wow..really impressive... nice job on the background for reflections....

happy bday, steven.

haha...that'd be my partner I was just snapping off embarassing pictures

few more pics from the day...

those are actually kosei k1's.. painted gold.. they are about 14.5 lbs.. volk's are way too much $$ for this car

and yes, the top is indeed painted satin black

i'd loooove to take on Laguna Seca.

glenn.. some awesome tracks there!

this even was at Lime Rock Park in CT http://www.limerock.com ..awesome track.

i've run (in my b5 audi a4) at Watkins Glen (in the wet..yech), BeaveRun (western PA), and Pocono North and Pocono South (multiple times)

here's a few pictures from my buddy's wife... still have to grab the shots off of his SLR.. .

friend's mini...

hey guys..thanks for the comments! the car was built under no rules, really.. we run mostly Time Trials and just open track days...its just for fun now...

we hit the track on Friday and the car performed great! way faster than we expected and after a bit of adjustment on the rear end.. it handled like a champ...pics and vids to come soon!

about 10 months in the making.. we finally got to test our VW Corrado we've been building up.. its 99% done... and will be 100% for our first track day on Friday.. we dragged it out of Brooklyn to a stadium lot in north jersey for testing before we hit the track..

the car went from this..

to a shell..

and to this, ultimately





we're very excited..testing went great. two of us did all of the work..if anyone wants anymore info, i have a gillion pics..haha..

i didnt take them...i swear....

like from this morning....or am i crazy....AGAIN? haha..

great stuff, as usual, steven.. loving it. keep updating.

maybe export the background minus the water and then the water on its own and adjust the transparency in pshop?

haha...i'll be totally honest and say that i am not always a fan of the bright bright colors you use Wink otherwise, they're beautiful...i guess i have sensitive eyes. cant wait to see if this progresses..

wow! is all i have to say..these are awesome, tom. i love the slight slight transparency...i've tried this before and have never really been terribly successful...these are great though.

nice...i just finally noticed this thread...congrats!

and welcome to the new members!

haha....very cool...and happy bday!

fine fine..i will scale everything up

i dunno..in my model, the guy fits on the seat pretty well...you're saying the toilets too small for the guy?

here is a level change, which helps alot... going to make up a larger version..my background image was small to start with, unfortunately..

i did use the physical sun/sky the first time...but this time i used hdri's of the background for reflection/refraction..think that helped alot!

as far as the driver, it is actually correct...going by how the model was originally built...

sorry for the funky colors...

but i do like your idea..have it actually be the size of a toilet and have somone sitting on it? little steering wheel?
