My Photoshop Passion - *Virtual Cartuning * ;)

[Winni]

Im virtually tuning cars since nearly 2 years, is still fun to make it ;)

The most of my "chops" ( thaths the word for a virtual-tuned car ) are brushed, this means
that the most parts are drawn in photoshop, not only copied from other car-pictures.
I have more more chops to show, in some time i will udate and add some other ones.

I hope you like them, when you have questions just ask ;)

[ferrari_freak]

Some of those look really nice man. I really love the one where you turned that R32 Skyline into S15 Silvia. The rice is kind of iffy though lol but I guess it's ok as long as it's only virtual :D

[systemviper]

She;s got some chops! :eek: :hump:

[Eldonko]

Excellent work!

[kraifect]

Woah those are really good, how long does it take?

[3oh6]

some very nice work here :up:

a couple look almost too much but that the look your going for, just not my style. i gotta ask though, in the photos at the car show you have a MK1 Golf, any chance of seeing the digital image of it in a nice big size :D

[philbrown23]

I like the very last one! very nice!

[RADCOM]

Absolutely awesome. Please can you post a tutorial or at least a walkthrough on one of your Chops.:up:

[Winni]

Yeah, i will post today a session of some images showing how a chop is developing ;)

I know that some chops are kinda extreme but i wouldnt say its rice, i think i have a quite good sense of design and what looks good an what not ;) Most of the chops are kinda extreme because in the virtual tuning scene the chop hast to be something special, with only changing rims cleaning something you wont get far ^^
And some of the chops were for contests so the first impression which the viewer/voter has is the most important -> the chop has to be something special, extreme ;)

It takes a looot of time, for example i worked on the Mazda 3 nearly 70 hours.
It takes so long because by the Mazda nearly everything is brushed by me in photoshop, only things like tha background are copied from real images.

Thx for your comments :)

[SamHughe]

My jaw is on the floor! That chops were crazy good man! You're a real talent you know that?

[philbrown23]

I would love to learn how to use photoshop like that!

[Olly_K]

wow, they are awesome !

[Winni]

Thanks for your comments :)

Ive making a break with virtual tuning so far, no time for it ...
But i will ofcourse post some new chops in the future ;)

[WrigleyVillain]

I work with professional, high-end PS artists and retouchers and this truly is interesting and excellent stuff. I'd ask if you wanted a job but we don't work with cars at the moment. ;)

At the moment ? :)

You never now what the future will bring... ;)

Im not only making automotive art with PS, web design and other stuff is not a problem.

[Spawne32]

[l33t p1mp]

Nice stuff man, I really like what you did with the lancer btw.

[VisBits]

Dude thats pretty sick, I need to try doing this sometime.

[OV3RCLOCK3R]

That's some amazing work!

[71 (Bryan)]

[tact¡cal]

[Th3MadScientist]

[Winni]

Thanks for all your comments :)

[eBoy0]

That looks amazing!! Got any of a eclipse/talon 90-99?? :D

[Pisklink]

Damn dude, I'm completely stunned and suprised how you do that. I make some PS stuff myself but never got to know the program that well. I'm totally jealous at you, me wanting to be as good. :D

[Janno]

hey there, roobi (not used to the name winni)
your skills just keep getting better and better

i had my go at this a few years back
but gave up because lack of talent :p:

[Winni]

hey there, roobi (not used to the name winni)


Im not Roobi, but I hope someday to reach his level :cool:

Explanation for the others : Roobi is the most famous chopper in the virtual-tuning-scene.
Heres a chop he made ( awesomness ^^ ) :

[GoldenEye]

Very very impressive! :clap:

Thanks for your comments :)
a late apology for my mistake

i like your style even more, it's a bit more realistic :up:

[WhiteFireDragon]

wow that is truly amazing. from the developing yellow car, how do you go from the first to second step? do you freehand draw in all the black shapes onto the yellow body?

i photoshoped my avatar icon from scratch and it took about 10 layers and 8 hours. i cant imagine how many layers you got on there and time put into it...

[Winni]

Usually about 250-350 Layers ^^

But I`m making a layer for every line, every small part.
Yeah, much parts are made freehand, some are made with selections.

In the near future I will show you some logos I`ve made for Spawne32 , keep your eyes open ;)

Thx for all your comments

[XSAlliN]

The first two look great, I also like the demonstration (the one with the yellow car - not that I'm gay, she's just not my type).

[verndewd]

top notch work man

[verndewd]

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x56/verndewd/Ferrari_F430_GT_04copy-1-1.jpg

I rather like duplicating from scratch recently , the above is 100% cs3 going on 4 days of work.

[Dave_Sz]

that's a very obvious photoshop job...

[verndewd]

meaning what? Theres not one part of that that isnt generated graphics. And yes in photoshop. Pretty good for 7 months in PS eh? I can prove none of it is photo work (chopping) but it will cost you 10 dollars.

oh but I must add just to drown your "obvious " statement in the mire it was born in :D there are many hours of brushwork there.

100% vector and rasterized pixels, No photo anything there bud :)

[emoners]

more please :D

[verndewd]

now theres an attitude we can all live with :D

[Winni]

@ verndewd

Looks not bad but some parts are really messy ;) for exaple the shadow, some selections etc.

