Quote from logitekg25 :

just wondering, is that an error?

Bigger:

From RP's Blog

Yes, is a normal error in LFS(I think). There are cut lines (in black) in some zones. Even inside of mountains(White line). But when you focus the camera in 10º-40º angle vision, the trouble is fixed.

Quote from Flame CZE :

I can't see any errors there...

At a glance, normally, it be not see any errors.

Tested and finished. At last...


As always, bigger on RP's Blog.

Finally the landscape has been reworked from scratch using another texture, adding new color, adding the coast line, adding another atmosphere effects to be compatible with all the contents in Fern Bay:

Quote from _Keitaro_ :

I can see interesting technicue there (using cures for reflections hm) Lynce where did you learn everything? Any tips? Thanks for comment btw!

From my C.V.:


" I'm a professional graphic designer since 8 years. My title is focused on layouting applied to the graphic design for publishing houses.

I specialized in various disciplines of graphic design as graphics, designs, artistic design, drawing design and artistic draw and photo editing.

Paralely, I have been working in advertising and marketing focused to the world of insurance, finance,car sales and construction. Today I'm working on Norwich union insurance (Called Aviva in Spain). A British company.

And in my spare time, I am fond of 3D and textured, assembly and professional video editing. I've done some work for communities and business".

Maybe that can give you a idea.

About your question, brother. I'm not anyone to give advice but, don't stop to work. Really this is the secret to make professional works. School of life. Have an interest in learning everything.

Cheers, Keitaro. I hope to see you more times in this thread.

Quote from Flame CZE :

Good job as always. Nice angle and the sky seems to be turned off

Thank you. Is the new Sky of Fern Bay.

Quote from Neto_r :

can we add this pack and dont affect the other revollution pack?


regards

Affects to the Rp from April 7th. There will be new Skies and reflections.

Is a improvement of that work.

Quote from AndRand :

I just assume it is time-consumming and I admire you make sso many things with so much quality


I was thinking about something else - the reflection textures are in static .dds so no changing of advertisements around tracks are possible?

Yeah, is not posible. Is not a shader. The dds file do not reflect the track in real time. I mean.

Quote from brandons48 :

I know what Lynce's Top Secret addon is!


It's S3!

Hahahahaha.

That is the "power" of the developers. I cannot make anything about that.

Quote from Tazka :

With Lynce's textures the game already looks like s3 compared to the original textures.

Wow!!. I'm glad by your words.


The secret addons is just to make a gift/surprise. I hope you like it.

And.... The landscapes is the most dificult work inside the current RP.

I'm still working on the landscape of Fern Bay without any positive result. Remember: 3 sunlight positions, congruence to the current track and vegetation, shadows, color gradient effect on the distant zones,etc.

Cheers!!

Quote from _Keitaro_ :

Okay here i come with an edit. Always wanted to paint something like this :P It was A LOT of work. 2 days of doing nothing but edit, probably because i was failing and fooling a lot lol. It was very hard to do and i know it's not perfect. Scene od edit was updated. Doors and interior were 100% painted. References were photos of my car, and for the geometry check 3ds max (thanks to my friend goes here!) Please check full resolution, preview is too small.

In your line. Amazing as always.

Quote from Drift King CZ :

Mmm, Lynce, I'm not sure if you can fix this, but there's a bit trouble with FZR, because there's reflection on the panel where you can see RPMs, gear and speed and in various tracks in various moments you can't see anything. Is it possible to fix this part somehow or not?

I'll try to fix it but I can promise nothing, my friend. Thanks by your comment. Interesting suggestion.

Quote from brandons48 :

What do you mean by the second addon being "Top Secret" ? Did you mean Top Secret as in the drifting/tuning company?

Or Top Secret as in you're not telling us

Hahahahahahaha!!

Well... I know is a stupid sentence " Top secret", but my english, as I said in another moment, is very poor.

Quote from AndRand :

:bowdown:


How come you have time to develop such amazing things in so many projects?

Really, I didn't understand well your question. Thank you, anyway.

I can say one thing. This is just a hobby. Maybe I put a lot of passion.

As I said in the first post on this thread the idea that I don't want to be the best or make better works than the rest of people. You can see the post number two, I have put my favourite texture artists.

About the time, I know perfectly how I can make a good planning by objectives to make this current Pack for that date (Well, almost sure). July 1st.




On topic:

Note. Another important question is. What happens if I want edit the new reflections and Skies. What is the posible result?

