Modeling of classic Brazilian wheels.
I recently decided to try my hand at modeling a dashboard and a few other things for a Camaro.
This time, with the intention of learning more about modeling in MODELLER, I made a wheel model that I particularly like, from the Binno brand, model B860.
I made a version with dds that simulate screws in the common drilling of Brazilian 4x98 cars (type XRGT_ALLOY2 and its 5 screws) and a version with 5 holes simulating a 5x100 drilling wheel.
I won't leave these here for download, I'll model other wheels that I like too, some I leave the file for download, at the moment only a few friends have used these.

There is an option in misc to automaticaly download other player skins when in multiplayer, but only in a very low resolution 256×256px. Those skins are placed in skins_x. All skins are converted to dds file format and kept in dds folder.
As a demo player, you can upload about 20 skins in 1024×1024px resolution, but one can also buy more skin slots including hi res 2048×2048px ones.

i've attached .rar for you. textures, shaders, everything.
just don't forget to backup lfs files before replacing. dds, pic, shaders folders.
16x16px dds + stuchlo cartoon reshade

I am sad, that people do not like the logo, but I am adding this suggestion to my todo list. It will be a part of a larger update (I do not want to waste disk space of players by such small cosmetic changes if I do not have to), when I will get more written feedback from the community (especially about physics and suitability for events and derivatives). As a temporary hotfix, you can locally modify the dds texture file (the model is optimized for online and VR use and has only one texture sheet).
Edit: It is optimized, but is not true that it has a single texture sheet. It has one simple (for mat materials) and one ALP texture sheet (for shiny and alpha materials and effects). The logo is located in the ALP texture.

well, after some rest, I am not rly sure my thing actually does anything good
those zero divide errors maybe just make the shader bypass the blur and any better feeling is achieved with texture filtering settings
A different approach with post processed textures (.dds) and a contour filter would give better results
I dont rly like cartoon rendering, it reminds me old bad experiences at work as I have been working on some TV cartoon serie made in 3D with cartoon post processes, and that was a predicted total fail.
But I have a passion for post processing since forever, and noise as the primordial soup from wich harmony emerges.
I may have another try at it. sorry for the noise.

I'd highly doubt it, as LFS is a simulator, not an arcade game. You could (somewhat) easily achieve what you're looking for by running all the .dds files through a cartoon filter.

Cartoon textures
Has anyone made a fullpack covering all dds textures for a Cartoon style? simplifying them to the "FR Legends" style
I thought a lot about putting this idea into practice, but knowing if anyone has already done it would be interesting, especially to see how it looks in practice.
LFS is already very light, but with textures like this it would be light and pleasant to play with non-detailed textures.

Here's drag&drop LFS folder onto bat feature, else uses default path.
@echo off
set LFS_PATH=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\LFS
if not "%1" == "" set LFS_PATH=%1
echo Compressing LFS files from "%LFS_PATH%"

if %errorlevel%==0 (echo Task completed successfully)^
else echo Something went wrong.

LFS create backup for transport
I have two computers and wanted to transport, via cloud, LFS settings, setups, views, layouts etc, except large and unnecessary folders as well.
Therefore, I created this .bat file to do it automatically and produce one highly compressed .7z file without the unnecessary folders (you need to have 7zip installed, obviously).
1- Copy what is inside the # # to a .txt file (or download), save, rename to .bat
1.5 - If your LFS folder name is not LFS, replace the ..\LFS\ for whatever your folder name is
2- Place the .bat file in the LFS root directory (...\LFS)

Info: the -xr! is the wildcard to not compress that folder specifically, the search is recursive

How do you us GIMP to edit mod skins? I have edited and exported the new skin as a .dds file in the LFS/mods/skins_dds/the car I want to add the skin to. Is this right?
The engine has a V8 cylinder, but V6 in the pit?
Hand animation looks bad outside the steering wheel
Even without the shader, the inside of the mod is very black. It's bad to even think about it with the shader on..
There is no passenger seat but there is a back seat (not sure)
You put the rear seat dds in the drawing at the back, it looks ridiculous lol
It looks terrible because you are playing with the points of the vehicle, and there are holes in the engine.

Hi! Here's the file. Copy it to "LFS\data\dds"
You can make a copy of your dds folder and paste the night mode textures there, then rename folders back and forth, and you can do that while the game is running but you will need to type /rtex to reload textures
Still inconvinient but works
Yeah, it's possible by copying a few dds files back and forth, but it's not practical at all.
Blackwood mods [textures]
Decided to make a Forum to upload Blackwood Textures (DDS) Files
And share it with the community. For letting everybody knows
This is legal rights to change DDS files
And trying to make this forum safe
Here it's a Silverstone Texture that i made.

Options - Graphics - Shadow type-off, Full-scene AA and mirror AA-none, textures-low res
Options - Misc - Maximum buffered frames 2, Full physics for remote cars-no
Ctrl+Alt+del after u start the game - task manager - details tab - right click lfs.exe - set priority-high
Killing background processes like browser, discord and etc will also help
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/99913
And finally a must-have for weak integrated gpus (install in LFS/dds folder)

MRc E-Challenge Round 3 Enhancement
Hello racers,
we have made a little visual enhancement of tonight's racing environment
In the attachment please find the modified skybox texture you can use for bigger immersion. If you want to do so, please make a backup of the original file, which is located in the ...LFS/data/dds folder, and then place there the file attached here. You may need to reload the texture to enable the effect in already running instance of LFS.
Good luck and have fun!

Editor E8 has an option to exclude the PNG files for faster upload.
Option to include or exclude PNG textures when exporting for upload
- Exclude PNG to reduce file size and allow a faster upload
- This does not affect the appearance of a mod in game
- The PNG textures are not required for a functioning mod
- DDS (in-game textures) are included whichever option you choose
- PNG files can be useful if you allow derivatives of your mod
