right iv been playing while photoshop and 3d studio max for a while, and iv been making skins for my cars, but the thing is how do i????

*render 2 cars at the same time with differant skins on each car. (can it be done through 3ds max or do you have to render each car then chop then together in photoshop???)

*add a background, even if its just that mirrored floor, i really havent a clue..

oh and how to you change wheels??? (not to bothered About this one just yet, its more the first 2 please)


oh also how do i make them high detailed/quality, they just seem a little low rez at the min..


thanks in advance nathan..

as long as you aint getting a woody on, then your normal, while all your school mates are thinking there all big and hard drinking away and getting stoned, your out doing stuff that should be done, and when it comes the time to take your driving test, you will be more confident and experainced, then you can laugh at all your mates, when your driving round in your own supra while there still in there learner cars....

but 1 think i must stress is although your cousin sounds great for letting you drive the car, remember its illegal too drive on the open roads at 14...

but on an other note, you will prob loose intrest in all that car business when you finally get laid, because that always has a better ending

how you guys do all backgrounds and floors are they done in 3d max or photoshop???

im liking the look of that LOL


the bloke onlt lives 60 miles from me and at £20 each i think thats a right bargain.... so theres no way of getting more that 2 monitors on one machine, well unless you have sli...

ill try and find something on it, im sure i read it somewhere when i joined...

it states when you buy s2 that you can email the devs for extra unlocks ...

i really like that mate

how do i find out my ping during lfs???
