Quote from kitu_gudu :

Wow! It's much better with 4096x4096 textures. I am glad that you found a way to solve this problem.

Will you improve the textures of the other tracks, or just Fern Bay?

This is the first addon. Just fern Bay in this case. Thanks for the interest.

Maybe in future I can improve another tracks but I don't know if I can follow the same quality. I prefer to be honest with you and with everybody.

Quote from nesrulz :

Nice. GO! GO! GO!

Where can I go?

Is a joke, Sorry, hehehehe.

Quote from Bose321 :

That's a HUGE difference! Glad to see you got it sorted. I hope you find a way to get more critical textures (I think road textures and other textures that you always see are 'critical') in 4096!

Look at the next pictures. I hope you lke it. Thank you, bro.

In the Blog I explain it much better. Obviously with my poor english lenguage.

Quote from The Very End :

So great!! Keep up the good work, and hope that you manage to get everything in that quality!

Hahahaha. I really don't know. Maybe, But not sure at all.


Next news and just one comment. There a lot, alot a lot of work and a lot of hours to make it as real as possible. I hope people like this pics. Of course, as always, bigger and more information on the Blog:







Cheers and thanks to all as always.

Please, don't forget to follow another interesting artists on this forums as pjuniorbra

I think this guy makes an interesting job.

Quote from Omar1 :

^^ im sure it shouldnt matter too much, and besides, if all of the textures were in 4096x4096 then the d/l size would be biggggg, and also, we will be racing/cruising/drifting and i doubt we'd stop for an ultra close up of the grass :P

Thank you, omar.

That trouble has been solved. Finally the tarmac will be in 4096 x 4096. The quality is photorealistc now.

Preview:



More previews coming soon.

Quote from DANIEL-CRO :

probably you already found this jungle grass texture, but just in case its JA_HILL_t1ATEST.dds

release beta to avoid possible bugs

Noted, Daniel, thanks!

Well. I have a lot of work because I have discovered a new technique to increase the quality of the tarmac. 4096 x 4096. Of course, thanks to Braien. He told me the idea.

I made all the work in 2048 x 2048. To make everything in 4096 x 4096 I need to remade all from scratch.

I only have one file in 4096 x 4096 and it is the asphalt. Just this one, because it is the first file that I saw the trouble to save in this size.

I don't like the diference between the asphalt and the land or grass. I'm sorry.

For future works I will try to make everything in 4096 x 4096 BUT the trouble is the same. It's hard for my computer save in this size. 7 mins concretely and a lot of attemps to save.

I'm very sad by this situation and very frustrated.

The work, finally will be released in 2048 x 2048.

I'm sorry.

Fantastic job.

Much encouragement for more projects from you.

Brilliant!

Thanks!

Quote from xtremeracer83 :

Lynce,

I really must say - your work is absolutely INCREDIBLE!

I come back to check this thread every day I'm at work and, needless to say, I've yet to be disappointed. Keep up the great work!

I'm glad for your words. Thank you very much.

Quote from TurboBlaster :

Nice. Is there already known in which month this masterpiece will be released?

As soon as possible. Perhaps on August. But I am still not sure.

Quote from DANIEL-CRO :

I edited it on Blackwood, dont know now exactly files

think WSTgrsbitATEST.dds and WSTgrsbldATEST.dds

not sure which file for Fern Bay

I LOVE the suggestions. Thank you very much, Daniel. Noted and added to the list.

For me is not possible to quote all posts because I didn't expect the reaction of the people with all the comments that they made in one day. I only can say thank for your interest and for the nice comments, of course. I add that the criticism and flames are welcome also.

Another shot with another angle and illumination. In sunset looks a bit bright but I think is correct. Of course in this case is not possible to solve some little bugs. Some cuts on the texture.



Cheers.

looks awesome

Thank you!!

Quote from bishtop :

your welcome my friend and i look forward to the release..ive played around with textures myself in the past and i understand the amount of work you put into this. As many others will agree with me we are extremley grateful

Extremely hard, isn't it? Hehehehe. To develop, I mean.

Quote from FireMike15 :

Stunning quality, as I said. This is amazing, thanks for your work.

Thank you.

Quote from ImudilaSkyline :

It seems that the amount of effort you put into this project is endless, so I thank you for doing this for the community. Excellent quality as always.

Thank you very much.

Quote from Bose321 :

Loving the grass! Perhaps a little too bright for my taste but amazing otherwise.

On the blog can you see the reply. Thank you for your suggestion.

Quote from Velociround :

Lynce, every time I see a new post from you I get more impressed.

You really amaze me, my friend. You're an inspiration, someone passionate for what you do and with such desire to make a great work that produces very high quality fruits.

Thank you very much for keeping this kind of projects alive and I hope you are having a real good time making it.

Don't mind the bugs, they're basically not your fault: the way some textures have been created make it impossible to fix or make some different effects. I'm sure if you could make it even better without bugs you would, but sometimes there are some things that are just out of our scope.

Thank you very much my friend. Glad to see you here again.

