Anyone know anything about this "big render' script?

Looking around at most of the generated auto-x layouts, are well, just ramps ect..

I made up a few using the canadian rules, pointer cones ect.
Is there enough real-lifers around that we can start a series? (Single car at a time, ect) Of course there are some stuff that needs to be 'marshled' by the spectators, but LFS did an excellent job adding this in.

Yes I have, but if we're talking about the 'renderer' my snooping came up empty.

How are you getting the full size renders?
I started out using Ian's scense, with the limited trial of Brazil Rio.
Now I'm sure that not everyone can afford a license.. Someone mentioned to me once the 3ds script 'Big Render' I downloaded this, and have it available to load in 3ds, but am not sure how to use it.

If you guys are using something other then Brazil, a tip would be nice.. The basic scanline renderer made my car look like a plastic block.

Thank-you, can you also tell me on how to turn on the 'pivot' tool with rotate? At one point I can lay a tire on its back, now I can only rotate it standing up.

Yeah the second one turned out alittle wierd. The ground seem quite real, but I noticed the brick reflection as well.
But all in all that was day 1 with 3ds give me a week



Is there any way I can make the floor not reflect onto the car? Look at the side here.

my first few.

Thanks guys. Thats EXACTALLY what I needed. And it worked out great with ians scenes there. I did the brazil download on my first attempt a week back or so..

But i must of mucked somthing up terribly. Because my output is extreamly blurred and low quality

--------------------------
Ok must of fixed that by starting over.

Any tips on getting a chrisper skin? I did save it as a high quality jpeg at 1024x1024.. But as you can see with the bumper number, and 'sports car olympics' its still alittle fuzzy.

Hi guys.
Some of the renders in this thread are absoloutly amazing.. The quality of the model really comes out to life.

Now I just dug out LFS and purchased the s2 license a few weeks back. (Originally from 2003 s1) And created my very first skin..

Now I took a look through all the rendering tutorials I can find lately. With a few problems.
I can only obtain a temp copy of 3DSMAX 8.
I cannot find the *.CMX files with S2. Does anyone have a FXR mesh that will work with 3ds 8? If possible can you through in a scene?

And I don't want to burden anyone. Because I need to rework this with Real-live sponcers (Going to be a SCO ad) but if someone has the time to do me a quick one to see what the turn out would be. That'd be apperciated.. Oh, and if anyone visits the 'site' of the car. . I'm the red Isuzu in the rally-x and auto-x photos.

Thanks for the info. files, and or render
