Bogey Jammer, I have 2 FBMs in my scene, but when i put a skin on one, it automatically goes onto the other one aswell and it ends up with the 1 skin streched over the 2 cars

EDIT: I figured it out, you have to press 'u' and select "object & obdata & materials & text" for both cars

Applying a new skin to one affect the second car is due to the fact they share the same material. But I don't know exactly why the skin is stretched. I've just performed a test and the skins of both cars were OK.
I think you've deleted the "SKIN TEXTURE" datablock and added a new one. To make it working, check if the "UV" button is pressed in the "Map Input" tab in the material editor.
To apply different textures on the cars, you must create a new material. Select the body material and the "add new" command will just duplicate it. Check if the two bodies of the cars don't use the same material. Then assign the new texture to one of them.

Needs probably illustrations... will do it later :tired:

Dude you got to tell me how you can add mods and so on please, i beg you. I want to learn so bad, any tutorials or whatever?

hey bro, lol hes begging now lol, its easy as pie, i didnt use any tutorials, except this 1, i just had a fiddle with differant settings and stuff, i only just got it the other day, i cant b buggard explaning here, do you have msn? pm me and we can talk

Hmm, I can't seem to get the reflective floor...
I've done exactly what was said in the tutorial, but in all my renders the floor stays black...
Apart from that, excellent work Bogey!

EDIT: I've attached a render of the RAC, with the reflection on. It just appears as a shadow behind the car and tyres...

What are your floor material settings? maybe something is not activated.

How can I get rid off that black area showing on the render?

not sure, its like the skyline i think, i just angle the camera down so u dont see it but i dono, ive been trying 2

I've put the cam higher, but still curious how to remove it as others seem to have the background smooth.

Btw, another question: How do I rotate the front wheels of the car (as if steering). I tried moving them in the same way as with camera but they are rotating around cars center, and they consist of several parts. Any tips?

hey how can i reduce the lighting because every time i render something i end up with bunch of white patches which look really gay. See attachment

This looks great, but the mediafire download doesn't seem to be working, can anyone post a different link to it?

I've attached a screenshot of the material menu for the floor. It's as default, except for the changes mentioned in the example. Could you take a look and tell me if anything's wrong? Thanks!

It's the world background, you can hide it from render to get it transparent by pressing the "prem" button, below the "RENDER" button in the render menu. Press "sky" button to show it again.

The white patches are caused by specular shader I've set up to simulate the sun reflections. Unfortunately, the setting is not well suited for all the car shapes.
Move the sun light to put the shines on sharp or rounded surfaces rather than flat faces or play with the specular shader setting.

Try it again, it seems to work for me.

Thanks

what should I do in order to setup a mirror standing vertically on the other side of the car, to reflect the graphics that is unseen from the camera? thanks
