Post your McLaren F1 desktop wallpaper...

Peloton25 · #1 10-27-2004, 03:13 AM

This is my current one - it kicks butt! I think most here will find it to be a new photo, and will like it.

The original image of the Yellow Corn GTR was 800x600, so since I run 1600x1200 resolution, I have stretched the image to 1200x800 to fill up more of the screen without losing too much quality. If you want a copy of the image by itself, click here.

I'll assume among this particular crowd that I'm not the only one using a great shot of the McLaren F1 as their desktop wallpaper, so if you have a good one, feel free to share it here.

My current one is a render test of a model I'm wirking on.
I use it as wallpaper because it's easier to use the "show desktop" button to have a reference when I change my settings ...
It's far to be finished, I have to improve the textures (e.g. tires ...), lighting (e.g. cockpit to bright), ... but it's in progress.

Jkbon, truly good job. I envy you.

Jkbon, that is the nicest digital image I've ever seen - great job! It must take a while to make, but the results are definitely worth it. You'll have to make one for each car!

I like the new wallpapers. The renderings just blow me away with how real you guys can make them look. I didn't upload any images, but created an album at Imagestation for your viewing pleasure called McLaren Wallpaper http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=2711420093 . I create a number of wallpapers, but most are copyright infirngements and I'm not able to post them. All of these in this album are made from scans, so I hope I haven't stepped on anyones toes.

I also have a couple of digital renderings that jkbon might be interested in. The guy that did the GTR and the LM Jason Adank is beyond amazing. I think you'll enjoy them.

The other person that I think you'll enjoy is called "pinner" at CGTalk.com and you can see his renderings at the following link:

I hope you'll enjoy.

You'll keep up the good work.

Your Imagestation album is asking for a Password.

Thanks for the rendering links - I love looking at those.

Hey Mini magic,

I had Eric post that for me back in May. I took it from a scan and took out the page crease. It's still a valid link on the Forum under:

Long awaited #01R photo - courtesy of "Mpowered"

or you can find it here:

http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=231492

I dinked with it after the post to clean if up a little so if you want that one just PM me with you email address and I can zip that to you.

As a footnote, I just uploaded the same type of repaired image of the LM XP1 that I fixed from Driving Ambition, and placed it in the album at Imagestation. I also thought that I would upload a few more wallpapers for your viewing pleasure. http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=2711420093

Enjoy.

It was from your original scan you posted months ago. of course I cleaned it up a bit using various photoshop tools. Though I'm still kicking myself since I thought that the "Michelin" decal was meant to be white and decided to brighten it up.

Mpowered · #14 10-30-2004, 08:33 AM

I went one step further with the GTR and really bastardized the scan. I decided that I would really like a totally black GTR, so I just took everything out. I'll try to just post it here, instead of on the Imagestation site.

Here goes.

Enjoy
