hi guys im thinking of creating a website community for LFS consistings of Mods and 3d renders etc. i have done 3d modelling for about 10 years now and want to know any information regarding mods for LFS. if anything will be released for 3rd party etc and if any of the LFS designers and programmers have any qustions regarding my venture or any other information.

Will we ever be able to "tinker" with current versions etc ?

thanks

LFS (hopefully) doesn't support 3rd party mods.
But a website dedicated to 3D LFS renders, why not

fair enuf, either way im sure im gonna crack on with the site and hopefully programmers etc will help me in the way of links and using this section of the forum as the main site forum link (if u understand that !)

anyone got any ideas on names, was just gonna go for LFSRenders.com etc etc

thanks

Crack LFS? that's a sensitive topic...
Other people managed to crack it to include their custom car but for some reasons they ended up quickly.
Rfactor is better for modding.

He didnt mean crack like that, he meant crack on as in start doing the website

yeh crack on as in start the website, not start cracking LFS lol.

im jsut interested in wondering if its worth doing, would like to do it but is their the fan base to use the website ?

:dunce: sorry for my mistake, my brain's dictionary have just earned a new word :dopey:

bit off topic but, Bogey Jammer?
Is there any other real cars for Blender?
I searched google buy no luck.

no problem bogey. so good idea everyone thinks ?

yeah, gimme some motivation

a place to showcase some scene and body mods, and possibly host some stuff for public use is always great.

yeh that would be what its about. what sort of sections would you like on the website ?

Categorized render galleries, a categorized mods download area (with compulsory multi-format files for user compatibilities). Mod creation challenges (like masterskinnerz). A modelling tutorial section. Faq section, forum, etc...

PS: I also suggest an Art tutorial section, to learn how to make something beautiful (a beautiful fashion skin, a beautiful rim, an aerodynamic bodykit, art tendencies and philosophies, 3d scene lightning, etc...)

You know what you REALLY should have?
A downloads section, where you can download scenes for
blender, 3ds max + brazil, and just 3ds max scenes.
Because i cant find anything (garages, rims, wheels, backgrounds, ANYTHING) to use for blender or 3DS Max. There are loads for 3DS max with brazil, but some of us don't have brazil

But you have to make sure this website looks professional :P if it just looks a bit pah then i doubt itll become popular.

Dyu have any examples of any sites you have done before?

Edit: Bogey jammers second suggestion about tuturials would be very useful.

sounds good guys, i will incorporate all of these brilliant ideas into the website

i have come up with the name, SlaveToTheGame and it will be Slavetothegame.co.uk very shortly.

i thought to go for a more universal name as extra sections for not just only LFS can be added instead of just LFSRenders.com or somehting like that

any more thoughts would be great !

thanks again !!!

I prefered lfsrenders

so everyone else like lfsrenders ?

A name like "SlaveToTheGame" would have the same effect than "Gamershell", so nothing, until the site will get its reputation which is hard. You should try something else more suggestive, but not too much like "lfsrender" especially if you want to put other games content.
However my brain is too lazy this evening to make a list of names for the site. Maybe I'll try later..

RacersRenders
RaceRenders
ThatGamesRenders
GameRenders
RacingRenders

I know they all suck but meh at least its an idea.
Dont buy the website name until we can all decide on one.

I love Thatgamesrenders

yeh that sounds good

Well then the name seems to be decided unless someone else wants to jump in and say something different?

Btw have you started on the website yet? Got a layout thought up?

yeh have started yesterday but pc problems at moment, will now get on to gettin domain thatgamesrenders.co.uk ?

thatgamesrenders.com or .net would be more friendly.

heres a quick preview, still not finished only outline really. any suggestions ?
