IncognitoChallenge - Final Rankings In!!
IncognitoChallenge - Final Rankings In!!
EDIT: The IncognitoChallenge is now completed.
Welcome to IncognitoChallenge Discussion!!
Y'all thought we were plumb outta new comp ideas? LOL, not by a long shot f00z!! This one brings in two big changes...
First, the hook here is anonymity. That's right, you will not be identified throughout the entire comp, and votes will be hidden untli the end. You must conceal you identty - reveal it to anyone except an admin and you're outta there!! Of course, this means that your profile name must NOT be shown on the entry.
Second, another first - you can now submit a pic taken from ANYWHERE in the game. You can take it in the showroom, in game, or even a mixture of both made into a composite pic. Again - be sure not to identity yourself on the pic.
Along with these, there's quite a simple car design rule - no vinyls or decals AT ALL. Easy!!
Ok, so come here to discuss the IncognitoChallenge. If you want to check the rules and demo car, head to the SR Challenge section and head into the IncognitoChallenge section. If you have any questions or just want to chat about the comp, here is the place to do it.
Good luck!! Remember, mum's the word!

How to make great pics of your car Guide
by bobyx
Step 1
Get fraps - http://www.fraps.com
Run the game.
Set the graphics settings to max and turn everything on, including motion blur (if available). Set the resultion to the max - don't worry about the low fps rate in game. You'll be taking pics remember?
And remove everything from the hud!
Step 2
Make your car. If your gfx is at least gf4 4200ti or radeon 8500, use chrome rims (row 1, col 3). That'll really improve the look of your car ingame.
Step 3
Go race. Select a track with lots of bright areas (inner city, market street). Drive to a bright section in the track.
When driving around 100km/h, start holding these keys at once: hand brake, left or right, back view, nitro (optional - makes your car stand out by blurring the environment). Hit the key for taking shots in fraps multiple times.
Do this lots of times.
Step 4
Review all pics (they are in the folder where you installed fraps - usually c:\fraps).
Select the best 2 or 3. Use one for the background, then paste just the cars from the other to to that pic. And don't use MS Paint. Try gimp - http://www.gimp.org
Rather then resizing the pic to 800x600, rather crop it. Also try brightening the pics up a bit if they're too dark.
Remember, make your car look good!
