And yeah Sej, just duplicate your blurred layers 6 or seven times, link them, merge them, than duplicate them... It's a completely seamless way to do the whole motion blur thing. After hearing franz and Div talk about it, I tried it, and discovered that is a far superior method of blurring the background than my initial method. It really works great, and it's so much easier and faster.

You're making me want to try that 440, but I'm still befuddled about it, and I don't like the sound of that many layers It looks and sounds confusing to me.

No, it's so simple, but you won't know until you try it! Just duplicate your blurred layer 6 or 7 times. 6 or 7 identical layers is all it is. That's all you have to do. Than just click the blank box next to the layer and a little chain should appear. Make sure you have one of your blurred layers selected, and link all of your blurred layers. They should all be identical, you only have to do one blur. Than once you have them linked, go to layers, merge linked. It's that simple. Than you can do it again to pile up the layers a little more to ensure that there are no unblurred areas.

Heh, nice update matt!
The wheels look really nice on this car, even if I don't really like the gold colour
They're very nice to look at, because most people here on GTP (including me ) would've put a whole lot more contrast into those pics, but you didn't, and they have a great "rainy-day" look to them which is refreshing. Well done!

PS 440 is right, duplicate your blur layers!!!!!

 

[RetroGiant]

Awesome work Matt!!! Them lancer shots are looking real nice, especially that last one!!! Almost looks real!! Keep up the great work!!

Gotta try that,, but it sounds a bit confusing to me too though,, well I guess it's easier when you are trying,,
Oh and the update looks awesome,, I think the blurring is fantastic
Awesome job mate:tup:

 

[Dick Steel]

[Niels]

Pretty darn good, I love the last oversteer picture!

 

[PLmatt91]

440 CHARGER - Ohhhh, now I get it. I'll try that on my next GT4 update I'm gonna PM you for easier details on how to do it, that still sort of confuses me.

Revolution. = Thank you Rev., those rims look really good that size, I was thinking not to make them bigger, but I decided to do it Yeah, I was feeling bored so I tried to achieve that look

garnettrules21 - Thanks GR! I'm gonna try and top it on my next update for here

De@tthwi§ho0 - Glad you like it, thanks.

Dick Steel - The rims make me LOL Thanks a lot DS 👍

djskyline701 - Bah! Thanks dj.

BMW M Coupe '98​

I'm soo happy with this update. 440 CHARGER helped me on my first picture I'm very glad with this update myself, I'm gonna top it with the next one in a week!! Comment please!​

 

[RetroGiant]

You should be pretty happy with this update cause it's one of if not your best work!!! Keep up the great work and I look forward to what you bring us next 👍!

 

[magburner]

👍 Awesome update man! The first two blur pics are superb! i like the widescreen look of the second blur pic, great stuff! The choice of car and colour and angles are great, and there are some great reflections throughout. Keep 'em coming!

 

[NTX]

Impressive update!!! The BMW is looking real good, awesome pics, all of them. U know how to make quality pics, congrats mate

 

[Vonie]

Awesome update, Matt.
In the first two, the blur is seamless, looks great.
That said, I'm not too big of a fan of the wheels, they don't suit the car to me.
But I really like the last one a lot.

Thanks man, I totally agree with you, this tops my Evo update in my opinion. The next update will probably be 3 pics, a front, back and side. So vist back in a week or so

👍 Awesome update man! The first two blur pics are superb! i like the widescreen look of the second blur pic, great stuff! The choice of car and colour and angles are great, and there are some great reflections throughout. Keep 'em coming!

Haha, thanks mag! The first blur pic, 440 CHARGER and I must have talked for an hour or two, he was explaining to me what to do and how to fix it, and now I see why all of his pictures come out so well! All the stuff he taught was too long so I found a way to quicken it up a little bit in my style. The second blur pic was sort of meant to be like the TT wide screen shots, it came out pretty bad ass to me! Yeah, 440 also told me about how to get those reflections up!

Impressive update!!! The BMW is looking real good, awesome pics, all of them. U know how to make quality pics, congrats mate

Thanks, I bring the quality up to 12 in PS, I might set it at 10 or 11 though, my pictures are too big of a size in for Imageshack to handle sometimes

Awesome update, Matt.

Mucho gracias, Vonie The first two, when 440 said to duplicate layers from 7 - 8 of them, I did about 14! And the wheels are bleh, ok, but I didn't want deep dish rims that much, and these wheels sort of set of the paint to my eye. And the last one was meant to have high contrast, but I changed to that. Thanks a lot Vonie!

 

[440 CHARGER]

All of those pics look great Matt. The side panning shot looks really really nice. They all have a good color tone to them, and they are all pretty clean. I have to agree on the wheel thing though. A little more bling perhaps! Nah, they look good.👍

 

[Krame]

Like I already said to you, this is one of your best updates. The first and fifth pics are my favorites. Everything about the pics is really good.

Thanks A LOT dude, really. The side panning shot has messed up wheels, I should've exited PS and set it the default for the radial blur, the color tone was done with the color balance, not gradients, I found it had better results in some pictures than the gradient. And yeah, for the next update, BLING, if ya know what I mean

Yeah, those are probably my favorites too. Thanks much Krame 👍
