They are very nice Simon, they'd make a great series of postcards. Stick Santa in one and make yourself a holiday card! -- don New GPL Programs for the Converted Tracks: http://www.ianparker.co.uk/gpl/bapom/

If anyone is interested i've put up a page of GPL watercolour artwork at http://www.sbdev.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/gpl/gpl.htm . It's *not* real paintings, just GPL screenshots filtered in an art package, but they're pretty convincing I think. Lots of graphics = slow page, so be warned. Enjoy :) Simon.

Those would make good Windows wallpaper (especially the first pic). In fact... yoink!... just did that!! Hope you don't mind the "theft".

I...like them. Nice effect. I'll bet Road & Track would buy one...if they didn't know where it came from. --Steve Smith Simon Brown <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:jI%V5.10114$[email hidden]... > If anyone is interested i've put up a page of GPL watercolour artwork at > http://www.sbdev.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/gpl/gpl.htm . > > It's *not* real paintings, just GPL screenshots filtered in an artpackage, > but they're pretty convincing I think.

Yes, what filter/application did you use? It's more effective than anything I have seen before. -- Mark Croasdale ICQ 21549408 Sideshow Bob <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > "Simon Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:jI%V5.10114$[email hidden]... > > It's *not* real paintings, just GPL screenshots filtered in an art > package, > > but they're pretty convincing I think.

Well done Simon those are really very cool. They make such lovely Desktop backgrounds. I must try the same with my Flanker 2 screenshots. (Flanker 2 is the most absolutely gorgeous looking flight sim around) Thanks -- Some Call Me Tim
I've had a thought - A lot of motor racing art has a very blurry bgnd. You could maybe capture 4 frames in succession, and merge them together. Seing as the camera tracks the car - it wouldn't change much The background would move loads though!! Then add all the effects as before! Just an idea?!?!?!

Very nice. Just gave me some ideas for a (non sim-related) site i'm working on. I prefer the term "inspired by" than "plagerised from". :-) DG
