Already in the books

I didn't think I would have internet where I am right now so I came up with an idea before I left

Jak you have potentially just become the most famous person on the forum, like a test subject, with everyone wondering "where will he go next?!"

lol and you didn't even have to try hard at all

Quote from lukelfs :Well my definition of 'Touge' is just a mountain road, so i dont see why a battle should be going on or having more than one car,
Definition from Wiki, Touge|峠|tōge is a Japanese word literally meaning "pass." It refers to a mountain pass or any of the narrow, winding roads..

Yes but this is where the confusion set in for a lot of us, this is what the rules stated:
Quote :Create a picture depicting a Touge battle of some description. Picture must look like the event is taking place on something vaguely hill-like.

Not getting on anyone's case, just pointing out that it said battle for those that read the rules closely

Yea lol if the rules were 100% strict then this would only be against 3 images that actually have a "battle" going on lol

Quote from leonardo555 :My new DUB rim

That wheel is very flat, there is no depth to anything, it is all flat surfaces, are you sure that's how the wheel looks?

@JJ Yea paper some sketches, they don't need to be amazing drawings, they just need to be key portions of the car like headlight design and a rear pillar or something to problem solve, the rest can be worked by improv.

Materials can use some work.

But my main concern is your modeling, that is a VERY bumpy model to say the least.

Next time post an unsmoothed wireframe shot and I can point out some places for you to improve.

Oh by the way, make a different thread or something too, this thread is for LFS cars (hence the title )

Quote from logitekg25 :i compared the two tires side to side, and i cant see any difference

Because you don't know what to look for

@r4ptor, the wheel model though isn't fixed, or are you just not going to worry about it? Up close it isn't pretty but from far back you will never notice it so.. not a big deal unless you keep making these up close shots of the wheel and tire

Quote from e2mustang :aight it will stay like that,its good for me,i dont know anything in max,i didnt make the rim,neither the tires,but i can make that tire better.

EDIT: ok how about this tire?

from what I can see, I can't tell if it is reflective or not, if it isn't, I think it's good, I like it, a bit more specular would be nice but it's just fine how it is right now!

View car/interior at LFS.net?

You know those view cars in 3d at car's websites?

It may seem kind of dumb, but does anyone else think it would be kinda cool to see the cars's interior and exterior if you were buying the game?

Obviously this will be done when all the interiors are redone and all the cars look nice.

Pointless.. probably, but what do you think about it as a replacement for the quarter shots of all the cars?


Posted poll so you don't have to respond.

That isn't the original interior smarty pants
But even that isn't a celica interior, it is similar, but quite different from all the ones I've seen.

No, the XRs have the interior from [supposedly] Eric's 3000 GT
the interior is similar I should say to the 3000gt, very close at least, obviously modeled after it.

No it isn't a supra of any sort, I knew that.

I can't find any year celica that looks like it either.
What is the RB4's interior from?

I always forget to take two shots and it keeps messing me up, it is WAY better to take 2 shots than it is to deal with the cars and all that mess.

Just makes life much easier and you spend less time if you're doing any kind of blurring.

Quote from Jakg :Ok, good look playing your games using Virtual PC - it's obvious you really have done no research at all.

What, do you honestly think a game that has these spec requirements:
66mhz processor
8mb RAM
1mb VRAM

Not run well even virtually...?
That is near impossible to imagine..

It's not like it hasn't been done before, Apple did it before..
Did anyone complain then? Not really.


@logitek I mean if you want to talk about saving money then all that comes down to is the waiting game..
There hardly ever is a "right" time to buying a computer (for the most part)

Quote from e2mustang :ok,why,and why?

Center cap on your wheels, they all pinch together and you have smoothing, the best way to fix this, is to chamfer the edge, and instead of having triangles go to center, just make one big poly with like .. however many edges (make it a solid poly instead of a bunch of triangles)

tire material, try and use a standard material and make it a bit darker, it looks like plastic right now, it is WAY to reflective

Quote from Jakg :Pray tell - how will 7 make your old games run better than Vista did?

7 has an emulation feature, yes it's emulated.. but I would much rather suffer a slight graphical and calculation hit which won't matter since they are such older games, than .. having nothing at all than Vista

@Logitek, just think of it this way.. it is MUCH safer waiting until they start shipping computers with 7 instead of buying it, the price is ridiculous at best...

Yes, however.. Windows 2000 was made for business, not for home users, Vista.. is not a business model (.. what a surprise aye?) Windows ME was the base of typical users, ME was the GUI and consumer base for XP while 2000 was the internal base of networking for XP

ME had much more to offer the typical user than Windows 2000, if ME didn't come out there would be a lot of things missing from today's typical system such as system restore, static virtual drives, automatic updates, compressed folders (which came from 98 SE but was rather improved to make it... useful), only one to allow USB mass storage devices without downloading drivers from the internets (which was semi rare in homes the internet, it was slowly making its gain though)

Yeh.. I know 7 is based off Vista..

Exactly the same is how XP is from ME..
Just like I said it...


Honestly I love vista, the only problems I have with it are driver issues because I won't reformat and get a clean start, but rather have junk from 2 years ago, but don't feel like spending the money to fix this simple problem. And slight graphical or sound issues with old '98 games, those are the only problems I have, and they aren't even big ones.

7 is a huge leap.. in the right direction (minus the price)

Yep I watched it.. in a new way I didn't know possible! When you download just say Open As and open with LFS and don't need to do any extra work! Thank God I almost made up an improvement suggestion lol

He hit the barrier.

It's the damage model bug, there is nothing you can do about that right now, it's been like that for years now, but hopefully we may see it dampened down whenever the next patch comes out.

7 Is going to be amazing, how do you not know this? It's going to be the best Windows OS ever, Vista is like Windows ME, ME was AWFUL it was beyond dreadful, it crashed at every turn, nothing ever worked.. but without ME, we would've never had XP, for Vista it's the same thing, it's just a medium phase.

How do I know? Just read some tech news like Engadget or Gizmodo or the such, it isn't hard to find that 7 is going to be amazing, heck it's going to have wifi to wifi adhoc, that is something no other OS has right now...

Like it's not hard to find it...

again, USB hubs.. great invention.. not expensive, only uses 1 port, gives you 4+ more

@morpha, editing the track would be the last portion of that:
"which allow online cheating or circumvent HLVC"

if you modified the track to take a different route, then that would be cheating.
