The Listening

[Mystical]

Base: N7R
Logos: LIGHTS Website
Templates: SS.net template
#'s: by N7R, created in After Effects CS4
Render Scenes: N7R

This is a special scheme I painted up for an offline series I run. If you don't know what the sponsor for this car is I'll enlighten you. LIGHTS is a singer who does Dream pop type music. When I first heard her music from her album 'The Listening' I had to make a car. So . . . I did.

Enjoy =)

Nice car! Never heard about her before, but this tells more about me than her. Also, i find very interesting that you used AE to make the numbers! AE have some very nice effects! A good idea!! :yes:

Hey, nice scheme! Nice job playing with the colors!

I just wanna ask:

Will there be an alternate scheme? I saw "Standard Scheme" above the pic.

yeah I have a very methodical method to painting cars for NR2003.

1) I use photoshop to paint the design of the base

2) While using Photoshop I use Maya 2011 to view the car and make sure the base
is all lined up and stuff. I prefer Maya over 3DS Max any day =)

3) I bring the base into After Effects and add, logos, sponsors, create the #'s and any extra effects to the base that AE can do easier and better than Photoshop can do.

4) I render using Maya 2011 and the custom scenes I built.

5) Back in After Effects I composite the render together.

6) Profit

Will there be an alternate scheme? I saw "Standard Scheme" above the pic.

I usually just have that to clarify this is the main design, any extra alternate schemes I may come up with I tag as 'special' schemes. This ranges anywhere from changing the base colors or colors on the car template. As for this LIGHTS car, this is a standalone scheme. I plan to hopefully run it for a night race since it fits the night time better =)


thanks everyone else for the comments too =)
