reupload please

Work in progress

Thanks for the interest.

Quote from N I K I :

ohh I'm sorry bro, i thought it was you who worked on aston, kyoto etc.. it was a long time ago, as far as i can remember now it was some turkish guy, pardon me eh. The thing is they kept exact same color of curbs for example, just more detailed, whilst you changed it from fern bay color to gray, or asphalt color, it's brightened. Well, I mean a lot of people like the way you've done it, mind you, I'll keep the original colors.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Quote from The Very End :

In my opinion the FE curbs could be in new colors, what about green/yellow/black or any other color that fits in the Jamaica'n theme :}

Hum....

I don't like the idea. Hehehehehe.

We are working very hard.

Quote from lrk-racer :

Well I found another interesting thing related to that brighter tarmac (Screen). It looks weird when two streets cross. It's just that I've never (or rarely) seen something like this in the middle so it feels kinda weird to me Again all matter of taste.

With the grass you are right sand could mess it a little bit up. Still shouldn't be like sand over the track, but that little bit that there already is maybe could be a little bit larger so less grass -> more sand. But I actually don't know how difficult that is so not sure if that's possible so all up to you

Cheers

First paragraph. LFS System.


Second paragraph. Just the sand turns bright the asphalt.


I will see another option anyway. Thanks.

Quote from tommer :

Good work as always Lynce

Is it possible that at some point you could re-upload your old revolution packs too? You uploaded them to Megaupload and the site is seized by FBI

Bose's site

Flame's site

Anyway I'm working on revolution-pack.com to re-upload files with the support of the Flame/martin and Bose.

Cheers.

Quote from N I K I :

It's as if Tilke went there and ordered inhabitants of FE to modernize. I love their old asphalt the way it is and those dodgy curbs in color they are and even the grass that looks a lot older than the redesigned one. I think you've lost your core here. All the other tracks you've done are just simply restored versions of the original tracks, like of the old car, you take it and make it look like brand new from factory and that is exactly what I liked about your work. This, this is just not restoration anymore.

Hi, NIKI, how are you?

It is hard for me to understand your point of view. I see a contradiction and I don't understand what do you mean about "All other tracks you've done...".

This is my first work about a track. The rest of my artworks are just landscapes, skies and different things for cars.

I try to remade the textures respecting each part of the track(rocks, same colour for the bridge, the flags, advertising...). In the beginning I don't liked the idea to make an old track because the track looks like only for the road traffic. If there are races Fern Bay needs a maintenance just for the tarmac (the sand and the hot conditions degrade and clarifies the asphalt). I understand the grass has been cutted, even the grass on the hill. The curb is fragile (I mean the red and white curb). I think about all of this but I remember to the people, looking alot of photos that everything is possible, so I really want to try another style suggested by wildstyle, Bose, TVE and more guys.


See you soon and I hope to read more opinions from you. Thanks, cheers.

Quote from kiste :

i really like the fernbaypack, For me the track is a bit to bright. But thats just a taste of mine. Others love it maybe. was just a meaning from me. Otherwise keep it up lynce.

Thank you.

Very original. Fantastic video.

In some moments the camera angles are amazing (I mean style and photography).

Quote from lrk-racer :

First of all thanks Lynce for this great pack. Makes LFS look quite better.

But what I don't like much at FE are the tarmac textures which look too perfect and new. Due to the fact that FE is at beach and so on a (very) little bit sand at the edge would be great or that the road looks a bit more older. I also don't like the brighter tarmac in the middle of the street, added screen to clear it a bit.

Of course all a matter of taste and it is still your project, just wanted to show my opinion Keep up the good work!

Cheers

Hi, lrk-racer, how are you?

Before work on this addon, as all my works, I made a documentation.

I saw in a lot of photos that there are in the middle a brighter zone. I really think it is dirty. The texture is a real photo and I have added two textures more. The white line and the edge.

Of course I can see your suggestion very interesting and I didn't think to put sand on the edge, but this is related to the clear grass. Remember the compatibility with other textures, hehehehe. I mean if I add sand on the edge, obviously there are sand on the grass. It is difficult to made because LFS uses two textures for almost all the track. I will try it but I can't promise nothing.

About the "perfect and new tarmac", I agree with you and wildstyle. I will try to make something different.

I hope you will post, more times, with your opinion. ( And all people, of course).

Thanks for your interest.

Quote from The Very End :

I agree with you mate! The sand looks very great, but the transition, or the end of the sand where the grass starts looks a bit odd.

Have you seen the texture add-on "Sands of Fern Bay" ? Basically it turns the landscape into a desert theme. Maybe you should try that? With those great sand textures of yours and some sand hills in the background in propper ressolution could be a hit!

Just an idea of course

Hum....

Very interesting and very similar of the original LFS. Tropical and nearest of the desert in some parts. I remember a road movies, for example.

I was watching a lot of photos over this theme and I see everything is possible. Believe me.

