The parts count doesn't affect the render time, it's just for render progress lisibility.

I ask the following question in despair since I didn't find it in the LFS script documentation:

Is it possible to set the fuel quantity for pit refuel via a script command rather than entering manually the value via the F12 menu while driving?

The command would be performed by an InSim program.

hem, I took a break and I see that many questions appeared here... with obvious answers.

I should laugh but I'm quite depressed... this topic contains now too much easy/stupid/already answered questions, so it's going to be ineffective to new Blender users to look for an answer in it...

I don't know what to do..

There a lot of potential in this animated scene, just make them in an avi format with trees, volumetric grass and better lightning (seriously it's time to do more realistic), these animations would be kickass.

Good, it just need some motion blur and camera instability to make it real, and probably a better lightning because the scenes look like made of clay. Some materials need a specular shader.

:doh: Man just click on the thumbnails to get the full sized screenshot...

there are screenshots in the first post. Read the tutorial.

weird problem... check if "combined" and "z" buttons only are activated in the render layers tab of the render menu.
otherwise the textures files are lost..

JJ72, which version of yafray do you use?

New skins made with V2 kit.

I have some trouble with 2 cars in a shot. For some reason it uses 1 skin. For instance when I want a render with a XFR and FXR blender uses only teh XFR skin. Even when I select the single user on skin.

Nice renders mate, the V2 kit works well. Like JJ72 said you have to create a new material for a second car because all the cars in the kit share the same material. The "add new" command duplicates the selected material, then assign another texture.

Quote from samyip :

These are very nicely lit blender renders. Not too over exposed or under lit. I have seen too many under lit renders lately and these are very good.

It seems I worked the kit well

Why the front wiper's in vertical position? is the girl actually blonde?

Indigo works are not sharable because of the exporter behavior. So there's nothing to get but everything to create.

You can't mod the game, forget it.

It was a 3dsmax tutorial I tested some years ago, I customized the glass material a little bit.
Can't remember why I tried 3dsmax at this time, but I've quickly abandoned it due to the difficulty and software complexity.

I hard to learn Blender too but this time I managed to feel comfortable with it.

me? not yet...

Quote from T.J. :

The Jag was there to show some new materials I made..

The scene is too dark to appreciate it correctly.

You know the XRT's wheelbase distance, scale your girl with it.

wow the girl seems so tall.. :margesimp

It's ok, the V2 kit renders are very long.

Quote from Graf.uk :

sorry to be a pain, but I'm having a few problems, not used this program before
I have render a few cars and they are great, thanks for the tutorial, but I cant seem to get the reflection on the floor,
I depressed the "OnlySha" but all I seen to get is a black car and background

I copied the screen shot settings from an earlier post, but have the same outcome

any advice please?

thanks

You have to do more than depressing "onlysha" button to get the reflecting floor. Check the corresponding paragraph in my tutorial.

Quote from John5200 :

does any1 know where i can get the new interiors of the z patch as .blend file or something like that?

AFAIK nowhere yet. But if a future LFS patch contains other car update, maybe I would work on a V3 render kit.

Quote from chavm481 :

were can i get more .blend car files???

LFS cars? nowhere but try to ask other Blender users their scenes, maybe some of them would make them public. But it is more interesting to make scenes by yourself.

Quote from Kaoru :

It is possible to find a cell-shading filter for the render? You know... the effect of "Auto Modellista".
Or a python script for it ^___^ I can do a skin in excange

No filter, no script but a toon material is available within Blender but I've never tried it yet. I know it is possible tough.

Quote from Kirill.D :

Sweet, the rims look too like LFS ones , but all other things are sooo great .

:wizard:

@Gustix
It's fine now, post it in the 3d lfs render topic to impress brazil studio users when finished
There's a mip map button in the texture tab activated by default, just unpress it.

Many of these tutorials will be useful for me, thanks for the link!

Seriously mate do something better, there's not any skillful work in this texture. You also think it is ugly, why do you want to make a render with it and make it a personal helmet texture? quite pitiful isn't it?

Quote from Gustix :

Here is my newest peoject

All objects i modeled by myself

( a little bit noisy render coz i used AO with only 5 samples :shy

This is a very interesting scene, just add a hdr background and it will look awesome. To make the work better, add bump map to the ground, more diversified textures and disable mipmapping of the falken texture (optional: get a faster image host )

I'm glad to see such self made scene (moreover within Blender)