Quote from Silverracer :

Great stuff! Thanks for doing all this.

Thanks!!

Quote from wildstyle :

Looks great!

Thanks!!

Quote from pako_customize :

Is it ready to chrismas Lynce ?

Perhaps before.

Quote from Omar1 :

amazing stuff!

Thanks!!

In my opinion I think you can do it much better really.

In the first seconds I was thinking every time "WoW". But at the end I have got the feeling that you are close to do a piece of art.

Anyway, currently you are a reference.

The best movie-maker in this forums.

Cheers.

Quote from Flame CZE :

Brilliant as always.

I totally understand that. I was trying to make some better textures for Kyoto Ring and while it looked great on oval, it was buggy and ugly on the National / Long roads. It is very hard to do the compromises.

The complete paragraph is on the Blog.

On the blog I talk briefly about the trouble with high resolution textures in Live for Speed.

The low resolution of the textures makes a perfect dissimulation job on Fern Bay.

If I increase the quality, bugs are increased too.

Thank you, Martin.

Quote from bishtop :

the grass texture looks brilliant my friend,it actually looks like grass unlike the original textures.i

Thank you, brother.



As always, bigger and all the information on RP's Blog:

[...But it is likely that this circuit will have unresolved bugs.]

Quote from dynofiend :

Amazing as ever, can't wait to see the finished product. Well done!

Me too. I'm very tired, hehehehe. But my motivation has been increased alot.

Thank you.

Quote from speeddemon6 :

It's great to see a community member that's this dedicated to making LFS a much better game. Same goes for Dekojester (host of the famous Kyoto 250 and 500).

You're all an inspiration to us!

Thank you very much for your words.


I'm working very hard and I have seen some bugs on some files, so I'm reworking textures to make a better compatibility.

Testing. Grass on the hill:



Almost finished.

Quote from bishtop :

amazing detail,its not just a slight improvement its a major improvement,im looking forward to the release and will thank you now for the big differences you make to lfs.

Thank you as always, brother.

You encourage me alot.

Quote from The Very End :

So crispy clear! Love it!

Quote from HonzaNB :

Your work is excellent

Quote from ImudilaSkyline :

Massive improvement!

Quote from Makhe97 :

I wish that my every track would look like that :-P

Quote from Speed Senna :

Looks amazing!
You are doing breathtaking work Lynce!

Quote from TuomasH :

Keep up the good work.

Thank you!!!

Quote from Bose321 :

No words can describe what you're doing right now. Top notch!

Now all we need is some tracks and cars that have a higher poly-count of around 5.

It's astonishing to see what a few textures do to a game...

Thank you, bro.

I totally agree with you with your second paragraph.

Of course, I was seeing in Live for Speed that is possible to improve everything.

Quote from Billy275 :

U really do amazing job, but can u give us a date or something when you will give us a link for the whole pack 2012?

Today, I mean right now, I am working on three LFS Projects (Revolution Pack 2012 - LFS Magazine - xxxxxx). So I think (but not sure) this work will be completed in 2012 (Maybe august?). I can't say the date because this is an error of my past works. Denominate a work with a exact date is a big error in my opinion.

The current status of the first "add on" is under the 40%.

Cheers.

Last one._



Thanks for the support and the comments as always from everybody.

Quote from dynofiend :

Lovely!

When racing I dont use a view which lets me see the car interior apart from the dials, so interior updates are not a problem.

I would like to see the trees worked on. You see them all the time when racing, and they are obviously low resolution even viewed from a distance.

About the trees I have commented the information some time ago in the RP:

http://revolutionpack.wordpres ... r-fern-bay-february-12nd/

I hope solve this trouble but I'm not sure.

Quote from The Very End :

That looks awesome! I love the transition from gravvel to grass, looks great!

Thank you but very difficult to make it. Frustrating. I'm not happy with the result of the grass.

Quote from bishtop :

WOW - looks amazing

Thanks!

Quote from PioneerLv :

Lynce for developer!

No, seriously, this is so eyecandy, just can't sit down with mouth shut, I have spent tons of hours in LFS.. Why devs don't want to spread out and give this sticky icky glued sim fresh breath? This is ridiculous.

Well, I believe in a democracy inside of the lfsforum. If the people want to me on the dev team just make a contact with them. I really think the devs can hear to the people for the most important things:

https://www.lfs.net/?page=mailus

I have some experience with another simulator. I mean the graphic design, marketing, web design, corporative design,etc. Just look X Motor Racing on "About us". I have appeared there.

http://www.xmotorracing.com/aboutus.html


If really the people want to me on the dev team, I'm totally sure the contact with the devs is just the right thing. Nothing more to say. I'm back to the work, hehehehe.

Quote from Bose321 :

Sorry for the off-topic: IIRC this is quite some old pack from the old LFSDatabase which I just uploaded under the same name (as there's no alternative name?).

I would like to provide everyone with a fast and trustworthy link in the future. So PM me if you want to see a file uploading on LFSDatabase.

