sinbad Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I'd also like to thank everybody for chipping in to help organising and making sure the day ran smoothly. Especially Beavis for getting the numbers up and Jacko, I know it was stressful but it was worth it! The Biggest ever 350z meet! It was great to get to meet some new people and catch up with others. Everyone was "really nice" and it just goes to show what a good club we make. I'll post some pics and videos up as soon as i can. Liam (Liam's Z) - Your an absolute loony!! Glad you could come with us this time. Oh and yes, i did see Beavis kick ur arse in the drag! lol. Thanks all again, had a great day. More.....More....More................

michaelwr Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Good to see you all had a grand day out. Like the pics and I can compare all the colours, can't believe I'm starting to think red is maybe a better colour than black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It would appear that I didnt take enough photos during the big line up for the software I have to create a full panoramic shot. So, if anyone did take lots of shots during the lineup, front on views of the cars, feel free to email them to me or post them up - I may be able to get something great put together with enough overlapping shots from people. I took photos of cars in groups of three - it appears that I hould have overlapped by at least one or to cars each time and taken maybe three times the number of photos I did - still, you live and learn. I do have a slow video of the entire lineup from one end to the other, so perhaps may be able to take a load of stills from that and stitch them together into a panoramic shot. If people want to email me any pitures and videos they may have taken on the day, feel free to do so. At least then we can have them all in one central place to pass to the professionals amongst us who may be able to assist in the creation of the DVD etc. email: chesterfield"at"350z-uk.com If you cant email any video, once we know who will be assisting in th creation of the dvd, they can perhaps be posted to that individual and returned once the media has been created.

choptop Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 What a day! Great to meet everyone and put faces to names. Well done to the organisers. I know we all got split up en-route but there were a lot of us. GlenMH, Mrs GlenMH and myself came back through Wales. Some cracking roads. Hope to see you all soon. Don't forget the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean Meet/Drive in August. Can we beat the 30 Zeds at Lake Bala? PS bluelady nice one for turning up!

AndyC Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 What a FANTASTIC day!!!!! My missus well enjoyed it too which was quite surprising, I didn't even get told off for getting the back end out at every given opportunity, that said I did see her hands tighten on the seat and door handle quite a few times! But fair play, never one moan. I was absolutely knackered by the time we got back to Chester services, I think at 1 point I lost the ability to speak!! Thanks to everyone involved for setting this up, organising it, bullying people into attending, getting the pub sorted, keeping us all reasonably together, etc etc etc It really was an awesome, awesome day and the look on peoples faces as 30 odd Z's went past really was priceless. Great to meet a lot of new faces, sorry I didn't get chance to say hello to everyone. I'll post a link to pics as soon as I get chance to upload em, will try to sort today. In answer to Vals question - I was aiming for a bit more height for the shot, luckily he didn't take it about a second later when I ended up with 1 leg actually in the bin. Ah well........ Fortunately no casualties from the day either (except my brakes, I REALLY need some new pads now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What s/w are you using? Autostitch - http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html normally makes a good job of it. Otherwise, there used to be one built into Photoshop which you could manually intervene with. If you have all the full size pics up somewhere (web site or FTP),I could give it a go at some point for ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 The problem is I dont have enough overlap on the pics, so none of the software is capable at the moment. Im going to take a load of stills from the digital video footage and hopefully will have more success that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Doh. I have managed to save a few panos with Photoshops stitch before with very little overlap as you can manually tell it where to join them, however the outcome would probably be less than desireable. As you say, stills from the video footage should work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Right, here's mine finally uploaded.

Guest prescience Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Mike, Don't you have a graphics package you can phototexture these onto polygons with and then manipulate the texture co-ords. Not in that game anymore but we had to do a similar thing from Schiphol control tower a few years back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 the cars will get too distorted I would of thought. I don't have the software and it's also the probable reason why the stitch program uses scenery imagary as it's difficult to judge distorment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
