COMMUNITY : FORUMS : RIDE

Could you take another pic to prove that the lot isn't empty? Maybe semi-invisible, or something. Or put a sign on the top of the car?

*sigh* the lot is empty. There is no invisible car. I was joking about the invisible car.

its impossibal to ''clock'' some thing try CRYSIS

i kinda figured u were

Dude, stop trying to post in every single forum category.

ok,sorry ill stop.......

I didn't want to blame you, and start a flame war! If you could do it that well, you could vanish houses, while making it look like a car.

I see it.

that car at the edge of the picture is a different car that just got in our shoot. The car is in teh middle of the lot.

I didn't even see that honestly.

lol, I have succeeded in making a TRUE invisible car!

I agree...
^{Provided she's not stoned off her but, Lohan is hawt...}

Lohan is hawt? You're right, she's probably on fire. ^{most likely caused by a rash...}

Ahh come on, be nice to the celebrities :D

You're crazy if you think she's attractive...

Not to mention the whole Samantha Ronson bit...

Yada yada... *has Lohan as of Herbie Fully Loaded as mental image*

Too right... She's young Britney Spears!

How do I know it's even there?

Its a joke based off the story called "the emperor's new clothes"

What? Aren't you smart enough to see the car (that's not there)?

yeah! I made that car! (jk)

:-) I loved that story as a kid. But it has HUGE political implications in this day and age.

He is joking!

yeah i am.

Yeah lol

on the first photo they are definitely there , but on the second , its dark and no ambient light is present , and as its wire frame , the shadows will be almost invisible

Under the car. Under the artist's chin. Under the picnic table in the upper left background. From the consistent position of those shadows, I infer that the picture was taken pretty close to local solar noon, presumably to get the best lighting. You can also take a look at the other links I posted below, which show different views of the vehicle in position, including one where the forced-perspective is out of alignment. For the wire sculpture car, the picture(s) were taken at night with a flash. If you have ever done any exterior night photography, then you will already be familiar with the lack of shadows, since the flash induces shadows directly behind the subject. If you don't know that, then I'm not sure that you have the expertise necessary to judge whether something's been digitally modified or not.

nice, lighting burn

:'D

Sometimes the only thing you can do is link to the relevant xkcd...

:-) As much fun as inserting "no pun intended" randomly in conversation.

It took some searching, but I found a blog with two pictures, as well as a link (via rabble.ca) to an off-alignment picture from her local paper.

From any other angle, in fact even from some other distance, the image wouldn't look anything like "transparent." It would just be a weirdly painted car. Take a look at the Forced-Perspective I'ble for another example of the same technique.

That's exactly my point - I'm still thinking this might be a little less than honest until I see one of those 'this car isn't invisible at all' pictures.

The first picture demonstrates camouflage. Still her disclaimer is pretty much summed up in the article with: Ms Watson, a second year student, said: "I was experimenting with the whole concept of illusion but needed something a bit more physical to make a real impact."

Ah! Yes, I see your point, and it makes sense. In the I'ble I posted, the author explicitly included pictures from other angles to demonstrate the power of the illusion.

I guess that, since it was meant to be art, rather than an engineering or graphic design tutorial, such practicalities would detract from the artistic merit of the endeavor.
_{^{Warning! Sarcasm alert!}}

Quite makin' me jealous!!

Quit fail.

:P

Aww...

Kiteman WIN

Example of car that would draw MY attention away:

what????? really???? that's bad... :( this is one of the best looking car from that era...!!!

 In a positive manner

Example of a car that would draw MY attention away:

Jeese. I bet I can roller skate faster...

you most probably do... good bet

Have at it.

I love top gear! Mostly because the short one was the host of Brainiac.

And the tall one was the host of Robot Wars.

Really? I never watched Robot Wars, but I think I can speculate on the content.

>sniggers<

Aww, it is not working...

:(

Just go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJfSS0ZXYdo, then

I take it you're a fan of the Stingray? Me too.

Very much so. I've set a Two Year Plan to save up enough money to buy a C3 from 1980-82, repaint it, drop a new flex-fuel engine in it (out of a Suburban maybe?), completely redo the interior, paint it blue with silver racing stripes and go be awesome in it :D If I had the money I'd get a C2, or even better, a split window ('64) :D Needless to say I want the cheapest POS I can get that the body is still in decent shape.

I failed to see any a literal connection that says the car was painted

it was in bold too D:
