Official Automotive Rigs - DIY Thread

I just always take a static shot and comp it in, no way to sit still for that long I don't think.

Did some rigging today, it's been too long. I really tried to take the time and compose the image rather than just rig the car and point the camera. I'm not sure if it's done yet or not. I think I want to throw in some leaves blowing off the tires.

Well last night I was out again til 1am having some fun with an A4 on air bag suspension....

These looks epic guys!!!!! Love the mustang above too, such a clean shot! Would be even more spectacular if you perhaps waited a bit for some sun-down glow?? Love it though dude!

Yeah, looks like you guys are having fun, which is what rigging is all about!

Thank you! The day was very overcast and actually started raining just as I was packing up. We couldn't wait til sunset because we were both going to a watch party for the COTA F1 race. I agree, though, some golden-hour light would be really nice in that picture.

Some great work here! Love the angle and composition on the mustang shot! Some swishing autumn leaves would look good against the blue! Sammy's Audi shots are a lot of fun too!

Another rig shot but at a different location. Lighting was very orange here and a lot of work needed in pp to correct.

Here is the shot straight from camera and one after editing...

Wonderful shots mate, incredible work on the PP.. what a difference. May I ask what technique / process you followed in the correction?

Rigging the other evening! Snowed, rained, slushy, muddy.. but still managed!

Great car.
Handmade rig (6m) + 20 mm lense

Anyone heard of the PS plugin 'Virtual Rig'? Seen some examples of it .. haha renders the entire process of the rig useless!!

However - Rigging is actually so much more FUN than sitting at the computer "virtually" editing rig style photos IMO

It doesn't quiet render the same look in my opinion. It does have its place in the big scheme of things though.

Have you heard of Google images search? There are all these images, I mean, no one will ever need a camera again!

Yeah, VRS, Bleex, PSMPB, they all have their place, but not for real photographer's.

This doesn't even make sense dude hahaha, without camera's none of the images would exist (other than computer generated..)

I was simply asking if people have heard of it before, I hadn't. I don't have much interest as I said I more-so just enjoy the process of rigging - it making some side buck is just a bonus !

I don't need to spend $1200+ for a software that specific. it's a different effect than a real rig shot, plus the Path Blur tool in photoshop CC 2014 pretty much replaces it.
