nice hehe, btw al, i posted my WRC ford team rs XFR car, can u render for me, i had new idea for a render scene while im here, new idea: use a mirrored floor, and 2 mirrored walls next to 1 car model , "like the corner of a room ,but mirrored", that way we see all sides of car with 1 model object, just an idea.

i had that with GTR, where the feeling of traction, imo lfs is the only sim that replicates feeling through the steering column, and this is the key factor to lfs feeling the way it does, i reckon its a feel u gota get used too.

WRC Ford Team-RS motorsports 2006 car for lfs
1024x1024,

im in the process of obtaining it 1 hour left . i dun think its fair to post initiall comments in here, and i think if i post at the RF section theyd get annoyed becuase its not official stated as released... tricky situation

edit: oops as ive written this it seems its officiall.

ive never seen anywhere anyone else promoting the skins, etc etc via using methods of rendering with pro 3d uttilities, they usually stick to the game render "as thats what were playing with" u dont see simbin promoting there work in 3ds max, again youd be angry to see the final product if they did, its a bit to easy to render cmx files, or is it that ....ok lfs doesnt look that good compared to alot of other race sims, were skinning cars for LFS not real life paint schemes on real cars....nowhere else do i see this blatant use of creation and artwork taken completely out of context than here.. i urge everyone as a community to post both a cmx and 3d max render < thats the compromise !

i ask how many of you have downloaded a skin from witnessing it as a 3ds maxrender, to later view your newly aquired skin in lfs,to then u change your mind about how nice the skin is really? i find myself doing it more and more- getting left with the feeling of having what is essentially an average skin....then again everything i see in 3dsmax render scene makes actual lfs look so average (crap compared to)...., what a downer that this is the way its going. only ourselves can change it.
"grrr" i dont hate renders a F$%^&^ love em ! im torn between all this tbh, but its just gone a wee bit too far with the renders, from a pov that all we gettin to see is renders that get the comments, thus alienating the cmx viewer shot- id like to thank TeazR for his work that is promoted more via cmx viewer shot ! consistency in skill is great together with a clear view of what were gettin for lfs..

from a few comments over at rsc,"same post as here" i think the best answer is to post 1 s2 cmx render and 1 3dsmax/brazil render in same post or have a post in renders threads with a weblink between picture files (if thats allowed of course), keeps everyone happy, saves hassles , and can keep things alive in respect of what were actually skinning (cmx files in the fabulous live for speed game)

sky diving michelin man logo ! brings a smile

hey thanks very much for nice appreciation i would "so" like a render for it, infact catch me on uklfs server sometime got an idea to explain to a someone - i got a render scene idea that would be good . latest version , oops i rendered in s2 viewer with red floor then croped the images out ,so lol it looks a bit pink around the front :-P , still a few adjustments to do....

this not what u want, (my 2005 honda btcc adaptation above post27 )
or does he not wana let you jazzy it up ?

i have posted this at rsc too, sry if its your second time reading. but i feel strongly about this..

i see sticky posts for rendered scenes ! , i see sticky posts for each car type within LFS (USER MADE SKINs), TBH when i view these renders of newly created skin by the skin masterz in here, it kinda annoys me, dont get me wrong i love lookin at them !
but...
these are not lfs skins ¬ when i look for a new skin for my car, i want to see the skin in s2 viewer, becuase half of these renders skins dont look half as good in the actuall game (LFS), what we doing guys ! makin skins, or your own art for the sake of it? yup were doin both ! but can we please appreciate 2 things !
showing a skin of in 3dsmax is not the point, please post em in 3ds renders post or whatever, lets make the actuall skin section represent what were doing, ie proper visual representation of your work for the product defined (LFS), i would also like to add to this that only the 3d rendered shots ever get the comments, or impress people ! i agree there fantastic ! but again its just not right ! your killing the whole users ability (those who cant render) your killing the skinning scene !...let our skins flourish !, or web admins please segregate the 2 formats of representation !.

imagine if the 3 devs promoted there new cars in 3dsmax, ,youd be unhappy to find them "not" that same quality in the final products ! i hope someone with a broad mind can understand where iam comin from and, dont flame just becuase u like them or make them !

Quote from BlueFlame :

thats a good skin i just think it would suit something else

such as ? i dont see another car as close to a "ford focus" as that... pointless comment..
