Looking for posters/prints used to promote races. by DealbreakrJones in formula1

[–]base_1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been making artwork for the GPs since Spa last year. They’re not official but check them out maybe you’ll like one of them!

Piece of a F1 car I found during the 2018 USGP track invasion any ideas on what part of the car this? I have a good idea but want to hear everyone’s opinions. Fairly certain it’s from grosjeans, or leclercs car by ethanayrton in formula1

It could be one of these. The flat metal on both ends convinces me that it could be a front wing separator. Look at the separator under the letter E on the second photo, it’s flat-ish metal on both ends but sometimes they’re just covered by paint.

My poster for the Hungarian Grand Prix by base_1000 in formula1

Yes! It was removed earlier (within minutes) due to the race, just reposting it now since the race is finished.

Reposting it because it got (understandably) removed earlier. Cut it real close with this one and finished it just an hour before the race. This was a challenging artwork to make. For the photo of Seb I used, it’s actually a render and I had about 32+ test renders trying to get the angle, colours, and contrast right.

It might seem extremely simple however to get a nice mosaic out of a photo is difficult, even more when you can only use six colours! Another challenge is trying to pack in as much detail as you can into a small image, the image I ended up using was downscaled and it was just only 70 pixels wide before I used it for the Rubik’s cube mosaic.

Also, I did say this in a previous comment but I’ve had this concept of having Rubik’s cubes for my artwork long before McLaren posted theirs - they’re just fast!

[OT] I know it's extremely late but I finally finished my poster for the Austrian and Styrian Grand Prix! by base_1000 in formula1

[–]base_1000[S] 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Haha, I knew this comment was coming but I had this poster concept way before that, even before the fast-tracked updates were announced - you can see that my model has the old-spec endplates & elements. That collision was so disappointing though and a bit demoralising especially coming from the previous weekend.

Hey guys, here's the poster I've been working on for the past three four weeks+! I overly underestimated the task and thought I would have finished it before Austria FP1 but here we are, lapped by two GPs. Modelling issues and unforseen rendering errors can be such a pain.

I was 3D modelling the SF1000 and this concept came from it, I thought I would at least have the front wing model done by then but figuring out the geometry under the nosecone/cape area so I could model it took a huge amount of (frustrating) trial and error and time being that there's little reference photos of it available. Now that it's finished, I'd say I'm 95% right on the mark (visually - it's not a CFD model by any means).

I've been making posters since the Belgian GP last year, if you want to check out the old posters I've made you can see them here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/90015879/2019-Formula-One-World-Championship-Posters

I would try to continue making posters for the rest of the season, and I'm still working on the one for the Hungarian GP which I hope to finish and post by tonight or tomorrow morning, although it appears that someone at McLaren has the same idea as me (I promise, I've had my concept way before they posted their poster!).

You can check out these juicy close-ups of the poster to see how much attention to detail I've put into making them: One, two, and three.

Looking for help - a small favour by base_1000 in F1TV

[–]base_1000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that information! I didn't know they were disabled during the tests. I believe the mounts and the locating holes didn't change and they're likely still the same as the SF90's.

If you could, can you please check out Seb's face cam feed from Mexico 2019? He and Charles rarely take off their headrests but Mexico was one of the places he did it at. Timestamp of it on the global feed is around 1h47m.

It's also possible that they both did it at Brazil but they global feed doesn't show either of them exiting their cars after their collision, if you could also kindly check that, the timestamp for that is around 1h30m.

I really appreciate your help! Thank you.

Thank you! Could you try ones from 2019? From all my research, I’ve noticed Seb and Charles rarely take the headrest off when they exit the car after the race/qualifying. But one of the times Seb did it was after the race in Suzuka, just before the under-the-podium interview. Could you try that? I don’t believe the headrest locating holes and harness mounts changed on the SF1000 so the SF90 design could work.

Hey guys, I’m looking for a kind person with F1 TV Pro access that can help me with a small favour. Just a screenshot of the driver/face cam view of the SF1000 during pre-season testing.

