You don't need any plugins to make it rain (have no clue about what happens on that video, it's in deutsch) ... You need to make reflection layer, it's a mesh 2cm above the track that the game starts to blend in visually after certain amount of rain. Try googling "rfactor rain reflections"

I already google information about rain and find 2 tutorials, how to make this. First a weather plugin for rF: http://symracing.net/rfeseries/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=51 and second one: http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Wet Track Tutorial

Which one you suggest ?

I have no idea, i have never installed any plugins to rF, it simply exist in my HDD for ISI AIW/CAM editor.

Hi. Long time i don't make any updates and posts here. So here is a little progress. Old roof looks very odd, so decided to improve it. Steel WIP.

Same simple renders. Need work on object. Find some mistakes

Also, here is wet version of track: [TRACK] - Rustavi International Motorpark

One man help me with this, and result is very good.

Hi. Someone own RTB ? Today i try to export terrain from RTB to BTB Xpacker and i get this error... I import .FBX file in 3DS Max and export as 3DS.

BTB's xpacker wants objects to be in DAE format (Collada).

Have you tried opening the fbx in 3dsimed to change the terrain to 3ds format. I've tried opening the fbx in blender, to do it but loose the textures, whereas 3dsimed imports the materials and textures perfectly.

You can certainly import 3ds into xpacker but the textures need to be in the same folder as the 3ds file your trying to import.

Thanks. I finally import it in XPacker. I choose wrong settings in RTB and this cause problem. I open .FBX file in 3DS Max and change texture name (GoogleMap to GoogleMa). Export as .3DS and add it in XPacker. Works good Bad is that texture looks very low quality in game.

mip bias maybe? For close terrain i use "-3", tracks -4, objects -3 or -4.

 

[ebrich]

Usually a Google earth image is only good enough for terrain at a distance - hills and other elevations. To make the terrain usable in the track surrounds you need to add another texture as a Multi. Gotta look in the archives for that example.

If you've got 3dsimed it makes life easier. You can change the "DirectX Shader" to "t1 mul t2" and possibly add an "add" shader to that.

If not, your going to have to do it the long way through XPacker with "Shader Type" in the "Materials" tab as "Diffuse, Multiply & Add". It's a bit of trial and error to get the right colour and texture in the final Terrain.

In the link I've put 2 multi textures. One I tinted slightly green -

In the pic there is a G Earth terrain image and the green multi

Can you explain this way ? I mean what to do in XPacker.

To get terrain i do this steps. Find place in google map and copy/paste code.

export as .FBX file. Open it in 3DS Max.

export as .3DS

Some error but file saved as .3DS and works great in XPacker. I'm interested what to do in materials tab.

Huge thanks for take your time and help me Looks much better than my previous terrain from google SketchUp and texture. Here is result. I need only tweak file to show full terrain from far.
