Today, i was experimenting with Rendering because i have seen some of the work on this site and i must say im in awe.

This was my first experiment with the Turbo:

Please note that i did not make ANY of these skins and do not claim ownership of them. i did not edit any aspects of them and do not plan too. Im planning on starting some S2 skins when i get S2 in May.

Critism welcome and expected and also any tips on improvement i would gladly accept and appreciate.

Anyone have a free program that i can d/l because Bryce5 is kind of a low quality rendered and im looking for something of a higher quality.

I Downloaded 3d Max version 6 / Brazil / Cmx Plugins but they dont show up in 3d Max and the UK tutorial i d/l'ed was too vague and i kept getting lost. Anyone interested in helping me? =\

Been a loooong time since I messed about with bryce (didn't know much about 3D stuff then either) but my attempts were never as good as those

Brazil should have instructions on how to install it but make sure you edit your '/3DSMax/plugin.ini' file to point to brazil. Most plugins that have multiple files (such as brazil) need to be added to that file, for example, my old 3DS 8 file for the directories section looks like:


And my brazil location was '3DSMax8/plugins/brazil' (which matches the above).

The 'cmximp.dli' plugin just needs to be dropped into your '3DSMax/plugins' dir, no entry required in the plugin.ini file for that.

File->Import... should then make a .cmx file filter availble.

Brazil IIRC needs to be setup from within the render settings window, first tab, at the bottom.. 'Assign Renderer'.

I don't have 3DS installed on this HDD so this is off the top of my head and from what I can read of the semi-busted slave HDD, but hope that helps a bit.



Regards,

Ian

Bryce5 can render in high quality this one is about in the middle.

Edit.

I want to create something like this in the future: [Made by Sp3cTr3]
http://www.lfsforum.net/attach ... tid=5152&d=1137351758

The difference between what i have now and the above pic is the backround. I want to make the backround that dark gray color so the car looks smooth, instead of blueish white that bryce has. Even a full white backround would work, but i dont know how. Any tips? And is there any way of saving the picture to a better quality format. When i save them as a max quality JPG, they come out blurry and not as sharp as a PNG would come out. Any help? My aim is to get rid of the car reflection under it. If you notice in the above link, there is no reflection. I dont want one either.

Btw are there any more downloads i need for Bryce? I downloaded the car files off your site and thats what ive been using, but is there a way to download a gray backround with no sun and clouds, but rather lighting effects?

BTW can you make an XFG for Bryce?

i will have a think about the backround. but atm i have no time in the week because of work. can you send me the car skin its beter that way i can see how it will look.
try playing around with sky & fog at the top of the screen, you can change a lot with the small pictures underneath by holding the right mouse button down over the picture and dragging. and there is a small arrow to the right of sky & fog this will bring up all the day and night sky.
you can change the floor to anything you like but look in Edit to the left of Sky & fog and click on the little arrow this will open up all the floor texture.

i will start work on the XFG tomorrow.

Yeah man its getting there.
you can change the shadows if you need to. click on sky & fog 2nd pic from the left.

try this.
click create and make a big sphere at the back of the car so it fills the screen. and change the colour to wot you wont, this way you can still use the sky as a reflection on the car.

http://img.photobucket.com/alb ... 0nS2000/FXOblkrimsATL.jpg

IMO the white looks better. The shadows could use some PS help but that will come later. What do you think?

Btw hows the XFG coming?

Yep better and better.
you need to work on the tyres. you have two deferent colours it will look better with the same colour.
highlight all 4 tyres by holding the shift key and clicking one at a time all 4 will be highlighted then click the little M just to the right of the highlighted tyres, this will bring up the Materials Lab so you can lighten or darken the tyres.

XFG soon

Didnt know that, thanks! Any tip on how to make shadows under the car without having sunlight. The sunlight makes the car too bright, and creates shadows off of the wing and mirrors and i dont want those. Id rather just have the shadow of the car from global light instead of environmental light.

Click on sky and fog then click on the small cloud at the top of the screen, this will open sky lab. you can turn the sunlight off in there.
click on create the yellow icons along the top of the screen or you lights.

The lights dont create shadows, just really bright white spots on the car.. Hmm.

Ive got 3Ds 7 now, ive installed the Brazil in all the proper places [i think] and i have the CMX converter. The car shows up in 3ds, but i get these:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/Sp00nS2000/Errors.png

and because the renderer is missing, i can only get the following type of image from rendering:

Any help or tell me what im doing wrong?

Quote from XCNuse :

They are. Brazil is in the folder, i made a brazil.ini in the directory, i made a new 3ds shortcut and changed the target to brazil.

I am still getting these errors.

Im getting frustrated.. Lol.

XFG Done.
