Rendering is easy dude, especially with vray when there;'s so many good materials to be found for free. ALso good tute's on studio setups for scenes and diffferent lighting setups.

Nah the scene is correct, just the bulge is a little big and too long, it doesn't get that close to the headlight or door and towards the door it doesn't extrude as much, there's a much smoother transition in that area. Mum's got one in the garage, although it's the older model it's pretty much the same shape

Oh Nuse, will you ever finish a car Great models though but the wide bulge on the front fender is a bit long and too pronounced towards the back.

I've tried and failed and just get frustrated at how slowly it all progresses. I just stick to rendering.

Good to see you're both alright with only minor injuries. Car didn't look bad fromt he first shot, but even before seeing the second photo I had an idea of what had happened. Nice title

The only thing that can jump out here are roos which are also deadly, mostly in country areas at night. When travellign interstate you see a lot of them on the side of the road hit by trucks with their huge bull bars.

Forget the inferno set, it's way too oversteery for a beginner on the XRT especially a mouser. It doesn;t help your using the mouse because its hard to get on the throttle smoothly, you sorta have to tap it a few times before you can mash it down.

I've attached a replay of me driving using the mouse and the set I used when I was a demo racer using the mouse. I don't remember my PB but I just did a few laps and got a low 1.27 easily, so 1.25 shouldn't be a problem. It's a very stable and easy to drive set, and also doesn't lock up when you brake with the mouse.


Check the replay and you'll see what I mean by the throttle control required, you should shave a couple of seconds off in no time.

What's your budget? Most 19" are much of a muchness since they nearly all use ther same panels anyway. I'd recommend Samsung as they have great quality and are fairly priced. You won't find any moitors runnign 1024x768 anymore, they run 1280x1024 but u can always stretch your wallpaper to fit. Everything looks much better run at native res of the screen, running non native makes it look blurry and smudged except for games which can still look ok.

If you watch a lot of movies or TV on your pc then I'd recommend going for a 22" widescreen which are pretty cheap nowadays, otherwise somethihg like the Samsung 940N or B is nice.

Nice tool. Add this one to the collection of setup making help tools. You can zoom on the driving line pane by using the scroll wheel on your mouse. Is there any more info you can get from the setup such as tyre, camber and diff settings?

With low milage the best thing is to concentrate on one car you enjoy driving, so join a league that only uses that car for all races. This makes it easier to learn new tracks because you already know the car well enough and also easier when it comes to building your own sets.

You're going to have to like hotlapping because practice is the only way you're going to get quick at a track. Online races are fun but they don't really build speed quick enough. You'll also need to do a lot of laps to get a setup built that lasts more than 5 laps as most league races are longer than online races. The best way to hotlap is to create your own server, make it private and just drive. You'll be clocking up more miles on your licence which will make it easier when looking for a team to join or leagues are selective to who they let in.

You'll be limited by your availabilty so look for leagues that race on weekends and use a car you like. Remember most leagues use GMT and UTC time so you'll have to convert it to your local time zone to get local times. Good luck with your search.

Love that track from Donnie Darko. Drifting is ok but the camera angles could be a bit better capturing more of the action and perhaps not being static. 5/10

Currently using a D-Link DI-624 wireless router. Ethernet is brilliant and uptime great but now after about 2 years it's getting a bit flaky at times and needs to be reset. Wireless has the extreme 108mbps speed but it's a bit limited in distance and you need proper hardware.

If I were to get somethign new I'd go for the Linksys WRT54GL you can load custom firmware on to add extra functions but then you'd need a dsl modem. You could get the WAG54G which has a modem built in.

Nice renders Waakku Put the next ones up in the 3d LFS Renders thread. This one is for rendering skins people request.

Nice background picture used for the environment + HDRI map for the reflections and lighting and I suspect a directional brazil light for the hard shadow of the sun = realistic render.

At first I look at shift light, but then I have the shift points memorised by track locations and sound of the engine.

gg NOD32, best AV I've used. But an LFS keygen? Doesn't make sense since LFS doesn't use keys, I would've thought it be a cracked executable.

Ahh you already have the cue, awesome Open it in notepad and you should get a rough understanding of what it all means.

All you need now is a "cue splitter" program, I don't know any off the top of ym head but google should give you plenty of results for some free ones. They are very easy to use.

I'd create a cue file and use that to split it into seperate tracks. Basically in the cue file you specifyy the time intervals for the tracks. Then you can use a program to split the single mp3 into seperate tracks. This method is very accurate and winamp can play back cue files as if they were seperate tracks. When you go to burn the cue file you also don't get any gaps in the playback.
