Fun Making Vid Walls for HS

Greetings long time no chat!

During this crazy quarantine we've all been living in I decided to take a crack at making some vidwalls.  I posted these to the discord too. I used me and my friend's first cars as inspiration first then branched out to a few other cars I liked mostly Lincolns and Mercurys because those cars typically never get any love lol but thought some of you might enjoy.  I am still tweaking the Ford one I am not happy with how the logo looks I need the blue to be darker around the edges of each letter then it will be better.

Aston Martin DB5

Aston Martin V8 Vantage

90s Corolla (friends car)

early 90s 5 Series (friends car)

Absolutely I can do like a custom vid wall pack or something.  I've been having so much fun over the past 2 days making them so I am still on a roll haha.  I am open to suggestions too.  I want to fix the Ford ones first tho still not happy with the logo need to get it shaded right.

I know I wish they were! But hey if someone is brave enough to try to make some of them I would be more than happy to let them use these vid walls.  I always wanted my 2nd car the Lincoln LS to be made for HS it really is an underrated/underappreciated car, same chassis as the Jag S-Type and XF.  I miss that car a lot!  Some of them like the Marauder though are available I bet that vid wall would look great with it!  ;)

Is your profile image Timothy Dalton? (007 in the eighties).

Your vids are also pre '00, that's good news to me.

Are you also into showcase pic's?

Yep sure is, big Bond fan always appreciated Dalton after reading the books he's the closest portrayal to the literary character.

I can sure give showcase pics a shot haven't tried them yet but was thinking of giving them a try too

Well MOST of the cars are pre 2000 but there are a few past 2000 :)

I use paint.net to edit them been getting used to using this program.  I used to be a very serious paint shop pro guy a long time ago but my copy of that program is so old now not even sure if it will run on Windows 10 I got it with my 2000 era Window Me Dell haha I guess I could always fire it up and install it again on that dinosaur haha

Tampa Bay area has been hit somewhat seriously, I know the city of Tampa now enacted a curfew at night thankfully I don't live in Tampa so as of right now things are good on this side.  Weather has been so nice lately not too hot perfect for bike riding.  I am still working but I work from home I am deemed very essential since I work in IT for an insurance company and insurance is essential so it's almost like I am double essential haha.

I will give that MB a shot I haven't done a MB yet so this should be fun!

Edit Here is my attempt:

Looks good, do you just google for a nice pic and add the logo?

This vid looks familiar b.t.w, it came with the car I guess. Still very nice effect.

I have a big collection of nfs4 cars, and all of them have a vidwall.Mainly a good pic of the real car.

NFS 3 had a history section, so you could add more pic's. Too bad in nfs4 it's not activated.

I was close to get it to work but failed. Wouldn't it be nice to have the history info (from fedata in car.viv) visible in a historymenu with some nice pic's.

Pretty much I try to look for images that look professional or from the manufacture then I do the color shading and put the logo over it.  When it comes to vidwalls though Ryuji Kainoh was the best at that I tried to copy what he had done when it came to colors like he did a Mercury Cougar and made the vid wall purple so I went Purple with Mercury.  He never did Lincoln but he did do Cadillac which was black and white and since Lincoln and Cadillac are so similar (same founding person, Detroit luxury, etc) I thought black and white fit Lincoln too.

Hello.

I use paintnet myself. Although i'm not that pro. I've been learning watching youtube videos. The farthest i've come is to make vidwalls for the car's showcase and some editing for the slideshow. Do you know any good guide in youtube to learn more?
Slowly flowing the energy through my body, and falling embers embrace myself.
