I don't know about you guys but I'm enlightened.

Enlightened.

Just wondering a couple things about the awesome MD render. Do you change the car models at all? Smooth the edges etc to make it look more realistic. Also is the paint material as complicated as it looks? Also, Vray, brazil, MR or other?

With patch U10 my speedo now reads 142 instead of 141 at the end of the straight.. but my laptimes are the same.

Although I did just beat my PB so who knows

I think I just got better at the last corner? Atleast that's how I like to think about it..

1:00:64 weeeeeeeeee

I believe that's LFS's fault

Nice textures Honey, clean and crisp. Keep up the good work

May I ask what renderer you're using? Looks good for only a week

Quote from samyip :

very nice renders Ryanry64.

One minor thing, check the mapping of Michelins, they don't look wrapping in a circle path, somehow seems distorted.

regards

They were only a quick job by a friend of mine, I'll see if I can centre them slightly they were sliiiightly wonky

Edit : The texture that is, the mapping is fine

Great fan of your work Morrow, it all looks so perfect.

Do you ever release scenes? I'd love to see how some of the stuff you do is done, it all looks so real :lovies3d:

Also you spelt 'Designs' wrong in the corner

Edit : JUst checked your site and noticed the LX/RB4 scenes. They look nice. I can understand if you never want to release a scene like you've shown above however the work that went into it must have been rather alot

Quote from tristancliffe :

Didn't I do a 1m00.58 the other day without a tow (but with a lucky slide though the last corner)

I would have got away with it, but Ryan happened to be spectating as I did the slide...

I believe it was closer to a 68, and yes that slide was rather lucky although perfectly held

Just done the vixen pre-season race on this combo and still really, really hate the last corner. It changes every lap it seems.

Then darkone goes and beats the WR by 2 tenths on about the 40th lap. illepall

I'm capped at a 1:00:73 it seems, but ah well

Don't forget our own texture database

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=8785

There are some nice brake discs there for instance.
The wheels/rims are just materials in most cases. I always do the materials myself. Some textures too. Creating good textures isn't too hard, finding the right pictures for it is

There are renders that have completely redone wheels (guys like Snikki make those themselves). There are probably some available on sites I guess.
I don't know, they often look great but I think they also tend to "un-LFS" the cars, I like them to keep the LFS feel. Plus, I'm still a terrible modeller And I like the renders to be my own creation as much as possible. But that's a matter of preference I guess.

I'm not a huge photoshop master so I rarely make my own textures, but I do all of the materials in max. I usually start with a brazil scene and delete all of the extra bits and then start making all the materials for vray. Then add the curved floor and start playing with lights illepall

I'm a bit lazy so remapping the cars is just too much for my epic lazyness

As for the wheels there's a few out there that look very LFS-ish except higher poly and generally nicer. I will always use this if I have the chance since nice smooth wheels really do add to the render

Quote from Stix :

...very nice...thanks ryan...great render!



...tyre change on michelin? If it so much work does not do maybe still this view...ryan, i trust your creativity.

cya stix

Really sorry about the wait but I've been really busy

Anyway, here's as close as I could get to your angle and some fresh michelins

Try Master Skinnerz, great forum and has all the things you mentioned

http://skinnerz.proboards26.com/index.cgi

Tis a very nice skin, good work

Short and nice little video as far as drift videos go. Nice cameras in there too, nice work

That's this weekend?? Damnit.. Might be a bit short notice but I'll have a check to see if I can make it.

All signs however point to no

When we find where he's floating in space we'll get back to work on this. But he's been gone over a week so I have no idea when he's coming back

Quote from PartyBoat :

That she is an attention seeking GIRL

I'm not sure how you can really say things like that about other people when you're here argueing about things that really, really don't matter. You've made your point. Go.

I'm not really on anyones side here considering this is just 'I'm right! No I'm right' fight. But whatever. I'll go find a dead horse and a stick for you all to play with

Quote from nutty boy :

Was that aimed at me.

And yes Ryan well done for taking my side.(at least I think you were doing that. I think you were being sarcastic.

No, I agreed with you.

This thread has just gotten stupid and no one is willing to be the better person and stop argueing. Everyone is familiar with the 'Argueing on the internet' picture. Learn from that.

Quote from nutty boy :

Mods PLEASE lock this. I'm getting sick of the ding of emails coming through from this thread.

This man speaks the truth. Some of the things said in this thread just boggle the mind illepall

Quote from sgt.flippy :

You can't agree with killing people because that would mean you also want to kill those people, what makes you involved in the killing... That's why you would go to prison. But if you agree with something that is not a crime, they can't harm you.

Yea, ok.

Go up to a policeman and tell him you agree with what hitler did, I'll give you £1000 if he puts you in jail for it..

I'll give the person who is the bigger man and stops all the arguments a cookie.

Damn guys, this is a forum for a game. Chillax.

I was just questioning why he thought agreeing with something would get him sent to prison.

As long as you don't murder anyone then you should be just dandy...

Quote from bahrain :

Hitler thought we should kill all jews. If I agree with that, I goto prison.

What? I can't even tell if that's a joke or have I missed something?

So yea, this thread is about stalking. So either start stalking eachother or hush hush

As for the stalking thing? What can you do? Idiots exist in real life and on the internet, I really doubt any government wants to mass-kill idiots

After a little more playtime I've decided I really like the track, good mix of corners and quite a challenge in places. Also some curbs can really punish you

Physics really do fall between LFS and nKP, slightly more toward the nKP side if anything. Feels nice to get the power down and have the back step out slightly Really wish the car was the other one in the screenshot section and not the FF, but the FF is fine. Hard to test the netcode still with people trying to host 10 people on their slow home connection but I think underneath it's solid.

Not had any crashes though, which is surprising for a game in a pre-alpha state. Very solid piece of software. Easy to configure graphics, controls etc. Car setup is confusing but then that may be because my setup skills are average at best.
