Doesn't work in max9.

gg golf mk1, that's the only car that survived me boy did we have some fun times though, it's the car I thought of when watching the last top gear.

Haha my record isn't good either.

Destroyed 1 car I didn't own
Owned 4 cars and all destroyed
Co-owned one car that survived
Currently don't own any cars, otherwise I'd destroy it.

You will need the xvid codec, google for defilerpak its a codec pak and should have everything you need to play it.

Yah just near turn 1 by the first pothole on the right.

Near the south city highway off ramp.

This would be the ACPI driver, multiprocessor would be for dual core cpus.

Don't put anything in hat bottom box.

Download my rendering video tutorial and follow the steps exactly and you'll get a great looking render as long as you have brazil. If you don't have brazil then you'll have to use other material settings.

Well I haven't saved money, in fact my pc ended up costing more because I had to buy LFS and a wheel I can't help upgrading my pc every couple of years anyway.

CTRL+R to rotate, middle mouse button to pan, scroll wheel to zoom, then there's a whole bunch of other stuff on the bottom right.

The trunks do have textures, check for yourself

Anyway next track..

Strange, I've never noticed the tree trunks to not have textures. Well it looks like South City anyway.

edit: found it

Is that even LFS?

This is really weird but I started getting the same error recently too, although only once after boot up.. Something to do with my sound because I lost that after the error. Using a PCI soundcard now and problem seems to have gone away.

Bitch bitch, moan moan. raar

By no means is this supposed to be a tutorial to teach you about installing the cmx plugin or brazil, just like it doesn't teach you to install max either, that is expected already. Also it doesn't tell you anything about what each setting does, it's just a quick way to get someone interested in rendering up and running as quick as possible and without really knowing much about max or materials to get their very first render done. The experimenting and learning should come later and in your own time by yourself and also doing other tutorials.

[Veleocity] maybe instead of being such a cnut and saying it sucks you could tell me how to improve it. Saying it presents things with no idea how to do them I just don't get. While instructions are typed and you get the occasional screenshot in the wiki, the video goes through everything step by step to get the final render. You won't pick everything up by watching it once, rewind it and play it back a few times, pause it and do what you've just seen and then come back to it and maybe you'll get different results.

I just wanted to give something back since I've learned so much from this community and if it helps a couple of people to render I'll be extremely happy. If it's no good then atleast I've learnt something about making a tutorial and I might make another one with a different car and more detail if it would help.

Who knows maybe it's not even Phlos but an imposter impersonating him.

Wouldn't it work out better just to buy one when you moved? The shipping probably costs a heap and not to mention its left hand drive.

Quote from wark :

His punishment should have been us not making threads like this and not letting him know very many people even noticed or cared.

Truth.

Since there's always a tonne of questions about how to render and the tutorial is a bit vague in places, I decided to make a video tutorial.

It pretty much follows the existing written tutorial but I've used materials which I think are better, and included some extra details which should help fill in any missing gaps. If you use both the wirtten tutorial and watch the video you really shouldn't have any trouble at all getting your first render done and all in under 30 minutes.

Video - 33mb, 13minutes, xvid codec, 1280x976

LFS wiki 3d tutorial

Feedback appreciated and if it's good enough for sticky then please do.

haha if you don't know how to skin the car there's not much we can say that will help you get your renders looking like that, it takes lots of time and experimentation. I've been playing with rendering for about 2-3 months now and still don't have near that quality.

However ywith your skin problem, your mapping it to the wrong material ID. You need to put the skin in the maeterial ID that's named DEFAULT SKIN or something similar. In the premade scenes its got a purple diffuse colour.

Where's the DILLIGAF option?

Have you used any image editing software before? Look up some beginners tutorials for GIMP because if you're planning to skin you'll find yourself using much more complex tools then just recolouring. Anyway, the screenshot attached shows the fill bucket tool which colours in areas.

I think it's actually alcantra.

gg carbon. It looks lined up pretty well to me, although I'd probably move the stripes down so they're more on the actual bumper than the hood and lights section.