Loving the things you do for LFS Lynce! Really loved the quality in the latest picture. Although I kinda miss some reflection in the front window? Is it possible for a less 'matte' reflection on the windows also?

Dear, Bose. How are you?

I don't understand well your question. I think you mean about the reflection system. The reflections works in the same way for all the car. Wheels, window and bodywork.


Cheers, Brother.

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

If it's not too much work, please include some high res tyre stacks and other objects in your work!

Noted. Thank you for your interest.

At today there are three suggestions.

Quote from shashdev :

I'd personally really like the FXR to be updated. But go for the GTR car which you can do the most with (closest to reality).

RB4 GT = 2

GTR Cars = 2 (One for FXR).

In my humble opinion...I need to make tests to see the most potential work. So, I don't know wich car is closest to reality. Maybe the XR GTR.

Thank you.

Quote from cargame.nl :

Is there some way we can sponsor this?

Especially the RAM is ridiculous and very cheap nowadays.

What mainboard is this?

Nothing happens. I can work very well. I have my own limitations but it is well.

Thank you, brother.

Quote from kart-36 :

RB4 needs a make over

Quote from bishtop :

yeah i agree its definitley in need of a make over

RB4 GT = 2

Quote from shashdev :

He's already done the RB4: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=38581

How about doing one of the GTR cars?

GTR Cars = 1 (Wich Car?)

Quote from bishtop :

that was a few years ago and i know that even though they are good textures they could be improved,the gtr class in my eyes dont look as bad as rb4

In my humble opinion, besides old textures, are obsoletes and has a very poor quality.

All your videos are an action and talent referent.

Quote from ImudilaSkyline :

flickr?

Hey, brother!

Well, really is an interesting option but really is not the same than imageshack or tynipic. It doesn't work in the same way.

Thank you anyway.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Imgur?

Just perfect. Thank you very much.


Next:

Suggestion for the second Addon. Wich Car?

Exception: FZ50 (Revolution Pack August 28th).

I was thinking on the RB4 GT, for example.

very good english my friend and easily understood.And great work on the textures i look forward to the release of them..
amazing work from a an amazing guy


respect

Thank you for your words. I really appreciate it.

Quote from sinanju :

I know they're far from the track, and they pass in a bit of a blur, but can anything be done with the spectators?

Especially the crowd top (t-shirt, etc) colours - too many orange, and not enough other strong colours.

Attached image shows crowd opposite pits at FE1 when looking close up in Shift U mode.

Noted. Thanks for your suggestion. This is for future works.


I'm looking for some alternative to imageshack and tynipic. Any suggestions?

Quote from Whiskey :

I've sent you a PM
//
Te he enviado un privado con un poco más de info

Thank you. I hope to use the program rightly.

Quote from Danas :

Really appreciated work, since the forum and the community has died out a little, nice that you still have motivation to make these awesome texture packs, always a pleasure to use your revolution packs, and see your work coming together.

I really appreciate your words in the same way. Thank you, Danas.

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

LFS don't deserve your great work and detailing. Looks amazing anyhow.

Amazing words from amazing guy. Nice to see you here again, Tomba. I hope to see you more often. I remembered your raw screenshots with the XR GT.

Cheers.



This is a little break to talk about the Revolution Pack. I hope people can understand my words because I have a serious limitations to explain it in english lenguage. Of course I am learning english in my free time to improve the ortography to talk in this forums.


Today I am on the 34% of the first addon.

Whean I start a texture I always see all the composition. On wich material is made. Then I see a lot of real photos around this theme. I go to the street to see in real life. I try to see in all illuminations.

The development is very hard because for one texture I use three or four real photos. It needs colour correction, brushed from scratch, work the dark and bright areas,... Is not easy. There are a lot of frustration moments. Moments that I stop the work to leave it for tomorrow.

The tests are the most important thing because that is the moment when you can see if the work line is correct or not and fix the bugs.


The second thing is ...for the second addon I was thinking seriously to make a High Resolution textures for a car. Of course the same line of the Revolution Pack August 28th(Complete Pack for the FZ50 /FZ50 GTR).

So, I ask, to the community, suggestions about it. I'm open for suggestions.

Quote from FireMike15 :

Nice detail.

Quote from ImudilaSkyline :

The details of these textures are just amazing, keep it up.

Quote from The Very End :

Looks mint!

Thank you vey much.

Quote from Whiskey :

This addon will make us slower in FE, we'll be looking at the ground and not to the corners

Impressive work making the textures photorealistic. Probably the most realistic textures I've seen in LFS.

--------------------------------
Lynce, sé que sería más trabajo, pero usando LFS Record puedes hacer fotos comparativas desde el mismo ángulo exacto y los mismos detalles, incluyendo polvo/humo.
Te lo digo solo por si nunca lo habías pensado y sacarlas a mano te aburre jeje

Hey, brother! How are you?

Im glad to see you here.

I didn'nt know about this program. I have two LFS folders. The first one are original files and the second one are the edited files. I don't know if I can have trouble and I don't know how to use the program.
