It's time for the voting sheet. People who still have ideas or screens in the making have some time to finish (and post!). The deadline is:

30. November 2014 19:00 GMT ;)

1. This one looks really great except for the text on the car. I'd love to see it with a different car that has less text.
Maybe a slight blur for spinning wheels could help, too? :)

2. Love it!

3. Too much cliff :p

4. Very bright, but they look good. I prefer the upper one with blur.

PS: You should really render the screenshots in FullHD for better quality. In the last picture you can easily see a few edges on the windscreen of the red car ;)

1. I'll reshoot it with a different car and motion blur (to be honest, I planned to do motion blur and forgot it xD)
2. I'll lighten up the second one like erik suggested :)
3. Yeah, it seemed like a good idea until I tried it on the site xD
4. Definitely too bright, I'll reshoot that one with a darker color grading.

I'm not really sure how I can shoot these on any higher settings :( Could you send me the settings you use, because I don't see how I can go any higher :/

Thanks for the suggestions :)

Ok, here are some edits. I check my settings and everything is as high as it will go, so I guess this is as good as it gets :p

(The car on this one looks way better in full-size)

Hope you like them :) I included the links so you can test them on the site again :)

Thanks,

great zack!
Well I wasn't talking about the render quality, but the resolution. Sorry for the confusion :s
If you render in window mode you can choose any resolution. I would set it to FullHD because most people have fullHD monitors. ;)

400r, wow this one looks really great :o




It looks a bit weird that the car's edge is a little bit outside the screen :s




The new colors look better imo :)


The brighter version :)

I'll replace them, although I expect them to be worse since there's no contrasts anymore. If it's too dark turn up the brightness a little :$

@haenry: Thanks haenry, I can reshoot it so that the car isn't over the edge (I made sure it was showing so I guess the editing screen preview is a little different from the final :s ). I shot all the screens in 1920x1080, isn't that FullHD?

@Space: I thought of that, but the blue skin looked a little odd. Since most of them are in Sunset mode, everything looks orange/red and so I thought the red car looked best ;)

@gado: Do you think I should keep the contrast but make it brighter? Sometimes making a picture brighter can dull the color a bit, but I'll see what I can do :)



Brighter :)

The resolution was my bad. I had the page zoom set to 80%. Sorry. 1920x1080 is perfect!
The editing preview sadly doesn't perfectly match the real rendered view, if the ratio is not the exact same.
Anyways, good job on the edits (y)
