Preserved Topic: **MARCH 2003 SIG CONTEST** : Transportation (Page 2 of 2)

the train looks much better now, but i think the track has still some problems. it doesn't got the "i'm moving forward" look yet

i think its because the two lines on the track that go back and forth ....railroad ties are very close together ...perhaps you could insert railroad ties that go "back and forth" which would give a better appearance of motion...IMHO...FWIW

mm.. the ceiling is moving faster than the ground too...
so that's throwing it off.

how come no one's contributing any sig at all?

Have you looked at the thread at all yannah? There are many contributed sigs.

Why are you here talking about other people's level of contribution without contributing anything yourself?

[This message has been edited by DL-44 (edited 03-20-2003).]

I could only see 16 contributers who contributed their sig with this thread. sorry for not seeing them earlier when I first posted here from school.

Dude that's awesome, is that a Photo manip or just pure painting?

photo manip - that picture came up in the photoshopping forum a few months back.

It's been a while since I joined in one of these.
This is just about the coolest mode of transport I know of... (sorry Stargate fans!)

Darn it Duff! That was the same idea I had (only mine was a bit more twisted) But I didn't have time to finish the darn thing so I don't think I'll be entering this month

Ah maybe I'll finish it later

¿Duff? Great! So now I'm a fictitious beer!

HAHA! i LOVE it Dufty!!!! excellent!!!!

PS- Good work Dufty. Way better result than anything I had come up with so far.

Zipper: You might want to look up at the top of the thread--the subject for this month's contest is transportation. Non-contest sigs are generally not allowed (however nice they may be ;-).

how is Zipper's sig not related? radar is used in transportation in many places

[removed my sig]

[This message has been edited by Lurch (edited 03-31-2003).]

Radar wont get ya no wheres. It does not trans-por-tate.

[This message has been edited by eyezaer (edited 03-29-2003).]

in the end it's all darkgarden's decision =P
I say it's valid, and quite nice too =)

A TRON lightcycle. Couldn't spend much time on this, but I think it's ok.

(an unanimated version, for your convenience )
I took a little liberty with the design, though.

Actually i think Zipper was only asking for permission to join and forgot to turn off his sig, I may be wrong though.

Zipper, no permission needed, just post and pray

[edit] Mahjqa, straight from one of my fave movies, damn fine work dude ![/edit]

So, dig in dang it.

another go at a Mini sig this time its a Lightwave 3d model I made of my own car

Lovely, lurch....absolutely lovely =)

As today is the 31st, there's only 11 hours left to submit a car (European time), unless DG decides otherwise.

I LOVE this one Mahjqa

I don't know if I can really ask it here, but since there is not special thread I think it would be the better way.

I guess the lightcycle is pure painting, but I wanted a confirmation. And how did you do for this nice blue/white light ? I assume it's a gradient that was reworked after, but I don't really know. I ask that because I'm not good at Photshop and I wanted to improve my skills in this domain.

I've uploaded the PSD, it's here: http://www.mahjqa.com/stuff/lightcycle.psd

It'll most likely work with both PS6 and PS7, but not in PS5 or lower.

Some notes; I used 'maps' in these PSD's. Maps are are 'containers' for layers, you can drag layers in and out of them, and you can fold them in or out to save space in the layers palette. When you create them, they're set to 'pass through' so that there's no difference if a layer is in a map or not. However, if you set the blending mode of a map to IE screen, the entire contents of a map will be treated as if the map is a separate PSD, and the resulting image is blended with the screen mode you selected. (just try it out, it's clearer that way. if you still don't get it, please ask.

Ok, thanks for providing the PSD, that was very kind of you. I played with it, and I think I understood how you did that. In fact, it does not seem so hard to do. Just the painting scares me, I guess I will have to make prgress in this domain, otherwise I would more or less be able to do something like that. My thanks again

Too late, too late will be the cry, when the man with the bargains has passed you by.
