Nsra New Product Of The Year!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Blaz-air · 08-11-2004, 03:14 PM

Ok I know that this is a shameless self promo but I just couldnt hold back anymore. We won the NSRA's new product of the year award last week at the Street Rod Nats in Louisville. I have to say that this is one of the coolest things to happen to us. I did a new little web demo and though I would post it for you guys to see.

Web demo

Later guys

WOW!

That is VERY amazing.

3 things:
1. How much? Where? Website? Info please! (I tried just virtuwheel.com, but no sucess...)
2. Where can I see more of that truck?

3. I wish I knew how to use my Camtasia...

smokekiki · 08-11-2004, 03:29 PM

Congrates!!Looks like it is fun to use too!Is there a suburban on the software?

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-11-2004, 03:35 PM

meathead95 · 08-11-2004, 04:43 PM

I have 2 questions.
1. can you upload a pic of your own vehicle on their?
2. do you have a 1972 2wd blazer and a 1972 swb 4x4 on their?
if either answer is yes i want the software.

**Yukon Jack** · 08-11-2004, 05:33 PM

Sweet, congrats!

**smitty62** · 08-11-2004, 06:27 PM

I'd buy one in a heartbeat if you could use a '67/'68 Stepside-----no use to me otherwise.

Blaz-air · 08-11-2004, 06:51 PM

smitty..... would 69-72 be close enough?

**smitty62** · 08-11-2004, 07:28 PM

Yes, if it's a stepside

68C10 · 08-11-2004, 10:46 PM

Congratulations Blaz-air. You've been working on that for a long time.

68C15 · 08-11-2004, 11:22 PM

THAT IS SOOOOO SWEEET!!!
I WANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks like I am getting myself an early B-day gift.
BTW, how does that work? do you upload a pic of your own ride & then start playing?

68LSS1 · 08-12-2004, 12:49 AM

I'd buy it also if it had a stepside.

Orange '71 GMC · 08-12-2004, 07:27 AM

If you guys will check out the HOK Store that he mentioned earlier, then you will learn a little more about it.

Here is a list of the Available Vehicles for the Single Version.
Here is a list of the Available Vehicles for the Full Version.
I didn't read anywhere where you could put your own vehicle into the software. I don't know if this will ever be an option though, Carter?

**gregfull** · 08-12-2004, 07:56 AM

Carter,

I'm building a 72 Suburban and I'm really in need of this software. Is there any way that you can write a 72 Suburban into the software for manipulation? I'd be willing to help out with the cost of this depending on how much. My Sub is almost at paint stage. Thanks for the help, and great work on the software.

Joe67 · 08-12-2004, 01:56 PM

If we purchase the single version, we can use any of the vehicles provided as often as we wish?

I'm intereted in hearing about being able to upload our own pics as well...

70short · 08-12-2004, 02:03 PM

That is way COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!

Blaz-air · 08-12-2004, 02:25 PM

Hi guys, thanks for all the positive responses. The program works from a database of vehicle. This means that you pick ONE vehicle from the database (49.95 version) and that is the vehicle that comes on the CD. The user interface is QUICK and SIMPLE and the level of detail in the paint jobs is amazing. Now about uploading your own.......OUCH! the 64 thousand dollar question.... and here is my response. PHOTOSHOP!!!!! You see, you can scan in your own image and do all this in photoshop already, so why reinvent the wheel. Our software is for the guys who dont want to take the YEARS to learn photoshop to this level and be able to get killer results in just minutes. Our moto is "CLOSE, QUICK". I know that the import your own vehicle thing would be awesome but as things stand right now, this is not doable in a very easy to use interface. We are constantly adding vehicles to the database. You almost have to see the software in action to really appreciate what all it does. I will be adding more trucks and cars SOON. So this might make a great Christmas present to yourself or a friend.... HAHAHAHAHAH

smokekiki · 08-12-2004, 02:31 PM

I will second the 67-72 suburban,prefer 67-68!

Joe67 · 08-12-2004, 02:33 PM

Thanks for the info Carter

**gregfull** · 08-12-2004, 04:59 PM

Thanks Carter. Please let us know when more vehicles are available. If I purchased a full version, would future vehicles that are released at a later date be available to me? Maybe as a support package, where you would recieve updates of the software as well?

Thanks again.

*Shane* · 08-12-2004, 07:16 PM

Hey Blaz-air ... were you in the HOK booth at Louisville? I stopped by and played around with the software for a few minutes, but didn't think to ask anyone if the "inventor" was around.

BTW: The HOK booth had people standing around playing with the software ALL day ... or at least they did the 4 times I passed by the booth.

smbrouss70 · 09-07-2004, 04:21 AM

Ditto on what gregfull asked.

Blaz-air · 09-07-2004, 10:29 AM

gregfull and smbrouss70, If you buy the full version you get updates for a year. If I add a few vehicles we will send you that new CD out to you if you are within the year of purchase. I will be adding a blazer, suburban and a stepside in my November update!

Carter

**gregfull** · 09-07-2004, 10:45 AM

Great!!! Please let us know when you get that November update out there. My check will be in the mail. Thanks for the help!
