Car avatars

[RedSparrow]

Where do people get their car avatars from? (Like VWpowereds' one)Is there a website or do you make them yourselves?It is Sunday and I am bored and I want one.

I've wondered this before as well, so I'd be interested in finding out.

There's a few free photoshop-esque things you can download to do all sorts of things to pictures, I like PHOTOSCAPE and PAINT.NET, but if all you want to do is resize a picture then PIXRESIZER is pretty easy and quick, since it only does one thing.

My avatar is of some random old Sherpa that languishes up a track behind the house my family goes on holiday to on the Island of Arran.

I thought RS mean't the one's along the bottom in your signature bit?.

[RedSparrow]

Yeah trigger is right.I can resize pictures ok, I just wondered if there was a program to 'cartoonise'(?) photos?

If you look on YouTube the is often an ad there to cartoonificate portraits, might work for cars.

 

Come to think of it some of the FCF guys have done it - I will investigate further.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll be back!

 

 

ETA: I have put a request in to one of the guys using it.

the basic polo from my sig came from here

then via photoshop, i added the more personal bits to make it as true to mine, saved that then made up 8 images with timmy the sheep and make it up into a gif..

 

et voila

Unfortunately he can't remember precisely where he got it but he modified it anyway.

He has suggested the following sites:

is his avatar.

Thats a signature file.

MyGlaren's avatar is the red haired girl.

 

The word derives the from Sanskrit word avatarah which is the term for an incarnation of a deity.

Dead right on both counts, it is a sig file and she is a French deity.
