Quote from samyip :That is not HDRI you making. You are only making an ordinary environment map. HDRI stands for High Dynamic Range Illumination. Which means it has many different light exposure informations in one single file. Imagine that is like taking 12 photographs of the same image but with different stops of exposures (from very dark to very bright) and all those informations are all stored in the one file.

Yeah, u right.
Dont know why i called it hdri. And now im thinkin how to make it into .hdr file for max. Think with hdrshop i can do that. And as im using mentalray i think im gonna leave the final production blending till last.

Well some more progress. Starting to look like an XRT. Still alot to be modeled. I think im half way now .
cnc please

Quote from ramtech :I know how to make vertical or horizontal panoramics, i dont know how to make one that goes both ways though.. how do u stitch the photos together?

u dont really stitch them...

u just make sure it ends as a seamless texture. And it should line up when it gets stretched in 3dMax into a 360° HDRi (sphere). also u make multiple horizontal pano's under multiple vertical angles and stitch them with autostitch(works better then photoshop). And after that make sre its all seamless.

Some progress of the day..
cnc alwayz welcome


btw. if u want to really get a huge HDRi image u can alwayz set the perspective(zoom) on the camera in lfs to smallest. But that way u'll have to make a lot of images in 360° direction. And also alot in different angles..(pointing the camera towards the ground and sky). But on max i think maybe images of sizes like 50000px n maybe even higher can be generated. U never really need that much unleess u planing on making some huge(building size) billboard.

Well guyz,

After around half a year having fun with max, i think its time to slowlly start some propper projects in 3D for me. I come from a graphics designer background but felt like i was missing out on somethin. And thats 3D art boyz .
Anywayz, as being a very lazy and unmotivated person i think its great that there're forums, where kind people give some feedback and motivation to keep u going.

So for my first project ive been asked to design a site for a new lfs team. Before ive done it this team is not recruiting or whatever so this is basiclly a start of a team. And for the Header ive desided that it would be nice to have an XRT smoothed on a nice background from lfs. For the teams name we chose "Hashiriya Touge(HT)". And as that meaning "underground (mountain) pass" i thought the spot that reminds me of the Touge the most in all the LFS levels is FernBay. So my plan is to make a 360 degree HDRi image for rendering in 3D. And when i have a smoothed XRT it should look real nice if i get the materials right.

So i decided on a spot in Fern Bay.

360 hdri's are actually pretty simple to make if u think bout it.
Just get fraps or any sort alike software to make screenshots ingame.
The deside a spot u wanna be the centre of ur hdri map and go there. And the just basicly make sure that every screenshot u take is about on the same level as the one before it. Hopefully u get it. Otherwise i could explain a bit better...
Here's a try. I like that corner.
ofcourse the original file is at least twise as big (resolution wise)


And here are some test renders of my WIP on the smoothed XRT. Its obviously not a game model anymore and detailes aren't yet finetuned.
But hopefully with your motivation i'll do it soon.(Very little free time for personal projects:shrug







btw. all the notDemo stuff was fcourse done at my friends house who has the full acount.(jst in case) Ill deff get the full game ones i (poorass student) can get a nice wheel and LFS at the same time. Till then i think its useless to play full LFS with the mouse too much competition.

Man, ive been at my friends house again in ages. He's got a G5 so i told him to get into 3D. And Blender is what hes got. So, me after bout half a year workin with max, and all high from nice strong weed late @ night, started to figure out the basic shortcuts.. And man this Blender is soo simple. It reminds of Xsi abit. Not that im an xsi user, just tried it..

But yeah, what i would advice is just chek the basic help for key shortcuts and basic tools. Thats how u start to learn. But yeah that night we made a gun

it depends man.
Most of the time its a picture in 3D on a plane(background). So it seems like its really there. Or it could be a 360 hdri image.
Or indeed it could be justa model on black background and edited in photoshop...

i wonder if anyone has ever corrected any models to smooth them for render purposes. Maybe we should each do one model for rendering and make it public. I think ill start on xrt...

High guyz,

Great Nuse.
I like the scaglietti. And it's nice and clean. Maybe some crits later on about balancing spaces between some verts (front, fender). When i get to start up photoshop..

and what version of vray do u use? Is it VraySun, i see?


