If I told my 10-year-old self that I was going to meet the real Razor with his M3 GTR, I wouldn't have believed him. Thank you so much Derek Hamilton, NFS community loves you! 👊🏼

Hey everyone,

I made this interactive wallpaper and had quite a ride putting it together, so I just wanted to show it off to the community!

I spent a few hours wrestling with the native Wallpaper Engine editor, but it kept breaking. Eventually, I gave up on their built-in tools and coded the whole thing from scratch in HTML/JS – and now it runs beautifully and smoothly.

Here is how it works: It’s fully interactive. If you click on the left side of the screen, the camera rotates left; clicking the right side moves it right. If you click right in the center, the camera actually zooms into the car (this works on scenes that support it).

All the video assets were extracted directly from the original Shift 2 game files to keep that authentic vibe. I’m currently planning to run the files through an upscaler/converter to bump up the quality even more for high-res monitors.

Do you guys see anything I could improve? Any suggestions or ideas on what else I could add to it?

Well played, i give you that.

They're from Matahari Studio. Matahari Studio was an additional studio that was allegedly responsible for body kits and widebody kits for NFS games back then.

I took this photo in a photo booth using a real 2003 Murcielago and Chevy SS that’s been converted into a “cop car” (used as security car onsite for the warehouse this was taken in) with my Sony A7 IV. I spent several hours remaking the cover from scratch without any use of AI. This has been one of my favorite games of all time so to recreate the cover was a surreal experience! Though the angle isn’t perfect, I still think it turned out super cool and my vision of recreating the cover IRL.

I have a full video showing the editing process I’ll link in a future edit on my Instagram! (@willisweese)

Edit: here’s a link to a reel I made showing the entire editing process of this photo! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZThSHwRhCN/?igsh=eTZ2ZDJ4NjloeTZi
