Hey there! I am pretty new and today I finished my first skin ever.
I know it still has lots of ugly places, however I really would like to see it rendered.
Maybe someone is up for the task. Thanks in advance.
See ya later!

Quote from Jens O. :

@stam1na:

1. Choose hotlapping mode or any other singleplayer mode, press escape -> options -> view -> custom ... that's the menu with which you can play around - set "Draw: Body" so you see the car, then mainly change the X-, Y- and Z-Offset, Pitch and Rotate View.. then in your replays you can switch to this individual custom view with pressing V

2. Try upkey and downkey (the arrow keys)... another option is changing the field of view by pressing the key 5 or 6 .. that's not a real zoom but it looks like and may lead to nice effects (but also to odd views sometimes, especially if the FOV is >100°, so be careful )

hope this is any helpful

This was very helpful! Danke Jens! I will try everything as soon as possible and hope I can record some nice movies later.

I got 2 questions, hopefully someone knows the answer.
1. How do I fix the camera to the car, so that I don't have to take care about car movements? The camera should, for example, always point to one of the tyres, no matter if the car drives a turn or not. I wasn't able to find this out myself.
2. How do I zoom in and out while recording and without using the SPACE-bar interface?
I tried + - but they didn't work. I saw this being done in a few movies. I sure hope they didn't use the standard camera for those effects...

Hey there!
I am STAM1NA from Germany.
My friend introduced me to LFS which I thought was a copycat of NFS until I saw it. I now bought my own license and drove my first few rounds - most of the time in the FBM. On Blackwood I can finish a round in ~1:16 minutes. Which is still 2 seconds short of most of the other guys, but makes me already quite happy. I love close racing and can happily say that there have been no crashes on my behalf... yet. See ya.
