Oh I see your PC thinks he is funny.. Tell him to stop joking around or you will remove him a GPU, or some memory, see if he is so funny after that
Sh** I was going to go by whatever the time was in California18:33 in Germany, you've got 5 1/2 hours left
Trust me I've threatened it plenty of times... And pointed at the window!Oh I see your PC thinks he is funny.. Tell him to stop joking around or you will remove him a GPU, or some memory, see if he is so funny after that
It's not only my computer, various other things know when you've put a deadline...
Also tweaking AI lines is a pain in the... time consuming on this track as the AI lines are pretty big. Tracking down a few floating trees etc...
On the plus side I have got the 118 pit box Mansion Free Roam layout done...
I can't tell yet if 118 people can join it... No cams no AI...
Also having to do various little bits, things like these... double check what I can...
Right enough typing.
Nice one
That's just the laugh I need when having to adjust quite a few of my trees shadow planes normals...
Normals are clever what they can do to a mesh... But as I'm still learning 3DS... selecting vertex normals is a PITA!
Thankfully, there's a ignore back faces checkbox or this would take forever
There's probably a much easier way to select them... But it would take me ages to find out.
Added another 5,000 - 10,000 trees a bit more precisely than the big clumps that are in the screenshots I've shown before... All the trees are now done... although he alpha channels will need a trim in an update in a week or two.
Edit: after trying a few things the roadside trees don't seem to want to cast shadows at midday... something to do with the normals I think, they need to be in there though...
I'll have to redo them another time.Don't race at midday for now

loads flawlessly on CM
Thanks mateA total blast to drive!
Thanks for uploading this pre 1.0!
I found a little bug with the water/tree shaders or something like that. The water reflections are influenced beneath the trees. Kind of strange

It is kind of a little bit early... But then the road flow is so much better it had to be done. It might take a while to adjust to how much faster the corners can be taken... mainly because the corner radii are more natural than before, there were too many multiple apex corners previously.. I wasn't doing the road justice.
Cheers for spotting that, there are quite a few bugs... That one is the ocean plane material... A fresnel setting I think... The oceans up for being.... enhanced... probably with multiple planes a colour gradient under a semi transparent, reflective top plane.
But it's a little down the priority list, as a temporary fix...
stop driving through the trees Rasmus