I was thinking on that, for the photoshopers, inside of lfsforum.net (obviously the result is near of video edition).

The result:

Please, Now I prefer by honest. This work is in the same line of the latest works(Revolution Pack April 7th, August 28th and Christmas Gift). Doesn't mean that the current work will be a perfect work or much better than the earlier. I go to try to make it as real as posible but I'm not god.

Thanks by the comments and encouragements.

Troubles._

The blackwood Clear Day file needs a small improvement on the ilumination of the clouds.

The clouds, reflect almost the 100% of the shiney. The Sky is not reflected in all the perspective and there are a degradation and looks in black colour in some zones.

The Study of the elements and the incidence of the light has more variations than "Bright and darker".

Troubles in some textures._

There are the same file (reflections) for various tracks. The study of the elements is more important in these 4 cases. More general, perhaps.

Troubles on the Landscapes._

It needs a lot, a lot, a lot of work. One file to three diferent illuminations. Three sunlight positions.

More work on the shadows.

More work on the coast line. There are a "cut and paste" effect.


Sorry by my poor english.

Very nice, not sure about the road marks in the middle, theyre not for racers/drifters, but awesome for cruisers.

About this picture :


I think the reflection doesn't look good on this one, its all stretched it seems, especially on the top of the door. Sorry to make you feel bad or whatever, and I do understand your not done with it, I'm just pointing it out.

Amazing comment as always, my friend. As my brother says(Tazka ), is by the LFS Reflection System based on a pibotable texture. But I really think Eric Bailey been made an amazing work, anyway.

Thank you to all by the comments, as always.

"The trouble making the new reflection texture on Fern Bay Clear Day is add the most important element..."

Note very important: About white cars._

In the parts when is darker, the bodywork receive light from all directions. This effect makes the car be more reflective.

Real examples._

Quote from DevilDare :

Nice one.

What about other colours? Can you show us some white car previews maybe?

Or is it designed to work best with black?

Yeah, on a few minutes. I go to take some shots in another colours.

About your question, I work in the optimization in all colours. Even Skins.

The trouble is the optimization in grey cars and metallic Skins (Dispersion of the light on bodywork).


The documentation about this addon is very exhaustive. I need to see photos from real cars in almost all colours inside of the context of the current ilumination in the dds that I am working.

Quote from brandons48 :

The bit on the bonnet/hood looks a little wierd, looks really pixelated.

+1. Yeah. The current pic is just a preview of the study of the light. 10% aprox. completed (The next is the study of the elements, dispersion of the light in grey colours and metallic Skins,etc). I use some trees to see a reference preview to see something near of the final result.

Quote from Furiously-Fast :

LFS is still DX7 though.

Some people say it is DX8, dunno the difference though. :P

+1.

Next post on a few minutes. Some previews.

Quote from lukelfs :

That looks incredible! LFS needs this in the Offical installer, optional Lynce - High res Textures ,

Does the same trick work in other tracks (Seperate reflection .dds files for each track), or is the reflections for all tracks

Thank you, luke.

About your question, in LFS there are 15 dds files exclusively for reflections. In one case, there are the same reflection for 3 tracks. In another case there the same file for two tracks. The rest it is independent.

Finally, I will work on each dds file as Blackwood clear day. Putting a lot of work to do a genuine file. Well... as always... (I think).

Blackwood clear day. FZ50 with Rosso Corsa colour. Almost finished. Testing the contrast of the elementes and clouds. Improving ilumination for the dark areas. The documentation in this iluminations is completed.

Quote from Bose321 :

It looks purely awesome, have to say that.

Only thing;

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/1347/31497440.jpg - It looks great, but has a reflection from the pitlane on the hood?

http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2175/81159717.jpg - Not sure if the reflection of that big tire should reflect on the hood. I'd say it's too far away, or is the the angle of the camera?

Hi Bose321,

Remember that is a texture. Important elements will be reflected in the same camera angle. The pits will be reflected in any part of the track, but always remember that a balance must be sought (That is the reason to publish pics in the post number 342, to see that is not a miracle, just a trick and an optical effect.). It is hard job to work with the current reflection system. Anyway it is nice the result.

Thanks for your comment.

Some shots. FZ50 in Grigio Reventón colour. Testd in white reflections and with Skins. Almost finished. Blackwood Clear Day.

Cheers.

@Mysho. Thank you.

Real time reflections. Is not a shader. Is only a dds file. The idea is to reflect important elements of the scenario in dds.
