Mind if I add this animation of the track

LurkerPatrol · March 24th, 2008, 6:08 PM

Just wondering if you guys mind if I add my TG track animation from way back when:

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u303/LurkerPatrol/top-gear-track-anim2.gif

I don't mind if it gets replaced with a shinier version, I'll definitely admit that mine isn't really HQ (I might in fact redo it when I get back to berk). My thought was at least for now there'll be something there to show where the corners are and how the power/celeb lap around the track is conducted.

Ps. I'll continue adding and updating season 4 once I get back to Berkeley.

By all means.

jayhawk · March 24th, 2008, 11:23 PM

It does help to see a bird eye view, since the way TG edits it can be confusing.

LurkerPatrol · March 25th, 2008, 1:31 AM

Thanks guys, I'm having an issue with the thumbnail showing up (probably because of the irregular size), but I've cut the size of the file from 389 KB to 189 KB so far.

If anyone wants to take a shot at cutting it down even further, please be my guest. I hate having no tools around.

Can you make the blob look like a birds eye view of the Lacetti - that would be cool?

Blayde · March 25th, 2008, 5:53 AM

That shouldn't be too difficult, provided you have a top view of a lacetti

Blayde · March 25th, 2008, 8:21 PM

Anyone hvae a top view picture of a Lacetti :/

I wanted to have a crack at it myself

Viper007Bond · March 26th, 2008, 1:21 AM

Honestly, you could probably just vector one in PS as it'll be so small.

Cobol74 · March 26th, 2008, 2:55 AM

How about google map/Local.live a Hyundai Dealer and cut one out from the forecourt overhead shot? Although it may be so small as not to worry really.

Blayde · March 26th, 2008, 6:45 AM

or we could just use a front angle one, would look just as good

Just use the Stig's white helmet > images/smilies/stig.gif

?

I was thinking of making a 3D one with this pic:

http://pic.phyrefile.com/b/bl/blayde/2008/05/29/01large.jpg

might be good, i just have to get the size right as he goes away and comes near the camera

LurkerPatrol · June 1st, 2008, 6:34 AM

^That's fucking brilliant, you should replace the current one with your stig version.

+repped as well.

Blayde · June 1st, 2008, 10:28 AM

I'm not sure which article to put it in...is there one with the red dot already on the wiki, cos i can't find that one.

LurkerPatrol · June 2nd, 2008, 12:47 AM

The image should be here: http://wiki.finalgear.com/wiki/Image:Tg_track.gif

I tried to load the page and it wouldn't, so I can't verify if it's still there or not. If it is though, feel free to replace it with your stig head version or the 3D version.

Blayde · June 2nd, 2008, 6:45 PM

Doesn't work for me either, so now we have a nice animation and nowhere to put it :p

Viper007Bond · June 2nd, 2008, 8:46 PM

The wiki is having trouble with that page. We dunno why.

[Mon 08:30:11] <Quiky> It keeps holding apache processes open on serving that retarded TG_track.gif

I'll update MediaWiki today and see if the problem goes away.

leviathan · June 20th, 2008, 10:17 PM

I created a small article about the track itself and used the animation there, it's great.

LurkerPatrol · June 23rd, 2008, 9:40 PM

^ Thanks for doing that. The image still isn't loading properly though. Does wiki not like .gifs?
