Thumbnails of all the cars?

[Bryan C.]

Anyone know if there are any collections out there that have a small thumbnail for each of the cars in GT5? I've been looking high and low with no luck. Any body Anybody?

And yes I mean for all 1031

Go ahead and start the collection and I'll know where to find it later.

I also vote that somone else starts this collection

 

[Doriya]

I'll do it!

But where should all the pictures be taken?.. A consistent location for comparison purposes? or just random places?

 

[asmarti08]

I think consistent or random will work, but the car needs to be the same position for every shot, just like you see in your garage. In each picture we see the front and left side of the car, and the tires are turned right at a consistent angle (~35 degrees or something). Just take a look at the thumbnails in-game.

Maybe someone with a blu-ray drive in their PC can figure out how to rip all the thumbnails from the game.

 

[Bryan C.]

The game makes them dynamically when you buy the car, that's why there is a "make thumbnail" option under the menu when you triangle on a car in your garage.

That's what makes it tough. They aren't just sat there in encrypted image files or something.

You might be able to rip them from save data if you had all the cars and all your cars had icons though.

The Apex book has a small picture and description of all the cars. There are some on ebay for 7-15 dollars. Maybe you could get someone to scan all the car pages.

The guy doing http://www.mygranturismo.net has a car database there, and I noticed there was a picture on one of the car pages that I accidentally went into. I don't know if he has a picture of every car, or just some, though.

This would be great, but what would also be very cool is if there were links to pics of the "real life" cars too, though this could be a little unreliable (sites could go down or change, or be a security issue etc)

Going to do this myself though for a few of the cars at least, mainly ones I am less familiar with.

 

[WRECKU]

Would love to see something like this.
Probably someone working on it already and its just a matter of time before it shows up, or is it just wishful thinking on my behalf.

Is the apex book the one that comes with the Signature Edition? Cuz I have that if it is.