I can make some tests. I will try it.

Thanks TVE, as always, hehehehe.

Just improving the illumination changes the game.

Quote from skiper :

Thank you so much Lynce.
But I believe that I have not reached yours level)

I'm not better than anyone.

There are tastes and styles.

Keep up the good work.

@Taavi. Fantastic shots as always.

Quote from Rynno666 :

Lynce this sand is so so realistic.... you are really genius..... so ****ing...good work..)))

Thank you.

It is very early to talk about the screen. I don't know if I will use that texture in the final addon for Fern Bay. I still work on this file.

Personally I don't like the rocks from the screen, hehehehe

Quote from skiper :

hot fz50 )

You are one of my favourite photoshopers here.

Good job. Amazing work on the general illumination.

And... thanks to use the RP for your shots.

Cheers.

I'm reading some interesting posts and I think we forget the point of view from the developers.

We need to understand them. This is his personal project, it is a free time job and there aren't objectives as in almost all entertainment enterprises. This is an indie game.

They have his personal reason to close his game to introducing mods, cars, tracks. It is obvious it's his project and they decide they want to do with it.

Does not sense to discuss about the potential of the LFS. We know since long time.

Cheers.

Quote from The Very End :

In the end this is your project, you chose what pace you want to work with and what is the goal of the project. So don't say sorry to us, if anything we should say sorry for putting the pressure on your shoulders in the first place

Take the time needed, do research and learn the things you want, and do it your way! I'll be lurking in the shadows and watching the project from the side line!

Btw! Are there some easy way to make the blackwood gravvel have the same textures and fern bay now? I love your gravvel textures!

Thanks for your words, my friend.

I'm working on the possibility to improve the sand part from Fern Bay from scratch.

Making some studios of the optical effects inside of the race. As this example:



A very earlier tests._

Quote from IMOL :

Heh... Something what you cant hear from real Devs... GOOD LUCK LYNCE! For me you are BEST!

Thanks, hahahaha.

I'm a very hyperactive guy. I always working on new project (except in 2011), making tests to understand how it works some textures to think in the next Addon (car or miscs), site, magazine (LFS Magazine). I really love to work on textures, hehehehe.

Looking for the photorealism for the second Addon and unconfirmed. Very, very difficult but possible.

My business partner seeing the posibility to make a shader. Unconfirmed. Who is my partner? He appears on the site. César Fernández.

Cheers.


NOTE: I'm not happy with some works I made. The LFS system has a lot of inconveniences and it mades a lot of strange things when I increase the size of the textures. Appears noise, strange distortions,.... It is very hard to try a balance.

I understand there are people don't like some works. I understand it perfectly.

I will try to increase the quality of the addons and decrease the time of the development. Difficult, hehehehe.

The reason to post this incomplete work. Obviously I see the option to restart all this work from scratch because reading some comments I see that I can make another style with better textures. Gives more realism and more variety on the scenary. And I see:" Well, I have an excuse to release the current work and I can re-work quiet with the files". Hehehehehe.

I love to share this work and see the ilusion on the people because it's my ilusion.

In this case, i was using lynce's latest textures for fern bay.

I'm glad you like my artworks

Astonishing pic as always. You are in the master category. It looks like a render.

I only ask, how did you make the reflection? and/ or it is a RP reflection (June 24th). I'm confusing because the car looks like a render.

Cheers, mate.

tried AMD HD6750 and nVidia 8600GT same thing on both about this "artifacts"

Quote from Impreza09 :

I'm running on Nvidia GeForce GT430 and have those "artifacts"...

Hum....

So, it not works in all graphic cards....


Thanks for tell me.

I don't know how to fix it....

Any idea?

Quote from kitu_gudu :

If you ever need another test with an NVIDIA card, I am here.
I forgot to mention that in LFS I have antialiasing set to none, and in NVIDIA control panel I have it set to 32x. Maybe this matters.

About the site. I can understand the icons, but I think it would be better if the categories on the extending tab were more compact. For example, tyres, brakes, wheels and interiors, can all be in the same category (CARS). And when you click on CARS, you can have sub-categories (tyres, brakes, etc.). You can have only 4 or 5 categories: CARS, TRACK, INTERFACE, SOUNDS and Revolution Packs DOWNLOAD. Don't get me wrong, I like the site, but it can be made a little simple. That's all.

It's my pleasure. I am only trying to help and I like the fact that you consider my comments usefull.


I was searching for it too and when I found it and wanted to post on forum, you already posted.
You are right, I tested this.

I hope that Lynce will work his magic.

Also, what is the name of the yellow "parking spots" on the pit road? I haven't find those yet.

A pleasure for me with users as you.

I love the suggestions because that is used are to improve the work. Lfsforum is a community and I think, inside of the community, we can help us and see another point of view. I'm not god, I'm not perfect and I haven't the absolute truth. I understand the people can open my eyes in a concrete point.

