Need a nice panoramic entourage type image

[Cebby]

See that area up top? Where the logo is and the menu with messages, new posts, etc.? I'd like to put a nice wide image up there (behind that stuff) that shows a whole bunch of different trucks/4Runners. We'll do the work to make it work/fit, so all we need is a nice large file that we can alter. We will give it an effect like the background in the chat.

I wonder if oly would have anything like that...

I tapped him for the chatroom image - maybe he does... :D

[Bob98SR5]

mike i may have a good lineup shot from pismo 1

lemme search for it

[Cebby]

Thanks Bob.

[oly884]

I don't, sorry.

I live in MT where there are 5 toyotas. Heck I haven't ever been on a group run.

Had I, you bet I would have one, but sorry, nope.

[Bob98SR5]

mike i sent u a good one from the first pismo 4rj. did u get it/

[Cebby]

Yep - that's perfect! Exactly what I had in mind (I'll be stripping the color out). WTF, there's a Jeep in there....and a Nissan!

mike,

yeah, that xterra belongs to my friend from boston. he moved out there that summer. man, that thing was pimped out. he wud be a good toyota guy :)

chuck: that looks bad *******! i like how you let the image be the backround behind the logo too


bob

[Cebby]

That's the idea Bob. Charles - that's exactly what I meant.

But one issue - when you choose wide or narrow, it will hide the sides of the image - specifically I think it will cut off the first truck. I was thinking b & w, but I like what you did MUCH MUCH better. I figure if you go about 2000px wide x 160px high that would work. If you have more landscape to the right of the trucks, that would be better - I think the truck on the right needs to be where the second truck is. Could see that as a banner too!!

[TDiddy]

Good call on the Pismo pics - I will check mine later in the AM. Damn t-storm woke us all up.

[bamachem]

ok, finally found this thread again.

what if we had a library of images that would work in that area, and then built a script to select them at random for a background. it could be a way for members to submit pics (that were panoramic in nature or something like the one chuck did for fun)???

too much trouble?

[calrockx]

the width thing sure complicates it.

if you want, i'll build a template to use for the top. just figure out an exact size height wise, and max width and i'll put in whatever pics you guys come up with, with the UY logo always on the left side.

maybe the pictures should align to the left side, and then expand to the right, depending on which width option up top is set.

it'll be a bit of challenge to find pictures fitting the limited height and expanded width to suit our needs, but i'm sure between us and everyone we could round up a several to use for a rotating banner.

[neliconcept]

talk to Ric too, he has like a couple of gooooood lineup shots.

[96 Runner]

Here's one I took a while back at Crown King. I wish the rigs in the back were closer...

[Cebby]

IMO, we already have the vendor banners changing which constitutes enough movement up there for me (for now anyway). When I get back, we can have a look in depth at sizes, etc. Since the plan is to add some more menu items up there, I don't want too much going on. Charles - do you have that red tinted image? I'd like to play around with that one and see how it interfaces with the various widths. The logo and menu we have up there now will float over whatever is underneath.

[Cebby]

BTT

We're still looking for some images up there - we will probably have them rotate from time to time also. We'd like to get 5 good ones - we'll handle cropping and resizing - just post up what you've got...

[DHC6twinotter]

Mike, here are a few from SE4RJ-4. I should have larger sizes if needed.

This photo has Brian's, Will's, and Ryker's 4Runners in it.

Too bad the tow rigs are in the background on this one.

Bunch of stuff here:

Those may not be exactly what you are looking for, but you all are welcome to use them.
I'll see what else I've got.

[DHC6twinotter]

Just found this one on my PC. If it the top and buttom are cropped, this may work pretty nice.

[Cebby]

Those are some excellent pics. I'll play around with these images for sizing and will drop you a line for hi-res when needed. Thanks a bunch!!

[YotaFun]

The best one I have, I thought I Had a better one, many different generation trucks and runners in this pic.
