WHAT IS A WATER MARK?



[tornadexx]

and how do you move photos from memory unit to pc please answer

[driftforce015]

my brother still plays jsrf. i think he's at the end of the game. but he's younger than me so he plays it WAY more than I do!

[deathclip]

wat car was that

[Ctijerino22]

How did you manage to remove the FM3 symbol? I tried this earlier and I had 3 FM3 symbols in the middle of nowhere lmao. Thanks for the tut!

[Seksbox360]

@Ctijerino22 notice at about 4:55 that the top 3 pics actually overlap a little bit. For instance, you can see the front left rim in both pic 1 and 2. He then cropped down picture 2 and 3 to where the FM3 logo was no longer there and then lined up the pictures. The same principle would apply if you were doing vertical shots as well, just overlap enough to where you can crop out the logo.

[Ctijerino22]

@Seksbox360 Thanks man.

[jube3]

@Ctijerino22 Drop the pictures underneath each other so that they overlap, that way the second photo will cover the first ones watermark and the third will hid the second ones (let me know if that made sense lol).

[Ctijerino22]

@jube3 Yeah, thanks man. I figured it out a while ago, but thanks for the reply none the less. If you ever wanna do some photoshoots or something send me a message on youtube and I'll add you on XBL. CS5 ftw btw. haha.

[bcdc4587]

how do you upload to your pc.

[rubenick]

@bcdc4587 you have to upload the photos to your storefront... then go to forza 3 website and download them from your profile.... hope you got it :)

[corkyfatman]

nice vid jw what rims are on that and is that paint job on ur SF?

[Omen4500]

How do you upload them to your computer?

[FutureNihilist]

the roof on your 370z is misaligned. But it does illustrate the importance of your stitching tips. Thx

[no1doesitlikeme]

[FutureNihilist]

@no1doesitlikeme

[Sparcky94]

Sparcky

[wctaussig]

Great tutorial! PS. Dr. horrible's sing along blog is awesome

[jube3]

yes it is sir! haha

[saasorsa]

where can i download these?

[StuntDrivin4U]

another big thanks!

[ChickenBot]

I wish TURN10 would just support high resolution renders...even if it takes a minute to process.

[raidengear]

Same here, but the server load and storage will be an issue i guess :(

[ChickenBot]

@raidengear

Consider sites like Vimeo or Youtube that offer HD uploads to its users.

HD Video = 250MB

HD Image = 2MB

An ad supported site would have done the trick.

[snowboarder1417]

Nice tutorial Jube. I'll have to give this a try if I ever get an HDTV as for now parts of the sides are cut off on my TV in photomode so I guess I'll just have to keep doing it the old fashioned way :P

[koobz21]

whats a watermark

[la12muerta]

it's like a little logo press on your pictures it's barely noticable but it's like your own name embedded in your logo to show that it's yours

[kpa000]

its for making high res desktops or large images that you can print to color. whats not to get?

[cheynecastillo]

yeah i dont get this shit

can you upload it on your forza storefront or no?

if not then this is pointless

[la12muerta]

of course not, there are actually people who don't just play forza FOR forza. there are actually car enthousiasts out there who whould like lifelike pictures to put on desktops or to print out and hang on their walls or stuff like that

[WoolyFox]

whats a watermark

[DminorELECTRIC]

i dont get the point of this? why not just take 1 picture it looks exactly the same? is there something im missing?

[OtherworldJudge89]

It's kinda like this... Say you take a photo with 1920x1080 resolution. You will have thye car in that shot just fine, but what if you want a bigger picture?

you zoom in, take 9 shots at 1920x1080 and put them together to make the picture whole, and you will have a MUCH bigger picture, with good quality and the same amount of detail.

[DminorELECTRIC]

ah i see, so your trying to make the picture bigger without stretching the pixels. clever but im not bothered about picture quality that much :0

[la12muerta]

you have wider shots this way and it's better quality

[dsrevo79]

do i have to zoom 20 x? i wanna see the backround....

[jube3]

if you do not use 20x zoom the stitch will not align properly. You can have a background, just rotate the camera and take a picture of the background :D

[HEKTIC458]

WATS THE SONG CALLED??

great tutorials love them

[jube3]

Thanks man. First song is Kid Cudi - Pursuit of Happiness and the second song is off the Dr. Horrible sing A long blog - Freeze ray.

[frasermoo]

your tutorials are great, and your presentation excellent. get a portfolio together and hawk round some developers.

[Kandres027]

Very smart idea

[damo2986]

Nice cudi song in the background lol!

[hoodboi718]

brilliant.

[iZ28LS7]

Another thing, are you judging where the next shot will be from the far upper right tip of the red "F?" And how do you judge the next shot?

[jube3]

Yes I am, Although give yourself a little bit of breathing room, doesnt have to be exactly before the watermark. If you are using CS4 try using the automated thing I posted on the side bar.

DId you start out with only 3 images?

[iZ28LS7]

I tried three images first.

I also tried that photomerge feature you mentioned but It didn't work to well because I didn't get the photos aligned correctly. It was a bit distorted. It put the back of the car at the front. I don't know why but I believe it matched up the short wall in the background on Montserrat.

[jube3]

@iZ28LS7 Well it could be tthat you were not using the full 20x zoom. Thats very important to keeping your imagine aligned. If not you can be off by a few pixels in every direction.

Try creating the picture without worrying about the watermark and see if it lines up.

[iZ28LS7]

Ok, I made sure it was 20.0x zoom. I'll try it without working hard to get it completely lined up.

[iZ28LS7]

It did it again... I'll keep trying and eventually I'll figure it out. I'm going from right to left but I don't think I'm getting the second and third picture aligned with the previous watermark. I don't know where to position it. I'm using my left stick only btw. I'll just keep trying. :)

[jube3]

oh well thats the problem then, After you have the shot set with the left analog stick. DONT touch it again. Use the right analog stick to move from left to right and up and down. Moving your positing around with the Left sticfk will misalign the entire thing.

[iZ28LS7]

Yeah. I'm still having problems with trying to get the second, third and etc... aligning proportional to the shot I took before. I go too far I guess. But, I can't get it right unless I keep trying. :)

[iZ28LS7]

I'm still having problems doing this. The aligning part is hard. I'm using CS4 but I guess I didn't get my "cutoffs" right. :(

[Vitahero]

Jube Iam waiting for new paintings!^^

[antvick]

Thanks man! this will help me alot!

[00JEP00]

I think patience is the main things with this - good tutorial though - it all sounds so simple :P
