Inspired by Xero's edits. Its made to simulate the effect of a TV broadcast, tell me what you think, and post you own efforts here.

Nice work - I like the bottom one the most!
Btw, those edits that Xero posted are mine

What program do you use?

OH! Sorry man, credit to Marc then for the inspiration, I didn't notice...

I used Photoshop 6 like you I think, I made bigger versions, but I reduced it to be a small download for you guys, it looks even better full size. I'll explain how I did it:

First I made a blue 'screen' over the image, and reduced the opacity to about 30%, changed the layer blend mode to 'Overlay' and then flattened all layers. The pic should now look like a true-to-life colour image with a blue'ish tarmac instead of their default 'sludge' colour.

Second I applied 'Render>Lighting Effects' and chose the light to be an 'Omni' in the center of the image, so the center is overexposed and the outsides of the image gets a slight bit darker.

Thirdly I applied some 'Texture>Grain' and set it to horizontal grain for the interlaced (liney) effect across the screen (similar to that of a VVega Television), the bigger the image size, the more detailed the lines will be, and it will look better.

Fourth and finally you can apply a tiny bit of vertical 'spherize' deformation to give the impression of a slightly fish-eye camera lens.

NP Rainey,

Usually, I create a new layer, add white, change the opacity to aruond 40% and change the layer blend mode to overlay Similar huh? :P
For the t-cam I usually apply the Omni light effect - like you do
However, they do not work on all pics since some pics have parts which needs to be brightened more than others.

I really like these pics, especially the "TV effect", but if we go for "REAL", i prefer Marc's edits.

Marc, It appears as though we thought the same thing on how to do this, using the 'Overlay' blending mode and stuff. It shows that great minds think alike.

Habi, yeah I think Marc has got a more realistic look of what everything looks like through our eyes, thats why I tryed to be clever and make it look like a broadcast.

I've put up a screenshot of the steps I did this in, it is also a bigger version so it looks a bit better, the URL is:

I don't need GP4. This is a GpxPatch screenshot of my GP3. Look at the carshape and the liveries - almost no distortion there. It even has hands on the wheels. How much more realistic can a game be?

LOL @ Vader yet again






LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

lol @ Vader.... and Boba LS... and what the 'ell... @ Chris too!!!

It is damn easy to get at that way. You just have to install GpxPatch on your TV set to get GpxTV. Start your tele via GpxPatch, chose the GpxTV tab and check which TV station you want to see the race on, i.e. ITV or RTL or whatever. When the race starts on the tele, start GP3 simultanously. Be careful to chose the right track - for next weekend fior example chose "Brazil", preferable Bruno's version. Now you can race together with the big boys and all the world will see you´r driving live on TV. But be careful: some ppl might overeact if championship competeors get kicked out by unexpirienced GP3 racers.

do you need a tv out card to connect it gpxpatch to your tv?

has MS barged you off the track yet then?

You only need a TV out card if you want to play on digital TV. Usually the TV signal goes out over a normal aerial cable that you plug into the coaxial jack at the back of your monitor. In case you have a flat screen refer to your manual or ask your local shop for help.

so what happens when you get a blue flag during the real race, can you ignore it? coz gp3 does'nt support it

The stewards pick you up at home and give you a good hiding.
