Tree fx for Red Bull Ring - 3D Trees for this austrian rollercoaster

Hello everyone,

the Red Bull Ring, A1 Ring, Zeltweg or however you want to call it, now has 3D Trees.

Please expect a slight performance hit, there´s a lot more stuff to render.

Keep the Version number in mind.

Finally a TreeFX thats actually worth using!

A few pointers if you release another update....

tree_cast?, shadow3d?

Needs to be added to your HIDE config, they are the "caster meshes" used for tree shadows (Kunos trick)... otherwise the trees are gone but its shadows are still there.

- Overlapping trees in many places, this creates a bad flickering effect when the tree turns into billboard. In this example, the spruce is in the same exact location as the sycamore... not sure you can clean up through the tool or method you are using?

Hey John,

thanks for the "shadow trick"!
Will try it immediatly.

Regarding the overlapping trees:
Thanks again! This kind of input and kind criticism to improve the experience for all of us is very welcome.
When you work on a Project for some time, you tend to get slightly blind for those details.
I will take a look and implement some improvements after a short brake for myself.
It is possible to clean it up but I have to do it manually...

Take care John and once again, thanks for the kind words

Ah awesome that you updated it! I came up with a quick trick using excel to find duplicates

Here's the updated file with duplicates removed if you still need it: https://file.io/HFXBqFeG7CD8

 

[Johannes Steiger]

Oh yes! Thanks, will add it! I just corrected the colors with no pp active. Saw a video on youtube and the original colors looked way too dark...
Ridiculous how that stuff impact colors...

Short update, also got rid of the dublicates quickly. Thanks again my friend!

 

[Quark67]

Great work.
Just a question: why did you deleted the reference to 4.kn5 file inside models_layout_gp.ini?
4.kn5 containes only track objacts (mostly skidmarks)

 

[Johannes Steiger]

Hey, thanks for the Feedback!
I have to double check.
Will take a look, when I'm home

 

[JetRed7]

Literally took 25fps off me. Looks nice but I cant run at 50fps.

How do I reduce the number of trees? to get higher fps :/

You can’t. But you can decrease the LOD in the graphics adjustment page I believe.

Even doing this I still lose 70 fps, from 140 to 70
