Quote from aoun :

Not saying you have a bad design mate, its clean and professional.

But where does the match come in to endurance if the oo symbol has no part of endurance? Not starting an argument, just curious to know why you chose a match.

well my english is not very good but i try to tell;
Endurance is not infinite.It ends somewhere.The most important thing is, how much thing is done before it ends.The match is made of something that burns so it can be used as energy.So it is going to end.But how long before it ends.How much heat(or light) will it produce. How many cigarettes can you light with that.These are the similar questions can be asked for endurance...(ex. How many laps before it ends)

I hope i can tell what i think.

By the way, i'm not saying it is a perfect match for "endurance". But it's my offer.

In my opinion, the infinity icon doesn't stand good for the meaning of endurance. Endurance is something like "last one standing wins"..It doesn't go forever.It is limited by the total energy of the competitor.
That's why i think we could look wider.There are some good examples in the nature ready for usage as icons.
For ex. the longest distance migrating animal..What is that animal? An arctic bird? might be used in the logo with some well done typography.
Or a horse, which is not a longest distance winner but it has a good place as a strong icon in human culture...
Or take a microscobe and check out the blood running in weins of living creatures.What is the factor that makes the difference in an long distance athlete? Those red cells that carry oxygen to the body? Why not use those cells well illustrated.
Even, think about popular culture.What makes one to stand longer? Determination? Hard training? Does that remind you something? Who is the character which is like a piece of iron in popular culture? I'd use gloves of "Rocky" as a reminder of strength in the logo.

The examples will go on and on for pages. But what i want to tell is not to stick with one icon because it is there for infinity. Think different.

I used a burning match in my design and posted with e-mail. It might be discussed about the layout and typography but at least i think i made a new offering.

These strange parts they keep adding wouldn't look out of place in Carmageddon...

That will surely shred both cars tyres next time Massa pushes.

WOW, this is very nice, especially headlights. Its sweet car, i want eat it

Thanks for inspiring

Here's my try with my new model, basic lighting, no textures and gi on.

I'm not very good at rendering but you can try yourself with the model i used in this scene.Just download it from http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=38838

I think i managed to fix it. Please re-download it.

Quote from tikshow :

looks, but fix these parts pls!

hmm
good spot. didn't notice would look that bad.

edit: i see it happened because of collapsing the modifyers.. will take some time to fix.

Hello guys,

I've been working on this for long time but only on my spare times.But finally it's ready to publish. I made a high resolution FRZ model (over 1.000.000 tri-faces)based on low-res cmx model for your better renderings or texture shows. It needs a rear wing but can be easily added from the original cmx file. The interior is still low-res but not much important since you'll not take an interior shot . And i forgot to add a meshsmooth modifier to the brake calipers, just add it is modeled to prevent inaccurate faces after meshsmooth. Here're some screenies i rendered but you have to make your own texturing because it wasn't possible to make a compatible file with the renderer i used.




Please feel free to use it for your scenes built for texturing showcases or for fun. And i'd be happy if you add a small hint "modeled by zorer" to your final image.

Here's the download link for the fixed mesh :

it is in 3ds format.

And please drop here a link to your nice renderings.
Bye

Earth looks like the best but pity for her we are living on it.

There should also be corel painter included in the box. I recommend using that one.

By the way, there's no "shine and shade" tool in any on 2d software.So you'll have to paint your own shadows and lights.There are many ways to do it. Google it and you'll find tonns of tutorials.

Hi,
This morning i tried to check my mailbox as usual but couldn't sign in.It didn't accept my password and account name. I tried many times but not working.
I don't remember the other information i usew while signing up so i cannot use the forgot password feature. It asks for my zip code but i don't remember what it was when i was registering. And i don't know which email i give as an alternate so i can't use that feature.
I contacted them and asked for help but can you recommend me a software or something to make a key-logger scan on my computer? It's possible a son of a bi*** stole my account.

So rendering the z-depth will save us so much time by not rendering the multi-pass depth of field camera views... That sounds cool!.

I'm glad you liked it guys. Thanks.

It's a clearly political decision.

ok then, i'll let it make own decision.

Do you guys have any idea about what might have happened to my xmod?
it doesn't steer to right but it does steer to left.

I have a mini-z overland and an xmods evo.
But i burned something on the xmods while trying to add 2 more batteries now it doesn't turn right.

Why should i connect to a cruise server to relax instead of laying down my bed and enjoying my completely free nice time before my gf's next call.???

Quote from 5haz :

Lets not forget that the 'scandal' also involved a Ferrari employee, but strangely, Ferrari are not punished at all??

And Ferrari arent exactly innocent when it comes to dirty play over the years are they?

That's right.
I agree.

FiA is clever. They choose McLaren built ECU's just to be able to open a new investigation and punish McLaren in case they win the championship again.

"The car includes an all-new carbon fibre gearbox."

Is that stolen from ferrari too??
hmm nope, must be stolen from arrows...call FIA!!! Punish them, quick!!

That red sh*t always looked ugly, it keeps winning the "ugliest f1 car" prize.
But still there's a hope..This would be more accurate.


By the way, every one knows fia is ferrari's servant i guess ferrari will win the title again.Fia will find something else to punish mclaren in case ferrari isn't just fast enough to win on the track.

I hate ferrari i hate fia, but i'm a mclaren fan so can't stop watching f1.

oh no! sh*t.

Ok, here's my try;









Black and white usages.

Quote from Tweaker :

I didn't mean it had to have a 'world' image... hell that is far too cliche for my taste. I too could have someone holding their arms up for a label on a carton of orange juice.... It just doesn't make sense. You see what I mean? Besides the fact that this reminds me of JZ's BOTT logo entry, and old school dEmporium illustrations, I think it is fair to say you can get a bit more creative... Settling on this and compare it to WRC or WTCC logos, comeon :rolleyes:

Not comparing, giving examples.
I don't care, go choose one of the photoshop-looking logos with tons of eyecandy and hundereds of flags waving.And please don't forget to add chrome texture from 3dsmax/maps directory as a "hard light" layer to make it look like metallic.