But hey, where is the creativity? ^^

I really dont see the point in rebrushing a whole existing image without changing anything.
I`m always trying to make somethin new and excitning, not only "copying" the whole image.

[verndewd]

do you have any idea how difficult just doing a complete ferrari from scratch is ?

[Winni]

^^ I know how difficult it is, dont worry ;)

But nevertheless, there is no creativity for me.
You havent designed it, looks more then a simple rebrush of an existing picture...

But please back to topic, the next time post your work in an own thread please :)

:down: no creativity? wow it took immense creativity. But since you are saying you understand how difficult doing one is , you kind of oblige yourself to proving that you do indeed understand, right?

feel free to post your masterpiece at any given time :D

[Mr.Guvernment]

man that is some INSANE talent you have! i wish i had of learned PS back when i first used it and was really into it!

[B.E.E.F.]

Wow. Great stuff. I've been curious to see how its done. Some of the creations don't look airbrushed.

Winni, could you upload one of your older 'amateur' works? I'd like to look through the PSD layers.

[AlucardCasull]

awesome art man, and I agree with beef, it would be fun to look through all the layers.

[Winni]

Okey, here is the PSD. of the 200Sx WIP.

Ive resized the whole PSD. from 2500 pixel to 640*480, it should prevent stealing parts etc. ive made ;)

Here is the Download-Link, only 2.8 MB :

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H74M5GSK

Have fun with it ^^

EDIT : As I´ve mentioned before, not everything is brushed. For example some reflections on the chops etc. are copied from some real cars
and made fit to the new shape of the car. But the most parts are brush.
For example the reflections on the Hyundai, the Focus and the Mitsubishi are brushed by me, on the other cars its a mix of brushing and
copying ;)

Cheers

Nice. Thanks man.

What do you mean by stealing parts? They're designed for this car only.

[Winni]

There are enough people who "steal" ( copy and paste ) parts from work
an other person made. They copy parts from your work, past them on their work and claim, that theyve done it.
In the virtual cartuning scene its the worst thing what you can make, if anbody finds it out you wil get banned forever.

Thats why i dont post too big sizes of my work, thats why ive resized the psd. ;)

Thats nice tweaking going on there. as to rippers just asking them to prove versus the psd file flattens them out. Venting isnt easy and there are a large body of sites that show not only how to cartune as its termed, but how to model realostic original cars.

I think I read one car tutorial before I did the lexus and 2 ferarri's, after that I was introduced to some hot car design tuts. Rippers just need to find their way alone while the gurus throw down obstacles in front of them. That and where they take the karmic laws give back several times what was taken.
Dont fret the rippers ;)

[Greenberg]

Here is a noob :rolleyes: before I tune the BMW E60 525i Sport Limited Edition 2008 carbon black I decided to play around with photoshop to see what I will eventfully do with her, the M5 spoiler I already got the M5 body my friend promised to get for me for free :D

[Greenberg]

here are some more

[Greenberg]

side of the 5'ers

[Winni]

Duuuude, pls resize the images to 800*600 pls ^^

For the beginning its not bad, look out for blurry or too sharp edges or smudges parts ( like on the rims on the last pics ).

how do I resize them without reuploading them again :confused::(

[verndewd]

most image hosts have resizers.

[Greenberg]

most image hosts have resizers.

I uploaded these images using the tools on this site "Attach Files" method

[verndewd]

ahh try using photo bucket or resizing in your art program. i just use PB because it automatically resizes to 1024x768.

[Jochenp]

You do some amazing work. There is one point in which you could still improve though: the wheels. Somehow they always seem a little off, if you know what I mean. The angles don't really match.

[Winni]

I think you mean the camber ?
Im always using rims in negative camber, it looks cooler and gives more while cornering ;)

[B.E.E.F.]

EDIT: Thats how the 200SX looks at the moment, still working on it ;) :

Nice. More reflections now.

How did you get the basic gradient 'shine' running around the middle of the car? To make it shiny. Obviously no the gradient tool since its warped around the wheel well and continues to the back.

[Winni]

I think you mean this shine at the side ? :

http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/9268/200sx3ib6.jpg

Simply a normal selection, then im taking the brush tool and brush along the selection with a soft brush-tip.
Then im inverting the selection, less opacity on the brush-tool and again, brushing along the selection ;)
At the end im duplicating this layer, lowering its opacity and setting the blending mode to overlay.

I hope its not too hard to understand, sry for my bad english -.-

[B.E.E.F.]

I see. I thought you did it in a more automated way to make it perfectly even along the edge.


I try an 'automated' way is to make the shape. Do the curve shape, make it white. Make a mask on top, blur it and take that blur and remove the selection from the bottom white part leaving only the edge.

[yenniedn]

wow, this is really cool. how the hell would you even go about doing this stuff? pretty amazing!

[knissel]

Any clue on the girls number?

Wow dude you're the man at PS.... I wish I had 1/16th of that skill in this program lol. You need to make a pictorial on doing some of the things you do.

[Mr.Guvernment]

have you tried other vehicales?

bikes?
nice trucks?
scooters..lol
