Hehehehe :)

I changed a few things on my hachi and I'm liking it more now. You can see some of my drifts here (right click and "save target as..."). It's just a small(1:05) movie I made at Gran Valley to show a friend some GT3 drifting. :)

The drifts aren't very good 'cause I only gave it a try at each corner with the cars. (so, if you have 56k don't download, it's not worthy ;))

sweet man..
 
Cudaman, how did u shoot ur vids? by camera?

I run my PS2 output through a VGA adapter to my monitor. So I was able to point my digital camera at the monitor in QuickTime movie mode and shoot 30-second clips. State of the art. :D

I don't remember how much HP the Shigeno Trueno has... 250 maybe.

I like to use sports suspensions on my 86 because you can really see the weight transfer on the braking and cornering. I know this isn't a good thing, but it looks specially cool on the 86.

Nothing wrong with that at all. :) Some of my favorite drift cars have stock suspension, lean and all!

DrifterBR, I'd love to see your drifts but I can't seem to get the video to download. That link starts downloading some unknown file and won't get to the point where it actually asks me where I want to save it to and what the heck it's called. :)

250! mine has only 195 Hp... :( NA though not turbo.. :D uhh u got ne ideas of what I can make a vid of? I mean like I play GT2 on my comp and I have no idea of how to make a drift vid of it.. u got ne ideas?
 
CudaMan: That server is a little weird, you can copy the link into GetRight or another program and it will download something like "show_file.php", that file is the actual video and you can rename it to .mpg :) But don't expect too much, I used a Webcam to make the movie! :D

TingBoy: Yea, that's the one! I just love that game! ^_^

[Jetstorm]-R: Since you're playing on the computer, you can use a program called FRAPS(http://www.fraps.com/) to make a movie of GT2. It's a "screen capture program that makes realtime recording of your gameplay to high quality AVI files" like they say. :P

Buy a TV card the quality you get is much increased and you wont have to hold a camera rock steady, or place it on a tripod. Although I must admit you do a great job with the equipment that you have.

[shameless plug]Have you looked at my GTC Videos yet?[/shameless plug]
 
hey DrifterBR, good vid, but you spelt grand valley wrong
its Grand Valley
not gran valley ;)
and i'm also guessing you used a WebCam to shoot the vid while pointing @ the TV? hehe :D
 
Damn, you're right! I always thought it was gran valley.. you know... Gran Turismo... Gran Valley... :P

Yup, I used a Webcam, that's why the image quality is sooo crappy =[ gotta get a capture card...

really? does it lag on the computer? (taking resources, slowing the game down) and also Check PM... plz respond to it..
 
That will really depend on your computer:

What are the system requirements for movie capture?

You need a fast system to make movies of your games in realtime. Below are the minimum specifications required to capture at decent framerates.

1 GHz+ CPU
256 MB ram
Windows XP or Windows 2000
7200 rpm hard drive
Before capturing, your game should be configured to use:

640x480x16bit (for DirectX games)
640x480x32bit (for OpenGL games)
Capturing games running in 8-bit (256 color) mode is not supported. You should also disable any form of anti-aliasing to ensure capture speeds are high.

But, since the PSX emulator doesn't take as much resources as a game like Quake3 does, you should be able to capture it with no problems if you have a decent computer :)

Comp Specs (mine)
850Mhz
128mb
45Gig HD...
Win Xp Pro
does it cut it?

and I got a problem, I can't get Direct X installed! :mad:
 
DrifterBR, that's some quality stuff! Now how in the world did you get mismatched rims on the RX7? :) Hybrid stuff? I like how smooth your video is... I can only shoot in 15fps so it looks kinda choppy.

I ended up downloading the video as a file called "Unknown" with no extension. That was all I could do. Once it was finished I renamed it "DrifterBR.avi" and made a lucky guess on the file type. :D

I have. :) Makes me want GTC. I miss Autumn Ring!

I do want a capture card too... but first I must buy my way out of debt and buy an engine for my car. ;)
 
Thank you for downloading :)

I belive you got the impression that the wheels are mismatched because of the bad image quality, they are normal. :)

I didn't even know your movies were shooted at 15fps, the image quality is so good! :D The only way I could get 30fps was to make the image quality very crappy. :(

Ahhh, and sorry again about that crazy BrTurbo server. ;)
 
CudaMan,...

I'd like to thank you for liberating $300 from my bank account. I have finally decided to purchase a PS2 (almost solely for GT3). Watching Gran Dorifto 2 was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I tried duplicated GD2 in GT2, and it just didn't work. Then I tried it on my friend's GT3. Now I'm hooked, and will be purchasing a PS2 in about a week.

Thats a 2 meg clip of drifting in racer. Not the prettiest sim, but its promising, and free :P
Click to expand...
The word "free" caught my eye... hehe... so what game is this? And where can I get it?
 
tried drifting an F1 car? :P
or even at the test course?

found it hard to drift the Renault Clio Sports [R] ~ about 500hp.. i had to turn up the TC to not spin! (sim tyres)

drifting with mixed tyres is a lot faster than with sims tho.. they seem better for shorter type courses cos long drifts are a lot harder to do. They also seem to need more precise contrl than sim tyres.

just wondering bout the first 2 questions really. :)
 
how the he|| can you drift test course.. seriously...... i mean i've gotten really sideways for like... 1/2 the turn after my scudo finishes a wheelie...... but its just not possible....... the turn is waaaay too wide...
 
yea test course is REALLY REALLY boring..

but im sure its driftable :P

haven't tried it myself.. i reckon i need the wheel to do that
most likely thing is that u need some decent speed and a lowish drift angle..

have fun drifting ppl :P
 
i been drifting since gt2 as well but gt3 is about 10 times more realistic than gt2 so thats why i figure it is 10 times harder to drift.

i have been drifting in gt3 for about 6 months now and i got some GREAT material but i cant put it all in a video because i dont have the right materials needed to do so.

i do have a sharkport however which would allow for me to upload my replay saves with all the info on accelerator and brakes and steering for all my drifts.

let me know if any of you are interested. id be more than happy to upload.

ps - so far my best drift is in a mustang cobra R with sim tires all around and 500+hp around the largest turn on complex string...didnt miss a beat
 
:) will i b able to drift in my 1110hp viper? are there any hp ranges that make drifting easier for example like 500hp-600hp is dat a good range wats the best range and the worst and wat are the best cars to drift with!..
thx fr ure time! email me at mad_tuner@hotmail.com :cool: :)
