How did you know that was my favorite shot to date?!... 👍

I too gave you +rep for that one, truly deserving dude.

Only thing that could give it a even better look would be a slight gaussian on the background on the left (farther away) to give it a better sense of depth and distance.
Cleanup is really great, very 3D looking, yet natural and metallic. I'm really impressed with the wheel arch on the right, the way that the brighter and the darker part are splitted on the bumper but then fuse and give the shape of the bumper extremely well, all very smooth looking. Awesome work there.
Also, the rims are looking great, and you did a mighty work on the headlight too, it's looking great and it belongs there, not ended up too sharp or too muddy.
The door line near the rear wheel arch, did you do anything to it? looks great and adds a lot of detail to the car's side. 👍

 

[LGforce]

OMG...such a cool angle, good cleanup i love it mate. 👍 I do have some realy nice close shots of an S2000 and a NSX,but never realy felt like put them up. After seeing this one of yours i may try it though.

Lexus GS300: Nice angle, really shows a mean look of that car. I, like most others prefer the desaturated version. Really suits the style of the shot and makes the car stand out more.

Nissan 350Z: Great work on this shot, I can tell you put a lot of work into it. When you get that close to the car you have to do some serious clean up. Nice work on the blurring and the door lines too, the wheel looks a little rough but that is not a big deal. Really nice colour and lighting, superb shot Krame.

BMW M3: Wow, this shot is great. I love how you did the bg, desaturated with the slight red tone. The clean up is really good, I guess it has lost some definition in some parts but it still looks good overall. Good choice in keeping the stock rims too, they look sweet.

Amuse S2000: Extreme in every way. Awesome wide angle and the clean up is superb. It really is an amazing shot, must of taken you a long time to get it looking that good. I love it Krame, amazing job. 👍

Keep up the great work Krame, look forward to what you come up with next.

 

[Krame]

Well I guess its safe to say that everyone really likes the S2000 shot. And to think I was going to scrap this shot because I was so turned off by the poor rendering from GT4.

Very nice cleanup. I like the composition as well. It does remind my of Lightning McQueen in the movie, Cars, when he's posing for the cameras and saying "kachow!"

Thanks cod.

WHOA!!!!!!!!
SUAVE!!!!!!! I love how clean and smooth the car is and the camera angle is just AWESOME! The car looks like it's ready to jump right out of the picture! I love it man!

Thanks! Took awhile to clean this one up.

it looks so bulbous. that is one huge looking flank. love the clean up. the projector headlight especially.

Thanks man. Yeah, the huge looking front end is what makes me like this shot so much.

A truly great update you have there Krame.

Thanks TVR

very nice 👍 im a big fan of bug eye shots like that one. the only nit pick is the lose of the hard line that runs from the wheel well to the center of the hood that outlines the headlight.

Thanks empty. I see what your talking about. I smoothened it out so it wouldnt look so vectorized.

I used that combination in one of my updates, so it's evident I like it LOL. I think the light works fine at San Marcos with the white Amuse. You redone the most part of the frontal... it was needed.

Salu2.alexwrc

Thanks alex. Yeah, the front of this car was so badly rendered out of the game. Took a while just to get it to look right.

That's what I call wide-angle! Nice shot Krame, the clean-up gets harder as the car is closer to the camera so you've done an excellent job on it, especially the hood and bumper lines 👍 The only thing I could mention is the front wheel, it may need more camber angle to make it look more like a race car...Get what I mean?

Anyways, nice job!

Thanks Bram! Cleanup was frustrating. Lots of work. Thanks for the tip about the camber angle, it would've looked better with some more angle.

hummna, hummna, hummna, hummna. that is all i can say on the Amuse S2000GT1 (brilliant shot) and the supra pics are fi-ii-ine.

lol, thanks gordon.

WHAT A SHOT!!!

+REP to that Krame

Thanks NTX, for the comments and rep.

you beat me to doing the VIP shot! though i do have one in the works. very nice updates lately i must say though. specially the latest one.

Thanks man. Cant wait to see your VIP shots.

You've earned yourself rep with that, Krame. Cleanup, Angle, all well, no, very well executed!

Thanks Ray!

Thanks man. I was going to create some depth of field, but decided to just get everything in focus, I thought it looked a little better. I was trying not to get teh car so vectorized looking, so I smoothed out all of the reflections and contrasting color lines. Took a little while to clean up but was worth it.

OMG...such a cool angle, good cleanup i love it mate. 👍 I do have some realy nice close shots of an S2000 and a NSX,but never realy felt like put them up. After seeing this one of yours i may try it though.

Thanks LG, you should post those shots up.

Some of the best shots are the ones that come off the PS2 brutally hideous but after some tender loving care, they're amazing. Kinda like the ugly duckling.

