[Ovmsdev] Vehicle Images

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

So far, we have good images for Tesla Roadster and Vauxhall Ampera.

The Roadster is 100% perfect for all manufacturer colours - arctic white, brilliant yellow, electric blue, fushion red, glacier blue, jet black, lightning green, obsidian black, racing green, radiant red, sterling silver, thunder gray, twilight blue, and very orange.

The Ampera has good front-angle view images for the manufacturer colours - black, crystal red, cyber bray, lithium white, power blue, sliver topaz, sovereign silver, and summit white. It has only a single xray and map image (and the map image is not very good).

We don't have anything for Twizy or Volt at the moment. Both have lots of good artwork available on the web, but would need photoshopping to get them into the right format.

The Twizy is most urgent (given the state of progress on firmware support for that vehicle, and the fact we have Ampera images at the moment which are pretty close to the Volt).

Any volunteers to help with these missing artwork?

Thanks, Mark.

P.S. I found this site - http://www.conceptcarz.com  - pretty amazing image collection.

P.P.S. Samples below, and all original images in car images, car outlines, and carmapimages of the Open-Vehicle-iOS github project.
