i gotta question though…i put this jpeg on my site…but as you can tell, its using web colors, instead of RGB…i didnt save it like that, so why is it doing this, and how can i fix it?

I think i might re-do the front wheels too!

Looks pretty good so far. My only crits is the front end. Maybe if you made some cool detailed suspension, instead of the weird extruded cylinder things there.

:slight_smile: haha, yeah, that was basically the only thing i saw i wanted to change on it too, ill get on that…

So finally I opened your homepage.
I’d say one reason you don’t get an aswer is the not anybody has the patience to wait for a 2.6 MB start page to open (in a single png file).
Though a nice disgn, 200-300 kb should be enough for the content.
I think PNG isn’t the right thing to build a whole page.

I didn’t had the patience to open the galery, but if the jpg is part of the PNG I’d think it is possible that it uses its web color palette.

Just a suggestion for your HP, though this is neither a FW DW nor a HTML forum.
Because your using FW and DW you should cut your background pic (without text and menus) in pieces (header, menu fields, text fied) in FW, and export them as jpg.
In DW make a table and use this JPGs as backgound pics for the fields.
Make your navigation text with linking in FW and export only the this (html and images) and import to DW. Maybe additionaly a CSS for the text. This should reduce the size of your home page to about 300 k (still al lot).

Think about all the pictures you could post with the same webspace. :smiley:

And as mentioned above, if your jpg is in the png it is not a jpg anymore but a png.

BTW, I like your F1 :slight_smile:

Pretty cool but is it only for really tiny drivers? :slight_smile:

Satan’s race car. cool! [>] :<
:wink:

could use more engine detail. and for textures, definitely needs flames on the sides! and maybe some modelled skulls here and there just for decoration. a whole rack of them behind the driver’s seat.

Good car you´ve got there. Skulls and skeletons would fit right in as said previously, maybe a big bloody skull at the front, screamning swearwords at the other contestants.

first of all my main page…i know it runs slow, EXTREMELY slow (damn my 56k :slight_smile: ), ive already designed a new layout to put on the site which would clear up space on my server, and make it run MUCH faster…but i havnt planned on putting it up yet…im kinda busy with my game project…but anywho, the vertigo section of the site(my game project) runs fine (www.tudbzd.com/vertigo.html), and the jpg. isnt attached to a png…just a strait jpeg file lying in my server…dont know whats up…oh well, i think i might try to get the new layout up this weekend…alot of people are starting to come to the site, and i need a faster layout! :stuck_out_tongue: But anywho about the WIP…hmm…skulls, never really thought about it, but a great idea! ill do that, more engine detail, and some other cool stuff…if you notice those two huge tanks beside the drivers seat…if your wondering, that doesnt hold gasoline…it holds nos! thanks for the crits guys!

Pretty cool but is it only for really tiny drivers? :slight_smile:

haha, nah…its for normal sized people…that just gives you an idea of how massive it is!..AND EVIL :<

are you planning to turn that beast? or will you just force the other competitors to retire upon black mail by threatening to burn them all the way to hell?

eeeeh, i like it, but its a bit to “thin” in alot of places… i like some substance to a car, this seems a little like paper mashay(spelling?)

whoa i just saw the drivers seat, its so tiny, this car is humongous!

uh…the second one!

eeeeh, i like it, but its a bit to “thin” in alot of places… i like some substance to a car, this seems a little like paper mashay(spelling?)

thanks for the crits guys! i gotta lot of ideas from them about how to make this car better…hmm…i have alot of work this weekend! :smiley: cant wait! :slight_smile:

great! looks a lot similar to true f1’s, check out a real f1 car image to get an idea for the srm supensions. this guy :< wil ride it :stuck_out_tongue: , it just colors, so i expect that you find a wy to save em the way you want

definetely lot of skulls and bones attached to the hull…
and as curtis said, it looks like a car for very very small drivers… :slight_smile: it’s funny really, I didn’t even notice the stearing wheel and seat at first…

.b

sup guys?! I added a few things to the model, gunna start texturing it soon…

HAHAHAHAHA that is f_cking awesome man!
comments:
the skull rack is standing straight up. this would be weird i think. it should probably follow the curve of the car’s body, or at least look integrated into it. right now it just looks like it’s pointing straight up and unattached to anything.
The skeleton arms are a great touch. maybe have put the mudflaps in the palms of the hands so they look like they performs some useful function.

this keeps getting better! :slight_smile:

lookin nece dude, but maybe make those side things look a little less like subsurfed spheres with four verts pulled out…
