Quote from troy :

Thanks for all the hard work I was waiting for some higher res fernbay.

One problem I've found: You can see a lot of flickering going on coming to T1 at Fernbay Gold/Club/Black. After investigating the cause it seems to be some weird texture usage on Eric's part, he reuses the start finish line texture again in T1 which in turn causes flickering, if I replace that texture it is completely gone, only problem is that the start finish line is gone too with that rather crude fix.

Picture one: Original JA_roadxtras.dds -> flickering
Picture two: JA_roadxtras.dds replaced with JAroad_t1.dds -> no flickering





Maybe you can do a better job and somehow get rid of the flickering while having a start finish you can see Lynce?

Hi, Troy, How are you?

Yeah. I see that enormous trouble in the texture development and I did make some tests to try to fix it without good results. Even change the range of the size (16:9).

I see that is a change and you can find a solution. Congratulations, brother. But I think If you change the texture as you did I think that affect to other parts of the track, but I'm not sure because I didn't make as you did it.

Some time ago, people talked about the same trouble and they have commented that is a trouble of the Ati's graphic cards. I think it is an incomplete information.

Thank you very much by your interesting post.

Quote from Flame CZE :

That’s not entirely true. I can see the flickering even with the original texture, which is 1024x1024.

I saw that too. By that reason I did not more tests or changes.

Quote from Specht77 :

Just tested it, and LOVED it! great work Lynce!

Thanks!!

Quote from Pasci :

Great work Lynce

Some minutes ago I'm driving Fern Bay with the new textures (>300 MB of Graphic Card memory used - never before in LFS )... beautyfull!

But I've found a missing texture. Have a look at the attached image.

I think is an internal trouble in the Live for Speed texture mapping.

Thanks for your support, my friend.

Fantástico!

Thanks/Obrigado!

Obrigadinho irmao. Gosto que ti gostes do meu trabalho. Perdoa o meu portugues mais nao e bom.


Thanks you, brother. I like you like my work. Sorry for my portuguese because it's not correct at all.

Quote from ACCAkut :

@ Scawen/Victor: well, isn't it time to at least give this guy a "Semi-Dev" status?

unbelievable what you can get out of that old DX8 engine Lynce

this should really be included in the normal download, especially for all those full motion sims running on exhibitions. You can see the difference on a 6m x 4m beamer canvas.

WoW!!

Amazing comment. Thanks!!

I recognize that when I was working in this track I didn't believe in that changes were fabulous, really. That was a surprise for me. I'm very happy with this changes and people can enjoy this textures, of course. That last is the most important for me.

Quote from The Very End :

I hope that in the future you find the will and energy to do the same work on the other tracks

My LFS now use 1300mb texture memory in game haha

Hehehehe. Even more in future, brother.

Quote from Speed Senna :

:faint:

Hahaha, thanks!

Quote from Jason1984 :

Would like to say thanks for all your hard work Lynce and effort into this pack. Really shines LFS in all directions! The look of it just makes the overall experience much better!

Take time to rest because of your hardwork you put into FernBay. We shall see you next year for the other tracks

Thank you, brother.

Well, perhaps I can make another stuff. Some files to complete this track and sounds (I do not mean engine sounds). Menu and LFS sounds.

I'm not sure if I can make some interesting thing here but I can try it.

I was thinking, also to make some demo content but I really think lfs community give me the idea. Wich car or wich track.

Anyway, I have to say the same thing, to be honest with me and everybody, I don't know if the quality go to be good.

Quote from FireMike15 :

Thanks for this Lynce, that was very professional work from you, as always.
I take my hat for you sir.

Thanks as always, my friend.
I'm glad to read you always in my most important moments in these forums.
Hehehehehe.
Even with everybody, of course.

Quote from AlienT. :

Great job mate, I'll have to fire LFS up again when I get home. Pity the developers don't seem to have the same passion.....but we won't go there again

Thank you, mate.

In my humble opinion if I may, I think LFS developers work so hard in the beginning. That gives a lot of motivational wear.

I think the philosophy and this way of work is free and we have to accept it.

Anyway I really think they are honest with us and I really think Live for Speed has a lot of life and I think it can still be updates.. What I believe is that if this project was dead, developers would tell us. I believe in their honestly.

Quote from DANIEL-CRO :

Great

Thanks!!

Quote from Gougoodthing :

Was just driving around this track in TV Cam, and saw this.... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.

I'm glad you like it.

Quote from deCesaris :

Lynce, this is just amazing work. I'm not sure though, do I have patience to stay on the track
when I see those sand areas..
Just unbelievable, thank you!



Master, I'm grateful.

You deserve it.

I love your effort in your work.

Much encouragement, brtoher!!

Quote from Frunze118 :

Lynce, watch JAtree_T1ATEST.dds please ( letters on the texture ). Also not all files for Fern Bay. Will you make fix ?

P.S. 10 monthes of work :thumb3d: Really cool result :sheep:

[edit] Oh, damn. Textures are really cool, so coll... No words... And maybe you will make few reflections to Fern Bay ?

Yeah, I can do it.

When I release the "Patch" in 2013.

Can you wait?

Thanks for your notice.

Quote from LFSMasterMan :

Wow, simply amazing! all this hard work you put into the game all for free and so we can enjoy lfs even more, i salute you sir!

Thanks to you, too.

Quote from wildstyle :

Beautiful work, Lynce.

Your hard work and dedication is very much appreciated. Now go take a well-deserved break and have a merry christmas.

Thansk!!

Yeah, but in 2013 I'll back to the work.

Quote from mp5cod :

Hehehehehe.

If I make High Res. textures for one track in one month, the quality isn't the same.

Thanks!!

