RE: SCOOP: TVR Sagaris

[Street Spirit]

It looks good allright. But as black? It's lighter than the gunmetal one I did...

[FourWheelDrift]

Here's a proper shiney black (at last)

Lose some detail though.

[Bodo]

I have a guess, how to let that black look a bit more realistic; it's about creating a special layer just for the reflections, since black reflects more from the environment than the grey on the original car - hence, reflection contrasts should be little bit higher.
It's still far away from a real black car though.

[Street Spirit]

You're right, more contrast does make it look more realistic. Pretty much screws up the quality though (e.g. FWD's one is all smudgy).
But thanks for the tip, here's me trying to use it:

[FourWheelDrift]

Good, but still looks a bit Matt Black though.

The way did mine was, I created a new image of the car in a dark colour, converted the image to greyscale, then turned down the gamma settings and adjusted contrast and brightness before pasting the car onto a fresh background.

Oh and if anyone wonders why we are doing this, for me it's because I don't like what I've seen so far and we are seeing if it looks any better in different colours. I still don't like it though.

Well, then do something to the bodywork to make it look better. Lazy git.

While browsing thru your fine photo collection I was struck by those lovely new 19 inch wheels the Typhon was sporting at MPH03 - and by jove those nuts look tasty too! Reckon I know where they came from!!

I'm going to Gorner's to see it

I WANT ONE!!!!!

[banger banks]

Taking my 03 M3 to sell as deposit for one of these sagaris babies! If it goes as well as it looks, and has more than 222 bhp per ton (M3) then i will be well pleased. Always wanted a sub 10 second to100 car. My Mother will not be amused, but what the hell I am 46! So eat exhaust Mother.!!!!!!!!!

All current TVR's are sub 10 seconds to 60 (with one exception) and the Sagaris will be _much_ quicker than that! I'm sure you'll not be disappointed! I heard the Sagaris will put out around 470hp in supercharged form so you may well double the 222bhp/tonne!

Crikey is that all it has? Even my Griff 500 has around 300 (real) BHP/Ton And I thought M3's were powerfull Rich...

Well i suppose you're not wrong really all current TVR's do get to 60 in under 10 seconds but maybe you could have narrowed it down to 5 seconds!?!

as for the one exception i guess that is my mate's cerbera cos he's broken it!!!
