Hey Guys,

As you may have noticed the images of the cars and tracks on the leaderboard are not always correct. This is because these images have to be created manually and I do not have the proper tools/skills to create these images.

So we're looking for volunteer(s) who will be willing to help out with the board and create the weekly images for the cars/tracks.

You can see in the older GT5P weeks that the images are very professional but in the new weeks of GT5 not so much (the edges of cars are not very good, the gradient under the cars etc.).

We're looking for someone, preferably with a capture card, who can create the same images as in the GT5P weeks (so you'll probably need some photoshop skills).

We're also looking for someone who can create the track images like in GT5P, where the tracks have nice arrows for forward and reverse tracks as well as a grey border. This is only needed for the new GT5 tracks, as all the GT5P tracks have already been done.

If you want to help us out you'll get your own admin account on the board so you can login and you'll be able to upload the new car and track images directly to the board.


:cheers:

Joost
 
I'll do it gladly Joost 👍

I have a video capture device somewhere in my "cave".... And I certainly have the necessary Photoshop experience. Feel free to contact me for details if you so wish. :)

That would be great Chris! :)

The images need to be in the same format (JPG) and size as on the board so they fit in perfectly:

- 320 x 163 for the cars
- 319 x 163 for the tracks

Would it be possible to create some sample images for this week, so we can make sure everything fits ok?

I'll contact you asap with the account information as soon as I have it ready (I'll need to create some functionality for uploading of the new images, as that's not possible yet).


Thanks Chris 👍

Yes mate, no problem. I don't have my capture device to hand - I'll have to dig it out... so I'll have to whip something up in Photoshop for now. :)
 
You could ask AMG for his permission to use his track maps as a base for the pictures for the leaderboard-> link
And for the cars you can use photomode offcourse :sly:
 
The car pictures could be a submission contest. If you knew what the next 3 cars that were needed would be, you could put out a car list of 5 cars. and by the time you got to the third week you would still have 3 contest winners to chose from and still keep the mystery of what car would be selected for the 3rd race.

Probably a little to complicated and rough but still doable :)
 
Great work on the new tracks pics. When the time permits, it would be nice to update the old pics too.
