914 Visualizer Version 1.2 Rollout, more functions, working on the gallery Options

With notification of replies to the thread "the flared creamsicle' choking up my inbox for 3 weeks now, I've been prompted to making the 'configurator' I've been thinking about that uses a photo of a 3/4 view instead of the vector drawing side view that those things always use.

I've included a lot of options including paint finish (matte/ gloss), ride height, early and late as well as a 916 bumper. It is sweet to see in a 3/4 view what the car looks like with and without flares - that was the hardest part. I've got options so far for painted sails, vinyl sails, textured black targa, painted targa, 916 top, and also a no roof option. The roof as well as the sails and the bumper I've got an option to make them a secondary color (primary and secondary colors you have to choose from 1 of the 36 available stock colors). I've got a few badges done. Currently just gasburners, but I've got some fuchs ready to go on and I plan to do steelies, rivs, deep fuchs, 4 lug gasburners, 2.0 fuchs, and pedrinis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) There are some mirror options: stock, 911, and the monacle from the 8. It's minor in the shot but will do option for 1 or 2 mirrors. Also, Euro taillights or us; working on option for the 'wart'. Anyway, I'd planned on finishing the color change on the rocker panel and an option of a PORSCHE decal and the option to color it. I should be ready to post a beta maybe tonight maybe tomorrow night. I'm working on options for euro license plate, cali plate, and the ability to enter custom text. I had a cool idea that may take some playing with to be able to set the wheel offset on a slider.

The one thing I really need is a photo of an LE rear valence, as I've currently only got the cutout one, and can't find a good shot of any of the others at the angle I need. Can any one post a shot of a creamsicle orientated similarly to the shot below? I can skew and rotate and distort a similar pic to work but need it about the size below and close to the camera angle.

Finally it's coming together. Enough to post an update and the new link. I'd updated yesterday with some changes, but maybe caches need clearing? It is a new link now

914 Visualizer

I renamed it - seemed appropriate and easy. I've fixed all the big issues from before. Still some glitches in the bumpers. Evened out the body shading and seems all around. Added some wheels, sail trim option. Check out the jack stand option (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

There is still the wheels colors to do, and the 4 lug wheels for that matter. The wheel offset slider will be sweet but not yet. I'll have to make the background scale from the middle. The slider is however working and it being a swf dile instead of html it opens so a back ground image can fill the screen. -edit that made it scale down. I'll have to do that later (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

Try cutting and pasting this one in and scaling it up. (I will have to make it start at maximum scale as it goes to the middle presently). Copy and paste the url below into the 'background image' box and hit load. It is big so it takes a few seconds. (make preloader?)