I think is not serious for my part, but I think people can understand this situation. Anyway the work has been finished and presented in a video teaser, so, why wait?"



Since January of this year I have worked very hard in this work. Currently this is my best job so far. There are a lot of hours inside Revolution Pack 2012 but I don't know how many hours I made. Perhaps 1000 or 1500. The RP June 24th has been done in 257hours. A work of 3 months instead 10 months of this RP.

I recognize I'm very, very tired. Mentally it is hard to have a 100% of the motivation in ten months but I see that is possible and the encouragement of the lfsforum.net users helped me alot.

The criticisms and the suggestions are clearly the most important thing here to take the right direction. I think if Wildstyle and Bose does not talked about some of those changes(tarmac and grass), this work, probably would be very poor compared to the current work. The proof are in the pics from the first page of this thread and the latest pics published on my blog.

I'm very happy to finish this work and I will enjoy alot for sharing the Rp 2012 with all of you on December as a Christmas gift for the community.

Thank you very much.

Hi all again.
The release day has been changed, probably will be the next week. I don't know at this moment which day.
There will more news soon.

Thank you very much, again, guys.

I'm glad you like that simple clip.

@imthebestracerthereis. Thanks!!

Lynce, great work.

Quote from Matrixi :

The rallycross section looks stunning, nice work.

Is that Starion skin available anywhere?

ImudilaSkyline is almost right but there are the final version.

C40Z is the author of that Skin but the Kit( shadows, realisitc details,etc) is Squale.

I Don't remember well where it is but I think you can found it on the Finished Skins subforum on the XR cars section(XRT).

Well, at this point, just to say the same word I use in almost all my posts and it is not "Blog",hehehehehe, it is thanks.

I hope everybody can wait a little bit to prepare the site to upload the new section to all of you for download the file in two sizes.

I remember to everybody we can accept donations but the work is totally free, and free to download.

The license of this work will be creative commons 3.0 so if the people want to resize or create mods there is no trouble there. Only I ask respect for this work putting the original credits. Nothing more.

Anyway I'm still here although there is no news.

In 2013 I will say "Back to the work".

From 0:13 to 0:18, amazing camera work, contrast, saturation and effects.

The level of the video edition this year is very high.

Keep up!

Beautiful words from everybody.

Thank you very much.

Seniecka is right, hehehehehe. The HD version was in my mind after watching my own video. I mean yesterday.

@Theodu69. Sadly I don't go to upload more times the same file. I'm sorry. Very low connection and I want to take some rest. I hope you can download the file from here or if someone can help u uploading in another site or mirror.

Now I need a rest for a while, preparing the post of this work. for the miscellaneous section.

I read each post with atention in both threads and sometimes I haven't words for everybody. Really is a great satisfaction to work in this ambitious project along 10 months. Really I see it deserves all my effort for all of you.

See you soon.

Quote from GT4_PL :

WELL DONE! will work next track? Go Blackwood HD!

That is an idea but Fern Bay needs a second "Patch" to complete it in some parts(Fences, Palm trees and their trunks, some shrubs, public, cones and smoke).

A demo texture content it is a nice idea to increase the number of licenses and give more motivation to the developers.

Quote from theodu69 :

South city textures

A very large work. Even more than Fern Bay.

One year to work on it, I think to get the minimal quality.

Quote from lfsrm :

César Fernández is the programmer. Not me in this case.

I don't know at this moment if César can do it soon.

Give him time.

Quote from ATHome :

Can anybody tell me which tracks have been covered with the Revolution Packs so far? Fern Bay is obvious, but what other tracks?


As I've not been following this thread regulary, I don't want to crawl through all the posts

Just this track.

The previous works is about the cars(FZ50), reflections, tyre thread pattern and skies, basically.

The Skies are my worst work so far. I recommend to you the Skies from Don.

Quote from pako_customize :

Lynce: 386MB Fern-bay only ? What that mean for all tracks like 4Gb maybe? and how video card gonna feel that ? FPS go down or not? Very very good work man congratz

Yep, 386 MB and in 2048 x2048 is 162 MB.

As TVE said, I can't tell you better than him, hehehehe.

Thanks for the interest.

Quote from The Very End :

The FPS is not going to be very affected unless you have a reallllllllyyy bad card. The most noticeable thing is that the loading time of the track goes up.

Yeah. The loading time is the trouble here if there are a low specs on the PC of the lfs racer.

In this case I recommend the 2048 x 2048 in one lfs folder for the races, leagues,etc. For other things in 4096 x 4096 can be nice for the video edition and to take lfs photos.

Thank you brother.

Quote from Bass-Driver :

i expect longer loading times and less fps ( 2 a 5fps )
nice work lynce

Quote from kiste :

I really have to say: That is an awesome work of. In all details. I havnt written that much here in the thread but i was looking very often how the progress of it goes. And i was very impressed everytime!

You make me feel good a going back to skinning and show it on such a beautyfull track again!

I'm glad by your words, brother. I really apreciate that.

I recognize that I visit a lot of times the finished skins thread, to see the amazing skins. Of course sometimes I forget to put the author of the skin in my blog. I'm sorry for that.

Anyway, back to the topic, thanks for your motivational words.

Progress:



Cheers!!

Inside of the video edition there some rules.

And there are abstract rules inside them. Not everybody can understand that kind of rules to transmit some feelings to the spectator. Firemike can understand it and sail on them.

I think Firemike it isn't conscious his pure amazing talent. This guy can make this masterpiece in a few minutes, because the camera work, the narration of the footage and combine sounds with the music is very well done and this is very difficult, even for me.

I try to explain that this video it is his best video so far. Technically is almost perfect. The point here is the perfect narration of the scenes and the perfect use of the sounds.

Nothing more to say.

Cheers, brother.

5 stars.