Wanna see this one finished, please. with fancy intirior.

[QUOTE=XCNuse;256423]nope.. lol you know i've never used a tutorial (or atleast never used a tutorial with something directly)

lol,... yeah right. no comment

and u know the boxter isnt perfect. at least not up to sektor's standarts.
i think the lights aint right. Maybe the blueprint wasnt correct, u should double chek...

Yeah pretty good work.
Didnt wanna say too much but its cool. I see ur really into modeling now.

And yeah for better quality models u need more mesh. I hear those people sayin that its best to not make more then u need. But how much is enough?!!
I think it just depends on the artist(modeler). When it seems right to your eyes then its enough i guess. But u could always be wrong fcourse, and thats when u need more practise i guess. Anywayz great job, but when u need more detail dont hasitate to add it. As long as ur comp can handle it...

And low poly modeling is just for gaming, as it has been for ages. I really hope that someday soon tho well get more playroom for gamedesigns.

maybe i should render some of my lfs work aswell. Dunno where to post it tho. And damn i really dont feel like waiting for ages. My comp is pretty much always busy with somekind of task other then rendering.

Quote from Colt98 :like i said i´m not good with the light settings. shadows and brazil are also a mistery to me. It takes a while to understand and try out these things.
What i wanted was a dark scene in an underground carpark but i can´t create the mood very well ( at least not how i want it).
I played around a bit again and made the whole thing a bit brighter but still a long way to perfection :tired:.
I also added a little foretaste to my modified XRG i´m working on right now.

Its not that hard...
just delete all your lights and use BrazilLights instead. Also chek your Enviroment settings...

Quote from XCNuse :there is no bespoke and there hasn't been since mid S1 and andylec is hardly part of LFS anymore (iirc he's only made like 5 posts here so far)

its vob incase you didn't read it

Say what??!
i guess i missed a lot of interesting mods..
i was also looking into how to import the tracks to 3ds...tschhh thats a bitch
Ofcourse only for rendering perposes but still just couldnt find a way. Those SMX track files dont work in anything. And the original files from the game, i thought i could openthem with this programm " Pro Engineer Wildfire". My friend google told me thats the company who made those file extensions. So logic dictates that their programm should be able to handle those files, but nooo. Ofcourse im just a noob in that field and got something i didnt understand and didnt get anywhere at all. So if u know anything bout that, i could use any help please. Its those track files in WLD map in LFS. They got extensions .lgh .lok .wld. And the programm i got(stole) is from this company.... http://www.ptc.com/
would be cool if we could find out how to work with those. I bet its just some
mathematical 3d programm that lets u pay more attention to coordiantes etc then on modeling., but hell what do i know

Quote from ORION :Well you can do everything, specially remocing things like the roof isnt that hard... select, delete
No, of course one must close the holes and make it look nice, but its not really that hard.

i didnt mean your Fz. m8
such projects take me 30 mins lol...
I was talkin to Nuse and askin bout his classic...

and as for this RAC... imean i know this cars aint existent but still.. its soo ugly.
Its for sure the uglyest car ingae that RAC. i never drive it lol. Altho i think its pretty cool. Its like a reallife MRS(toyota) or something.i just hate those lights, both rear and front. Thats what makes it so unbareble for me i think. Fcourse this gtr version look way sweeter then the original.... so that u know.

Compress before editing on the video.... u really dont know nothing lol bout video quality..

Its like forbiden to compress video sourece before editing. U loose like 50%of your original quality. And yeah maybe when u upload your final video to something like Youtube ye it gets downsamlped etc. so u dont see too much of ur great quality if made if HQ but u can always post a link to a HQ version of your video and trust me most people will et the HQ version even tho its bigger. So really for qualitly videos u need the best resolution video u can get. Also if u put effects in Premiere for example they would look much sharper and unrealistic then the video itslef. But yeah this is pure logic guys i can believe u post suck stupid quastions ROFL

and yeah sry for my tone

BTW. 1Gig for 10 secs seems abit too much. i remember doing like 20 mins clip for NFS full quality. Didnt take more then 8 gigz i think for the raw files. So chek your settings.