I'll talk with my partner about your suggestion for the icons. I'm a designer of the site and that idea is mine, hehehehe, but I really think it is interesting your opinion but I don't know if is possible that change.

Anyway, please, when new sections are open, tell me what you think.

For me your comments are usefful of course. Obviously any criticism from another user are important and usefull for me also.

That's it! I hope that Lynce will upgrade these textures as well.

Hahahahahaha. accurate!!

Quote from The Very End :

Did try it out for a little spin now, and I must say it really looks amazing!
I can only prey tha the devs will ask you for permision to use this as standard in LFS, if not - their stupid lol

I'm glad to read comments from you.
I have a lot of respect for the developers and I understand the point of view from them.

They can use all my artworks and they can modify them to respect licenses, specifications or another thing they can see opportune.


Thank you as always, my friend.

Cheers.

Works great on my PC. I have no problems whatsoever.
Video card = NVIDIA GTX 460 (2GB).


I see...
_______________
I tryed the textures and they are great, just like I have expected.
I noticed that the pit roads are not included in this pack. Will they be included in the final pack?

Wow!! So with Nvidia graphic card works fine. This is a nice new.

About site I ask you if you can understand well the icons from the Navigation buttons on the extending tab. That's important.

About road pits, I haven't found the texture. Does not begin with "JA_..." or "JA...". Maybe has another name.

I think your comments are very interesting. Thank you very much with your contribution.

Well... I'm back to the work.

Quote from Flame CZE :

That looks nice May I ask, how can I get rid of these little artifacts? I remember this happens with most hi-res textures

Really I don't know if it is from Ati. But I think the same as you. The trouble is the size.

Can someone tell us if with Nvidia does the same trouble?

Quote from Klouczech :

I had these things too, when I put anti-leasing in Catalyst.

Nice work LYNCE!

Me too, I think.

Thanks, bro.

Quote from kitu_gudu :

Downloading... I can't wait to see how the new Fern Bay looks like.

The site looks very good BTW, but maybe it should be made a little more user friendly (like adding some text below the icons). Also the download speed is pretty good (1.6 - 1.7 Mbps).

Thank you!

If you put your mouse over the icon without clicking, a message appears.

We don't think about it because the icons represent the section.

Anyway, thank you for your suggestion. As always, hehehehe.




Thanks for the encouragement and lovely comments. I read each with a lot of attention.

Updated the first post and title. RP 2012 instead RP june 2012(people can think that is the latest work).

Hi all again.


RP 2012 Incomplete Addon. 51,85 % Finished: 28/54 files.









It is an uncomplete work, so I will have more time to work on new HD textures(4096 x 4096) for Fern Bay. I read the criticisms and suggestions and I was thinking people are right (Tarmac from wildstyle and some parts of the grass from Bose, TVE and Kitu_gudu).

Remember: I have started from scratch the road, sand, tarmac, grass, hill and rocks in 4096 x 4096. American style for the Tarmac and sand, tropical style for the grass,etc.


All textures will be reworked (for more resolution, style,...), except some files: Arrows, Fence, Flag, buildings and Adback.


Specifications:



Little Bridge and flag._





Rocks, Tarmac, Edge of the grass and grass._





Fence, Curb and white line of the Tarmac._






Sand, dirt part and exterior with grass._





Second curb, second exterior of the rally track, grass, buchs and fence._






Tarmac, grass, Hill and Landscape._






To install:

Unzip on
LFS / data / dds

Where do I can find it?

www.revolution-pack.com

Please, CTRL+F5 into the site.

or those mirrors:

Know problems._

It is and unfinished work. I will try to make more definition on almost all textures. As I said on my blog there are unsolved bugs by the specification of the track and how it is made the Fern Bay model in 3D.

Hello, once again, to all of you.

Since I am in lfsforum.net, six years ago, I never thought about making profit from my work, but considering some comments I've read of a sponsorship in lfsforum.net, due to changes in my country and because it is not possible for me to improve my PC specifications and internet connection speed, I've opened the option so that you can donate. What it is intended to be used for?

The codename "Third Project" is not a site. www.revolution-pack.com is nowadays an incomplete site wich we are going to update from now on. It's been tested on the latest stable versions of the major browsers (it does not work in IE8 and below). But the "Third Project" is much more than that. This is just the beginning.

A philosophy. Our dream.

Not only improving textures. Sound, graphics using shaders... they may be improved.

Help us to grow, to improve with your donation.

As the Internet speed improves, it also improves time to get information, downloading of textures to work on them and to view high resolution photos to tell us more about how to make an addon as realistic as possible.

As my PC specifications improves, it also improves developing time of working with high resolution files.

All relies on you.

If this ambitious project is sponsored, we pledge to work in the development of many improvements to the LFS.

Tarmac in 4096 x 4096 and the rest in 2048 x 2048. I mean the current work, even, some signals, little bridge, flag, post, curbs, back-ads, fence, buildings, some walls.
