Unless you put the wheel into another layer, I don't see how that's possible because it tries to add the blur to the whole picture, not just the wheel.

Make sure the wheel is selected. You can do this with the intelligent edge fitting selection tool (Scissors), or with the ellipse selection tool.

No, the background is not custom. Changing the center wouldn't help, because I wanted to make the tread on the wheels spin as well. That means the selection wasn't even close to round. I also tried to take the top off, but it got too complicated.

Remember you can use the scissor tool to select non-perfect-ellipse wheels tongue

So, I quickly Gimpified this car, and this is what it came out as (with signature (no not real) to make it look better! big_smile )

@jji7skyline
For some reason the scissors don't work, I complete the selection (I can drag around the whole selection and everything) but it doesn't make the selection.
EDIT: I'm loling now, now that I read the "GIMP tutorial" thread.

Press enter to complete the selection, after clicking on your first dot you made smile

If you like you can read my tutorial for FireDrake on the other Gimp Tutorial topic tongue

soft319 · 2012-09-25 20:53:49

Actually, that's what I just edited. Anyway, what do you think about the car? :3

jji7skyline · 2012-09-25 20:59:13

I like it big_smile

It would look nice with a bit of a tint though I think tongue

Duplicate the layer, then choose colorize from the Colors menu. Choose a slightly unsaturated, orangey or blueish hue. Then change the opacity of the tinted layer to change the strength of the tint on the original image smile

i just used freeform select and a steady hand. tongue

Note that some body work is in the way of the wheel, which means the scissors tool don't work in this case.

Unless your father's Bill Gates I don't think anyone will have anything better.

Well you're an iPad, so your father is Steve Jobs, which is just as good if not better since Apple is the top company in the world right now tongue

20 geek points to the one who can figure out this car (which I quickly gimped the headlights on and smudged logos so it still fits topic.).

No, MS is still winning.

Guys, guys

It's DeLorean (DMC-12)

though the DMC-12 I got from Wikipedia so you might discard that

Didn't think I wouldn't get an answer. Also, could I get that smoke tutorial? All the smoke I can get (airbrush with a smokey color) looks fake and cartoon-ish.

Ok.

Choose Filter > Render > Clouds > Fog
Change the fog colour to a light grey. Other settings, keep default.
Click OK.

Now use the eraser tool to remove the fog where it's not needed, then you may choose to gaussian blur the cloud in order to make it look like water spray, or a smoother smoke.

I added a bit to that, by using the opacity setting on the eraser to make some of it smoother then Gaussian blurred it. But the result is pretty much the same, pretty epic looking smoke. And the final result:

It's there, but I didn't think it needed very much so I didn't leave very much.

Microsoft doesn't have $700 per share, or a 100 billion dollar surplus. MS has bigger market share, but not the same profits.

@topic: I have to try this, it seems really cool tongue
