I haven't the slightest idea of what they are speaking about

German is hard to understand for me

Hi all & happy new year

There was a long time i didn't post here My job's position changes and i have less time for LFS and 3D
I see that there is more and more great renders now. That's a good point.

@Morrow; it's a sympathetic initiative you made

Quote from MorroW :

Irw

Could you please send me that texture and box? I try to modify.
I have really no idea how, but I want to try

And also...where you find that kind HDRI?

(I expect that ramp is box, right?)

Simple box...

That kind of HDRi is very hard to find. I found ones only at Dosch Design

Quote from ORION :

very nice job Grudd, even though the texture wrapping on the edges of the ramp look a bit weird
I guess you need another texture for that

Exact, i must modify it

Quote from boxer :

As MorroW said, the ramp is a bit dodgy.. how do they fit it in the truck?

I know i know... but my i'm a modeler as good as a spanish cow...

Another version...

@Looney -> when i 'd have time... It's not difficult... you just have to use a big HDRI environement (6400*4000 pixels)

Quote from XCNuse :

@ grudd ; how did you make it have a background color (that brownish color).. but have an HDRI map?

and one last thing, you might want to check out some of your light settings, theres a good amount of artifacting in the shadows

With brazil render engine:

Activate the CSG server and choose the color you want for the ground.

Depending of the angle view you'll choose a part of the hdri pic will appear on the upper part on the render (see pic attached)
Simply load in photoshop and clean it.

Quote from Nick_ll :

Easily fixed with smoothing groups Grudd.
In the modify menu on element level (the little cube), scroll down and just assign the faces that have the problem to another smoothing group. In this case it's probably the door line. So select it (it's one element) and then change the smoothing group and it should fix it.

i'll try as soon as possible (time is missing...)

Quote from XCNuse :

if looks like your having some smoothing problems behind the door there grudd

Don't know exactly how to fix it... my knowledge is limited for such a problem

@ Dravgunov -> your FO8 is flying (look at the tyres)

Quote from BWX232 :

I'll be checking back.. the 800 x 600 is cool, but doesn't make a great wallpaper..

already done in 1280*1024 (see my original post, i changed the 800*600 pic into a 1280*1024 one)

Quote from BWX232 :

Is there higher res versions somewhere?

maybe... when the fight between michelin & bridgestone will be fixed

Quote from RAYfighter :

So, the background we see on pictures is spherical mapped env map? mate.

You're right
The picture you see in background IS the HDRi picture (one piece)

This "neon" effect on the blue is cool

Nice scene Gotcha... as usual :clapclap:

Another Extreme high resolution HDRi...

Quote from GotiKGotcha :

That's really fantastic Grudd !!
You use the HDRi for LFS as a God

Thanks for the Link !

It's a pity that the left of the front bumper was bugged.
May be corrected in the RB4-S2 generation :heartbeat

Oh no !! i'm not a God at all
Just trying to do my best...

For the bug, i'm sure with some knowledge in modelling, it can be fixed easyly...

It's a huge resolution HDRi picture (approximatly 6400*3200)

You can find such pictures from Dosch Design (hard to find others

The process is the same as a "simple" hdri light, except you must assign a "mate/shadow" material to the ground.
The complex thing is to find the rigth camera angle.

Here is another i made one year ago....

Quote from RAYfighter :

Grudd, you are 3D man, so I hope you can hear some comments to your renders. Isn't that FXR kind of too shiny? Even tyres got so much light that they look like they were reflective.

Maybe too shiny yes... that was like that i appreciated it when i make the render.
Tyres are too shiny, it's sure....the material is not well set up... i'll fix it

3 renders i made for "themask" (this skin maker)
the last one has been done fast... it's too shiny compared to the background...

The new BSKfr's XFR Skin

3 renders i made for one of my team's member: Manu
He did this nice skin
