Great idea. Keeps all the little updates together in one place.

Tis indeed

I don't know about anyone else, but I'll be sleeping a whole lot sounder tonight

I'm going to give you a tip now, that I didn't realise was there until about 3 weeks after I started rendering.

If your car is too shiny lower the 'reflection' number in the maps section of the material.

I suffered for weeks with ultra shine

Something Awful, Check.

I wish we had mentos in the UK. I'd be out right now buying a dozen packets to create delicious, home-made coke-pistols

Also need immense patience if you intend to make your own scenes.

Immense I tells ya

Hehe. Gotta say I've never seen that before

Could use a touch of desaturation (in my opinion) but good work! It's definately harder to do this stuff than it looks

Seems that way. There's about 3 blocks of texture on the right side of the back straight that just stay brighter. Hardly noticeable but has been annoying me while I've tried to fix it

Still WIP.

Sky is from Hudson Kerrs rF sky pack. So if you've bought them, they look nice in LFS too

30 is plenty for a video. Alot of people have trouble with 32bit video modes and fraps recording in LFS, so if your FPS is ~10 then I'd recommend swapping to 16bit. Looks almost the same but records alot smoother.

I personally window LFS at 1024x768 16bit then set fraps to record at 30FPS Full size. Seem's to work for me. Not sure if Law does it the same however

Quote from joen :

I think the tarmac texture is quite nice, but not quite there yet. The grass doesn't work for me, it's way too bright and indeed makes it look cartoony.
I must say I like your idea of having sponsor logo's (in this case the LFS logo) on the grass, you see those on real tracks as well. But I guess the problem with that is that you cannot assign it to a certain place on the track only, so this way it becomes repetitive.

Grass in LFS (atleast blackwood anyway) is what I like to call, a bitch.

Seemingly random chunks of different dds files are places..randomly..then tiled about 650 million times. I have 1 light patch of grass in the [tsr.] textures and I cannot figure out what is causing it, since all of the grass dds files, and infact every piece of grass in every single dds for BW, is the same shade of grass

Quote from SpaceMarineITA :

That video is fantastic!!
And these 2 too (i have found these in your list xD):

How did u make these?
Which capture and editing video programs did u use?
And how did u used custom cameras?
How much time did u spend for making it?
And which is the name of the intro soundtrack?


I repeat, very very good video!!!

I believe he used :

1) Fraps to capture, Adobe Premiere Pro to edit
2) View > custom in LFS.
3) We locked him in a box for days
4) Feeder - Shatter

I'd also recommend vRay instead of Brazil. Brazil is fine but I found it was a bit limited

Great video law

Uploading to Goog' Vid now

Edit : Who would guess I made that helmet myself?

And the Google video version :

Since this is a tarmac thread, didn't want to go Off topic

That and the grass still needs tweaking..slightly

Here's some Blackwood tarmac.. Tried to keep the new areas of tarmac on BL looking new and fresh. High res too for added zing.

(dark bit on the left is shadow, not dodgy texture)

The next video is starring meeee, so. Yea...

A couple of us [tsr.] guys are working on a BLGP texture update and we're pretty happy with it so far. Will post WIPS when he lets me

As for the one in the first post.. Looks a little odd to me. A bit bright and unrealistic. Also slightly blurry. Great effort though since doing textures that look good isn't easy

Why did you bump a 4 day old thread to tell someone to read previous posts?

Chillax

The other F1 mod is on rtracker.org and comes with some tracks too. About 600mb altogether but it's pretty good

Why do I get the feeling this thread is going to go downhill rapidly because rFactor was mentioned? Oh, oh wait. It already has. LOL RAILS RFACTOR...

As for the F1 mod, there's one called F1 champions and another F1 mod made by Spet. Both are quite good but they're not a 'proper' F1 mod.

And the actual link

http://files.filefront.com/tsr ... 09100;;/fileinfo.html/1/1

I don't see the hubbub about Filefront, if you catch it at the wrong time you're lucky to get 20KB/s. Hopefully for the next video we can get proper hosting though..

Quote from Jakg :

is it me or is the section from braking at castrol through to the nd of lap a bit.. special? you have all these slightly banked corner that you fly through at imposible speeds

In the video? Or just in general?

Since if you mean the video I suggest you go take a spin round there with a good setup

Edit : Google video version is uploaded here - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2601865237104756043
