slow the frames down, add in text, stuff like that. :wink:

Carcrazy, I have a great idea for you if you want to keep the animation and the viewer's attention. Try just making the tires spin or something to create the smoke, but leave the car in the same position. It will look great, and it won't be too distracting to anyone. Not to mention it will be a whole lot easier to do.

Ya, I'm gonna add smoke... and tires spinning would be a cool thing to try... I would have to duplicate the layers, rotate or motion blur them then erase the corners down so that only the tire is on the duplicated layer, the I could merge them together... :P

Well in that case, I'll predict a 22.5 day period on that set. Looks pretty good by the way, very colorful.

Eh.. I'm bored with most of the Internet right now so you'll probably see it up for quite some time.

Does my signature suck?

It's a mixture of two pics, the yellow Diablo SV from HP1 getting ticketed, and the other one is a snapshot from the HP2 intro movie (we can see a pursuit Diablo through a Gallardo sidemirror)

I am probably getting rid off one of them lol...
Hot Pursuit is back =)

Well, here's my finished Pro Street Sig & Matching Avatar (a first.) I have enough remakes here from while I was working on it to make a movie. :lol:

It was a red background but I changed it to the bluish-green to match the avatar.

So what do you think?
