I import terrain and find my mistake. Thank you

If it shows then, you have inadvertently flipped the terrain tris upside down. .

EDIT: Another way to check is to use free flight camera and fly below the terrain. If it shows from below, it's definitely upside down.

This was main reason.

Sorry, been a bit distracted at my end.

Niece and Nethew were here because of school holidays last week. I have found my self testing/familiarising myself with a new car for a new season in a league I'm racing in.
I will try and work on the pitbuilding at the weekend

Thanks

These days i update tunnel and export my track in rfactor 2 for test. Not good result yet, but me and my friend working on it.

I have one question. I search information about animation objects, but can't find anything. Can someone explain me how to make animated flag, water and other objects ? For start i want to make animated flag like in time 0:29.

Things arn't going to plan, I planned to work on the pitbuilding this weekend, but other family responsabilities are popping up unexpectedly. It looks like your getting really good now at modelling, maybe it will be better if I upload what I've got for you to finish instead of waiting for me.

I have no experience of animated objects, but i know you can animate by switching textures using 3dsimed at the bottom of the material edit menu.

Tower update, little progress.

Kennett Ylitalo · Mar 9, 2013

Looking fine, just a little bit of weathering, wear and tear etc.

Hi. I have one problem and have no idea how to fix it. Someone can tell me way this wall side look like this ? It did not have a single side close (I make it in BTB).

Lee Knight · Apr 8, 2013

Material has been set to single sided only in the materials again...
Set to double sided..
You'll still have an opening at the end of the wall though, use the cross-section tool to set another cross section next to it & then 'pull down' the top 2 points of the original (1st) cross section line...
Do the same for the other ends as well afterwards...

I will try it today. Thanks.

Lee Knight · Apr 8, 2013

Didn't think to mention it before, but if you close the holes at the end of the walls then you don't need to set that material as double sided & will make things slightly easier on the game running...

Today i drive in track and note this strange thing. Terrain disappear when i drive.

And how to solve this texture problem ?

Lee Knight · Apr 12, 2013

For disapearing terrain like those pictures, go into SCN file & increase 'Far Clip Planes from 1500meters to something like 2500 or possibly more depending on terrain...
The 500 figure below that is the rear view Far Clip Planes & can be increased too if you wish...
Only adjust the larger number in either line as that is the max distance

If you want the lines to run length ways like road seams do in real life then turn the texture 90degrees in the Materials window.
If the material is used else where it will rotate them to though- a drawback...
You could always copy & rename material then use just here....
There may be other ways but Im not at home to check, sorry.
If it's to totally remove those stripes then I think it would require editing in something like PhotoShop...

Thank you. Me and my friend upload track in rfactorcentral.com, but its earlier version. I work on some objects and soon i will update it

Download: http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Rustavi International Motorpark

Hope someone test and enjoy with it

I finish tunnel

Mangoletsi · May 12, 2013

Looking really good.

Sorry, I forgot to tell you some things about the pitbuilding.

1. When you use XPACKER. On the materials tab, you need to tick on transparency by alpha for the hand rails and I think also the glass for the garage windows.

2. Also in XPACKER, the rear garage doors and handrails are double sided materials.

I hadn't completed any work on the glass for the upstairs offices, but was planning on cube mapping.

Sorry, i don't understand where i can find and check glass for the garage windows. I check for all textures double sided. I also change alpha for the hand rails. Thank you for information and help. First i check all of them in btb but thay don't work in game. Now i check all of them in Xpacker, and everything looks good.