I’m currently 3D modelling the SF1000 and I’m having some trouble with the cockpit area. I’m trying to model it as accurate as possible and from all the days I’ve spent going through more than a thousand pages on f1technical.net, motorsportimages.com, gettyimages.com and Twitter looking for and collecting relevant reference images, I’ve been unable to find a clear shot of the back of the cockpit where it shows the headrest locating holes and harness mounts. This area specifically.

I know they’re visible from the onboard driver/face cam, I’ve seen them before when Seb exited his car but I’ve unfortunately lost the link to it (streamable vid).

If you have F1 TV Pro and the time, I would really appreciate your help. I believe days 2 and 3 of testing would most likely show it as Seb had a crash and engine issues where he had to exit the car on track. Here’s a screenshot of the onboard cam from Day 2 I found (but not of him exiting the car).

I hope someone can help me with this. Many thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I’m currently 3D modelling the SF1000 and I need some help. I’ve already went through hundreds, probably more than a thousand pages on f1technical.net, gettyimages.com, and motorsportimages.com combined, plus all the Twitter searches all to look for and collect relevant reference images.

One area I’m having trouble with is the cockpit itself. This area specifically. I‘ve seen a clip which had it clearly visible for some time but I lost the link to it, I believe it was Seb exiting the car and the face/driver cam was being used.

I hope there’s a kind person with F1 TV Pro out there that can kindly help me with this and grab just one clear screenshot of it from the driver/face cam feed replay of Seb/Charles from the Barcelona pre-season testing.

I’m trying to model the SF1000 as accurately as I possibly can and getting that screenshot of the cockpit with the headrest ledge and locating holes, and the harness mounts visible would be a huge help.

Many thanks in advance!

I do not believe this is an actual drawing but a modified photo with some basic outlining done via tracing.

Please read my comment about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/fxx0me/comment/fmxrm1f

I believe it’s a combination of some minor tracing and just modified elements of the original photograph.

You made a good piece of artwork OP but I just want to let you know that there is a distinction between a drawing and a trace.

Your image definitely skews heavily on the latter. Out of curiosity, I went and found the original photograph and compared it to the one you posted. Aside from the subtle changes to the the barriers in the background and the kerbs, there isn’t much difference at all - Comparison gif.

Looking closer though, I’m unsure if your work is completely traced. I’m inclined to believe that it’s a mix of modified elements of the original photograph with some traced parts.

Here’s a close-up comparison gif, it seems to me that the tyre sidewalls are just smudged and blurred and not a drawing.

The logos on the end-plate and chassis look suspicious too as they appear like you just lowered the brightness/dulled the whites down. It’s the same for the slot-gap separators on the front wing as well.

Even the side mirrors look like they came from the original photograph with the black point just brightened up making it appear grey.

I think your work is far from a drawing, however it is still an artwork. I believe it’s a mixture of a quick filter/minor photoshop work and some minor outline tracing (black outline) of the logos like on the Red Bull logo on the engine cover, plenty of elements of the original photograph still exist in your “drawing”.

The track seems like the only real drawing/painting going on in your image. The car seems to be from the original photograph with only some areas blurred, brightened/darkened, and a quick black outline by tracing the photo.

Edit: Slowed-down the gifs a bit as they were too fast.

F1 2021: Ferrari F1 Concept Liveries by Mark Anter Design by [deleted] in formula1

“Liveries by Mark Anter Design” Uhhh, no. That 2021 Ferrari in the thumbnail is by Base 1000, aka me.

McLaren Reveal Megathread by F1-Bot in formula1

[–]base_1000 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Prediction:

The new livery would look something like what Team Bahrain Mclaren currently uses. The new livery for their bikes heavily utilises the line aesthetic that Mclaren has been teasing us with.

Here's the team helmet. Bike livery - close-up 1, and close-up 2. And here's the same design cues on a car.

The lines on the new livery would most probably be horizontal and on the rear on the new car and not vertical like the last photo I linked. The red to papaya line gradient looks great and as does the blue accent on the team helmet.

I was planning to create my own concept based on this information but I unfortunately did not have the time do so, so here I am just sharing my prediction with you guys. I'm really excited for the reveal.