You should see how ugly the S2000 in my S2-Clean update was.

 

[Krame]

[Loon]

Holy cow man, you think that could be any more smooth? You did an amazing shot on that, it looks damn near real.

 

[Pebb]

I like the work you have done on this shot, even I like the angle you have picked as well.

 

[franz]

Both S2K and STi are A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!
Did you use brush to rework the car texture on S2K?
I did that from time to time
anyhow I am surprise the M3 was taking from another location

 

[NTX]

No words Krame!!! U did it again...a damm fine shot!!!
Love to see every detail of the tire, very good!!!
Once again congrats Krame!!!

 

[jgda9rs]

now that's one shot i dont see very often here in the forums. great work man!

 

[Bram Turismo]

I love it Krame! This is the style I want to do but never accomplish, awesome cleanup, the rim looks beautiful, the brake has been reworked with extreme excellence, everything is perfect in this shot Krame

However, the sidemirror looks stupid but that's not your fault, that's just PD being lazy If I may point something out for you to try on this shot is to select the tarmac closest to the car, the tarmac which surrounds the tyre. Select that and copy it onto its own layer. Now try this: Filters -> Texture -> Texturizer -> And then select the sandstone option for that filter. Try some blending modes and opacity, I think this method would be very interesting for your style 👍



Cheers!

 

[Beerz]

Awesome, I see you reworked both the rim and the brake disc, you must have a lot of free time on your hands, huh?

Cleanup is really smooth, great angle (really closeup shots like this one are a lot hard to work with). Only the small panel on the front, the one with those 2 things poking out, looks a bit harsh, both the lines and those 2 things (sorry, I don't know a word for them).

And Excellent suggestion by Bram, you really should try that, would add a lot of realism to the shot, since the lack of detail on the ground makes it look kinda blurry.

 

[Tangled Web]

Wow, another amazing picture from you Krame. A lot of time must of been spent on this one too, looks really good.
Love the angle and great choice of rims, they also look superb.
I do agree with Beerzy that those two little scoop things on the bumper look a bit weird and Bram's idea of giving the road some texture would look really good too.
Other than that though, another stunning shot, love you H2H entry too.
Keep up the good work. 👍

 

[Krame]

Heres my entry for this weeks H2H comp.

​

 

[Vince247]

nice shot krame!
original angle, well done cleanup and an intense blur.

 

[alexwrc]

Mmm, I have to say the wheel details shot is very suggesting, very sexy

[NTX]

Really good work once again!! Love this last Impreza shot, very sexy!!!
Your muscle car shot is also good, quite unique IMO!!
Well done

 

[STI GUY]

How do you get those brake callapers so clean on that blue skyline?Very nice work!👍

 

[Loon]

You've got to be the smoothest PS'r here man, all your shots are so nice and very easy on the eyes.

I like your rim choice on the STI, where'd you get them if I may ask.

Interesting color choice for the charger, you made it look great, the shine is really nice on it. Reminds of a show car you'd see a some fancy auction.👍

 

[STI GUY]

How do you widen the body,put a up graded intercololer look,and make the brake callpers stand out more?Sorry for asking so many questions but your the guy to ask. Very nice pictures.👍

 

[freddy86]

Very impressive updates lately krame. The best has to be that ultraclean impreza. Very inspiring to do a gt4 update once again...
You and the imprezas. Must be update nr 20 with one of those.

 

[Vince247]

That impreza might be one of the cleanest pic's I've ever seen on GTP until now...

 

[Dead_Poetic]

Awesome update man. The preza is very clean, and you really did a good job of making that charger shot something special-despite it being a very simplistic shot...nice update!

 

[Jay.]

I keep coming back to check your updates.

Latest few pics are sooo sweet!

One of the most impressive galleries here!

Hail Krame!!!

 

[LGforce]

Another wide angle shot that makes me go work on my own piece. Awsome Krame realy aswome. 👍

 

[jgda9rs]

that's awesome Krame!!!! your entry shot is quite smooth, same with the other Impreza shot. never thought they would look good with Enkei wheels on them. i just love how you bring out the details of the wheel really well. i used to ignore them until i started to actually watch your work every now and then. they look very vectorized, same with the rest of the car. the muscle car shot is a good one too. but, i was gonna ask you how you do clean up on the wheels and how you make them look like they do, specially on your last update with the Rays wheel. i would love to know. coz everytime i try and clean up the wheel, it ends up looking so blurry. anyways i look forward to your next update.

 

[franz]

Both pictures are awesome indeed but the WRX is definitely very good looking
the style reminds me some of your earlier updates ... super clean + cartoonish 👍

 

[alexwrc]

Ogh! Very beautiful STi man!
