Quote from Tweaker :

OT: Is it just me... or do those reflection textures look horrid to anyone else here??? I mean, so bright and cartoony, ughhhh Totally unrealistic and you can hardly even see a skin

Thats the high-res reflection pack and I think it looks more realistic than the original reflections of lfs...

Skins ready, scroll up to first post.

Quote from alco64 :

Are you going to be making a light and dark version like what you did for Aston?

Yes, it'll be the same.

Kyoto Reworked

Another texturepack for Kyoto:

• Tarmac light & dark in 2048 px²
  
• Grass, sandtraps in 2048 px²
  
• High-Res Curbs (new / old)
  
• Green pitlane

Screenshots: (mixed from both light & dark version)


You can see the difference of the old and new tarmac textures in this screenshot: Bild

Good suggestion!

Quote from axus :

put some dust and bits of grass on the edges of the curbs because they look a bit... out of place.

Nice tip, I'll try this...

Quote from axus :

They might need a bit of sharpen filter methinks.

Just the curbs or all textures? I won't apply any more filters to the tarmac nor the grass, because I think the tarmac looks good now and the grass would look like a pure noise filter from photoshop...

But yes, the curbs need work...

Quote from sil3ntwar :

Well remember that Eric is doing a texture update for Kyoto so you might want to wait till thats done.

I don't think he'll use high-res textures. May be better then the ones we have now, but still 1024... and they look a bit too blury for me.

Quote from sil3ntwar :

The only issue i have is the white concrete strip behind the curbs looks a bit ugly.

I think white looks better then the original green... but you can change this easily... just swap the texture with the old one.

And thx! I want to do Kyoto in a similar way...

New Aston Textures

• New tarmac texture (2048 px² | light & dark version)
  
• New grass textures (2048)
  
• New curbs (3 Versions: blue&red, red, blue)
  
• New colors in pitlane (blue and new red)

Screenshots:


16xAF & 8xAA used in all screenshots

I know the rar-file's bit confusing, but this was the quickest way. If you want to use the default textures of my pack, just unzip the dds-files which aren't in a subfolder. If you want to use the dark tarmac textures unzip the textures in the darctarmac-folder. Thats it.

Quote from Jimik(CZE) :

how did you make these "rain drops" on the cars pls

Quote from XCNuse :

looks like he just got a picture of raindrops, and just used it as a texture on a layer and thats it..

No. :P
I did them myself with a little help of a tutorial...

Just search for a raindrop tutorial on google...

Quote from VALE 46 :

..

I know. :P
But if I did the spraying stronger, too much of the pic would be white. :P

Did another one:

It's hard to get the spraying right on the first car... :/

and start to get used to thubnais :P

?
Thumbnails? I created one this time, but the forums creates a simple link to the image. :P
/edit: Oh, I just saw an option in the ucp... *addsthumbnail

I tried to add the spray... it's not very good, but I like it...

Quote from XCNuse :

@thunder; its there.. its kinda hard to see it, but its certainly there

I took a closer look, and yeah, there's a window... very hard to see, because of missing reflections... look at the windows on the sides, the front window should look similar to them, but it doesn't. ^^

But nevertheless, it's still a nice pic.. ^^

Quote from XCNuse :

let me guess; you used mental ray?

I think so too..
And he rendered it without errors... don't know why, but my renderes have little black squares in it, if I render with MR... i get less errors by editing the materials, there are always some errors...

But the render's good..

Quote from XCNuse :

and another

Looks like the front window's missing... ^^
But it looks good.

Would be great to see this feature in LFS.

We had other conditions on rsc... there was one thread for renders, renderhelp and the cmx importer...

Now we have a board and the possibility to open more threads...
If we only have one thread in one board, we can remove this board...

Why using one thread for all renders? Thats like posting all skins of all cars in one thread...

The way with more threads is better, so you don't have to search a thread with +100 pages if you want to find some renders...

Quote from Palex :

forgot to say that these scenes wre provided by Ian H. I made the skin (obviously) and played a bit with the angles and rendering options

NO! That are MY Scenes as you can see here:

(you need to register)

Why does everybode think my scenes are made by ian?!!!
MY NAME'S EVEN IN THE README FILE!!! ><

Sry, but thats the third one who says, that my scenes are ians... :<
